Consul Elect From U. s.
Rejected BY English City

London - John l.. Outright, newly
accredited United States vice consul at
Nottingham, has returned to London
without taking up his duties because
the mayor and other city officials had
advised him that he would not be ac-
ceptable in an official capacity. The
objection to Mr.. Outright was based
on articles which he wrote and which
were published in Lincoln, Neb.,
newspaper. Ii was charged that the
letters expressed pro-German senti-
ments.
Before coming to Nottingham, Mr..
Outright served as American vice con-
sui at Coburg. Germany While there
he wrote the letters to which the Not
tingham officials took exception. Mr..
Outright is son Of John Outright, ed
itor of the Lincoln, Nebraska, Star
and formerly was private secretary to
William Jennings Bryan. The son, a
graduate Of the University of Nebras-
ka, has been In the consular service
only few months.
The British foreign Office has no In
formation concerning objections on the
on part Of Nottingham officials to the
assumption by John l.. Outright of his
duties at the American consulate. The
American embassy would say nothing
concerning the case, further than to
say that IL Outright was not accept
able to the Nottingham authorities, he
probably would be sent elsewhere.

CHAPTER ~.
ono Of Them.

One OF Tner.
Ali but Abraham had slept that
night as II he had been drawn
to rest under the compelling shelter
OF the wings OF all that flock which In
happier days he had dubbed contemp-
tuously them air old hens" Never
afterward could the dazed old gentle
man remember how he had been per-
suaded to come into the house and up
the stairs with Angeline. He only
knew that in the midst OF that heart
breaking farewell at the gate, Miss
Abigail, all out of breath with running,
red in the face, but exceedingly hearty
Of manner, had suddenly appeared.
"Shoo, shoe. SHOOT" this stout angel
had gasped. "Naow, Cap'n Abe, yew
needn't git narvous. We're as harm
less as doves. Run right erlong. Yew
won't see anybody ternight Don't
say a word. It's all right. SSH!
Shoot" And then, lol he was not in
the county almshouse. but In a beau
tiful. bright bedchamber with wreath
Of immortelles over the mantel. alone
with Angy.
Afterward. 1t all seemed the blur of
dream to him, a dream which ended
when he had found his head upon a
cool, white pillow, and had felt glad,
glad-dear God, how gladl-to know
that Angy was still within reach OF
his outstretched hand; and SO he had
fallen asleep But when he awoke
in the morning there stood Angelina
in front of the glass taking her hair
out Of curl papers; and then he slowly
began to realize the tremendous
change that had come into their lives,

BALANCE NOW REAL
First Time n History U. S. Holds
Trade Of Whole World.
Economist Says America IL Keep
Ing Her Money at Home on
Account of Var.

Chicago For the FIRST time In his
tory the United States Is "experione-
ing the sensation Of real trade bal
snce In itr favor" DIR. Edward E.
Pratt. chief Of tho Federal bureau OF
foreign and domestic commerce. told
tho Illinois Bankers association Mt its
annual dinner here Thursday.
A u result Of tho developments
abroad during the last ak months. DIR.
Pratt said. I'VE have turned the corner
and are facing new era Of business
expansion 10 this country -an era which
has made the term home market OBJ
solste and rachnie and put In its place
the unfamiliar term OF world market.
He explained that while the export
excess In favor Of the United States
had ranged annually for ID years from
$3.50. o0o. 900 to 1850. 900. 600 'invisi-
bic factors" had made this only an APP
parent favorable balance.
Foreign investment In tho United
States, the speaker said. totalled ST.
500. 900. 600. with an annual interest
Of t350. 600. 600. constituting fixed
charge on American industries, while
American Investments abroad pro-
daced revenue yearly OF only $780,
900. 600. reducing the balance against
the United States on this count to
s27b. 600. 900.
Moreover. he pointed out. American
tourist traffic poured millions into
European Golfers each year, the 1914
figure being approximately 1886. 600,
900: forcign-born Americans sent
home annually at least $3.50. 900. 00o
and foreign shipping concerns collected
freight from American foreign com.
meree amounting 20 s25. 900. 900 .
year.
The result Of all these invisible fac.
tors during the fiscal year Of 1914. DR..
Pratt declared. had been TO produce al
actual excess Of remittance over 70.
eeipts Of $50. 900. 900.
The change began on July l. 1914
he said, and by December 81 last year
the trade balances exceeded remit
tances by siss. 900. 900. due to tns
huge expectation Of foosdtuifs. mer
ehandlsc and gold and silver. At ths
same time came "a period Of export
capitalism, and we are just at IN,
point Of expanding into the world'l
markets.
To illustrate export capitalism. .
Or. Pratt cited the Swedish loan Of
$4,000. 900. the Argentine loan Of
$4,000. 900 and the Russian loan Of
SIS. 900. 900. all floated In this countr,
during the last six months.
