 Short term national defense bonds, of which there are now outstanding about 24 0N,000 francs, will also be converted into bonds at somewhat higher rate, adding perhaps 50o0o.o00 more.
 The balance of the estimated increase in the interest charges is made up of 500,000,000 interest on the 1000, ,000000 re- quired to repair war damages and 500,- 0Q0,000 more on fresh loan of 10000, 900, coo
 For each additional year of war, about S001, ,o10.G01 francs must be added to the budget to care for the added war debt If the war enus within a year, the amount France will have to raise each year will be in the neighborhood of l., ,000, ,00c,000 francs, according to present estimates. That amount is susceptible, however, to important reductions. For example the national defense item will depend upon the measure of success ob- tained in tie constitution of the society of nations.

FRANCE WILL OWE ! STUPENDOUS SUM
 AZ TER THE WAR
Some Figures Are Given Showing Great Increase of the Public Debt
 Since 1914

Paris, January 9.-(Correspondence oi the Associated Press. )-The public debt of France was about 115,O90,o0o 900 francs at the need of 19l7 or $1,c0o, ,oO0, 900 more than on July 31 1914. At least 500Oo, 900, ,0OC more will be added to it during the course , of this year, bringing it up to 165. .O00, ,O00, oo0 it is expected.
 The interest charge in 1914 was 1037- 0o0 francs. At the end of 1917 NJ Klotz. minister of finance, estimated il at 4,725, ,000tC00 francs.
 Based on the cost of the war up to the end of 1917, the budget of France as compared with that of 1914, is estimated as follows:
 National defense appropriations, 1914, 2.6ls, 600 600; after war, 2,SOOO0o. 0O0
 Public services, 1914, 1850 000, 900; after war; 3,OO0, ,O0o,ooO.
 Interest on public debt, 1914 1906, 900, 600; after war, 6,135, eco, 900.
 Pensions and social reforms. 1914 200 OoO,0oo after war, 2,6oo, 900.
 Pensions based on the casualties re- ported up to the end of the year are es- timated at 700,000o00 francs annually.
 The interest charge will be increased, 1t is expected not only by loans already est on sums advanced by the Bank of France, which must eventually be con verted into loans at higher rate This item is estimated at 240,000,000 a year.

 The Doss patent is as simple as falling off log, when one sees the patent pGncture-proof inner tubes. gets the idea of their construction and manufacture in his head, and 1t is easy to visuaiize the success of this great enterprise. The plan upon which the Doss tire Is cal- culated to make good is one of expan- sion. The inner tube is larger than the outer tube, and when the tube is filled with air, the expansion makes it im- possible for the tube to leak. Nails arc driven into it, one or 500, and when they are extracted there is the same solidity to the tire that endured prior to the punctures that would have meant disaster to any other tire.
 "The fact that we have received ad- vices from Vice President Davis of our company not to make any special effort to solicit stock subscriptions, as the pres ent allotment had about been placed, leads me to the belief that the com pany will even be In operation sooner than anticipated.
