PARIS, Krance, Sept. 2C. When
tho war Is over, this loor old world
will be like a man that steps from a
llKlited room Into a pitch black nlKht.
About all It will know for certain
J is that the road ts new, the nlKht
dark and trouble menadnK.
In lour capitals of Kurore now I
" have talked wic! all klntn of men
that otwht to know journalists,
government offli-era, financiers and
i I.usIiiosh men. I tan assure you pos
itively that whatever anybody may
pretend, practically nobody looks
. with awe and anxiety upou the things
ahead of us.
Old Sytsnms In Go.
14 All such meu anre that assuredly
"we ore to have new und strange ex-
perloncos. Systems and methods we
i thought established forever are to
' crumple down and disappear! Things
',' we have called Impossible will take
n their places. All the changes the
0 race has recorded will be outclassed
'i by these.
As to politics and government, the
j best, observers are of one mind that
't we shall havo cither a wonderful
l'lungo hack toward old-stvle abso
lutism or a wonderful Btrldo forward
J to n new and higher kind of democ-
r.icy. That Is to say, in principle,
-, Ither kings ovorywhere or kings no
1 where.
In tho way of trade, commerce, In
t dustry dally affairs, there will be
I either a new and very different way
nf doinK business, or the vast body
' ct workers will be forced to condl
' tions of toil and living worse than
nnytulng this earth has known since
'1 the era of serfdom centuries ago!
So far as anyone has been able to
: see, there Is nothing between these
: two.
This happens not to bo a surmise
I or prophecy; It is mathematical ccr-
l talnty! "

In two years and five months! It Is
4" times the debt of the Fnitcd Stales
t the close of tho civil war.
So far as war cost is concerned, we
li'oy be sure that will go until next
July, anyway. Tho most hopeful op
timist cannot see a truce before ,lan
ury 1, and military expenditures on
' a great scale will continue lor six
months utter we get to a truce.
Hy that tlmo the total debts will
exceed f luO.OOO.ooti.OoO, or more
than three times their amount when
the war started. In every country
, Sh national debt and in some coun
tries the Interest thereon will exceed
the money in thai country. In some

RAIDS OFF U. S.
PARIS, Oct. 10. I'nder the heads
of "blackmail" and "defiance" the
morning papers print In prominent
position every scrap of news obtain
able nbout the submarine campaign
on tho American coast, accompanied
by plentiful comment.
The general sentiment of tho press
is that Germany Ib challenging tho
United States with a comlctlon that
the challenge will not be taken op
and that neutrals must sec today that
they acted unwisely in not "nipping
tne submarine warfare on commerce
in tne bud." The newspapers express
the opinion that the submarine cam
paign off the coast Is the last touch to
a situation which is becoming impos
sible owing to the sinking of Scandi
navian and other neutral ships. They
declare that neutrals must feel bound
to act as the navigation of the whole
world is affected.
The Gaulois says:
"Germany is convinced that by ex
tending the field of assassinations to
American waters she will bring a
peace movement in the United States.
She imagines that American mer
chants and the big trusts, seeing their
overseas trade paralyzed will demand
that Washington intervene for peace
or force (ireat Hrltain to loosen the
blockade. Merlin believes that with
the elections approaching President
Wilson will give way."
