of us in military preparations. We are
facing an enemy whose military estab-
lishment has been so highly developed
that it brought on the war. To carry
on our part successfully and bring the
war to a speedy conclusion, billions
have been and will be spent. The ag-
gregate total of the two Liberty loans
has defied our comprehension. Yet
this amount, in proportion to our
wealth and resources, does not equal
the burden placed upon us in the pre-
viOus wars.
Ia the Revolutionary war the Cont
mental congress- was forced TO depend
upon credit bills and acquisitions
drawn against the colonies. Our first
interior war loan was made in 1775.
1t amounted to about $4,000. A year
later a second loan of $5,OO0,0O0 was
authorized, but only $3,7S7,OO0 was
subscribed. Then paper money was
issued and by the end of 1879 congress
had authorized $2OO,O00,000. An equal
amount was paid by the various states.
Continental bills of credit deprecated
90 per cent in value. Robert Morris
came to the assistance of the govern
ment and by his great ability financed
the war. He even made personal
loans.
In the Civil war the financial diff
oulties were also great. The country
was suffering from a business depres-
sion when hostilities began. One Of
the first efforts to raise capital was
an issue of $150,OOO,OOO of legal ten
der notes, and a bond issue Of $780,
OOO. 900. The bonds bore interest at 6
per cent and were issued in popular
denominations Of from $50 up. AS in
the Revolutionary war, financial gen.
Jus appeared in the person of Jay
Cooke, who was extremely active in
making the loan a success. He adver-
tised extensively and employed 1850
agents. The same year congress is
sued another $150000,000 in treasury
notes. In all, the aggregate amount
of government loans during the Civil
war was $4,000, 100000. About 6 per
cent was paid on most Of the loan.
Certainly, we are now in an infinite
lv better position to finance the pres
ent war. Where the interest rate was
6 per cent on the first Civil war loan
tho initial rate on the first Liberty
loan was 31a per cent. Our wealth is
many times greater in proportion to
the population than in 1861. We can
afford to, and will, push this war vigor-
ously to a successful conclusion. Any
strong nation that hopes to endure
strong cannot shirk it's duty.

PRICE CONTROL
NOTHING NEW
Oriental Laws Forbade Selling
Over or Under Standard Price;
Ancient Banking and Business
Methods Same as Ours
By S. W. STRAUS
prominent New York and Chicago Banker)

Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union }
We consider ourselves very much
advanced in our control of food prices.
1t might do us some good to look back
q little and see what the ancient ORR
entails did in this regard thousands of
years ago.
The Brahmanic and Rabbinical laws
fully equal the measures we have
adopted. For example, besides seeing
that not too much was charged for
food or other articles, the former law
provided a penalty for selling under
a standard price. Rabbinical law linn
tied storekeepers' profits to Is % per
cent.
Economic history-the story of
banking and Observation-Disclosures that
some of our so-called modern insti-
tutions" are in reality as old as the
hills. Some economists claim that the
division of labOr"-that is, the spe-
cializing by one individual in a single
operation in manufacturing-is some
thing comparatively new and did not
exist to any extent prior to the eight
zenith century. But against this we
have the statement made by someone
that caste in India is division Of
labor gone to seed"
And the socialists dream of an ideal
state is also nothing new. Plato once
proposed an elaborate plan for a new
state. He figured it out very carefully
and decided to limit the population to
5,O4O. If the number of inhabitants
ran over that amount colonies were to
be established; if below, prizes were
to be offered to stimulate it's increase
Another suggestion of Plato's was that
the children were t. be the property
of the state and common to all. In
Sparta everyone ate at a common
table. No payments of money were
required and the products of all were
shared by everyone.
Further in Greece factories of con-
siderable size existed. Some employed
hundreds Of wOrkmen. A factory
would be devoted to the exclusive pro-
duction of one article, such as a tunic
Most of the labor was performed by
slaves. Even the most humble citi-
zens of Athens had at least one slave
They were sent to the river to drink

with the horses and were branded on
the forehead.
Contracts in Athens were bound in
two ways. One method was the in
formal handshake and the other was
the formal contract where something
was pledged. AT one time men pledged
themselves, but this was stopped I'M
der the Jaws of Scion.
We're the Athenians familiar with
apartment houses? 1t seems so. Wit
ness the following statement by we'll
known French economist: people
built for speculation a sort of inn,
the apartments of which were let to
strangers whom politics or commerce
attracted to Athens, and who had no
right of citizenship there" Rentals
in Athens amounted to about S1a per
cent of the capital invested in the
property.
In the. claim of Germany that she
he's secured control of the seas through
the destruction of shipping, by sub
marines, we have a parallel case in
the history of Rome. The Romans
were never fond of going to sea and
had a peculiar horror of commerce.
In Carthage they destroyed 500 YES
sells. Augustus, who brought victory
in a naval battle at Actium, greatly
feared water. 1t was through their
wholesale destruction of ships that the
Romans gained control of the sea.
Ancient Rome faced the same prob
lem we do in the congestion Of cities
and neglect of agriculture. Virgil
lamented this tendency and contrasted
the artificialities of city life and the
simple pleasures of rural living.
Rome, too, had "big business" The
great bulk of her commercial and IL
nancial affairs were In the hands of
the Equities" or Roman knights. The
entire industrial fabric was dependent
on them. Roman "big business" just
like that of today, was not immune
from attack. 1t was constantly being
assailed and accused Of graft.
The Romans even used checks about
the same as we do today.
Today we boast of our world fairs.
But Europe, during medieval times,
was not unfamiliar with fairs fully
equal to ours. They were really an
economic necessity, as people were at
tracted from far and near and ex-
change of products from every part of
the world was facilitated. The largest
fairs were held at NOvgorOd, in Rus
STA, Leipzig, in Germany, and Stour-
bridge, England. An English fair at
st. Giles covered an area of seven
miles and lasted sixteen days.
Even in this day who has heard
of a bank with 5000 branches? Such
an institution existed in medieval
times in the Knights Templar They
conducted a general banking business
and maintained 5000 branches.

G. Morini of the Italian Bersaglieri
While on patrol he stopped German

The adjutant, a German captain, he
captured after a struggle, and turned
him over to the nearest Italian com
