HOW WILL ALLIES PAY DEBIT
England and France Said to Be In
Peculiar Position Of Financial
Distress.

England's foreign investments are
mot owned by the government, but by
individuals, and they will not sell;
and there seems as yet no way to
compel them. American securities are
the only ones that appeal to the Brit
ish and French investors at this mo-
ment as being good
What no financial expert ever pre-
dicted was the amazing trouble that
England and France would have in
paying for the equipment purchased in
this country. 1t has been thought
that these two creditor nations would
merely have to sell their foreign Sc
curities, or merely stop making for
eign investments, to have all the
money they needed. Sir George Par.
ash, a representative of the British
winter and boastfully told his inter.
viewers and hosts that England could
fight on for five years merely on the
interest from its foreign investments
an assertion that Sir George proba-
bly, wishes he had never made. Even
Lloyd-George formerly spoke of the
S5,000,000,000 and the $2,000,000,000

lively owe Great Britain; but he has
long since change his tune. England
and France are In a position of pecu-
liar financial distress, Albert W. At
wood asserts in the Saturday Evening
Post. They are buying war equipment
On this country on gigantic scale.
They are exporting practically nothing
to this country, and their inhabitants
will not or cannot sell American Sc
curities back to America They have
nothing to pay with but gold, and they
cannot afford to lose gold.
France is in an even more embar-
RAISING position. She has gone mad
for years over epargnes-savings
The average Frenchman would rather
go without clothes and food at the
present moment than sell his Ameri-
can securities at loss. A friend of
mine in New York recently received a
letter from a French banker in which
1t was said that only one thing gave
mis- clients une grande Quietude at the
present moment, and that was their
holdings of American stocks and
bonds.
Wherever you go in France today
you will find American investments
held intact; for the Frenchman will
tell you that if he sells others will do
the same, and that would put down
the price of American securities
(which would never do"

Ways of CROSSING Streets.

Street dangers are much the same
in all large cities. The New York
Times says: Some persons on prin-
ciple will cross a street at a point
elsewhere than at the regular cross
ing. Their argument is that at the
intermediate point in the block they
need look but in two directions to
avoid vehicles, while at the intersec-
tion of two streets, where most
crossings are placed, they must look
in four directions, lodging vehicles
as they veer around a corner. The
argument seems logical. But 1t is
not borne out by experience.
Statistics published by the commit
tee on street safety in the police bull
letin show that 40 per cent of fatal
street accidents, in cases where the
cause is given, occur by reason of
the victims crossing the street not at
regular crossings. It appears estab-
lished, therefore. that the added care
displayed by drivers when crossing
intersecting streets, or rounding cor
ners, conduces to safety. At other
points pedestrians are In danger"
Coroner Hoffman of Cook county,
Illinois. often calls attention to the
peril of crossing streets anywhere ex-
cept at intersections.

Billet for Every Bullet,

The proverb every bullet has its
billet" Is attributed to William IL.
One of the earliest references to it
is in "Tristram Shandy," where Cor.
poral Trim says, King William was
of an opinion, an please your hon.
or, that everything was predestined
for US in this world; insomuch that
he would often say to his soldiers
that every bullet has its billet" The
story was known to Wesley, who re-
cords in his Journal" under June 6.

ant Cook, who had been in campaigns
against Indians. French and Span
iards, and had never been touched.

ARMY TRAINING WORKS WELL
Many Engishmen, Accustomed to
SpectacIes, Have Been Able
to Discard Them.

Since the beginning of the European
war a surprising number of men have
been found wearing eyeglasses.
Prior to the war no men who were
under the necessity of wearing glasses
were accepted in the regular army.
With the formation of "Pals" battal-
ions and other specially constituted
corps, drawn in very large measure
from the ranks of city workers of the
middle class, and used, for the most
part, to desk work or other sedentary
occupations, the rule prohibiting
glasses was relaxed. AS a conse-
quence, many men who had become
accustomed to wearing spectacles
after passing the regulation army tests
to prove their sight was not defective,
were allowed to retain and continue
the use of glasses.
The interesting sequel is that, after
undergoing few months training,
many of these young men find they
can dispense altogether with any arti-
fetal aids to vision. Six months ago
many who could not read, cross road
In SAFETY, or recognize friend at the
other side Of it without the aid of
glasses, can now, at their training
grounds, go to the butts and see and
hit the target at 800 yards or more.
Not only so, but their vision for all
general purposes is markedly i'm
proved. =
This happy state Of affairs is at
tributed largely to the open-air condi-
lions of their new life, and in particu-
lar to the more expansive prospect
continually presented to the eye. Free
dom from close pursuits, carried on
under artificial light, is doubtless an
important factor.
In a proportion of cases it is be-
lieved the improvement effected will
be enduring after "Kitchener's men"
return to civil life. Anyway, for peo-
pie SO afflicted a valuable lesson is
given on the preservation of eyesight.

Message on a Mans seaIp.

We hear much about secret writing,
but have not yet heard of anything to
beat the simple cunning Of one His
daeus, Greek, at the Persian court in
The fifth century, B. c., who wanted to
send private message to friend at
Miletus. He took a slave with bad
eyes, and, under pretense Of curing
MIN shaved his head.
The message was then written on
his scalp, unknown even to him, the
hair allowed to grow again, and the
slave sent on to Miletus with a letter
which all could read, saying how well
Ihe had been cured. And the friend,
with whom the plan had been ar
ranged, only needed shaving materials

Hymn Books Rout Mad Doa.

a mad dog broke up the services
and put to flight the congregation in
st. Johns Episcopal church in West
Hoboken. In the middle of the SER
mon the huge mongrel dashed through
the open door and down the center
aisle. The terrified congregation
scrambled over seats, huddled in cor.
ners and tried to escape from the
building. One little girl was bitten in
the leg. She was hurried away by her
parents.
Then the dog made for the minis.
ter, Rev. Edward j. Cleveland, in the
pulpit. Mr.. Cleveland met the dogs
attack with volley of hymn books,
and managed to drive it into a vestry
room back Of the altar, where he
locked 1t in.
The church had been emptied by
this time, and the services were not
resumed. A policeman shot the dog

Cuban SUGAR.

Although practically all of the coun.
tries of the Pan-American union cult
vate the cane, Cuba is the greatest
producer Of cane sugar, not only in the
western hemisphere, but in the world.
The total production Of the western
hemisphere for the 1913 and. 1914 sea-
son amounted to 4,919,s14 tons, of
which Cuba produced 2,579,732 tons,
or nearly So per cent. The total cane
sugar production of the world was
9,773,348 tons, and deducting the g.
262,6OO tons produced by India and
locally consumed, it is seen that Cuba
produces nearly 35 per cent of the
cane sugar that is available in the
markets of the world.
