War Expenses.

The cash receipts by the Treasury
Department for the sale OF war
savings and thrift stamps for the
month Of July were more than
double enough to meet the normal
pre-war expenditures OF the govern
ment They were s2I1.4l7.sIa, or at
the rate of about 81 for every man,
woman and child in the country.
1t is expected that the sales will
show q steady increase as the peo-
pie take on more and more the
habit OF thrift formed by the pur-
chase of this class Of government
securities.
The normal expenses OF the gov
ernment will. therefore. be met for
the period OF the war by these small
contributions from the pockets OF
millions OF the people, with q large
surplus for war expenditures.
Finances the Government.
No better scheme OF financing q
government during war could be
conceived than that IL should be
supported by the purchase by a
majority OF its people of securities
ranging in value from IS cents up
to IS, and leave the receipts from
bond issues and taxes free for war
expenditures. The sale of war
savings and thrift stamps has not
only accomplished this. at the pres
ent rate OF sale. but promises a
surplus Of q billion or even two bill

HERR HARDEN

OWE BELGIUM
Gives Caustic Comment on
Hertling's Definition
of Pawn.

London. Aug. 2.-when Hertling,
the German chancellor, described Bel
gium as a pawn. the German press
and the German wireless appeared
to think he had said something very
clever and expressed the truth Of
the situation with singular felicity
and exactness. But there is one Ger
man at least who does not appre-
ciate that description. is indeed furi-
ously angry about it. Herr Harden.
the most caustic as well as the
most truthful OF German publicists,
dealt with il in the Kukunft OF July
20. He said:
The evidence of Herr Won Beth
mann. Herr Won Jagow and Herr Won
Bulow, which has not been and
cannot be answered. proves that
Belgium has no debt to the Ger
man empire and that Belgium full
filled her duty toward Germany by
whose proposals he was neutralized

legation to protect Belgium by force
of arms Since then II IL the case
that Germany committed a crime
against Belgium. Hertling's defni-
q ton Of q pawn simply means that
he does not know that / cannot Sc
cure myself against danger which
threatens me from a third party by
means Of a pawn seized from his
friends-that I cannot break into
the house of a Bavarian prime min
lister because I hoped to find secur-
ity against a dangerous imperial
chancellor.
Harden points out that even IL it
were true that the Germans found
compromising documents In Brussels,
II would not alter the case. In this
conDsction he SAYS:
Must Compensate.
when a man has murdered Mueller
in order to shoot at SchulZe from
Mueller's house he cannot claim ac-
quittal for the murder on the ground
that the police have found letters In
Mueller's writing table which bring
Mueller under suspicion Of an in
trigue with Schulze."
Finally, Germany's plain duty
toward Belgium as stated by Harden
is as follows: international law for
bids the German empire to keep a
single paving stone Of a paved street,
and commands Germany to restore
the kingdom in the extent, the wealth
and sovereignty which II had before

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Observers Of the foreign exchange
market last week saw nothing in the
narrow rate fluctuations to indicate
that it was rejecting the war news on
the Western front. Exceptionally quiet
conditions peryaded the market and
few changes of significance we're made.
The most striking movement was in
lire bills, the cable rate for which yes
terday went to 500. The rate Friday
was 8.49. The quotation for checks
followed the same course. Yesterdays
rate was the highest level attained in
the last six months, and indicates that
the plan now under way for stabilizing
Italian exchange is succeeding. Lire
bills have been strong all week. The
Improvement of the rates in favor of
Italy is due to the control of the mar
ket jointly by the Italian authorities
and the Federal Reserve Board.
Rates on Spain and India showed
some weakness yesterday, but for the
other five days of the week were
steady. With the exception of these
few changes the market was stable.
Dealers in exchange remarked that sell
dom had they found conditions in the
market more dull.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, follow:
