: NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Credits and
debts piled for and against Germany
since the start of the war have been
printed here in the New Yorker
Stats Zeitung. newspaper printed
in the German language. Credits, as
compiled by this newspaper, show
nothing but liabilities.
On the credit side OF Germany's
ledger are arranged the despoiiation
of France, Belgium, Serbia, Monte

Of Russia, the aid given Bulgaria and
Turkey, which has resulted in Ar
menian massacres, the destruction
of millions of tons of shipping and
the successful fight carried on by
militarists in the reichstag against
election reforms.
On the debit side stand the sacri.
flee Of the flower Of Germany's youth
in war, the decentralization Of Ger
commerce, the loss of her
colonies. the disrepute into which
Germany has fallen in America, and
the growing conviction in Germany

A KEOkUK CURE
FOR HAY FEVER
Lawyer Proves Up on Bright Idea
and is Preparing to Act on
it Again by Rising
in the World.

The dean of the Keokuk hay fever
colony is preparing for the annual
migration to the top floor of the
Hotel Iowa to escape the stuffed head
and retain the ability to say, please
place the paper properly"
w. G. Blood evolved the plan of
escaping the ills of hay fever and of
staying at home and attending to
business at the same time. Last year
it seemed impossible for him to go
to Chevoloix, as he had done for
many summers, on account Of bust
ness engagements. He reasoned that
one might escape the causative dust
by going upward seven stories as
well as by going horizontally two or
three hundred miles.
He tried it and found that by TAX
ing a room on the top floor Of the
hotel and staying in it from o'clock
in the afternoon until s o'clock in the
morning he could spend the day at
work in his Office and the couSts
without suffering from his annual hay
fever scourge. He is preparing to
move into the same room for the next
six weeks.
