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.
There are some Christmas goods
on Gilliam & Bisbee's snap table, that
are surely snaps.
