Funny when you think of it that thinking mens and women will play 'Blind Man's Buff' with their money. You don't HAVE to shop blindfolded unless you want to. The Out-of-Town Houses started the Big Game of "Blind Man's Buff." But, it's a dangerous game for US to play in OUR TOWN, It isn't a fair game. It isn't Germany's Sir George Paish, in a recent issue | of the New York World, | strates how enormously the odds are | in favor of Great Britain and against | | Germany from the standpoint of finance, The British people, he | says, can easily furnish their gov- | ernment with $5,000,000,000 a year | for war expenditure without en- | trenching upon their capital. He! | estiniates that for the second year of | the war the Imperial Government | | will be called upon to find that | | amount, including about $1,000,000,- | 000 for her alles and possessions. | { During the first year of war Brit. | ish imports for consumption rose to | { approximately $3,400,000,000, put in | addition to this the government im- | ported war munitions and supplies, | | not shown in the- trade returns, to | | the value of $500,000,000, and gold | {to the value of $200,000,000. These | were paid for by exports of goods, | profits on shipping, insurance and other services, interest on foreign in- { vestments' and liquidation of Ameri- | can securities.

There is uni- versal employment at high wages, and wherg @conomy is practised it is voluntary nd for the purpose of aid. ing the government. From the stand- point of comfort and wealth, Great Britain, according to Sir George, has not felt the war at all. Her ocean tonnage is larger than it was a year ago, and her argosies of commerce are found on every sea, The income of the Uerman peo- ple is at least 25 per cent. less than it was a year ago, and the country is bound to grow poorer instead of rich €r as the war proceeds. Yet it is premature to bank upon a financial collapse. ' The German mark is at a discount-of 15 per cent; but the rate against Russia is even more unfavor- able. The Reichsbank has largely increased itse reserve of gold since the war commenced, but not at all in proportion to the increase in note issues and deposits.
