AMERICAN AND GERMAN FINANCES

Pessimistic Amercians who view with alarm our increasing national ob- legations may derive a great deal of comfort from a comparison of the f. nancial conditions of the United States contrasted with that of Germany.
 The total resources of the United States are estimated at about S250,- 000, ,000,000; our annual earnings are estimated at about $50,000,0 900. Our national debt, including the third liberty loan, may be put around $12,- 00O, ,0OO, ,00G. Before the war our Government was spending about $1,00O, 100000 year. When the war is ended. interest charges, less the interest collected from our loans to our allies, Govern ment insurance expenses, and other necessary expenditures growing out of the war may conservatively be esti- mated at something like $1,000, 900, 900 We are confronted, therefore, when peace comes, with raising only a cou- pie of billions a year revenue, a slight task for a Nation of such tremendous wealth, capacity and resources.
 
 the war were estimated to be ESQ., | OOO.O00. The annual expenditures then of the Imperial Government were about $500, 0,000,O00. Her debt now is 1 S3O, O,0OO,000,000, and her resources and man power have been severely impair 1 ed, After the war she is confronted with additional expenditures growing
 out of the war totaling somea $4,O0o,- | 000,O00.
 i The interest of her war debt, even | if the delft grows no larger, will be about $1,500,OO0,0o0. Although she | is niggardly in her pensions to- pri- vate soldiers and their families, $1,- | COG. 900, 900 a year would hardly suf- flee to pay even small pensions to her | injured and the families of her sol diers who have been killed. Her
 war debt must be paid some time and
 a, sinking fund of per cent. would
 add $1, ,5OO, 100000 to her annual tax

 their debts, but the increases will not 1 change the relative situations.

 yet the Imperial Bank of Germany

TODAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The Society or Company of Jesus, otherwise known as the Order of Jesufts, was founded by Ignatius Loyola, who died on this date in 1556. LoyoIa was a page to Ferdinand V. of Spain, and afterward soldier. Having been wounded in both legs at the siege of Pampeluna, in 1521, he renounced the military for the ecclesi- asticaI profession, and devoted him. self to theology. Dedicating his life to the Blessed Virgin as her knight, he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and on his return in 1534 laid the foundation of the great order in Paris. Chastity, poverty, obedience and implicit submission to the holy see were required of candidates for membership in the Society of Jesus. Pope Paul III. confirmed the constitu- tion by a bill issued in 1540, Orig inally the number of members was not to exceed 60, but that restriction was afterward removed. The order has been carried to the extremities of the globe.

STOCK MARKET



 New York, July a1.--United States Steel was the central feature of to- days stock market, it's initial trans action of 10000 shares at 1oS to 108 IA representing an over night gain of virtually one point Steeps remark able quarterly statement had ben ehcial effect on the general list, all though the more substantial gains were made by gas issues, which added to 1-2 points to yesterdays ad- vances Profit taking caused mate rial recessions among leaders soon after the opening.
 The abrupt, reaction in United States Steel, which yielded all it's gain, and further weakness in Sumatra Tobacco and. General Motors at four point de- clines, provoked general unsettlement, leaders falling under yesterdays final prices. Peoples Gas also cancelled nearly all of its advance but oil shares were advanced 1 1-2 to 1-2 points on reports of improvement in the Mexican situation. Prices stead jed irregularly at midday, Steel nak- ing full recovery. Liberty 3 1-2s sold at 99.82 to 99.9o, the As at 9e.10 to 95.44, and the 1-2s at 95.02 to 95.18.

YOUNG WOMEN
 REGISTERING FOR NURSES
Bridgeport Girls to Number of 30 Have Already Made
 Application to Serve.

Young women of this city who are eligible to enroll in the student nurses quota are not proving backward by any means. Those, in charge of the Registration station in the War Bu- reau office are being kept busy by the applicants who are eager to enter this splendid service. It seems an assured thing that Bridgeport will go well over the top in it's share of the quota.
 A mistaken impression seems to have gotten abroad concerning the necessary qualifications. It is not necessary for a candidate to have had high school education, but they must have a grammar school educa- tion, a year in high school or it's equivalent in business course. Those who have been working for two or three years even if not high school graduates are acceptable.
 Thirty young women have been &C., cepted thus far, and this is good start toward the 100 demanded from this city. There were 45 in all who applied but 15 could not come up to l the requirements.

from the large barn gave the first in
timation that the BUILDING was ablaze
inside, where there were stored among
other things forty tons Of hay and 200
bushels of oats. The building, fine
structure worth $4,000, soon was a
mass Of flames, and was destroyed
completely together with it's contents.
From the barn the fire spread to a
corn crib and granary, in the latter Of
which there were 500 bushels Of oats
and 270 of wheat; 70 machinery
house, containing $500 OF farm machin-
cry: the hog house, and the wood stavo
silo that was being filled. All of these
buildings and the silo we've destroyed.

value of the buildings. He carried
81, 900 insurance.
|, In addition to the loss in contents of
the buildings destroyed, Mr.. Gilgen al
SO will have some loss in household ef-
Ffects. Because it was feared the house
