BORN TO THE WAR

To-day again." writes Philips Gibbs
in the New York Times, 81 have been
among the thousands of French sol
diers. 1t is splendid to see them be-
cause of their fine bearing. They are
men in the prime of life, not so young
as some of the British, and with
graver look than one sees on the Brit
ish faces when they have not yet
reached the zone of fire.
"They are men who have seen all
that war means during these years of
agony and hope and boredom and
death. They have no Illusions They
stare into the face of death unflinch-
ingly and shrug their shoulders at It's
worst menace and still have faith in
victory.
"They are not gay or boisterous in
their humor, and they do not sing like
the British as they march, but they
seem to have been born to this war,
and its life is their life, and they are
professionals"
And these are typical soldiers of an
army that so many of us imagine is
exhausted and dispririted, represent
ing nation "bled white"
There is no exhaustion in France,
no failing of spirit, no national anemia.
More than million men have been
killed. More than a million have been
disabled. But there are millions still
in arms, fine, outstanding men with
good red blood in their veins and with
fighting spirit in their hearts that
all the blood-letting of which linden
burg's hordes are capable will never
diminish.
Born to the war" is an illuminat-
ing phrase. That is the French army.
That is French manhood That is the
French nation. And thanks to France,
that is the spirit of the whole great
Alliance of which we are a humble
part. For ourselves, we ask nothing
better than the teaching and comrade-
ship of those bronzed Gauls who
stare into the face of death unflinch-
ingly and shrug their shoulders at its
worst menace and have faith in vic

GERMAN CAMOUFLAGE.

German women are not appealing to American
women to supply them with shiploads of free
food.
It is for the release of railway cars and loco
motives to be surrendered to the allied powers
under the armistice terms.
The German women argue that unless these
cars and engines are left in German hands food
supplies cannot be brought from German farms
to German towns and cities for distribution, in
which case starvation is likely for hundreds of
thousands half-famsihed on that scientific war
diet which we were told while back was such
good thing for the over-fed peoples of the
world.
The long, four year war taught us all that you
can't trust anything that comes out of Germany.

troops from front to front and up and down the
lines in bewildering numbers and with bewilder-

German troops their enormous supplies of food,
clothing, camp equipage, ammunition and guns.
The same cars and locomotives that hauled from

FINANCIAL CHANGES.


The first great trade influence that we are
likely to see Immediately is an insistent demand
for food, for raw materials and for certain manu-
featured products from abroad.
That demand will be so insistent that it must
be met. 1t will not be confined to the beligerent
countries, for the war has dislocated commerce
the world over.
If we are to sell to other nations great amounts
of our products, raw materials and manufactures,
the question must at once arise, in view of exist
ing international financial positions as to how
other nations are to pay for what they need
Whatever is bought must in some way be paid
for. This must either be by the sale of goods to
US, by the export of gold to us, by floating with
us in some form, credit obligations. They can
not at once provide goods in sufficient amount
to pay for what they need from us. Certainly
they have not the gold to ship and we ought not
TO demand it. That leaves the inevitable conciu-
sion that we must absorb foreign credit obliga-
tions in payment for large part OF our ex-
ports.
Our ability to develop great foreign trade de-
ponds on the willingness of the country to ab-
serb more foreign securities. One thing the war
has shown to us is that we greatly underesti-
mated SCFeHgLn OIL our Ii POSi1loiA' OuA
savings our ability to make new investments,
jumped from six and one-haf billions year to
a total this year of Is billions
Our capacity to save is so great that it seems
clear that we can probably devote very large
amount of our avings to investment in foreign
securities. The total is not less than three bill
lions year. The banks and the investment
houses have great role to play in wisely select
ing foreign investments and intelligently popular
izng them with our investors.
The financial change in the position of the Uni
ted States brought about by the war is one of it's
most significant results. In the period from the
wars outbreak to the time that we ourselves en-
tered the struggle, this country bought back of
our own securities held abroad about two and
one-half billions It purchased the obligations of
foreign governments to total of some So, AGO.
100000, and now since entry, our govern
ment has loaned our associates over seven and
one-half billions. This, with the increase of for
eign bank credits, makes total change in our |
situation measured by about twelve and one-half
billion dollars.
The highest estimate of the amount of foreign |
investment in this country placed the total at I
five and one-half billions. We have now paid off 1
