ENGLAND MUST
 PREPARE TO PAY
 U. S. S2,5OO,OOO,OOO

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Sir George Palsh, one of tho best known English authorities on financial affairs. made statement today in support of the Governments plan for mobilization Of American securities. He predicted Q trade balance in 1916 of more than two billion dollars, and probably $2,- OO.OOO. .O00 in favor of the United States.
 "The plan Is to enable the British people to purchase and pay for the great quantities of American goods and produce they will need to buy in the next twelve months" said Sir George. Further, 1t Is for the pur- pose of providing the allies of Great Britain with the sums they need for goods purchased in tho United States.
 "In the past year goods bought from the United States have been paid for largely In gold and still more lar gely in securities as well as by the credit of s5O0oOQ.OOOO which the Am orican bankers and investors so gen.. .erously provided Francc and Great Britain a short time ago.
 Practically speaking Great Britain has to provide all the money needed to settle the American favorable trade balance. For 1915 the excess over exports will probably reach $1,- 75O0OO.OOO.
 "ln 1916 the balance In favor Of she States, in view of the great quan- tltles of goods already ordered, may not be far short of s2,5oo, 100000.
 With such a prospect 1t was es- sential that Great Britain should mo- bilize her American securities and make necessary preparations for pay p,ent of SO great o sum.
 crn Absorb Preferred stoeks.
 Tile amount of money that Is likely to accumulate in the States is likely Co be SO great that not only will there be- rsN difficulty In absorbing any se- curitles which British and French in- vestors may desire to sell. but there will probably be O big surplus for in- vestment in British, French or other Government loans and In other for eign securities.
 "In other words, the United States, by reason of It's vast exports, will enjoy greater income than 1t ever had hitherto"

Berry automobile which was stalled In the snow The stage was stopped with the lead horses about twelve feet back of the stalled auto. According to the story told by the driver and passengers on the sleigh. the auto backed into the team and forced the two horses over the bank. The outside horses were forced over until it was just hanging by its front feet on the road and the driver and four passengers endeavored to save it. but as the bank at this point is perpendicular for over 100 feet, this was found impossible and the traces were cut. allowing the animal to fall to tho creek. Two of the passengers on the stage ran forward and endeav- ored to warn the auto driver to stop. but he either did not hear them. or could not stop and continued Co back, forcing the other horse off the road and over the bank, according to the story of the eye witnesses.
 At the point where the accident oc- cured the bank is amout 400 feet high. the first 100 feet of tho drop being almost straight and the rest be- ing very steep and shelving. The horses nre being removed from the creek today in order that the stream may not be polluted.
 There was not any danger of the stage going over the bank at any time. in spite Of contrary reports" said Mir. Humpheries yesterday Both were forced over the bank wl.h their h.nd feet first and the harness pulled over the head of the last one. The first horse over had been cut loose" he continued. c.
