THE WAR A BENEFIT TO GER
MAN FINANCE.

The ofncial Norddeutsche Allese-
meme Zeitung (Oct. 10) reproduces
what 1t describes Is very interesting
on the part of Gwinner, of
the Deutsche Bank. on the inexhaust-
IDLE finances Of Germany:
German means would long since
nave been exhausted had the English
cut Germany off from world COM
merce. but contented themselves with
placing an embargo on her import of
arms, ammunition n other var ne
cessities, instead of prohibiting also
that OF pleasure and luxury articles.
AS 1t is. Germany has saved her
strength! Capital can only be created
by working and saving. The German
people ave been working and saving
to their utmost capacity. The saving
on beer and alcohol alone. calculated
on the peace basis, amounts to 1874
milliards (of marks) a g and pro-
.p~ortionate in other directions has been
the saving of clothes, lighting, food,
and luxuries. Germany is living on
the accumulated stores of 43 a Of
peace. These stores will suffice for
years to come. Such few commodities
which she possessed in insufficient
quantities she has learned to replace
by substitutes, as. for instance, nitro
gen 0 explosives and manures.
IlTouSn the adu bringing OF these
reserve stores into the market, such
enormous sums in capital have be-
come liquid and have flown continu-
ously into banks and saving boxes that
the demand for an Understanding
investment of these moneys is once
again automatically renewed and
strengthened. Since the beginning Of
the war the number Of creditors Of all
German banks together has doubled.
The deposits in the savings banks and
collecting boxes of the poor and
poorest are greater than before the
war, even though from these sums
also billions have been subscribed to
war loans"

vORWARTs CONCERNING THE
NEW NATIONAL PARTY.

The Socialist organ writes, in it
issue of October 10:
There is no further room TO,
doubt. il eve any existed, that thu
new party takes its stand opposite to
the reichstag majority, not with a
view to healing differences of opinion.
but with the deliberate intention Of
sowing d%issension. The latest war
cry uttered against Kuhlmann's AL
sacc-Lorraine speech proves that the
opposition of the new party will be
equally directed against the govern
ment's foreign policy. A government,
therefore. which permits such a party
openly to pursue it's ends becomes a
laughing stock. We personally have
a very short answer for the new party:
Where the true majority of the Ger
mar people rests a not be proved
by the utteranccs Of a party press,
subsidized and advertised by war;
profiteering funds. not by organized
demonstrations Of 1000 III Of the
100000 inhabitants of Greater Ber-
lin. The fact of where the true ma
jority rests will come out at the
polls at the mex general election, to
which, in spite Of all the national
party's s%hrieking we look forward
with the greatest confidence"

GERMAN PROPAGANDA ACTIVE
Secretary McAdoo Warns Against
False Statements Issued by Ger
man Secret Agents.

That the German propagandists are
still busy in the United States is ap-
parent, and that they are still capable
of harm is manifested by the follow
ing statement recently issued at
Washington by William G. McAdoo,
Secretary of the Treasury:
My attention has been called to an
insidious propaganda that is being car
ried on, probably by secret agents of
Germany. to SOW the seeds of distrust
in the minds of savings bank deposit
tors by false rumors that the United
States government is contemplating
the confiscation Of the savings of the
people. The absurdity of these state
ments is manifest. In order. however,
to allay the fears of the few who
might be alarmed by such reports, l
repeat thai !he3e rumors are wholly
basoless."

Would You Stay Their Hands?

Were a strong man to come to
your home for the purpose OF
despoiling it. and should you
grapple with him and get him
by the throat and have him
down and he were to cry out for
peace and at the same time
reach out and set fire to your
house, would you stay your
hand? This is about the war
situation today.
The Hun came to Belgium and
northern. France, devastated the
country, burned the homes, kill
ed the men rayished the women,
and starved and crucified the
children. And he did wilfully
and feloniously take. steal and
carry away all the personal
property that he could lay hands
upon; he laid tribute on the
cities and towns; he led away
captive and into slavery such of
the ablebodied men as offered no
resistance to his destruction Of
their homes and added to these
many thousands of women.
Now, that he has staggered,
stumbled, yes. almost fallen, he
cries out, Peace" and at the
same time sets fire to the cities,
towns and villages, and even the
peasant houses, he is forced to
leave.
More than two million Ameri-
can soldiers are now on foreign
soil. They have gone there with
the one idea of bringing lasting
peace to the world. They have
not yet accomplished that task,
but they are on their way.
When these boys left home for
the army camps, their slogan
was, ITO Berlin or BURST and
from that day to this they have
steadily faced in that direction.
Some have been killed, many
more have been wounded, but
never a whine, never a turning
away from the task they have
undertaken. Millions of letters
have come back from across the
sea. Do they want to come
home? Certainly, but not one
has expressed a desire to quit be-
fore the job is finished. On the
contrary they want to fight, and
fight and keep on fighting.
They are not even willing to
leave the battlefield when wound
ed. and they often run away |
from the hospitals and sometimes
they reach the front when too
weak to carry a gun. Would
you stay their hands before
victory crowns their efforts?
The spirit of the boys over
there is faithfully portrayed in
the following excerpt from a
letter to his mother written. byI
Lieut.. R. E. Spiyey of Car toz.
Miss, after he had been in
