For England Can Be Forced by
: That Power from the Whole
World, Says Cassel.

Correspondence of Associated Press).
STOCKHOLM, Nov. so.-The Sven
ska Dagbladet publishes report by
Professor Gustav Cassel, national
authority, on Financing the War"
He says in part:
Those countries which are. big
creditors Of the neutra1s have natur-
ally a special strength in war time,
in that maturing liabilities are read
lily taken up. This is most distinctly
seen in the case Of England, which
under normal circumstances invests
between s50,O00,000 and $75,OO0,O00
per month abroad, this being the nor
NAL form for the application OF the
surplus OF England's balance against
foreign countries. Should England
now, as might be the case, cease to
make these investments the cores
ponding amount would stand at her
monthly disposal.
"This explains the excellent finan-
cial strength OF England Just now.
England is the capitalist par excel
lence who can live on the returns Of
her capital, and who, thanks to her
resources, can force the whole world
to contribute towards her war expen-
diture."

Social Functions.
There were ninety different social

cessful and twenty-five boys Compel

year than yer before and are pro-
viding a call to a clean wholesome
social life to which many of the boys
are readily responding and a cleaner
boy life is established. The addition
of the billiard table to the older boys
club room has done much to increase
the regular attendance Of the older
boys to- the association.
We are indebted to the Ladies'
auxiliary who served numbers of
dinners and banquets for the boys,
several OF which were gratis.
Extension Work.
The association has been conduct
ing one Street Boys, class in the gym

much social work among these boys.
Arrangements have been completed

Under the supervision Of Mr.. Hend-

Quoted at Lake Cormorant for ten
days. beginning the middle of June,
with fine success. About $145 was
raised during the year in camp sub
scription. MI. MacFadden made a very
generous gift of a row boat, which is
much appreciated. The purchasing Of
a new Evinrude motor and the new
cement floor in the cook cabin help
ed to make camp life more enjoyable
than ever. A number Of Evinrude ex-
cursions were made up the Red river
during the summer, including a total
of 100 boys. The association should
consider a new boat for Cormorant
camp farm this year.
1t is encouraging to know that 800
has been paid through the efforts of
the Boys Department against the
camp farm Indebtedness. This prop
erty is a good investment. A camp

special privileges in the Boys depart
ment. The attendance in employed
Aboys classes alone, has increased over
500 per cent by reason of this new ar

Volunteer Service
This increased membership and the
larger ogram of social work has
made it necessary to keep the depart

ner hours, and until $50 o. m The

of a fine class of boys. Parents may
well consider this fortunate. If at

and help correct this than are the as

The boys have thronged the build
ing and many times come into the
mems quarters because Of the crowded
condition of their club rooms.
Not only has the membership been
somewhat larger, but more noticeable
has been the increased attendance by
boys, both members and non-mem-

able among boys Of, all ages and in

Cass county court of last year.
Six different nationalittes were rep

The Larger Program
Boys Work Department.
Two far sighted decisions in the
Program of the Boys Department
committee n the board Of directors,
to win and interest the boy life of
Fargo and Moorhead, have already
brought about results which have far
exceeded expectations.
These are the adding Of an assistant
physical director with special rela-
ton to boys work, and offering what
is known as a Senior intermediate
Membership to boys from the ages of
1S to Fl, at So per year instead of $12
as formerly. This new membership is
intended to help the older boys of
small earning powers and also to aid
these boys in graduating into the
