NOT A COPPER

This emphasis on war indemnity cause Americans to smile, because, while realising the Kaiser's dilemma, the ides that Germany will succeed in her finan- ciai hold up'

plans is scouted, Re gardless of any other consideration, the Enrepoan nations, as their tenacity is viewed in America, would fight to com- plote exhaustion before giving the Germans a coppor. Now, the Kaiser wants to avoid a wer to exhaustion even more than ho Want to collect an indemnity. Germany, more than other nation, knows from the effects of the Thirty Years War what a conflict fought to exhaustion really means. Besides this, the rivalries of the Hohenzo lera ulers to surpass the records of their ancestors are such that America expects the Kaiser to call a halt before he works utter destruction on this people.

The circumstances being such, there fore, that Germany will not be able to exact an indemnity, Americans are of the opicion that it will be necessary for the Kaiser to find an entirely new method of paying for the war. When the German soldiers return home from the trenches without an indemnity it is believed that

AMERICAN RESENTMENT AGAINST GERMANY.

Even in Washington the neutrality delu- aion is fast being dispelled. On every hand one now hears frequently expressions of regret, not to say disappointment, that the United States has not entered the great world-war. The reason for this new growth of interest is anxiety in regard to the Old World's inte. It is political rather than economic, says The Timer cor- respondent. Rich beyond compare in national resources, unburdened by debt, and with vast measure of human energy, at the beginning of the war the Ameritan people took little thought of their excep fional good fortune. coffers began to overflow with surprising Not until their.

Among the thoughtful it is no in neutral or can afford to be ; at heart longer pretended that the United States the great majority are in sympathy the Allies, and have been from the begin sing. Until recently, however, the masses were content to enjoy their prosperity in quiescence, and permit the Government and the leading American publications to speak for thea.
