IANsDOwNE TAKES PEACE
PEN IN HAND AGAIN.

London. July 31.--In a lettel
written by the Marquis Of Lans
downe, former minister withou
portfolio in the British cabinet
he says he is convinced that there
is "a deep-seated desire for 4
further explanation as to the con
ditions upon which we are pre-
pared, not to make peace. but "a
open a discussion which might
lead to peace"
In beginning his letter. Lord
Lansdowne said:
Eve are about to commence
the fifth year of the great struggls
for liberty, and next week VIC
shall reafirm q solemn resolve not
to desist from the effort until
peace with honor is in sight.
Meanwhile, with every month that
passes the toll which the war IS
claiming becomes heavier and
heavier. J"
Lord I1ansdowne referred to the
estimates placing the casualties Of
the belligerents at 100000 of
which 1000. 900 have been killed
and 100000 made prisoners or
numbered among the missing and
to the decline in the birth rate
which. according to the registrar
general in recent paper, is cost
ing the belligerents 12,5O0,0oc
DoIeAtial lives, Of which $4,000
have been lost to England and
Wales.

GERMANY s WAR FINANCING

! Counting ON an early victory
and heavy indemnities-seven bill,
Iron dollars had been fixed for
France by the General Staff, ac-
cordlng to report-Germany s
military despots planned in 1914
to make the world pay high for
It's lessons in German Kultur. The
German people were to pay moth
ing; all they must do was to con-
tinue their worshipful obedience
OF the Kaiser, and the fruits of
conquest were to be laid at their
feet. When the 'treacherous"
Belgians delayed the triumphal
march to Paris and the "degen-
crate" French stubbonly refused
to let them pass, no change was
made in the German method of
financing the war. When Eng
land with all her colonies arrived
to strengthen the band of steel,
less emphasis was placed on early
indemnities. but still the war was
being fought for the benefit of
future German generations, and
they should. therefore, pay the
bills. For that reason it has been
financed by lon gterm loans and
currency imitation. During the
first year no war taxes at all were
considered. Instead of that the
loan BANKS arlehenskassen
opened, where the people
could take practically any kind Of
property and get a loan in newly
printed currency up to a good
percentage Of it's value. In addi-
ton to this, the Reichsbank has
issued a vast amount of notes
against imperial treasury bills
and thus greatly increased the cur
rency imitation. This, coupled
with the freedom from heavy tax
alton, stimulates business and
helps to keep the people satisfied.
It aids the sale of German war
loans.
This plan for escaping the heav-
lest financial burdens of the wa:
was not continued long before
Germany had to begin borrowing
TO pay interest ON it's war debt.
It sold bonds to the people to get
money to pay the interest on
bonds they already held. mol

Government, this process can be

THE object of the Council of

members Of the Legal Committees
shall post themselves fully as to
the contingencies which should be
anticipated on behalf of these
men, and themselves 90 to the
men who are about to be called,
take up with them their entire f.
inancial situation. consider with
them whether thew should pre-
pare a will, whether further prep

of property; whether especially

whether in other ways the legal

EXPECT MANY AT
MARKET SQUARE
Anticipate That Church Will
BE Filled When 1t Is
Reopened

When Market Square Presbyter-
ian Church opens it's doors tomorrow
morning it is expected that a large
congregation will assemble. The
people have been deprived of church
privileges so long that they will
go with gladness mt. the house of
the LoId. All the regular church
goers Will come back with joy. TS-
irregular ones will make good their
VOWS. And the people who haven't
been in church for months, or even
years, have realized the loss. Many
of them will come with the people
who delight in Gods house. The
minister's subject for the morning
is one in keeping with those great
days, the greatest days in the his
tory of the world for centuries. The
collapse of nations, the sweep of
the pandemic over the earth, are
enough to make the Thoughtful
pause, and the careless to think.
All services which can will be re-
sumed, and will go forward as US
ual. The communion which was
stopped by the placing of the ban
will be held on the last Sunday of
November. Children will be bap-
tized the first Sunday of December.
After that it is hoped that the
church will be in its usual order.
