Germany's bankruptcies are several

greatest. Germany's casualties are ten
fold her armies against France in 1871
Her man power is not equal TO the de-
mands which grow with every opening
of new front, as the weakening on the
western line shows. Her trade and ship

to say that they are bankrupt. Worse
than all is the German moral bankrupt
cy. Except her allies, there is no coun-
try which regards her procedure as with

most recent utterances of the kaiser was
"The German sword will regain lis the
respect of the world. Things will be-

spected." That could not be true even
if the sword should enable Germany to
pay its debts with indemnities. If it

Hughes did; or deliver one or two non
partisan addresses here, as Mr. Wilson
did; or let everybody here know early in
the game what you think of them, as
Mr. Roosevelt did. II you are a poor
foreign brother, unlettered in the Ian
guage of the land, unskilled in the art
of making a living, and overtaken by
unemployment you will find board OF

it their business to see that you are
comforted if they cannot get You work.

CORN PLANTING URGED.
County Agent Loveland of Orange Coun.
ty Gives Suggestions.

County Agent Loveland of 0rang,
county urges the farmers to take up the
question of corn planting at once and t.
pick out their seed for planting next
spring. He writes:
With shortage of seed corn through
out the United States and especially in
the more northern sections, and a season
coming in which we are facing a short
age OF labor. it is deeply important that
we select the variety and quality of corn
best adapted TO our needs. One of the
best ways of increasing our corn crop
without corresponding increase IN la
Dor is to use seed which will give us the
greatest returns per acre.
With corn Tor grain this means care

varieties are better as rule than seed
from a distance. Why not plan now for

the ten best ears from your seed corn,
test carefully for termination, throw out
any which are at all doubtful, select
good place in your cornfeld, or better
vet, a separate plot for planting. Then
next fall, select from that plot part at
least of your seed corn. You will be
to see how large an increase
YOU can make in a few years by this
method. You viii also be surprised to
see how quick your neighbors will be

GERMAN BANKRUPTCIES.
Financial and Moral Insolvencies Are
Tremendous.

German finance is so evaslve that 1t
Is useful now and then to find firm
ground for Judgment about it. If there
Is any such thing, it must be the state
ments of the imperial German chancel-
lor to the Reichstag, and one of them
was published yesterday. Count Won
Hertling asked for a new credit Of tif-
teen billion marks, and added that the
seven loans to date totaled seventy three
billions. German credits are spent before
they are funded, so that there is reason
for adding those sums. Germany's fund
ed debt before the war was over TWEEN
ty billion marks. Here are indisputably
l0S billions on which the interest cannot
be less than four per cent, and must av-
erage more. Peace is not in sight and
peace on German terms was never so dis
iant, but, already the German interest
charge exceeds four billion marks year.
This is the irreducible minimum of
Germany's obligations. To this must be
added items which cannot be calculated
outside Germany, nor stated candidly
inside Germany without arousing alarm
comparable only to news that the enemy
is at the Rhine. At the date of the last
Joan the total of the seven was twenty
billion marks below the credits voted.
The difference seems deficit which must
be covered in some manner. There are
outstanding German treasury bills to-
the same figure. There is, in addition, |
over eight billion marks of notes of the
Reichsbank in circulation. The German
war loan banks have reported circula-
tion of about six billion marks. But /
why pile up the full list, when the mark
is mere counter, with values shifting
daily? Germany's neighbors will not
take marks, but barter for goods so far
rs trade is possible on any terms. Ger
many borrows from one neutral under
threats, and secures loans from another
with commodities. There are records of
Germany having offered Is per cent dis
count for credits outside the empire
Perhaps no living nation ever was in such
desperate financial stress.
1t is no reproach to Germany to say
that it is impossible that these loans
shall ever be repaid There are other
loans without date which are valued be-
Pause their principal never falls due. But
they are not loans of nations whose in
terest obligations are larger than the .
savings of the people in times of pros
perity, and which there is reason to sup
pose NAV be larger even than the total
national increment of wealth from which
the savings can be made Whatever du-
plieations there may be in the pyramid
ing of German loans and currency, no one S
outside of Germany can figure an inter '
est charge much below the eight billions {
of marks which the Germans saved, ac- c
rording to the calculations of Herr Ha- S
Fenstein, president of the Reichsbank t
He thought Germany would not be ruined
if they spent their drink and tobacco d
