o00,000 in excess of the purchases made a year ago. In fact, in October of last year the exports to Greece from New York were so small as to be worthy of no con sideration. Norway and Sweden together bought from the United States and OK ported from New York commodities of the money value of s1, 10000 in excess. of tho purcha ses made in October of last year.
 Almost all of these purchases by neu- tral nations would have been elsewhere than in tho United States had there been no war in Europe this year. In business circles the belief Is strong that these neutral nations will continue to purchase heavily In the United States long as the war lasts. None of them is a nation from which we import in any large amount, so that the aggregate of our ex- ports to these neutral nations will in crease considerably our favorable trade
 balance.
 The Visible Trade Balance
 The visible trade balance in favor Of the United States which was created by our international trade in October is found to be approximately 335. .00o.0o0. This does rot include cotton, excepting the exports from Galveston. When the cotton stua- ton is relieved and exports begin upon a normal scale then our visible trade bal ance should increase heavily each month. A week or two before the war in Europe began the estimate was that the visible trade balance for the present calendar year would either be against us or so small that it would be hardly worth con
 sidering. Now there are indications that in the present fiscal year which ends on June 20. 19lo. we shall have accumulated
 a visible trade balance approximately as 1 large as any which it has been our good | fortune to secure in recent years.

This is I in line with an intimation which was re- l ceived from London several weeks ago al l Che time when the British treasury. through tho chancellor Of the exchequer came to the relief of those who wanted marine insurance policies written and

GERMANS POSING AS
british Held BRIDGE
OFFICER GIVEN IRON CROSS AS
REM ARD FOR his CLEN-
DRNESS.

Correspondence of The Associated Press
BERLIN, Nov In the recent
operations of the Germans against the
French on the left bank of the Marne
bridge over that river was held by
ruse for six house by a bicycle
squad of 3 pioneers, with the German
vanguard 20 klomctcrs away and
with an English brigade in hivOuaC
two l1ilometers west of the bridge and
a French cavalry division a short dis
tance east of it,
The officer in charge of the pio-
neers had been instructed to ascertain
whether the bridge was still intact.
On his arrival he found that such was
the case and pursuant to instructions
proceeded to fortify the little shanty
Of the bridge-tender by placing sand
bags against its walls. In addition the
telegraph and telephone wires run
ming across the bridge were cut and
the tracks of the railroad We're torn
up.
While the pioneers were busly en-
gagged in this, about one hundred
French reservists put in appearance.
The men had just been called i'm and
had to cross the bridge to reach their
destination, How to hold the bridge
until the arrival Of German troops
was, i'm the face Of these odds, a prob
lem which the officer solved by
strategy. He explained that he and
his men were an English bicycle patrol
which had been detailed to prevent
anybody crossing the bridge until :
o'clock that night. The barricade
which the men were building, added
the officer, was intended to facilitate
the defense of the bridge against the
Germans. As the German officer
stated in his letter which brought this
news, the French reservists believed
the story though they found it diff
cult to understand why they should
be barred from crossing the bridge.
Finally this also was overcome 10y the
plausibility Of the story told by the Of
fiCer, and later the Frcnchmcn went
to "A nearby village to secure meat and
wine for the supposed English patrol.
The German officer was urged by
the French reservists to retreat when
the Germans put in appearance after
six hours Of anxious waiting by the
pioneer squad. This he refused to do,
with the remark that he did not fear
the Germans Later the French re-
servists had the doubtful pleasure of
hearing the officer tell them: I'VE are
Germans also" The officer has been
given the iron cross.

Help the Belgian Christmas Fund =

November G, 19l4.-To the Editor.
Dear Sir: The cooperation of our
fellow countrymen is asked to allevl-
ate the sufferings of countless thou

winter II is a tremendous task. The
Dollar Christmas Fund of which |
am treasurer, and which is backed
by many well-known public men, is
working with other organizations to
avert starvation which threatens
many 1t is only by widespread and
generous support and by personal APP
peals through the press that we can
hope to achieve success. Today hun
dreds of thousands of Belgians are
homeless and penniless refugees.
Thousands of civilians have met a
miserable death. The whole appa-
ratus Of economic life in field or fac
tory or office has been wrecked and
ruined so that the future of Belgium
is altogether beyond prophecy.
There are many ways In which you
can help to avert the agony of suf
fering which confronts helpless Bel
gians during the coming winter. You
can send a donation to our fund or
you can apply to our secretary. Percy
