MIGHTIEST DEAL IN HISTORY Exceeds Great Britain’s Last One, Which Attracted Much Attention All Over the World. Berlin. — The German war loan .raised September 21 is the largest financial operation in the world's his tory, said Dr. Karl Helfferich, secre tary of the imperial treasury, to the Associated Press. With a total of twelve billion marks ($3,000,000,000) and some small sums not yet reported, the secretary said it exceeds Great Britain's last loan, which attracted much attention all over the world as an unprecedented piece of financier ing. “The present loan," Dr. Helffer ich continued, “enables the govern ment to liquidate treasury bills taken over by the Reichsbank and other banks, provides Germany with money for the winter campaign and renders unnecessary the raising of another loan before March. England hitherto has raised $4,002,500,000 and Ger many $0,250,000,000 in long term loans, whereas England's war expen ditures up to the present time are hardly less than Germany's and soon will exceed Germany's for England is now spending nearly £5,000,000 ($25,00)1,0001 daily against Germany’s not much above £3,000,000 ($15, 000,000). That means that Germany is spending 25 cents per capita daily and England 55 cents. I (Joubt there, lore, whether England’s financiers possess confidence that their re sources will outlast ours. Everything said abroad about Germany putting cn pressure and using force to secure subscriptions to the loan is pure in vention. We appealed solely on the financial power and patriotism of our fellow citizens. Our success must open the eyes of the world to a recog nition of how strong is Germany’s financial power and how strong its will.” I)r. Helfferich asserted that Ger many was financially able to continue the war indefinitely. Her people, he said, were earning higher wages and saving more money than in peace times. The country was supplying its own needs and buying little abroad and making no debts to foreign coun tries. U. S. Soldier Killed.
