The official statement from the war Of

a communication trench of the en-

occupants attempted to escape by
hight. but were caught by the fire OF
our rifles and machine guns
A surprise attack made over a wide
front took the occupants of the
trenches by surprise, and they in
part sought safety by flight. On the
remainder of the front there were
no events of Importance.

The financing of our foreign trade

through London. During the last hum

financial market. She has held her po-
sition not because of prestige merely.
but because the nations of the world
needed an international clearing house
and London supplied that. At the same
time London became the clearing house
chiefly because she supplied large
part of the capital needed for public
improvements and large Qrivate enter
prises.
The United States never has taken
any large part in financing foreign
trade because of the compa ratiyely
small part of that business carried on
here and because also of the unfamil-
iarity of many of our bankers with the
methods of international finance. Nor
has the United States taken any large
part in supplying capital to other
countries. On account of more profit
able investments at home we have
chosen to invest here rather than
abroad. This also has been true be-

He did laugh. but you may be sure
he took great pains that Granny
should not see him laughing. When
ever she locke ed round he was as sober
as could be- In fact. ne appeared to be
quite as eager as if he felt sure that
they would catch Quacker. Now, old
Granny Fox is very wise in the ways
of the world, and if Reddy could have
known what was going on in her mind
as she led the way to the Big River he
might not have felt quite so sure of
his own smartness. Granny was doing
some quiet laughing herself.
He thinks I'm old and foolish and

scamp" thought she. He thinks he
has learned all there is to learn 1t
isn't the least use in the world to try
to tell him anything. When young
folks feel the way he does it is a
waste of time to talk to them. He has
got to be shown. There is nothing lik e
experience to take the conceit out of
these youngsters
Now, conceit is the feeling that you
know better than any one else. Per-
haps you do. and then again perhaps
you don't. So, sometimes it is best not
to be too sure of your own opinion.
Reddy was sure. SO he trotted along
behind old Granny Fox and planned
smart things to say to her when she
found that there wasn't chance to
catch Quacker the Duck. am afraid,
very much afraid, that Reddy was
planning to be saucy. People who think
themselves smart are quite apt to be
saucy.
Presently they came to the bank of
the Big River. Old Granny Fox told
Reddy to sit still while she crept up
behind some bushes where she could
peek out on to the Big River He
grinned as he watched her He was
still grinning when she tiptoed back
He expected to see her face long with
disappointment. Instead, she look ed
very much pleased.
"Quackar is there" said she land ]

dinner. Creep up behind those bushes
and see for yourself. then come back
here and tell me what you think We

once Quacker had come ashore. Granny
