Germans Hold Financial
Club Over Their Allies

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the American Army in France
April 5.-The American intelligence
service has learned that Germany has
established a system of financing in
new territory, enabling her TO hold a
financial club over Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey.
By cancellation Of all obligations,
she could bankrupt these countries in
the event they made a separate peace.
Since the war started Germany has
been drawing heavily on Austria, Bull
garia and Turkey for supplies. Bull
garia, especially, has grown wealthy
out Of the warm German obligations
German paper, given in return for
vast amounts of foodstuffs, petroleum
and raw materials, purchased from
Bulgaria, who previously had obtained
it by p~lundering Serbia and Rumania,
would be worthless if Germany chose
to declare a moratorium or refused to
live up to her obligations.
Inability of G~ermany's allies to-
eseash in'' on this German credit
would leave them bankrupt, officials
declare. Fear that Germany might re-
pudiate her obligations is Instrumental
in keeping her allies in Line with Der,
Inns policies, it is believed.

WHY WE ARE
AT WAR WITH
GERMANY
BY
EPHRAlM DOUGLASS ADAMS
Executive Head, History Depart

Leland Stanford Junior University

The object Of his war Is to deliver
the Tree peoples of the world from the
menace and the actual power of a vast
military establishment controlled by an
irresponsible government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry out the plan without
regard either to the sacred obligations
Of treaty or the long -establIshed prac-
tees and long cherished principles Of In
ternational action and honor; This
power Is not the German people. II Is
tne ruthless master Of the German peo-
Pile. IL is our business 10 see n

world Is no longer left to its handling"

MAJOR GRANTS LEAVE
IN MIDST OF BIG BATTLE
BY X. WALTER

LONDON, April IL met a mar
home on leave at lunch today, When
did you come over?" l asked. "Yes-
terday. Forty-eight hours ago l was
in the thick of it." In the midst OF
the great battle he had been notifiej
by field telephone that he was aue to
go on leave and his Major had per-
suaded him to go.
Last Wednesday evening | received
letter from a major of engineers, al
so in the thick of it. 1t wa, dateo
Monday.
These are. small matters to send
across the ocean as echoes of the
great conflict but l believe they will
help you to realize better than any
official assurances the methodical
calm with which England's supreme
effort for democracy is being con-
Quoted. The behavior of the people at
home is match for the imperturable
working of the last military machine.
Personal anxiety and suspense are
universal. l do not know a family
which has not one real defender of
democracy in the heroic British divi-
sions known or believed to be engaged
in the battle, but in public there has
been no sign of uneasiness. Only the
questions we ask each other have
changed. They are no longer exclusive
ly concerned with the movement of
the hour. The future is still inscrut-
able in all its details but it is a longer
future than it was a few days ago.
Will the battle be decisive? Will
it bring peace? At the time of writing
the best opinion l have been able to
answers yes to the first and
shakes its head over the second. As
a deathblow to the very last German
hope of ultimate victory it will be
decisive. So far as strictly military
events go it will not end the war be-
cause the German general staff still
las in reserve sufficient forces to carry
'ut big alternative plan of defense

You can absolutely depend on this
remedy as it has proved effective in
thousands of cases where a hacking

balsam and healing ingredients soothe
the throat, loosen the phlegm, the anti
septic properties check the cold germs
and feverish or grippy feelings are
promptly allayed.

prepared for just such an eyentuality
as they seem likely to have to face
Cautious minds are prepared for a
deadlock on a new line which would
in effect be a German defeat, Brit
ish victory, and a challenge to Ameri-
ca. The issue of the war would be
assured but its duration would de-
pend upon American arms and Ameri-
can shipbuilders.
We know today that the first Ger
man plan of offensive has been ter
ribly defeated, that the German sacri-
flee of life has been overwhelmingly
TOO great for even German wireless to
support the early claim of victory
which was part of the prearranged
plan of battle. Their capture of terri
tory, prisoners and material will not
stand comparison with the loot OF
their comparatively bloodless often
sives in Italy and Russia. The price
has been so high that they are on
the verge of bankruptcy and, like
bankrupt, prepared for still more des-
perate throws. For nobody makes the
mistake of believing that the enemy's
offensive resources are yet exhausted;
it is considered probable that he will
