Strange Nervous Affection.

One Of the strangest nervous af-
fections known to science IS the fear
which the sight OF a cat or even near
ness OF one produces In many per.
sons. This cat fear or aiiurophobia
affects different individuals in num-
Der Of widely different ways. There
are those who have cat asthma; those
who have fear on seeing cats, With
out sequent. excessive or emotional
manifestations: those who manifest
such emotions when a cat is near,
though unseen by them; those who
can smell cat without seeing it. Be-
sides these. cases occur in which
the consciousness Of cat Is pres
ent through Its smell, which once 2ex-
listed, but does not now, and yet the
ability to detect unseen cats remains"

our ENORMOUS
and INCREASING
DEBT TO EUROPE

Rochester, n. Y, Nov. 15.-The United
States is running in Europe's debt at the
rate of about s6oO,Ooo000 a year, said
William C. Van Antwerp. a governor of
the New York Stock Exchange, in an
address here tonight before the City
Club. A large part of this amount-per-
haps one-third-is due, said Mr.. Van
Antwerp to the expenditures of Ameri-
can tourists, who annually pour into
the pockets of European innkeepers,
merchants and the others who share the
receipts from travellers stream of gold
amounting to about two-fifths of the to-
tai value of this countrys huge trade
balance.
One of the difficulties which confronted
American bankers when the European
war upset the finances of the country
said Mr. Van Antwerp. was a problem
that has not been solved, and will not be
solved in this generation.
II refer he continued ito that in
herent weakness in the financial position
of the United States with reference to
other nations as represented by our stu
pendous debt to Europe. Although we
have normally an apparent credit bal
ance in trade of over s500.0O 900 annually,
we have in fact other annual interna-
tiona1 debts of at least twice that
amount so that our boosted trade bal
anee not only is wiped out, but d balance
accumulates against us which might
compel us TO export at least $500 0o0, 900 in
gold to pay our debts each year. This
debt grows out of items which are not
included in the trade balances.
II was informed recently by Sir
George Paish. who is now visiting this
country in his capacity as assistant to
the chancellor of the Exchequer, and
who is a recognized authority on large
matters of international economics, that
the net debt of the United States to Eu-
rope amounts to about seooOo00o0 year.
OF this staggering total $500, 100000 arises
from interest and dividends on Ameri-
can securities, $500, 900, 900 from the heavy
expenditures of our tourists, and the
balance from import freights paid to
foreign vessels, premium paid for foreign
fire and marine insurance, incomes paid
to the estates of our expatriated Ameri-
can men and women, and many similar
items. Thus the tables are entirely
turned against us. and instead of an an
nual trade balance of 100000, 600, we have
an annual net debt of 5000 zoo. 600"
Heretofore. said Mr.. Van Antwerp.

TRAINING OF RURAL LEADERS
Arthur E. Roberts

Arthur E. Roberts of New York, the
next speaker, is already known to many
Maine men because of his active partic-
ipation in the State Boys Conference.
He was member of the recent Amer
lean commission. appointed by President
Wilson, to go abroad for the purpose of
studying rural conditions In Europe. His
topic was "The Training of Rural Lead
.ers."
Mr.. Roberts said this was a unique
conference because it linked this gener-
alton with that of the future. He stated
that If those college men present were
true to the convictions that they must
accrue 1t didn't take a Philadelphia law
yer to see whether the good old State
of Maine was bound. OF the many op-
portunities released he urged every one
TO grasp some one of them and devot-
ing himself to it. He defined life shar-
ing" as no less than laying down ones
life for a cause He spoke in some de-
tail on. the training of pastors for rural
churches which is going on. What is
necessary for the reconstruction of ru-
raj communities is that leaders may see
the vision of the work they care to do
that they get the appetite for doing and
wanting to do, that they acquirefthe mo-
tive force with which to do it and that
each one apply that force in his own way
to best advantage

ming Club and. upon the arrival of
President Wilson. OF the appointment
of the president and secretary Of the
club as commissioners. The passage
of the Alley Bill" which the late Mrs.
Wilson so favored and the passage of
the Kenyon Red Light Bill" had been
effective agents by which the clean
ing up process had been carried out.
He spoke of the large foreign popu-
lation in Maine and said Keep them"
adding that Christopher Columbus
was the first "Dago" that came 20
America.
He said that this war, now going
on in Europe. is going to create need
for all the constructive forces the
world possesses and of the fundament-
al force that Is found In the spirit of
Jesus Christ. Returning to the sub
ject of democracy he told Of an in
teresting controversy as to the origin
of democracy and said that no where
outside the Bible could 1T be found.
Before the meeting closed President
Milliken called for brief remarks from
several gentlemen In the audience the
last of whom was H. E. Dunnack.
Mr.. Dunnack's talk hinged on the
three propositions of: Know oneself,
set forth by Socrates; master onseif.
set forth by Marcus Aurelius. and de-
ny myself, as set forth by Jesus
Christ. More freely this was express
ed in the sentence of be a Christian,
a gentleman and a scholar.

Europe had never collected its debts
here, having placed the money in Ameri-
can securities. Owing to the war, these
investments are no longer being made.
and England is demanding payment of
American debts. Mr.. Van Antwerp said
that American bankers had met the
emergency thus presented with wisdom
and resources.
"Since the war began" he said, I'VE
have paid or arranged to pay $3.50, 100000
and In the calendar year to date more
than $500, 600 000-a store of gold exceed
ing the entire holdings of the Bank of
England. No other nation in the world
would have done it; no other could have
done it."
The railroad problem said Mr.. Van
Antwerp. is a most menacing one. He
asserted that steps must be taken to re-
store the credit of the transportation
companies and place them in such po-
sition that they could earn larger re-
turns on their investments. Otherwise.
he said. I'VE shall face a disaster which
will shake the bedrock of the nation it
self He believed that the problem
might be solved by giving to the rail-
roads federal charters, relieving them
from state regulation, and placing them
under the control of central governing
body ''in which business men. railway
men and publlc-spirited citizens pre-
dominate to the exclusion of politicians
This form of administration, he said.
might we'll be modelled on the general
plan of the Federal Reserve Act, divid-
ing the railroads into geographical dis
tricts governed by boards.
