hatred of the allies seems to be deep
er than hatred of Germany.
Therefore the United States cannot
render direct aid to the struggling peo-
pie Of Russia. She cannot send them
armies and supplies. for they have re-
fused to do battle for themselves. To
fight for Russia she must fight on the
western front. She must do her share
toward humbling the kaiser, and fore
Ing him to relinquish his grasp on the
East.
That is why We cannot talk peace
with Germany as long as the kaiser
has one single Russian province un-

London. Sunday, Nov. 17.-(By

Clynes, British food controller, writ

lone of the problems which lie be-
fore Great Britain and her Allies In
the immediate future is the feeding of
the destitute and almost starving
masses on the continent Of Europe.
There is no doubt that the condition
of the enemy countries and some Of

which we cannot afford to ignore.

Of FOOD Sent Il

spondence, Of The Associated Press.
Thirteen tons of food was carried

ever delivered to troops by airplane.
Continuous rain. shell fire and ar
tillery fire had ground the roads out

into channels of deep mud. BY eve
ming the general in command Of the
Belgian forces reported that supplies
of food had been exhausted. Would it
be possible, he inquired, to send food
up by airplane?
The answer was that 1t would and
the task was assigned to the Belgian
Air Forces and to the Fifth Group of
the British Royal Air Force. Their
job was to deposit army rations at q
point to which nothing but q bird or
an airplane could penetrate.

CERMANY'S
DEBT IS NEAR
s. BILLION
Nation Owes. Almost Two.
Fifths of Estimated
I, Wealth of Country.

asn'1sfGn financial Maz stuaeioa ae
been undertaken by government
agencies with view to throwing light
on the ability of the German nation
to pay big sums as reparaton for de-
Of invaded countries. Unof-
ficial reports indicate that Germany's
national debt, represented mainly by
war bonds held within the empire, is
two-fifths Of the estimated national
wealth Of eighty billions.
Although there has been no oficial
or intimstion; 1T the
aggregate amount which the: Allies
will expect Germany to pay, it's cer-
tain to run into billions Of dollars, and
necessarily the terms of payment
must accord with Germany's ability
to pay. This ability will be measured
by the nations power to revive 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 Germanys ability, even though
this is estimated at the highest.
The victorious Allies will not con-
Germ themselves primarily, it is be-
lieved. with Germanys redemption Of
her own national 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 known in
ternal conditions in Germany in the
past do not believe the government
will repudiate the internal indebted
ness but think rather that taxes will
be made so heavy as to force citi-
zens to turn in their bonds in settle-
ment. In this way the debt would
be cancelled without actual repudia-
ton.
There is some discussion in official
circles here Of the advisability of the
Allies requiring payment Of an in
definite amount for reparation, this
sum to be determined in the future
by commissions, as the physical re-
construction progresses in Belgium
and Franco and the actual cost of
the work becomes more clearly deter
mined than now. It is pointed out
that future prices cannot be measured
accurately at present Interest on the
part of American officials in the sub
ject is somewhat indirect, however.
inasmuch as the government expects
none Of the payments to go to its
credit.
Whatever may be the weight Of the
final burden of reparation and res
titution to be placed on Germany, the
enormity Of the task ahead Of her
may be illustrated by comparison OF
her national debt with that of the
Bnfted States. Germany has 66,-

Sentiment Of Leniency i.
Object Of Germans in
This Country.

Washington, Nov. 1s.--Government
agents see evidences that German
propaganda machinery in the United
States Is put in working order again
to promote sentiment OF leniency to-
ward Germany in peace terms. Con-
seauentsv, deps ss,nent ot justare otti-
'cials today warned that the public
should remain, watchful against re-
sumption Of orsanized propaganda by
interests formerly actively pro-Ger-
man., and for the last year passive. !
Concerted movement is apparent,
officials say, In utterancae of many in
dividuals, few organizations former
ly active for German interests and
some newspapers. There is no organ
lied leadership. It is believed, but To-
cal interests have taken their cue
from official pleas, from Germany for
leniency in armistice and final peace
'terms.
The interest Of the government
agents combating enemy propaganda
at this time Is not to suppress free, ex-
preston of opinion, it is explained,
but to fight any concert Of propa-
gandists whose purpose would be to
confound the authorized spokesmen OF
the nation in Forthcoming peace negol
tiations. Officials say during the re-
construction period, there may be
considerable danger from enemy
propagandaIworking to make the ma
ton forget Germany,,s course during
the war.
Illustrating the attitude that the
war and its dangers are not yet over
It is stated that department. OF justice
agencies have ordered the internment
Of some Germans since the armistice
