EXPENDITURES
OF GREAT WAR
STATISTICI AN SA VS G HUM AN V 1
WILL HAVE TO ASK STU
PENDOUS LOAN.

LONDON. April L—(By Mail) — |
Juggling stupendous figures to show
that Germany is in desperate financial
straits. Edmond Crammond, well
known British statistician, declared
here today that the Kaiser will seek
a gigantic foreign loan at the conclus
ion of peace.
“This means, in effect," said Cram
mond, “that Germany will repudiate
her internal war debt.
“Germany’s expenditures to date
amount to about $9,595,OfM),000 while j
her estimated national wealth in 1913
was about $75,000,000,000.
“Germany’s investments abroad
amount to $5,800,000,000 of which j
about $750,000,000 have been sold in j
the United States and the remainder
are unrealizable. Germany’s# colonies j
are gone; her shipping industry is ^
ruined.
“1 do not believe Germany is living
and fighting solely on what she is
producing. She is living on the fat
she has accumulated during the last
forty years.
“The decline in the exchange value
of the mark anti the failures which
are taking place among the large

banks, despite frantic efforts of the
government to keep the financial
machine going, point to the approach
of the greatest financial debacle the
world has ever seen.”
Turning to the British financial
problem, Crammond asserted that a
tariff for revenue purposes here is ab
solutely essential for the “preserva
tion of the balance of our economic
system.”
He points to Britain’s outlay, to
date—15,920,000,000 including the
gross expenditure and the loans to
Dominions, Allies and repayments to
the Bank of England, declaring:
“We overcome the financial diffi
culties of the first eighteen months of
war with astounding ease, but the
outlook for the coming financial year
gives cause for anxiety.”
Figuring in the newly established
Excess Profits Tax which he estimates
will bring in about $500,000,000,
Crammond says that if the national
income for the coming year should
only reach a sum as estimated for
the year ending March 1916, the gov
ernment’s financial deficiency at the
end of March 1917 will be about $4,
690,000,000, “which makes a tariff for
revenue imperative.”
If the war lasts until March 31,
1917, the statistician estimates that
the expenditures of the various allied
powers approximately will be:
Belgium . $ 2,500,000,000
France .'. 12,500,000,000
Great Britain ... 13,000,000,000
Italy . 2,500,000,000
Russia . 12,000,000,000
Servia and Monte
negro . 500,000,000
Total . $43,000,000,000
As a measure of exacting a penalty
on Germany for these expenditures,
Crammond, suggests that the allies
should pool their indemnities and pre

sent them in a lump to Germany, also,
that each allied power should under
take to impose:
“A war debt on all German and
Austrian manufacturers; a war debt
export on all exports or raw materials
to Germanic empires.”
In addition,” says Crammond, “the
maritime powers should impose sup
plementary war debts on all German
and Austrian shipping entering their
ports in all parts of the world.
“The proceeds from these duties
should be paid over by the allied
powers to the War Debt commission.”

DIVING FOR BODY
OF WM. CHRISTIE j
Shortly after 10 o’clock this morn*!
ing the gas boat Luo, formerly th«
property of Captain J. 0. Plunkett, 1
left tho Juneau docks with Diver C. ’
F. Stagger on board, with his appa
ratus and assistants, for the upper
reaches of the Gastineau channel.
Mr. Stagger has been diving this
afternoon in an endeavor to locate the |
body of William Christie, which is
thought to be lying in a deep hole
near the Douglas shore of the chan
nel, about a mile and a half north
of Juneau.
Boats which dragged the channel
with grappling hooks nearly all win
ter, several times hooked something
which gave indications of being the j
heavily weighted remains of some j
person, but they were unable to bring
the object to the surface with the
apparatus possessed. The diver has
been secured by the government and
a full search will be made.
The spot where tho diver is work-1
' ing is the exact place where several
witnesses have testified the boat of
Krause was anchored during the late
afternoon and night of October 30th,
1015, which is the date of the disap
pearance of Christie.
At the time of going to press the
Lue was still anchored over the spot
and the diver was still working on the
bottom of the channel.—Empire.
