GERMANY'S PUBLIC
DEBT is IS BILLIONS
Officials Expect She VIII Not
Repudiate II.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-Study OF Ger
n'any's financial situation has been un-
dertaken by Government agencies here
with view TO throwing light on the
ability OF the German nation to pay big
sums as PREPARATION for devastation Of
invaded countries. Unofficial reports In
dictate that Germany's national debt, rep
resented mainly by war bonds held
within the empire. is now almost $685.
OoO.O0o.OO0, or almost two-fifths of the
estimated national wealth OF $50, O0O,-
900. 900.
Although there has been no official an
aouncement or intimation of the aggre-
gate amount which the Allies will expect
Germany to- pay, 1t Is certain TO run into
billions OF dollars, and necessarily the
terms OF payment must accord with Ger
many's ability TO pay. This ability viii
be measured by the nations power TO re-
vive her peace time industries and trade
and to tax this for state purposes
Financial observers here say some
claims for restoration and restitution set
forth by interests In few allied nations
are extravagant because they are be-
yond Germany's ability, even though this
is estimated at the highest.
The victorious Allies will not concern
themselves primarily, it is believed. with
Germanys redemption OF her own ma
tlonal debt. since this is largely internal.
Comparatively small amounts OF German
war bonds are owned outside Germany.
and perhaps the largest sums are held by
citizens of the United States. former
German subjects.
Officials here who have knowhinter-
nal conditions in Germany in the Sast do
not believe the Government will repud!-
ate the internal indebtedness, but think
rather that taxes will be made so heavy

MAX TELLS SECRETS

Wants Germans to Summon
Assembly.

BASEL. Nov. 1sh-Prince Macmillan
OF Baden. the former German Imperial
Chancellor, in an article In the Prussian
Year Rock. in which he reveals certain
facts about his brief term in the Chan
cellorship. says:
The German people by the formation
OF q popular Government is liberated
from the dictatorship OF Gen I.uden-
dorr and will never tolerate another.
1t would be shame for Germany II
It's enemies. wishing to talk only with
a legally established Government, were
themselves obliged to convoke a Con-
stituent Assembly. The Government
should not surrender this initiative. II
1t governs democratically II can be as
sured of the support of all Germans
animated by liberal ideas in the accom-
plishment OF its gigantic task"
The former Chancellor reviewed tho
circumstances in which he asked for an
armistice and showed that the conse-
quences ofNhe offer were the resignation
or Gen. Ludendorff, the Chief Quarter
master-General, and the abdicatlon Of
the Emperor He continues:
An attempt was in the making to
Dust completely the coalition Govern
ment. In the first clash in connection
with this move Gen. I.udendoTff gave in
TO the Government, bat in the second
clash he resigned.
The question OF the Emperor's abdi-
cation then came up, The Emperor was
conversant with everything and q deci-
sion due to his own initiative might
have spared the empire serious convul-
sions, but his hesitation must not be
interpreted against HIM as certain infiu-
ences worked on him to persuade him
that his abdication would be the signal
for a collapse"
