Our War Debt Equals Only Eight
Per Cent of Our Total Wealth

The fellow who is inclined to
think that the American people
are being burdened by war debt
will find consolation in figures re-
Gently compiled showing a compa-
rison between our national debt
and that of other European pow
ers.
The gross debt of the United
States on August ], 1914, was One
Billion Dollars. Exclusive OF any
debts that may be created this
year, our indebtedness, Oh Janua-
ry first was Twenty-one Billions.
During the same period Great
Britain's debt jumped from three
and half billions to Forty Bill
lions! Frauce increased hers from
six and a half to Thirty Billions!
Every one of the extente nations
owed more than we did in 1914
and all except Italy have gone
deeper since that time.
The gross debt of the Teutonic
nations, at the beginning of the
war, was Eight Billion Nine Hun
bred Millions. 1t has increased to
Sixty-four Billions!
Relatively to national wealth,
Great Britain's debt increased dur
ing the war, from four to forty
four per cent. Germany's went
from six to fifty per cent!
frances debt equals forty five
per cent mortgage on her total
wealth; Austria Hungary sixty per
cent. while that of the United
States represents only eight per
cent!

GOMPERS WON'T
 INTERFERE WlTH
 PLANS OF LABOR
Labor Chief, However, Declines to Comment on Present
 Situation.

New York, Aug. 26.-Declining to discuss current labor problems in detail on the ground that he had not had time to familiarize himself with them during his absence abroad, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor who arrived here from France today, said that he wished to make plain that he ''did not come home to interfere with the program of labor butato help my fellow laborers"
 Mr. Gompers who has been attend ing the sessions of the international trade unions congress at Amsterdam declared that "the employers of labor have not yet learned that the time is past when they are com plete monarchs of all they survey"
 Questioned by reporters, the labor leader begged to be excused from commenting on the presidents state ment on the merits of the railroad shopmen's demands, the actors strike, the Plumb plan for the nationaliza- tion of railroads and the proposed steel workers strike on the ground that he had not had time to study them. He admitted, however, that urgent telegrams from Washington whose source he would not divulge prompted him to hasten his return home by at least week.
 MT. Gompers spoke encouragingly of the work of the Amsterdam con- gress and said that he was convinced the leaders had not fulfilled any of the promises by which they forced themselves into power.
 He declared ample evidence had been presented at the trades congress to show the Germans were still un- repentant.
 Labor's Progress.
 Tonight Mir. Gompers issued a statement on the "progress>o of labor" at the international trade union con- gress convention in which he said that the congress flor the first time approximates the democratic concep- tion of genuine internationalism."
 "The new organization is already something more than a mere frame work" Mir. Gompers said. Ut has already taken a firm and unmistak- able attitude on what is perhaps the gravest problem of this crit'r~' hour lis organized labor to be inveigled into the revolutionary movements that have been showing their heads in every country of Europe as re- suit of the war"
 Alluding to the overwhelming de- feat by the congress of "a resolution calling for organized labor's support of soviet revolutions, MT. Gompers continued
 "The defeat of this proposition means the definite and final repudia- tion by the organized labor of Flu rope and America not only of bolshe- vism, but of the whole, effort to in- volve labor unions in international revolutionary movements of any kind. It is true that the majority of the de- legates profess more or less social istic doctrines, but they have finally and definitely repudiated the persis tent and ceaseless efforts. of the so- cialist parties to utilize ,:the unions for revolutionary cataclysm."
