BULGARIA FACING
FINANCIAL CRISIS
AS A WAR RESULT

Sofia, Bulgaria is fac
ing a financial crisis, it is assert
ed. The war cost the country over
81 500, 000, 900 while its estimated
wealth is only $2,200,000, 900 The
national debt before the war was
$160, 900, 900
Of the national debt as it now
stands Bulgaria owes to Germany
$500, 900, 900 which was advanced in
iHstallments of ten millions. but last
winter Germany discontinued this
practice, and demanded payment
for munitions in cash. Germany,
evidently was not in the business of
helping its allies for nothing. as the
prices charged Bulgaria for gas
masks clearly indicate. For each
mask 1t charged $16 and a sheep
skin, as compared with the cost Of
a similar article for the United
States army in England of $3.50.
Financial experts agree that the
solvency of the country can only be
preserved by the presentation Of
counter claims against Germany.
Even If Bulgaria's total indebted
ness to Germany is outWeighed by
BuIgaTia's counter claims, Oppres-
sive taxes must be imposed for a
decade or two In order to meet the
remaining debt. say Bulgarians.
The state revenues before the last
three wars averaged $50. 900, 900 per
annun Recent taxation added $40
10000 to this sum. To fill the gap
between what is possible to raise
by taxation and the needs of the ma
ton It is now proposed TO confis-
cate wealth Illegally obtained in
addition to drastic taxation of war
profits.
Under Germany's tutelage the fin
anciaI policy maintained by Bull
garia san kthe country deeper and
deeper every year in debt. 1t was
the only belIigerent country which
issues no internal loan, but con-
tented itself with printing paper
money to the total of almost $780,
600 900, at the normal rate of ex-
change. AS a result Bulgaria's cur
rency has deprecated more than
oue-half. while the accumulation of
private wealth ran parallel to the
rapidly mounting state debt More
than eighty banks were f1oated hav-
ing a total capitalization of nearly
one hundred millions.
Bulgaria's sole negotiable article
of export is tobacco, and this she
must use in the worlds markets in
exchange for food. clothing. cotton, !
oils, medicine. etc At present there
are in the country the crops of the
past two years, valued at about

Especial to The Argus. }

Geneseo, March Hugh Arm
strong, for 80 years a resident Of
Henry county ate a light supper

room to rest, telling his wife that he
did not feel well. A few minutes

WOMEN BARRED
ON JUDGE WORK
City Attorney Issues Statement
Showing Men Only Can Serve
On Election Jobs.

Women are not qualified to vote
for the Office of police magistrate
and are not eligible to serve as
officials at a magistrate election,
James Johnston, Moline city attor
ney, declared in a written state
ment submitted to Mayor Clarence
Trevor today.
Moline women appointed by the
city to serve as election officials
at the primaries on Tuesday and
at the election on April Is must
give up hopes of being allowed to
serve. The city clerk today notified
the women who had been appoint
ed that circumstances force the
city to appoint men in their places.
The male officials have been noti-
fed that it is their place to name
successors to the women.
Because the women election off
cials have already completed a
large share Of their work. the men
who succeed them viii be asked
by the city to share a part of the
salaries allowed with their prede-
cessors, the city officials believing
that the women should be remun-
Grated for what they have done.

CHEER AS TRAIN
DRAWS NEAR, BUT
NO BOYS APPEAR

Hundreds of Moline residents
gathered at the Burlington depot
in Moline last night to welcome
home boys who have been serving
as a part of the Fifty-fourth am
munition train The train drew
within a few blocks of the depot
and the crowd began 10 cheer to
greet the returning lads.
An almost empty train pulled
into the depot. The people had
been hoaxed 1t was spread
broadcast yesterday that the Fifty
fourth ammunition train lads were
to arrive home last night Even
some newspapers carried the re
port, so the mothers and other rel
atives and friends of the Moline
fighters were on hand to welcome
home their heroes.
But everybody seemed to take it
good naturally and left the depot
contented over the fact that their
boys were going to get home soon
anyway. 1t was an unavoidable
mistake, the newspapers that car
ried the STORY" explain, and they
blame it on the poor compositor.
Latest reports are to the effect
that the majority of the Moline
and Rock Island members of the
Fifty-fourth train will arrive home
Monday night, but no definite con-
firmation of this report can be Sc
cured.

GARDEN DAY PLANNED.

"a Sixth of April Garden Day.
as a new national holiday with the
millions of soldiers of the soil
marching to the burrows of free
DOM. every year was advocated in
Chicago by Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the national war gar
den commission, in a speech before
the School Garden Association of
with the National uperirtendents
association.
Gould there be anything more
inspiring" said Mr.. Pack, than
to have a day set aside in the
spring on which all of us shall get
out of doors and into the sunshine
for the first garden planting of the
year? On the last Sunday in
March we will have an extra hour
of daylight which will mean mi
lions of dollars in increased home
food production Think what it
would mean every year # on the
first Wednesday in April or on
April 6. the day we declared war.
the millions of members of the
garden army marched out into the
burrows of freedom in the war for
food?
I'm the great garden army there
is the making of the better and
healthier citiZen-the creation of
longing for a bit of land for the
individual-the creation Of the de-
sire for a home. With tnat spirit
implanted in those who will come
after US we will have to set this
nation upon a rock that none car
shake-the great American home
By all means let us mark this con-
tinued building for better citizen
ship with a national holiday as a
sign to the world that the frontiers
of freedom will be maintained"
