"ECONOMIC EXHAUSTION."

THE FINANCIAL POSITION IN GERMANY

[BY A CORRESPONDENT OF THE GLOBE.)

Much has been talked in a vague way about the possibility of the end of the war coming about through the economic ex haustion" of Germany sooner than as the result of the pressure of the forces-of-the- Allies, but when we come to inquire what is meant by economic exhaustion opinion, seem to differ widely as to the point short of actual sturyation at which a highly organised nation like Germany can Bo longer carry on. Fortunately, we are not quite without information is to the inter ual conditions in Germany, in spite of the action of the Press Bureau and Cus toms authorities in preventing as for a they can the import of German news papers and other German literaturė Knowledge of the economic position of Germany is of importance not only to the British Government, but to every British business man who may be approached by Teutrals with offers to purchase goods which may be intended for the enemy bo chable resistance to be prolongod.

Just as the German military authoritise bad worked out their plans long before- band, so too bad German financiers for a year or more been planning the mobili- sation of Germen resources. When the Morocco crisis came about,, Berlin finance was found unready, France called in her credite and produced a most serious state of affairs in Berlin. This time matters were arranged differently; those to whom Berlin owed money called in vain, and the result was seen in the world-wide nature of the financial crisis which de- veloped some days before the actual declarations of war. German financial

plans, however, provided for the isola- tion of the nation with regard to outside transactions, so that chaos in other coun- tries did not matter. The Reichsbank, suspended payment of gold, met all ite obligations in bank notes, and discounted any amount of commercial bills (at the end of September the discounts" stood at £240,000,000 against £80,000,000 a year ago and the noto eirculation

225,000,000 against £125,000,000 a year ago). This enabled all who had commer- cial bills to turn them into money.

at

To help other traders and even to help those in actual need through unemploy ment special war banks were opened to lend upon securities, stocks of goods, and even household furniture, so that there might be no lack of money or, in othor words, eo that market values were not forced down by pressure to realise. To keep food prices from rising, maximum prices were established, and anyone who exceeded them or demanded gold instead of bank notes in payment was immedi ately forced to close his shop. The result of these additional credit facilities was that money continued to flow through its normal channels, and industries catering. for internal trades wont on as usual. When the 6 per cent, war loan cane long at 9 borrowing was so easy that money was available in huge sums to put into it. The German people as a whole, it must be remembered, have been misled into the idea that their cause is thoroughly just and that they are fighting a holy (1) war, se tint 5 per cent. at 971 with money easy to borrow and patriotism to help really made the loan a great success as far as subscriptions went. But the loan- only got back some of the notes which the Reichsbank had put out thus transferring to the Government the money already lent on the security of stocks and goods. Not a penny was raised outside the country, so that Germany is no better off as regards the actual resources on, which the has a claim.. The same result could have been secured by commandeering the corpmodities required and paying for them in bank "notes, but the method adopted, looks better in the eyes of the German public..

If the arrangement has mobilised the whole of the resources of the German public for war purposes, the question that will naturally be asked is What are its disadvantages? They do not show at first, but they are none the less disastrons in the long run. Already the first-fruits of the policy are being reaped after only ten weeks of war. They are visible in the depreciation of the gold value of This German bank notes by 6 per cent. means that any imports which a German merchant purchases from a neutral country cost him 106 marks in notes where before they only cost him 100. Similarly exports which before would have been sold for 103 marks will caly. fetch 94 marks, with the result that other nations can underself Germany. Thus Germany's external trade is certain to die away to nothing with consequent un employment already coal production has dropped to one-third of its former -voline. The pinch will come when the German public realises that it has mort- gaged everything it posscesce to the Government and that unless enormous in- demitice can be extorted from Belgium, France, and Great Britain to restore ita paper credit, every individual will be commercially ruined.

Then the whole nation will find that it has been sacrificed to militarism and that all its resources have been swallowed up to further militant ideals. The inevit able panic will follow, but it will not be a financial panic because there will be nothing more to Jos-it will be a revolu tion, and the sooner the German people see the inevitable in front of them the lees will be their material loss.

A HOUSFHOLD NECESSITY.

In the best regulated families the little ills of life will creep in. Some member of the family circle may occasionally suffer from Biliousness and Indigestion, and one or the other will from time to time exhibit the well-known symptoms of Constipation. From these little troublca moro serious complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, and a discoloured tongue are the index to a disordered stomach; and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent, By following such a course, the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be found quite unnecessary. That Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are the very best Family Medicine is vouched for by thousands of grateful men and women who speak from personal experience.

- Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are not simply a purgative medicine which forces the food out of the body, depriving the stomach of its nourishment and thus starving the system. They contain the essential properties that are temporarily lacking in the stomach through weakness, and complete the digestion and assimilation, and so restore the functions of the digestive organs by obtaining the maximum of nutriment from the food which sustains the body and assures good health.

Dr. Morse's INDIAN ROOT PILLS are an efficient, reliable, and safe remedy placed on the market at a price within the reach of all. The Pills being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take; and retain their full medicinal properties: They are packed in amber coloured bottics-not in cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes-and are thus always fresh and clean, impervious to moisture," unaffected by climatic conditions, and do not deteriorate by keeping us all liquid medicines do

They are a perfect Blood Purifier and

a positive and per- manent cure for Alliousness, Indi gestion, Constipą. tion, Beadaches, Saflow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples. Boils and Blotches, and for Female Ailments.
