GERMANYOWES ALLIES SUM OF $7,500,000,000 Loniion Banker Figures Out Hun War Debt, If Restitution Is Made TWO BILLION TO FRANCE London. Dec. l(i.— (Corres]onueiicc The Associated Press)—One Lon iion banker estimates that Germany will hnvci to pay to the allies for repar ation and restitution about $7,500,000. (HjO. Calculated on a flye per cent basis, with a 1 per cent sinking fund this would mean an annual charge on the German revenue of $450,000,000. tie says there can be no question ot Germany's alfility to meet this demand. It is impossible, lie says, discussing the subject in a newspaper article, to arrive at any approximated ligure as to damages and robberies in the in vaded teritory. "For Belgium," the article continues, "I would put the amount of indemnity at J}1,400,000,000 of which sum levies on Belgian towns account for something like $500,000, 000. I know of another estimate for Belgium which is as high as $2,000, 000,000, and a Belgian of some author ity estimates the amount at $S00, 000,000." With regard to France he says one cannot reckon the loss suffered, "but considering that the war has been waged for the most part on French territory,^uiul in the center of her in dustrial area, we may put the ligure at $2,000,000,000." Italy's damage is computed at $150, 000,000. The same amount is set as Itouniania's bill, including the loss of quantities of foodstuffs and damage to oil wells anty other property. JJo thinks that $50,000,000 would cover Serbia's loss, and a like sum probably would reimburse Kngland for daihnges caused by air raids and bombardments. Shipping losses are then discussed. "I estimate." lie says, "the loss Itegarding Germany's: finances, he calls attention to the last prewar bud get presented to the Ifeich^ng, which showed a revenue of $875,000 000. The estimate for the army was $292,500, 00O, and for the navy "$107,500,000— total $400,000,000. "Eliminating the expenditure for armaments," the article goes on, "this would ffllow Germany to pay approx imately the interest and sinking fund on the $7,500,000,000 compensation, leaving the balance of revenue, what ever it might be, to meet the cost of conducting the empire and paying the interest, on her loans, which amounted early in the present year to $27,000, 00.000, a sum which has, of course, been substantially increased since." In order to meet the allies' bill of damages, the writer says, "it may be that Germany would have to suspend payment of interest on her own war loans—I don't say she would repudiate this obligation." CONDENSED MILK FOR LITTLE SICILIANS The problem of caring for the babies of Sicily was one which the Red Cross workers were almost at a loss to solve until the shipment of sweetened, con densed mill? came to their rescufe. A can of condensed milk would last baby a week, for one spoonful, put In a cup of boiling water, was sufficient .for a feeding, and so, to many a Sicilian family the terms "America" and "con densed milk" will always be synony mous. Last February a list of fifty families of Italian soldiers was given to the Red Cross workers in Italy. The fam ilies were carefully investigated and registered and the milk was given to ..them for the little children, especially the babies. Mothers came for the cans and were grateful beyond expression. But with ^he coming of warm •weather it was necessary to give out the. milk daii^. ap.jL wguL'1 not Keep INSTANTLY RELIEVED Wl flSTHMADOR on Doner REFUNDED ASKANT MNBST per 'Enterprise association at the ./ GENUINE Iii The 6f ships iu figures of tonnage at nine lnHlion, and. taking the average value of .$200 a ton. this would ligure out at $1,800, 000,000.

"I have heard an estimate which places the total of the bill against Germany at $10,000,000,000 which, like my own calculation. Is of course to some extent necessarily hypothetical. Hut I would put the figure myself at $7,500,000,000. which does- not, of course, include any part of the cost of the war."
