The officers of the Casper chapter have met with such splendid results in finding “adopters” | for the first hundred children that t LONDON, Dec, 13.—(Corre- spondence to The Associated Press.) —One London banker estimates that Germany will have to pay to the al- lies for reparation and_ restitution about $7,500,000,090. Calculated on a five percent basis, with a one per- cent sinking fund, this would mean an annual charge on the German revenue of $450,000,000. He says fhere can be no question of Ger- many’s ability to meet this demand. It is impossible, he says, discuss- ing the subject in a newspaper arti- cle, to arrive at any approximate} figure as to damages and robberies in the invaded territory. ‘For Bel- gium,” the article continues, “I would put the amount of indemnity at $1,400,000,000 of which sum levies on Belg 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 authority es- timates the amount at $800,000,000.” 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, and in the center of her) industrial area, we may put the fig-| ure at $2,000,000,000.” Italy’s damage is computed at $150,000,000. The same amount is set as Rumania’s bill, including the loss of quantities of foodstuffs and damage to oil wells and other prop- erty. He thinks that $50,000,000 would cover Serbia’s loss, and a like sum probably would reimburse Eng- land for damages caused by air raids | and bombardments. | Shipping losses are then discussed. “I estimate,” he says, “the loss of| ships in figures of tonnage at nine million, and, taking the secre value of $200 a ton, this would *fig- | ure out at $1,800,000,000. adding the total value of cargoes at, say, $900,000,000, we have the total of $2,700,000,000 for Great’ Britain alone. The shipping losses of the al- lies I estimate at $500,000,000. “T 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 hypothe- | tical. But I would put the figure my- self at $7,500,000,000, which does not, of course, include any part of the cost of the war. Regarding Germany’s finances, he calls attention to the last pre-war budget presented to the Reichstag, which showed a revenue of $875- 000,000. The estimate for the army was $292,500,000 and for the navy $107,500,000—total $400,000,000. “Eliminating the expenditure for armaments,” the article goes on, “this would allow Germany to pay approximately the interest and sink-- |their families. Ny was deemed expedient to have an- other hundred @n hand when the re--| quests came to them for children. All of the children to be adopted in Natrona county are from the Prov- ince of Vendee, a small seacoast di- vision of France that is about one. half the size of Natrona county. While the country in which they live has not been the scene of active fighting, it has furnished thousands of fighting Frenchmen, many of whom never came back to care for With the aid that the ‘rench government is extending the $36.50 given by those who adopt a child will furnish one child with food, clothing and warmth for one year. The school children are interested in the adopting of a child for each school, while the teachers of the Cas- per schools will adopt one child. Al- most every lodge and club in the city has pledged the required amount to provide for at least one child for one year. This evening at the Iris theater, Manager Sample will allow the With The Colors Club, a group of patriotic young girls to sell the attractive and unique post cards which the Casper chapter has been furnished, the pro- ceeds to be used to benefit the French children. It is not necessary to wait until a member of the organization calls and requests you to be an “adopter by heck made out to the Fatherless Children of France” and sent to Mrs. A. J. Cunningham, the chairman of the Casper chapter, or to Mrs. Oliver G. Johnson, secretary, will receive prompt attention.
