GERMANY PRACTICALLYA
 BANKRUPT NATION

Germany's total indebtedness is $31 ,000, 100000, which means that each one of her 68,000, ,000 inhabitants, men, women and children, will be in debt $456. Here in America, with a population of 100000 our total in- debtedness is only $6,000, ,00O, ,000, or a per capita indebtedness of only one eighth that of the German citizen-a matte rof $57 each. We can run our Liberty Bond flotations up to $50,- COG, 100000 before each one of us owes as much as each German across the Rhine.
 Tn other words, we can run this war at our present rate of expenditures for eight years before we are as bad off as the Germans are today. Don't be frightened at the money we are spending. We are not 'fbreaking" our selves. We are spending very little of our national wealth. Buy bonds. If this war lasts for eight years, Ger many will be so badly 'fbroke" it can never be put together again.

WAR AREA COMPARISONS

In visualizing the conditions under which the European war is being fought, it would be well to appreciate that Arizona, with about 114,000 square miles of area and 204 ,000 popu- lation, is just about the size of Italy, with it's 35,500,000 people. Belgium has 7,500,000 people tucked within about the same area as Maricopa county. France is about the size of Nevada and Utah, Germany of Wyom- ing and Colorado, Austro-H Hungary of Texas and European Russia cores ponds with the whole of the United States westward from line drawn north and south through Kansas City.-Ex.

(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Jan. 24-While declin-
ing to comment directly upon. the
statement attributed to President Will
son, that there will be twice as many
American soldiers abroad next June
as had ben originally planned, Sec
retary Baker said today:
THE program of the department
has been constantly developing one,
and many difficulties and limitations
have been removed or overcome.
cannot discuss numbers of men in
France or anticipated to be in France
at any particular time, but we have
made substantial progress"
When General Pershing sent his
first battalions into the trenches with
veteran French troops, formal an
nouncement OF the fact was made
here, coupled with the explanation
that these were rounding out their
training course. A similar announce
ment either directly from General
Pershing or from the department is
expected when American troops
finally take over whatever sector of
the battle lines they are destined to
fight in.
Recent press dispatches from Gen
eral Pershing's headquarters have
shown that considerable part of his
force, at any rate, was now regarded
as fully trained. There have been no
hints dropped as to when the Ameri-
can front would be established, but
the impression is gaining strength
here that the day is not far distant.
