most favorable conditions could not
produce enough TO even pay the inter-
est on such a colossal debt. In other
words. the future OF tae German people

Now as 10 GermanyS commerce

Before the war her ocerseas exports
had amounted In a single year TO si,-
100000. Now, except for her trade
with European states, all Of her COM
merce is gone; it Is safe to say that In
the four years Of war, Germany's loss
IN trade amounts to more than six bill
lion dollars. How much Of this trade
she Will be able 70 regain is ques-
tiOn.
in the matter OF ships, Germany
has lost the great bulk Of her seagolng
tonnage. Hundreds OF her finest ships
are now In the possession Of the Allies

as great as Germany. Ths Islands 10
the Pacific cover more than 5000

none OF these colonies WIFI ever be re-

"As to the German Empire, Just what

turned 10 the French from whom II was
taken IN 1874. Denmark Will probably
claim a state on her border which Ger
many took from her many years ago.
Added 10 all OF this, Germany has suf-
fered tremendous losses In mineral
wealth and wastsge, the value OF which
cannot be fully estimated. Fully one
third OF all her iron deposits In the
great Brley district are lost. The Ger
man railroads could hardly be IN worse

Thousands OF automobiles and vehicles
OF all sorts are mere wreckage.

"Yes, l mean Gerpany," said Uncle
Harry slowly, gazing into the fre. "the
most pitiable spectacle that history has
ever afforded Of a great nation falling
from the heights OF progress and ac-
complishment TO the depths OF ruin
and disgrace. The sight Of Germany's
grand fleet steaming out under the white
flag and surrendering 90 the navies Of
the Allies seemed TO mark the final
chapter in the record Of a counlry's
gigantic gamble for world domination
Germany's rulers staked all on the pos
slbility OF victory and lost With them
the war had come TO be a question OF
victory or ruin and it IS the latter that
now faces the German people, their rul-
ers having deserted the sinking ship
