 The plethora of capital has permit- ted the establishment of large credits for exchange purposes by France Rus sia and other European countries which will be utilized in the purchase of America commodities. This has been rendered possible by the remark able transformation Of the exchange situation since the early days Of the war. Following the preliminary estt- mate of an excess of exports of mer- chandise over imports by the United States of s110. .0OO. 900 in December. the partial returns for the first nine days of January have shown similar excess averaging $5,00O.o00 a, day.
 The prospect is thus opened for a visible trade balance in our favor of from 1, 200 to 1,SeO millions in 191bs while the visible balance against us made by American tourists expend1- lures abroad and other items will be enormously diminished. One must hold fast to this great fact in attempt ing to judge the future correctly, for such a. position established for this country must inevitably lead to don- estic business revival. The steel trade is already showing an increase in work at the mills and prices at last are beginning to record advances Of high importance. also, is the cotton exports are nearly back in normal fig ures.

USED
 AS SURGERY AID

London, Jan. 1s-The use of the telephone as an aid to surgery by communicating to the operator the noise of contact of knife forceps or probe with foreign bodies imbedded in the flesh. has been discovered and perfected by Sir James Mackenzie Davidson, who says his method will do much to simplify military sur gerry.
 The x-ray, says Sir James, has serious Limitations. It shows the presence of the foreign body, but gives no idea of the depth this body has penetrated or of its relation to the parts among which it has lodged Surgeons often fail to find the ob- Ject seen in silhouette on the huorescent screen,
 It is not necessary to have man full of shrapnel brought from the trenches to demonstrate the use of the telephone in surgery, as potato and a nail do quite as well. The surgeon uses a double pair Of receiv- CTS, such as worn by wireless opera tors. One of the telephone wires is attached to a. piece of platinum foil. Tn real operation, this foil is held in place on the patients skin by plaster or bandage. In the eKpert- ment. the potato is dipped into salt water and placed on the foil To the end of the other telephone wire is att tacfed a small, sterflized silver wire. which in turn is made fast to the knife, probe, needle or forceps used in sounding the wound or incasion.
 When the surgeons instrument touches metal, 1vh ether in flesh or in a potato, a distinct and unmistakable grating noise results. This means the the foreign body is discovered.
 There exists a. popular fallacy that is necessary to remove not only bul- let's but every scrap of metal from the wound. But experience has shown that the human body does not mind a little metal. and the removal of bullets is often too dangerous to attempt.
