New Loan Amounts
 Only One-Eighth of
 the National Income

To most of us who experience difficulty In financing the daily substinence of "ham m" Uncle Sam's task or selling S6,0O0,000,- 900 worth of Liberty Bonds is really not appreciated. Dr. J. C. Broom trations of what this enormous amount of money means at the aI- lied army luncheon yesterday. He said,
 Six billion dollars Is $2s54 for every minute since war was de- ciared in August. 1914, and $7600 for every minute since the United states entered the war In April. 1917.
 Six billions of silver dollars. If piled in columns 10 miles high. would require 950 columns, and if laid side by side would girdie the globe at the equator 67 times.
 Yet, this vast girdIe of silver represents only one-eighth of our national income, and only 28 per cent of our estimated national wealth. The resources of our banks are seven times greater than $8,OOO,- OOC,OOc.
 Our estimated national wealth Is x2JO. .00O. 100000, and our national debt, including the last Liberty Loan. Is only S12,0OO, ,OOO, 900, whereas. Gcrmany's estimated ma tiOnai wealth Is SSO,O00, ,OOO 900, against which she has n war debt of S3O,OOO, 100000.
 It can he readily seen, therefore. that Uncle sam Is not asking us to do an impossible thing. nor to undertake even Il hard task i'm raising S6,OOO. .OOO.0OO.
