State St. Opposite Huston's Bostonian and Florsheim Shoes (NEW SPRING STYLES) LONDON STATIST SAYS UNITED STATES IS GREAT NAVAL POWER "The condition of financial prepared- ness in which the nation finds itself gives confidence to the business world," says the Bache Review. "This is reflected in the calm records of the stock exchange." "In an article on America's war ef- ficiency the London Statist reviews the results which might ensue if the Un- ited States entered war," continues the Review. "After calling attention to the fact that this country is the producer of a vast amount of materials needed in war, it rates this country as a great naval power which has been adding considerably to the number of her ships and will be able to put a con- siderable force to sea. If the Amer- ican naval forces are added to those of the Entente the consequences will be very serious to the Central Pow- ers." Result of British War Loan Out of $5,000,000,000 asked for in the British war loan, only $110000,000 were classified under tax exemption. This might be ascribed to patriotism. At any rate, the new British war loan with its stupendous totals to which nearly one-fifth of all the individuals in the entire nation contributed, marks the determination of a great people to win the war. Debts of Warring Nations The war debt of the Entente has reached the enormous figure of $53,- 700,000,000, an increase of $36,300,000,- 000 since the month of August, 1914. The debt of the Teutonic forces is smaller, being $26,400,000,000, with an increase of $17,800,000,000 since the war started. Adding up the totals the war debt of all the belligerents is $80,100,000,000. Dvidends for Much Interest and dividend disbursements for March this year are the largest ever distributed at this period. They total $182,000,000, compared with $154,400,000 for a year ago. The ini- crease in amounts paid out by indus- trials is $20,000,000. Railroads have increased their disbursements only about $1,000,000. In addition, 24 com- panies are paying larger or extra div- idends this March as* compared with last. Market Situation Nothwithstanding the grave interna- tional situation, stocks are not for sale. Owners have concluded that they, are worth keeping at present prices. Good securities are worth the prices asked for them and war will not make them worth less. War will create add- ed demand and thus raise prices. DARTMOUTH STUDENTS VOTE ON NATIONAL CRISIS QUESTIONS Consider Proper Stand in Present Sit- uation of the United States Hanover, N.
