OTTOMAN EMPIRE
WAR DEBT SMALL
Say Debt Has In
creased Less Than Any
Other Nation.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. s.
The war debt of the Ottoman empire
is said by experts to have increased
less than that of any other nation.
Her bonded Indebtedness was in
creased by only one new loan of
about $50, 600. and adding TO
this other increases in obligations

and advances from Austria and Ger
many, her war expenses ran to only
$500. OOO,O 900. Consequently. allow
ing for various offsets. her postwar
Indebtedness amounts TO about ST.
600, 100000.
Comparison OF Debts.
This would make it appear that
Turkey ran the war on a shoe
string financially, as compared to
Great Britain with her $4,000. 600,
600 war debt, or France with $780,
coo 100000. and the United States
with S25. 600, 600 600 and Italy with
possibly $4,000, 100000. 1t will be
recalled that on paper the Ottoman
empire modified nearly 1000 900
men, yet she escaped with something
like the war expenses of a country
like little Rumania. or Bulgaria.
The record of the Turkish war in
debtedness is unique The empire
met war costs by acquisitions and
by printing in Germany 5000, 900
Turkish paper pounds. or normally
about $6SO,OOO,OOO. but this. accord
ing 10 experts. cannot be consider

That opposition TO acceptance Of
the presidents plan developed soon
after the miners session convened
was evidenced by scraps of the
speeches which could be heard out
side the hall in which the meeting
was being held in local hotel. The
argument during the afternoon was
very heated and clearly indicated
that the attitude Of some of the dele

decision in favor Of ending the

Sec'y of Labor W. r. Wilson, urging
the miners 20 accept the new pro-
posal and a memorandum agreed
