New York. The comparative
strength Of the allies and the central
powers is graphically shown by The
Balance Sheet of the Nations at War"
which has Just been compiled by the
Bankers Trust company.
"The world has great task still
before 1t in order to nullify the plans
Of the Hohenzollerns," says the intro
duction. 1.-THE task must not be belit-
tied, but 1t Is at least interesting to
see resources existing successfully to
accomplish this task, provided that
the nations or the world now opposed
to Germany continue to cooperate in
diligently and Loyalty until Germany
and her allies have been absolutely de-
feated and their plans Of world dOmin-
ion rendered permanently Ineffective"
Figures showing. for both sides, the
combined area, income and interest
charge, and cost Of the war in treasure
and men, are presented with the expla-
nation that they have been gathered
eith great care from the "best avail
able sources" and are believed to ''re-
fleet with substantial correctness the
relative economic strength Of the op-
posing groups Of nations" although 1t
is impossible to vouch for their abso-
lutte accuracy.
Controlled by Allies.
The allies. including the United
States, are shown. by this tabulation.
TO control 19,526,0OO square miles of
the earth's surface. or 94.l per cent Of
the total area held by the nations at
war. as compared with 1.222,0OO square
miles, or only 80 per cent held by
the Teutonic combination. The ag-
gregate population of the allies. exclu-
sive of the large Asiatic population
tributary to the British empire. reaches
the huge total of 473,25O,OOO, or 1853
per cent of the total Of warning peO-
pies. while that Of the central powers
is but 147OO0.OOO, or 23.7 per cent.
Without counting Asiatics and Afri-
cans. the allies have available for mill
tary service 81 ,70O.OOO men. or 1S.5 per

The, aggregate national income Of
the allies Is placed at go, 100 000. 900
and the interest charges each year at
1881 900, 600. which Is 40 per cent Of
the income. while the combined In
come Of the Teutonic alliance Is esti-
mated to be 16.6O0, 900. 900, and inter-
est charges $1.o70. 600 900. which IL
lis per cent Of the income.
Regarding the cost Of the war q Ia
Bile is presented showing that the al
lies have spent $72.2O0. 000, 900. or al
per cent Of the total cost Of all warning
nations. while Germany and her allies
have spent $109, 500. 900. 900, or 35.9 per
cent.
In killed, wounded and missing the
conflict has cost the allies 8,992, 956
men. or 587 per cent Of the total hu-
man losses, while It has cost the cen
trail powers 8,301, TIA. or Alb per cent
Of the total Of 15,294.729 for last Sep
TENDER.
In the Introduction to the balance
sheet 1t Is pointed out that. while the
exact figures are not available. 1t IL
u well-known fact that Me surplus
food producing sections Of the world
are practically controlled by the en-
tente allies. either directly or through
their control Of the seas. The same Is
true, to a great extent, Of territories
producing metals and coal.
"Japan has not yet been an active
factor In the European theater Of the
war;" comments the pamphlet. 1T
has, however, effectually guarded the
Pacific ocean. It has enrolled in its
army about 1.5O0,OO0 men. out Of an
effective man power of lO,5O0,OO0 The
entire army and navy. as well as the
unenrolled man power. may be said to
be still in reserve.
"While Russia has nominally about
5,OOOO80 men enrolled in its army and
navy, 1t still has an enormous reserve,
as the total number of men available
for military purposes aggregates
around 3O,OOO,OOO.
Russian Situation Grave.
"The extreme gravity of the present
situation in Russia is, therefore. APP
parent, especially when it Is borne In
mind that, II Germany can gain con-
troll Of Russia or force separate
peace with Russia, even If Russia re-
manned thereafter simply neutral, 1t
would be possible for Germany to draw
therefrom an enormous quantity OF
foodstuffs and the raw material for
munitions Of war. On the other hand,
If Russia can be kept in line with the
entente allies, 1t would seem that the
Teutonic allies must be compelled to
capitulate. at n reasonably early date.
from sheer exhaustion.
"While considering the danger
points we must not overlook the fact
of the virulence Of the Teutonic sub
marine campaign. 1t is impossible,
however, to present figures in this con-
nection which have statistical value.
1.-THE fact should not he lost sight of
that Germany now controls Belgium,
northern France. Serbia. Roumania,
Montenegro. and large portion Of
Poland, having combined population
of about 32,3O0O0O. 1t is true that
men Of all these nations are serving

TO LEASE THIRD FLOOR
Odd Fellows Vote to Enlarge Guar ters-Reeords of Prosperous Year

Quinebaug lodge of Odd Fellows voted favorably on the proposition of leasing the third floor of the Town Hall building. providing suitable ar engagements can be made with the se- lectnen of Killingly. The committee named by the odge to confer with the selectmen is made up of Clifford II. Starl1weather, Howard Burdick and Arnold H. Battey.
 This fraternaI organizat tion is one of the growing and enthusiastic ones of Danielson. It's records show that dur ing 1916 s350 was paid out in benefits, helping eighteen different members. In addition the organization met the cost of keeping one brother in the Odd Eel lows home and paid out $400 to non resident members, this amount, how ever, coming back from the lodges of the members receiving the benefits. The amounts paid out to members during the year ranged from $4 to $170.
 Fifteen new members were added during 1916. An important develop ment of the past year was the organ izing of Rebekah lodge, which is prospering.
 Income Now $1so.
 It is announced that the third issue of shares of the Building and Loan association is being subscribed for in a satisfactory manner and that 13O shares had been Sdken up to We'd nesday. With the other shares placed in force during 1916. and the interest from the money invested, the organi- zation now has an income of about $500 a month.
 Two loans are desired for the erec- tion of houses in DanieIson in the spring. Each of these prospective loans. applications for which will be filed at this months meeting of the board, is for s2.000. The two loans, $4,000, if made, will take the income of the association for a period of about four months and a half
 The association now has arrived at the stage where 1t is of real benefit to Danielson and is fulfilling its mis- sion in a very pleasing way. Only 15 shares have been forfeited since the organization started doing business.
 Does Not Recover From Accident
 Friends of Frank W. Chapman, a meat cutter for many years a resi- dent of Danielson. will regret to learn that he remains incapacitated follow ing an accident, many months ago, in which he broke both hips. The accf- dent occurred at Springfield, Mass, where MT. Chapman had been located for number of years. MT. Chapman at a home. near New London where he has been for about a year.

Peterson Bros, Dear Sirs: I was afflicted with what the doctors said were Varfcose Ulcers, and up until about five weeks ago I have been treating them for about year and five months.
 With all the treatments that were prescribed to me by several doctors received little benefit, and they kept spreading and gave me much distress and caused me to quit my work.
 I was induced by a brother brake man to try Peterson's Ointment, and after I had used two boxes saw the wonderful results. You can tell suf- fering ones troubled with ugly, pain full and horrid ulcers that your Oint- ment is a cure for them when every thing else fails. as I have tried about everything.
 Thanking you many times over, I am, your happy friend, Chas. J. Heyser Battle Creek, Mich. 42 Glenwood Ave, Jan. i2. 1916

 Having entered the Sixth cavalry as d prite. young Duffy's regiment was among the first to be ordered to the Mexican border. .and in an expedition under General Pershing he won notice for conspicuous gallantry. He was one of a scouting detachment attacked by Mexieans when nearly all of the mem bers of the party were badly wound ed To bring them aid Duffy man aged to work his way through hostile territory for a distance of seven miles.
 Awaiting himself of the opportunity to become a commissioned officer he passed the mental tests, but he apparently was disqualified by being one-haIf inch short in statute of the governments minimum height for officers of its army. In view. how ever, of his gallantry, and through the influence of Massachusetts mem bers of congress. President Wilson was induced to make an exception in his case an dissue a commission.

STOLE GRAY MARE.
One of Pair Owned by Foundry Com psny Traced to Old Stable In Tuck CTS Lane.

A gray mare. one of a big pair own ed by the Putnam Foundry and Ma chine company, was stolen from the concerns stable at the foundry dur ing Tuesday night the loss being dis covered early Wednesday morning Police, deputy sheriffs. employees of the company and others were soon en- gagged in a search for the horse, which was. located during the forenoon in an old stable in what Is known as Tuck CTS lane. a few miles east of here. and was brought back here. The horse was found by Victor Morin and an- other empfoye of the foundry company. tlle men tracking the horse eastward by following calk marks of peculiar nature that showed in the snow and ice.
 Two men encountered by the suc- cessfu1 searching party inquired what they were looking for and when told it was a gray mare one of them said: tYou'H find her fin that old barn down the lane" And so they did. Evident 1y the horse had been fed. The idea of the police is that the horse had been put there to remain until We'd nesday night. when it would have been driven away.
 Entrance to the foundry stable was gained by prying off a big, stout hasp driven into the side of the stable for the lock attachment. The horse taken was f1itched in an old broken down ve- hicle that had spofkes out of one wheel and a broken spring. such a rig as one would hardly believe capable of travelling mile without collapsing.
