 Bringing with him an extensive col lecton of small msmlnals. reptiles and birds. Roy 0. Andrews, head ,of the Asiatic zoologicai expedition. has ar rived in New York, after a year and a half in the remote provinces of China. ''
 The expedition spent much of the time in the mountains of Yunnan and progressed as far as Thibet. Mir. An drews' adventures included everything from hunting "blie" tigers to buying chickens at the rate of two for one empty condensed milk can.
 Politically China is in a chaotic state, Mir Andrews reports, as most of the provinces are 50 tar removed from the central government .at Picking that any change of authority does not make itself felt. Socially, he declares. 1t Is overrun with bandits, most of whom are recruits from the army. iAc-, coriling tof Mir. Andrews. there is mo great moral difference between Chi- nese common soldier and . bandit.
 In many places he found trafic by water impossible because the army has a habit of ustns small river boats for target prsetiee.
 The expedition found the border of Thibet an ideal place to live in. Food nay be bought with old bottles and cans. There are plenty of servants and no ruinor of the war has pene- trated that far.

GERMANY BANKRUPT

Germany, according to the British chancellor of the exchequer. has pass ed votes of credit since the beginning of the war amounting to approximate ly s23,5OO,OOO,OOO, and her national revenues have beeu increased by $s42,0O0,OOO. The British chancellor says there are indications that Ger income lacks $275.000.00O annually of being sufficient to pay the interest on her war debt. notwithstanding that many will be rendered "hopelessly bankrupt" by the war.
 Great Britain, although much richer nation than Germany. has to- tai national debt of between $24,- 500,OOO,O 900 and $25,000,000,000, mi nus 5000, 900. 900 advanced to the allies and $500. .6o0, 900 to dominions. The net increase in England's debt. due to the war, is $15,OOO,OOO.OOO.
 The impression has gone abroad superficially that Germany, by some magic or legerdemain, has been fin- sncing the war without suffering a strain on her financial resources, but the truth is the very opposite. The money of the German people has been turned over and over and all they have in return is promise. The gov ernment has been able to borrow or buy little abroad. consequently it is living within itself to a very great extent. It may go bankrupt before the war ends, but the mortgage will be held by its own people. and no doubt that is one reason why they citus toI the pdsstbuity of victory-to make the enemy pay this vast debt.
 The experience of the war has shown that costs increase in direct ratio as the struggle proceeds. The war cost to England today is nearly twice that at' the; bsginningi The Am ericah people, during the first year of the var, will expepd something like $19 900 ,000, ,0O0-a considerable part of which will be loaned to the allies-and it may be expected that the outgo will be largely increased during the ensuing fiscal year.
 In view of the increased strain on the worlds finances and of the>desper' ate situation in which the German government already finds itself it does not seem to be wld prediction that Andrew Bonar Law has made regarding the probable condition oi bankruptcy which will prevail in Ger many when the war ends.
