Major General Wesley Merritt vir-

Thursday when he entered upon a
leave of absence which will not ter
inmate until about the time when his
age will make retirement compulsory.
There are few general officers who can
claim to have seen more years Of ac-

Merritt. He has been a soldier for
forty-five years, and during most Of
that time he could with more truth
than has sometimes been the case with
others date his dispatches from head

Is OURS \ CREDITOR COUNTRY?

The Boersen Courier of Berlin is
forced to the conclusion that Ameri-
ca, meaning the United States, has
developed permanently from a bor-
rowing into a lOaning country. The
Courier may be correct in its cOnclu-
sion, but the conclusion does not nee
essarily follow from the premises.
These consist entirely Of the fact that
the apparent balance coming to the
country on account of trade for the
nine months ending with last March
is 1921 100000 and the estimate that
the interest on European capital in
vested in the United States cannot eX-
coed S250,0 900 annually, while tour
lists expenses and all other items Of
Outgo cannot consume the balance.

If you go into store to buy an article

grind. Don't 1t stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex

you easy? Don't you see through his
