GERNfANY'S FINANCIAL CONDI-

The ninth German war loan will
bring the war debt to 39,0OO,OO0,-
900 marks. American fnanciers
point out that the more paper there
is afloat in Germany the easier it
will be to trade one piece Of it for

many is preparing to pay only 2 per
cent on her 5 per cent obligations,
funding the difference of 3 per cent
by additions to the principal. This
since it concerns the Germans only,
who seem willing to submit to- it,
should object However, with 3 per
cent constantly added to the prin-
cipal of an unpayable debt, one won
ders how Germany is to escape a
financial crisis that will be cataclys-
NAL in its character.
Even ii no further loans should
be made, Germany must, if she is to
remain solvent, have annual reve
nues aggregating $3,250, 900.
If German victory were in sight,
there would be levies on conquered
nations sufficiently large to meet
these demands, just as she paid for
forced contribution Of billion dol
lars from France; but with peace
on allied terms this will not be pos
sible, and Germany must meet her
obligations within herself as best
she can.
This financial situation shows
how important it is to Germany that
mitted to resume her operations in
the field of world trade Her great
wealth was made in the last forty
years in that field, and if peace
should restrict her activities there,
her war debt would absolutely crush
her. No wonder German financiers
fear a league of nations that would
If this were done, Germany would
quickly sink to the position of a
second class power and trouble the

WHAT THE ARMY HAS DONE.

When we were forced into the wal
by the arrogance and aggression OF
the Potsdamania crowd we had the
smallest army of any great nation
on earth. Not only small in num-
bers of men; but small in equipment
Mexicans laughed at it. But less
than a month after we entered the
war, part of that little army was on
it's way over there And in two
months we had passed the draft law
calling upon able bodied citizens
within the age limits to hearken to
the call of war.
And within one year after the first
American left for France we have a
is now in the neighborhood OF
100000 men. We have reduced
the period of training to the min,
imum. We are turning raw material
into finished soldiers in six months;
and the time is not far distant when
our efficient army officials will be
developing raw recruits into GOOD
soldiers in three months, SURPRISING
anything in this line any other ma
ton has ever done.
Our. reservoir OF men for the army
is such as to insure force of at
least 100000. men by next year
without extending the age limita-
lions of the draft. In other words
we have at least that number of
men on hand in the best years OF
life for strenuous army work. OF
course, millions more would be need
ed for other than active trench work:
Registration Of the young men who
have become Of age since last June
alone insures 100000 more to those
we had registered. In June, 1919,
there will be another 100000 Of age
the best age for army life. Eng
land waited two years before re-
sorting to the draft; we did not wait
at all.
We have inaugurated the greatest
soldiers insurance system in the
world, thus adequately providing for
the needs of dependents of killed or
manned warriors. In spite Of the
draft, 900 men day are volunteer
ing--and this amounts to good
deal in a month or year. The
average who have gone over since
last December numbers $4,000 a
month, according to Washin gton in
but the number has in
creased monthly until now the 200,-
600 mark has been reached and is
being passed. 1t is estimated that
by the end Of this year there will be
more than 100000 Americans in
France. Going some? Well, yes

" Who Will Win
This Battle ?"

! Much of your comfort depends upon
knowing that your system will perform
its functions properly.
Your kidneys are the filters of the body.
If they become inactive and fail to elm
mate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism of the body
out of order, thus toxic pOisons can ac-
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing tho minor ailments of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
ache, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with An-u-ric
(double strength }.
Anuric was first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and has benefited thousands of sufferers
as well as appeaSed and eliminated the
ravages of the more serious kidney dis
eases. Now procura5le at any good drug
store, or send direct to DR.. V. NJ. Pierce,

HOW )esROW
Nv Onions. D

Onions can be produced on almost
any good garden soil, and constitute
one of the standard crops found in al
most every garden. The usual plan in
the home garden is to plant sets in
rows far enough apart to suit the meth
cd of cultivation to be followed The
sets need not be more than 2 or
inches apart in the rows.
Onion sets may be planted as soon
as the ground can be worked and be-
fore frosts are over. Some kinds may
be planted in the autumn. The potato
or multiplier onion can be planted from
sets in the autumn and viii produce
excellent early green onions.
Onions may be grown from seed Ell
Their by starting the seed in the hotbed
and transplanting to the open ground
or by drilling in rows directly in the
garden. With good soil and proper
care it is possible to produce good
sized bulbs from seed in a single sea-
son.
Onions require frequent shallow Gull
tivatiOn, and it may be necessary to re-
sort to hand work in order to keep
the crop free from weeds.
If it is desired to use the onions as
green or bunch onions they may be
pulled at any time after they are large
enough, otherwise they should be al
lowed to grow until they reach matur-
ity. If the onions start to throw up
seed stalks these should be removed
or the seed VIII be formed at the ex-
pense of the bulbs.-U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
