NEARS FINANCIAL
BREAKING POINT
Germany Has Morigaged Most
of Her National Wealth.

Germany's financial position is
desperate and rapidly approaching
the breaking point. After she raised
her eighth war loan, her national
debt. it is estimated, approached s.
600000,000 pounds. 1t is assumed
that since then it has reached 7,000,-
100000 pounds. On June % last the
Reichstag adopted vote of credit of
15,000,000,000 marks, which, it was
then declared would raise Germanys
war debt to $4,000, 900, 600 marks, or
nearly 7,OO0,0O0,OOO pounds.
Assuming that the debt stands
now at $4,000, 100000 marks, Ger
RAINY has mortgaged, therefore, nor
than two-fifths of her national
wealth, estimated at 10000, 900 900
pounds.
That this figure is approaching
Germany's limitation in the war is
indicated by remarks made from
lime 10 title by authorities in Ger
hiany.
