to be more so. Mediterranean ports
we're also in the market for our wheat,
and here they are either in the entente
alliance or uninvolved. While there
has been no decisive naval battle, the
strength Of the allied %squadrons is
presumed on paper, at least, to give
them the domination Of the sea and
their ports are likely to be open for
supplies for some months to come yet
no matter which way the balance or
the war scale finally turns.
1T seems equally imperative for the
United States export and banking
interests, with the cooperation OF the
government, if necessary. to meet In
a fair spirit the efforts of the foreign
countries that are now endeavoring to
re-establish trade with us. 1t is the
one legitimate way to check the gold
drain from this country by the crea-
ton of otfsetting credits through the
scale Of foodstuffs and merchandise.
In the sale Of securities Europe has a
big gold balance here, which, it would
seem, could be made the basis for a
satisfactory exchange for our export
ers.
THE question of a return to normal,
or as nearly normal as it is possible
under the conditions for international
trade to be, is n of concern no less
to this country than to Europe. 1t
calls for cooperation all around and
courage"

his method. Mr., Howard had his,

The governor referred to the hor-
rors Of the war that has broken out
since he sailed from Europe and ex-
pressed his thankfulness at being at
home, where peace and prosperity, in
stead of the marching Of countless
thousands of troops and the boom of
the cannon, are the chief events. That
the war will ultimately result in uni
versaI peace was his belief.
Speaking more specifically he was
convinced that North Dakota would
profit greatly after the war was Owe
Sober-minded thought, coupled with
the advertisement given this state and
the personal missionary work being
done in all the countries of northern
Europe by those who nave been visit
ing their native land, will bring thou

states, should profit most.
The governor expressed the utmost
optimism over the future of the state
and reiterated his appreciation of the
splendid reception given him by his
neighbors and friends.

REAL FINANCIAL GENIUS.
Seven Bankers UnwittingIy Helped
Him Make Up a Neat Roll.


Kansas City tSar: A fiscal genius
with a capital of $50 cleaned up $500
or so yesterday and left town, and
seven Kansas City financial institu-
tons will share the loss among them,
The modus operandi:
Presenting himself with SO in real
money he deposited that amount in a
savings account at each OF the seven
banks. That was in the morning.
Immediately after clearing house
hours he returned and presenting at
each bank a check for $3.50 deposit
ed it to his savings account-and then
withdrew his original deposit Of SO in
real money.
With all his capital thus back in his
pocket and an established credit at
seven different banks he proceeded
early yesterday morning to declare a
dividend. Making the rounds of the
seven banks before his checks Of the
day before had returned from the
clearing house he handed to the pay
ing teller a check for 1913 and asked
to nave it cashed. Whereupon some
thing like the following affable ex-
change took place: t. +
Beaming Teller-Ah, yes. But you
will have to be identified, you know
Do you know anybody in the bank?"

The fiscal genius took 1t in tens
and twenties and a few odd small
| bills, tota1ing, as was said, something
like 800 at the sever banks plus hi:
initial capital Of $50.
He is believed to be a foreign CAPT,
