At the Hotel Gerard, where he lives,

Look to United States for Sup

Especial to the Herald.)

New York, Oct. 23, 1915-Extraord- mary events are taking place almost
 daily which attract comparatively lit-
 tie attention. Evidently we are rap-
 idly becoming accustomed to the ab- normal and no longer shiver at every
 new disturbance or novel movement
 only a few days ago the most re- markable government loan in history
 was placed in this market and S350,-
 OOO,000 out of the $490,0O0,O0O due was paid the first day without excit- ing a ripple in financial circles. Since
 the beginning of the current year we
 have imported about $300,0OO,000 of gold, and much more is coming. Our
 merchandise exports again broke the record last week, amounting to over $73,00O,000 or 44,000,0 ,00O in excess of imports for the same period. Russia negotiated a war contract for S6O-
 100000 and Italy offered $25,000, 900 of notes for war purposes. A new Am
 erican preparedness policy costing full ly $50O,00O,000, was announced from
 Washington without evoking any spe- cial interest. That such movements
 and ideas as these can come and go
 without disturbing our serenity is ample proof of economic strength and sound mental equilibrium. Today the whole business world is depending up- on America for both supplies and credit, and these we are giving with out stint, yet amply within the lines of
 safety. Needless to say that when the war is over and normal conditions are restored, the United States will be found to have made tremendous progress as prime factor Tn the worlds markets While other nations are retrograding and
 exhausting themselves in the wasteful
 tragedy abroad, the United States has | forged ahead and won a position of
 the very first importance, which under l new competitive conditions after the

THE MACDOWELE RECTTAD.

When Mrs. Edward Mcdowell gave lecture recital at the Minneso- ta Music Teachers convention, the Musical courier reported:- "Thc charming lecturer gave heart to those who would otherwise have been dis couraged in their attempts to teach and play MacDowell's music correct ly. by reminding them that the com poser had always ardently maintained that anything beautifully done is cor rect, therefore, there might be a doz- en correct interpretations of the same little piece; but the forceful- ness, the verility of Mrs. Mcdowell over interpretations compel one to believe that they must be very like the originals.
 And the joy of it is that she Is not merely great mans widow, traVeling on his name, but is a piau- lst, who need not lean on someone else to make her playing liked"
 Mrs. Mcdowell comes to New Brit ain next Wednesday evening at Y. W. .. A. hall. Seats are reserved at Dickinson's.
