There Ilea the case against Germany that It la held in sub jection by an irresponsible govern ment that knowa no law and no re straint exetpt superior force, and to that test it challenges the world in devastating war and Immeasur able destruction of life and property. " "Over 50,000,000 men are under arm in Europe, whose energies have teen turned from production to destruction. Over 12,000,000 men !havc been killed or permanently injured since the war began, the kilcd alond numliering; jove 7,000,0W. Over $100,000,000,000 r have already been expended by the nations' at war and at present rate of rising expenditure the cost will exceed 150,000,000,000 when the end of the fourth year W reached next' August. ''When it in remembered that for every man at the front from threej to Jive are required at the jrear.for.his support, it follows that , between 150,000,000 and 200,000,000 men have been withdrawn from the normal channels of production into the abnormal, Noj wonder that the world is facing a serious economic famine, not only jn food "and clothing, but also in the innumerable materials required for human comfort and support.! The loss in life and money only partly , measures the colossal bill for damages, which will be a crushing burden for generations. Such a bill must also include the setback ' to moral and spiritual forces, the inheritance of bitterness, the detri mental effects upon art, literature,' science, education and all the ,,. varied social and political activities which are part of our civiliza tion. These are losses that will leave their impress upon the nations for many future decades. The material losses such as destruction of factories, railroads, ships, cities, etc., though. less important than those just, mentioned, are visible and more readily offset by new energies and resources that will promptly develop with the advent of peace. "The huge cost of this war can be appreciated when it is con , sidered that the six great wars preceding the Russo-Japanese, the Uocr,Jthe Franco-Prussian, the American Civil "War; the Crimean and the Nspolconic wann-cost abou $23,000,000,000, as against $150, 000,000,000, the estimate of this war up tVndxt August. Great Britain will then have spent $34,000,000;o0, including $0,000,000,000 in loans to : Allies and good authorities estimate that in theseithree years the warring powers will h$vo quadrupled heir debts, jthc interest on which already amounts to $5,000,000,000." " ,? , The above quoted words are from the Annual Review of Henry Clews, the great Wall Street authority. "It woufd seem as if such burden would break he back of any nation," continues Mr. Clews, "yet the tremendous development of resources, and the greatj potential recuperative power of the various nations afford good basis for the belief that recovery will be more rapid than expected." ' - J -' - - Mr. Clews predicts: "This country will recover with a bound when peace comes, and the gain from our exports an I newly opened markets will largely: offset present losses. Great I ritain will cer tainly recuperate rapidly, as she has always done tfter each war. A Germany will make tremendous efforts at .recovery,: though handi capped by impaired finances and the break up of herlforeign trade." "Prance, too," says Mr. Clews, "will also show gfeat resiliency." Mr. Clews goes on at' great length to show how quickly the United states lias become the banker-nation ; how fast we are taking th$ second place as a mantimc power how we have invested $.320,000,000 in new chemical work; how 'our foreign trade hasf expanded at a tremendous pacer how, in short, our country has taken a world lead in the great family of nations, and will keep it, with! benefit to our- selves anu the whole earth. I ; TIIK OUfXT CZKItXIN KKlLV. To call Count Czernln's reply an acceptance of the Russian. peace terms Is misleading in the extreme. It is truegthat he declares the cen tral powers ready" "to conclude a general peace without forcible an nexations and indemnities,'' bat ha has Indorsed that principle before. In fact, as has often- been pointed out, the central powers were quick to see that this formula, on which Russia had set its heart, could by a little manipulation be turned - to their advantage. They have been collecting Indemnities In advance, while to secure damages for even tho most outrageous wrongs the al lies would have to continue the war. While even to reclaim Alsace-Lorraine and the unredeemed Italian territories' the allies roust be pre pared for I treat further sacrifices, the, central powers have been so busily reorganizing the conquered territory long held by their armies that It Is a question whether their essential alms could not be attained without "forcible annexations." Ily these terms their own integrity would be guaranteed, as we!! as their Immunity from damages, and tho return of German colonies would be stipulated In advance, v.? . , Even so enigmatic acceptalnce of the "basic principles' proposed by Kussla is fnrthcr limited by the pro viso that It does not bold good un less 'all the belligerents enter the con f erence. Li' -: - j . Wlhere Belgium woiild come out no one can possibly tell after read ing the Crernln reply. The western powers have never failed to demand as an Indispensable condition of peace that Belgium not only fee fully restored politically and territorially but also that she have reparation to the full for her economic and civic devastation. , What Germany want IS to get the entente powers and th? United States Into a peace confer ence where Belgium can be shuffled up with all the; other cards the final deal depending on the dexter ity, of theVcleverest diplomatic card I sharp at the table. - t . m . .1 Tne count uxernm leiier win probably bring out a declaration of war aims from the nations fight ing for democracy; and the air will be . somewhat cleared, perhaps.
