 U S. RESOURCES-The importance
 of the aid of the financial resources
 of the United States in winning the
 World War is shown in the following
 passage from War Finance" a new
 book by C. w. Barron, well known
 financier and authority in the banking
 world
 Before the war the debt of the seven
 principal warning powers did not eX-
 ceed $25000, OoO,000 and the annual
 charge upon this debt for interest. etc.
 was a little over one billion dollars per
 annum.
 Then the public and private fortune of Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria Hungary, and Italy did not eX- ceed s250, 0,000, ,000,0oG.
 One may see from this what it means I in the fight when the United States , came forward and President Wilson : pledged every dollar of $200 000. 100000
 of American wealth to the war for na tional freedom and democracy. The United States alone then outclassed , Germany three for one and more than Q doubled the wealth and machinery , power of the. allies.
 The United States entered the con : test with only a billion debt. a neglig- , ble interest charge, and the ability n under wise financial management C , shoot into Germany more than the en- F tire wealth Of Germany before any in

 wealth or financial resources under orr
 solidified banking system, Uncle San S stood head and shoulders over in
 whole world-a world in which the
 French figure at the end of 1912 there
 was in circulating securities only S170, ,000 000. 900.
