Michael was sick and hoarse from the

his falling voice or produce activity in
his nmble limbs. Michael was SICK
and disconsolate, and the gay throngs
knew IL not.

To Aid Foreign Commerce
by Teaching Finance to
Undergraduates.
OFFICE TIME WILL
COUNT FOR DEGREE
90 Graduates Placed in Other
Countries Who Began Their
Instruction Last Summer.

Inspired by the desire 70 aid in build
ing up the foreign commerce Of the
United States, the National City Bank
has recently completed plan whereby
the university student may. in his col
ltge course. gain actual experience IN
whatever line Of commercial or fnan-
cial endeayOr he intends TO follow. The
time which the student spends IN the
city Office learning the business viii, If
the plan is accepted by colleges at
large, be regarded as laboratory work
and count toward his degree.
The project, so far a. it has been de-
veloped, applies only TO the National
City Bank, but il can readily be eX-
banded. It is the belief of the officials
that the Advancement Of American for
eign commerce demands that the
branch Offices Of United States con
Germs on foreign soil be conducted by
citizens Of this country.
Years ago a statement issued yes-
terday explains, the English and Ger
mans recognized the principle That
lasting foreign trade was dependent
upOn the expectation of their men fully
as much as upon the expectation OF
their commercial products and capital.
Most Of all the development OF Amerl-
can foreign commerce depends upon the
character and training OF the men VINO
are TO carry on the work.
Last August the bank took into us
offices twenty graduates from American
universities and began their insuuc-
tion in the theory and practice OF Dahk-
ing. More than half OF these nave al
ready been sent TO branches IN south
America. The present plan OF the
bank. however. Is TO give the training
which these men received TO UNDER
graduates during their college courses.
On February j. officials Of the bank
discussed their project with seven pro
fessors. accredited representatives OF
as many leading Eastern universities
Harvard. Yale. Princeton. Cornell
PENNSYLVANIA. Columbia and New York.
To-day at Chicago the plan VIII be iaid
before representatives Of Wisconsin,
Michigan. Minnesota. Chicago, North
western and Illinois universities, ana al
A later GATE the Southern and fSclhc
Coast institutions VIII be consulted.
The details Of The arrangement ioi-
low: Each university consulted VIII Sc
loct two especially promising students
who desire 20 receive q years banking
experience while i'm college. TINS Will
be divided between two summer vaca-
tions and six months term IN the
senior year The bank will pay each
mans transportation and salary o.
$50 "a month.
Each man entering the course VIII
receive instruction in banking, foreign
exchange. credits. economies, CONNER
c;al geography and one foreign Ian
guage. Glasses will be held every day.
No legal claim will be placed by the
bank upon the men it has instructed,
but il will expect 20 have the first right
to offer them positions.

the Becker case after he publicly an
nounced that he was not interfering
with the disorderly houses in the upper
Tenderloin district. which he command

told be- Commissioner Waldo not TO mo-

Waldo denied Hayes charge, and
placed him or trial for making d false

Captain Peabody's reinstatement by
the Appellate Division Is the second

short time later found Peabody's entry
above his. He accused Peabody of max

Paris. Feb. 29.-The attention OF
France is concentrated on the Yer
dun battle. Since their great ad-
vance in August. 1914. and the bat
tie of the User, the Germans have
made no such effort on this front.
After eight days they have not
succeeded in breaking the French
front and their losses have greatly
diminished their effective force. The
best statistics so far published are
those of NJ. /. Goung. an insurance
actuary. who says that at the begin
ming of the war the Germans had
1O.S2OOOO men between the ages OF
eighteen and fifty-four. Leaving out
the battle of Verdun they had
