FRANCE HAS 100000

the utilization of the remaining seven

source OF power appear clearly when
II is recalled that Germany has only
l,300, 900 horsepower In hydraulic re-
sources, that coal costs three times as
much as 1t did before the war, and
that the French water power CORE
spends to a total annual coal consump-
tion Of serenity eight million tons
eighteen millions more than France
consumed annually before the war,
France requires twenty million tons
Of coal yearly In excess of her own
production, at It's maximum. At the
present cost, the purchase of such a
quantity means the payment abroad Of
a billion two hundred million francs
annually, materially a~ggravating the
situation of French exchange.
The programs of utilization of the
unimproved water power comprises the
manufacture of nitrate fertilizers so
much needed to increase agricultural
production In France.

RUSSIA IS PLING UP
ENORMOUS DAILY DEBT

LONDON, Oct. 14.-Interest on Rus
sia's state liabilities today amounts an
nually to approximately $643, SOC, 900, ac-
cording to- a statement issued from
Omsk by the minister of finance Of the
Kolchak government.
In 1914 the national debt was $780,
900, 900 rubles, the statement says. In
ternal wartime loans aggregated 49,
600, 900, 900 rubles, while loans contract
ed abroad amounted to 5000, 000, 900 ru-
bles, thus bringing the debt to a total
of about so, 600, 000, 900 rubles. About
so, 000, 900 rubles yearl ywould be re-
qulred for the amortisation of this tre-
mendous sum.
The statement points u the fact
that the figures quoted in ruhles rep
resent fictitious values as the foreign
loans were issued abroad In English,
American, French, Japanese and italian
%currencies which cannot be converted
into rubles at the old gold rate of ex-
change.
Whereas France, in pre-war days,
