AMERICAN AND GERMAN
NANCES

PeSsim1stlc Americans who view
with alarm our increasing national
obligations may derive a great deal
on comfort from comparison of the
financial condition of the United
States contrasted with that of Ger
many.
The total resources Of the United
States are estimated at about $780,
100000, 900; our annual earnings are
estimated at about $4,000, 900 900.
Our national debt, including the third
liberty loan, may be put around $12,-
OO0,O0O,000.
Before the war our Government was
spending about $1,OOO,OOO,O 900 a 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- estimated at something Like ST. ,OOO,-
100000. We are confronted, there
fore, when peace comes, with raising
only couple OF billions a year
revenue, slight task for Nation OF
such tremendous wealth, capacity,
and resources.
The resources of Germany before
the war were estimated to be $80,OO0,-
100000. The annual expenditures
then OF the Imperial Government
were about $800,O00,O00 Her debt
now il $4,000, 100000, and her re-
sources and man power have been
severely impaired After the war she
il confronted with additional ex-
penditures growing out Of the war
totaling some $4,OOO,OOO,0O0.
The interest OF her war debt, even
III the debt grows mo larger, will be
about 81, 10000 900. Although she il
niggardly i'm her pensions to private
soldiers and their families, $1,000,-
600, 900 year would hardly suffice to

BAPTIST PASTOR
HAD / FINE SERMON
TOLD WHAT WAS WRONG WITH
coRDELE SOCIETY

A house of people greeted Rev.
Wallace Wear at last nights service
when he preached, telling what is
wrong with Cordele soc ETY.. But the
discussion in the sermon in no way
dealt with the things which the sens
tion hunter might desire.
The parable of the Good Samaritan
furnished the schiptural basis for the
sermon. Who is ones neighbor, what
is christian love and the need of this
in dealing with ones neighbor made
up the splendid sermon which was
preached. Those who wanted really
to know what is wrong with Cordele
society heard this speaker say the
need of chistian love was the really
big vial thing. The sermon was a
care, feeling appeal that won a
place with the large congregation.
There was good music, the singing
of ehuruses and some of the old time
songs that made the music of the ser
vice enjoyable for all.

THE NEXT WAR.

"As conditions now exist, says General Bernhard,
in an article written for an American newspaper there
is danger that in one way another will withdraw
from our obligations Then new will be neces-
sity"
He explains that the Allies through the peace treaty
have sought to make it impossible for Germany wage
war in the future and the treaty twill achieve exactly the
contrary"
He finds that the clause obligating Germany to sur
render the men responsible for the and its crimes
absurd and bandly that "he who would pro
good to give up the kaiser and the leaders would
dig his own grave"
The only reproach the kaiser deserves, he says, is
"for having begun the war too late"
He pronOunces it "an utter mistake to believe that
the progress of humanity is possible in eternal peace"
He represents his country merely playing possum.
Possibly the German nation will for while content itself
with the position to which the late reegated it. but
it is grave error to believe that will be possible in the
long run.
He is certain "that the late conceals in itself

PROMISING DETOURS.

Detour" is word that has held much terror for the
automobile driver 1t means abandoning the highway
and going sometimes miles out of the way often over bad
roads and away from the beaten paths of road maps be-
fore returning to the highway farther on.
The statement that this season there are more detours
than ever before all the country might at first chill
the motorists joy in summer touring But after think
ing twice on the natter he should really rejoice
This sudden increase in the number of detours
means further increase in good roads, DetOurs are re-
qured In many places because and better road is
being constructed or because longnegeced faults are
being repaired All this detourng will be rewarded in
season or two by fine straghtaway roads over which
the autost may spin in safety and comfort
