MAY 10, 1917 HUGE INDEMNITY IS DEMANDED FOR WAR 9100,000,000,000 Estimated as Dam age Which Will Be Done to Allies Vp to End of July. (United Press Staff Correspondent) By W. V. Forrest, PARIS, May 10. By the end of - July, 1917, Germany will have in curred liability to the Allies for an after-the-war Indemnity of one hun dred and sixty thousand million dol lars. This figure comes from the pen of Jean Finot, well known French edit pr, author and statistician, writing In the current number of La Revue, of which he is editor. "A peace of a hundred years," is the title of the article. This is only possible, the author argues by forc ing Germany to purge herself of fu ture militarism. The remedy the only remedy he points out, is an "installment indemnity" to the Allies from Germany of about -two billion four hundred million dollars a year. "While it appears that such a ser ies of indemnities would work ruin to Germany, the contrary is the case," the author writes. "Germany would be forced to abandon her annual gigantic military budget of several hundred millions of dollars for her fleet and armies. This element alone would radically transform Germany. Millions of .would-be soldiers would be thrown into useful occupations." , Touching on Allied war losses which will figure in a future indem nity, the statistician says that at the end of 1914 alone the Allies counted their debts at about thirty-five thous and millions.-' He compares this to the cost of the American Civil war, which was about seven billion dollars. He declares that France, England and Italy alone are spending about two billion a month. TheBe are ex penses and do not Include devastated provinces, deportations and ruin of civilian populations. He mentions 20,000,000 allied soldiers in arms at an average upkeep of $4 a day; the prodigious expenditure for mu nitlons, with single shells costing $3000; added to the expense of the allied fleets and mercantile shipping losses from German submarines.

"Germany may lose tho war, not through her arms, but through the lack of fats in her food supply," according to Mary Green, author of "Bottcr Meals for Less Money," who adds that "heretofore, thousands of tons of valuable fats hove gone down the American sink or into the garbage can." "Save tho fats," is Mnry Green's slogan, now that we must feed not only ourselves, but nlso our allies. "All drippings from roasts nnd fat from boiled meats should bo care fully strained and saved," she de clares, "for they can bo used In many recipes, including those from cook ies, cakes, meat sauces and soups."
