"TRADE FOLLOWS THE
 LOAN" IS NEW SLOGAN

DENVER, Sept 22.-The invest ment of American capital at the pre- sent time in Europe was endorsed at the convention of the Investment Bankers Association. The delegates expressed their approval of the policy of extension of foreign credits, mot indicating partiality or prejudice but solely as a matter of business, prac- tically necessary as an outcome of the existing conditions"
 The sentiment of the delegates now crystalizes in. the resolution endors ing the neutrality of the national ad- ministration, ordering bankers to also maintain that attitude in conducting international transactions. The sub jeet of foreign investments was ex- haustively discussed by Dr. E.. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce who declared that under the present system in the world of finance the slogan Trade Follows the Loan," is more nearly true than the better known phrase Trade Follows the Flag"

GERMANS STILL GOING
 FORWARD IN RUSSIA

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The German encircling movement against the Rus sian army which evacuated Wilma has been appreciably intensified and tight ened. With the retreating forces xir- tually without rail communication, their retreat seems to have reached a most critical junction.
 There is increasing misgiving lll England as regards the outcome of these maneuvers. The latest Berlin official communication shows that i'm portant advances of General von Hin denberg's right wing have been made, as well as progress of Prince Leopold of Bavaria along the center.
 The only development from the viewpoint of the allies as an offset to the continued rush of the Germans to the east is the news received from Paris that the French troops have crossed the Aisne-Marne canal, a claim that Berlin comedies.

 So far there has been no general Bulgarian mobilization, but troops are leaving their stations throughout the country.
 Referring to the concentration of certain Bulgarian troops, the premier yesterday informed governmental members of parliament that the war danger in the Balkans had decreased but that the Bulgarian government was obliged to resort to armed neu- trality.

AND JUST HOW MUCH
 SHOULD WOMAN WEIGH

PHOENIX, Sept 23.-The correct weight for woman is one hundred and thirty-five pounds, according to R. l.. Boardman, physical director of the Y. M. c. A.
 This question is being agitated all over the country today as result of a discussion held in New York re- gently where the problem of the fat woman is now calling for solution.
 The biggest affair that the suffra- giSts have undertaken in the metro polls of the United States promises to be parade prior to the election. It has been suggested that women weighing more than one hundred and fifty pounds, who have political equali- ty at heart and who desire to be in the parade be offered the comfort of seats in vehicles.
 Tt will be safe enough to make the offer" said one suffragette leader "The women weighing more than one hundred and fifty pounds will be ashamed to admit it, so they will all walk"
 MT. Boardman believes that will be a splendid way to solve the difficulty and at the same time holds out the encouragement that after the feature the woman will be just that much more attractive"
 The why and wherefore of which is that the jaunt through the streets of New York will reduce the weight of the walkers!

Question: What is state
constitution?
Answer: A state constitution
is a legal document which nobody
reads, which the lawyers de-
claim about with impressive seri-
BUSINESS, and which was drawn by
body of men completely sur
rounded by whiskers.
No, gentle reader.
This is not q loony answer by
a high school student in history
or civics. This is a new discov-
cry in government.

Cause JUDLITSKT'S death

Michael Fromm, of No. 1921 East
Thirteenth street, who was arrested
Saturday following the death of
Frank Judlitski, of No. 1928 Townsend
street, charged with manslaughter
and held under 500 bail for a hear
ing, was dismissed in City Court this
morning after Assistant City Solicitor
Lynn said he was satisfied the State
had no case against Fromm.
Fromm had been arraigned in
Municipal Court about a week ago on
a charge of assault and battery pre-
ferred by Judlitski. but was dismiss
ed. At that time it was charged that
Fromm and Judlitski, who are en-
Dloyed at the plant of the Electric
Hose and Rubber Company, became
involved in a dispute over work and
that Judlitski struck at Fromm with
an iron bar, and that Fromm, striking
back, hit Judlitski on the head.
Judlitski died Saturday morning of
congestion of the lungs and cardiac
unefficiency, according to a post NOR
tenn examination conducted by County
Physicians p. A. NJ. Rovitti and H. w.
Briggs. The doctors said death was
not due to a blow.
DIR. David Rossman today stated thai
he did not inform the police or coroner
that Frank Judlitski had died as a re
suit OF being hit on the head. DR.. Ross
man said he was called at 6 O'Clock Fri
day evening TO attend Juditski an,
found him in a dying condition. Whei
the man died on Saturday morning DR.
Rossman said he reported it to the cor
oncr, at the same time saying that Jud
litski had been struck on the head {
week ago, but not claiming that thu
blow was the cause of death.
