England's Resuorces. Philadelphia Ledger: England's resources in money seem inexhausti ble. She has already loaned $215, 000,000 to her allies and friends for war purposes; $50,000,000 to Bel gium, $4,000;000 to Servia, $8,000, 000 to Greece, besides large cash ad vances to Canada, South Africa, Aus tralia and New Zealand. These loanB are without interest so long as hos tilities continue. When the Euro pean nations took up arms against Napoleon England pursued the same policy. She financed country after country until the menace of a one nation tyranny was banished. There is no doubt that Great Britain Is in a healthy financial condition and bet ter able to stand the drain and strain of a long war than any other power. And her financiers prophesy that when peace comes Bhe will be In even better condition than when the strug gle first began.
