Mr. Pauline informed the House
that he had visited the Seattle

seen for himself the quality of its

on to cite a reférence to British

for several steamers to call at

GERMANS ARE

Accused Men Leaving for Swit-

Treaty.

 

(Special by G.T. P. Telegraphs.)

GENEVA, Feb. 9.—Anxiety is *
growing in Swiss oflicial quarters
lest many Germans, accused by
the Allies of war crimes enter
Switzerland to escape liability un-
der the Peace Treaty.

Vice-Admiral von Capelle, min-
ister of the German navy, crossed
the frontier yesterday; Baron von

Brussells during the German oc-
cupation, arrived in Switzerland
from Munich and the former
Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria

FINANCES OF
COUNTRY ARE
IN BAD SHAPE

Debt Increasing Rapidly and
Interest Charges Amounting
to Large Sum.

OTTAWA, Feb. 9.—According
to the financial statement for the
first ten months of the current
fiscal year, Canada’s funded deb
has now reached the formidable
total of $%2,447,542,908; gross
debt $3,323,087,801, and net
debts $4,900,146,168, the latter
having increased by the startling
total of $62,015,109 during the
month,

Of the total funded debt on
which interest must be paid $1,-
975,068,498 is pavablein Canada,

 

$336,001,469 is payable in Lon-
don and $135,873.100 payable in
New York. The difference _ be-
tween the net debt and the fund- ~
ed debt is represented partly by
moneys still unexpended from the
proceeds of the last Victory Loan
and miscellaneous accounts to
the credit of the Dominion.

At the outbreak of war; the debt
totalled about $338,000,000 and
at the end of the tenth month of
the present fiscal year Canada
spent a total of $1,622,608,398
for war purposes. The borrow-
ings as represented by funded
debt, have therefore been $486,-
510 in excess of war expenditures
to date.
