It is hopeful sign that last week, for the first time since the great Euro pean war was precipitatod on August 1 iast. bank clearingB were nearly nor nal. According to The Commercial and Financial Chronicle four of the seven leading cities of the country Philadelphia, Baltimore. Chicago and st. Louis showed gains over the cor responding week of 1914 while three Now York. Boston and New Orleans reported slight losses. On the total clenrings of the seven the decline was only % per cent, while for all the cities of the country reporting the loss was but S,9 per cont
 The significance of these figures can better be realized when 1t is romem- bered that for months past the bank clearings have been from 15 to 30 per cent below those of tho previous year This ahrlnlyage revealed in most striking form the business depression caused by the war, the closing of the atock ezchaugee Che interruption of exports and tho other discouraging features ol tho past five montha. Ap- parontly lhe tide hae nov turned, and the new year Is to be marked by a rising food Of trade The signs of this are already apparent Philadelphia Record.

WELLS URGES HOLLAND
 TO JOIN THE ALLIES


 CHICAGO, Feb, 15.- The Chicago Herald publishes on article written by the English writer, H c. Wells show ing why Holland should join the AL lies in the war in Europe and why 1t would quickly end the conflict in their Interest if she did 80. Publication of the article was refused by the censors of London
 Wells says:
 Hollands position as regards Ger. many now is extraordinarily strong materially She has behaved patient ly and sanely through trying ordeal. She has endured much almost ineyi- table progoeation and temptation with dignity and honesty. Were she now subjected to any German outrage she could strike with her excellent army of 100000 men at Aix-la-Chapelle, and turn repulse into rapid disaster.
 "ThIs is the interesting thing about the Dutch position now. The Dutch hold q sword at the back of Germany. Were thoy to come into the war on the Germsa side they would, no doubt provide 8 most effective but certainly not ? decisive re.enforcement to the German western front but they would also lay open 9 convenient way for the Allies to the vital part of Ger. many, Wesiphalia.
 eBut were they to come in on the side Of the Allies they would at once deliver conclusive blow. They could cut the main communications of the German army In Flanders they could round up and assist to capture q very large porton Of the Germnn Western forces, and they could open the road not only to attack but to turn the Rhine defcnsea. In fact, they could finish Germany"

Americas Premier Lecturer Coming
Next Tuesday Evening-Manasement
Fortunate in Securing Date.

For several years the managers of
the Augusta Entertainment Course
have desired to secure DR.. Edward Am
herst OFT. without doubt the most
popular lyceum lecturer Of the last
decade. In fact, his popularity is such
that he holds the worlds record for
return engagements. and to secure an
open date it is necessary to make ap-
plication from one 70 two years in ad-
vance. They were very fortunate in
securing Dr.. OFT for next Tuesday eve
ming, Dec. Ii.
DR.. OFT speaks before more than
$4,000 people annually. and for his
Augusta engagement will give his "a
nous Sour Grapes This most re-
markab.e lecture of modern times has
been delivered more than 1000 times,
and many large printed editions have
lalSO been sold.
The word lecturer should probably
be releSated 70 disuse, it is so >inac-
curate and often misleading When
/ some tiresome pelagoguc desires to
Nentilate his theories. it is generally
designated by the term lecture.
Dr.. OFT knows nothing Of this unin-
teresting style OF speech making. and
! it is difficult 10 adequately describe his
| type Of lecture. The audience is in
tro0uced to a neatly attircd. plain,
sensible looking man. There is moth
ing of the charlatan ~ this gifted man.
He resorts to no tricks of speech or
form. He commences to talk in SIM
pie. accurate, underestimate BILE English,
and your eyes never leave him. You
seem to forget what is going on until
you are soon surprised to hear him
say good night" Lo, you have been
unconscious of passing time, and an
hour and half has gone.-Adv.

tuous dinner of Bannock Hill lamb and
roast goose from the noted Johnson
Weston homestead, a most fitting con-
gratulatory address in the name of the
party was given by Mr.. Ingram to the
guest Of honor; Mr. Lambert replied with
much emotion. Other addresses followed
IN which many "reminiscences of an af-
fecting nature We're recalled with much
feeling Recitations and songs, the lat

sweetness, made the afternoon most
enjoyable one closing with prayer meet
