HOUSE SOLD OUT FOR
 FIRST PERFORMANCE
Tickets for Minneapolis Symphony Concert at a Premium-Finest Orchestra in the World,
 States BOstOnian

Despite the fact that the Minneapolis orchestra follows the Boston grand opera at the Bijou, both the Wednes day afternoon and the Wednesday night concerts will play to capacity houses
 Every seat in the parquet and the balcony for the childrens matinee is sold and the pity of it is that hundreds of little folks will be debarred the pleasure of hearing the orchestra be- cause of the limited capacity of the house. Applications for children's seats are still coming in only to be denied. The top gallery-about 500 seats-was offered only to adults and there were few tickets to that part of the thea tre yet unsold last night but Mrs. E. T. Rice, who joins Mrs Richard F.. Johnston in presenting the Minneap- oils orchestra. said that in all proba- bility there would not be one left when the Cable hall seat sale office closed tonight
 Seats for the night concert at which Madame Chilson- Ohrman, the re- nowned prima donna, will be heard here for the first time, are going rapidly, and the chances are the Bijou will be packed
 A. M. Wright of Boston, vice presi- dent and general manager of the Ma son & Hamlin company, who happens to be in Birmingham, spoke in un- stinted praise of the Minneapolis or chestra.
 Proud as I am of our great Boston Symphony orchestra, I cannot help wishing that I could be in Birmingham next week to hear the Minneapolis,' ,' said MT. Wright.
 Tt is one of the finest orchestras in the world and I applaud Birmingham S enterprise in bringing so large and so costly a body of instrum mentalists to the city for two concerts. It speaks well for Birmingham's musical culture, for after all there is nothing so educa- chestra''

of overwhelming activities on the part of both Germans and the French.
 In Belgium, according to unofficial reports, there has been notable ar tillery battle in progress during the last 10 days near Ypres, but the opin ion appears to prevail among military observers that the Germans have de- cided to postpone their offensive for more favorable weather. They are re- ported very busy, however. in strength ening their lines.
 In Russia the artillery play on the Riga Dvinsk front is notably heavy in character, but the infantry does not appear to have been active. In Vol hynia the Russians report forward movement in the capture of a hill be- tween the fortresses of Rovno and Lutsk, but the latest authenticated re-
 ports claim that Emperior Nicholas troops have been held to their old posi- tions in Galicia and on the Bessarabian frontier, in spite of their desperate at tempts to advance.
 A Belgian announcement says there is no foundation for the recent reports that Germany recently made peace pro- posals to the Belgian government. In entente quarters the visit of Pre-
 mier Briand of France to Italy is ex- pected to result in closer military CO., operation in the Balkans by the allies. The belief is held that Italy will short 1 ly send troops to Saloniki according to London newspaper comment.

NO PEACE OFFER

London, February 11.-Recent infor- nation gathered in government circles in Berlin is that Germany holds that portion of Belgium should be annexed to Germany in any settlement of the war.
 This view is directly the reverse of the recent report, coming through Italy, that Germany had offered to evacuate Belgium as condition of separate peace.
 port of Germany's willingness to evacu- ate Belgium, but the contrary view that Germany desires to retain part of that country probably will be made known in confidential advices going to the American authrities, indicating a less optimistic outlook than had been ex- pected.

INVESTIGA ALTON

Banks obtain information with rel erence to the credit standing of par ties, in the main by the following ways; By securing reports from mercantile agencies; by consulting persons who have extended credit to them, or are otherwise we'll informed as to their condition; by ascertaining the charac- ter of accounts kept; and by securing statements from the parties themselves
 But in deciding as to the extension of credit, nothing takes the place of the judgment of a capable man who has interviewed the borrower. No statement, mercantile report, or opin- ion expressed by another, can take the place of the estimate of the man who has experience in the extension of credit, and knowledge of human ma ture. However, advantage must be taken of all methods of obtaining light on such a question. as
 It is particularly desirable to know some ething of a mans family connec tions. For example, if he has moderate means and an expensive household, his ability to meet obligations is seriously impaired Lack of felicity at home@is also a great handicap, for there is no truer principal than that a house di- vided against itself shall fall. fla man does not receive cooperation at home, fails to discharge his ogliga- tions there, it is periIous for otherssto deal with him

CREDIT DATA

When a line of credit for commer- cial and similar purposes, particularly, is promised, a memorandum covering the matter should be carefully prepared and filed. It must show the credit arranged for, the terms of same, the security, if any, required, and the rate of interest to be charged A statement of ones impression of the borrower, and such information regarding him as has been obtained, should be in cluded Unimportant details frequently throw light on matters of this sort; and any data that seems germane to the subject must be preserved.
 Statements from customers, reports from mercantile agencies, and informa tion obtained from other sources, should be kept together in good form, and several times in each year, files must be carefully canvassed, with15 a view to keeping the material thor oughly up to date, and to being at all times informed as to the condition of borrowing customers. The purpose had in view is two-fold First, to secure adequate information regarding each person or firm to whom credit is ex- tended; second, that such data shall be so clear and explicit as to enable the bank, in the event of necessity to do so, to handle transactions without the aid of any one officer or employe. The life and tenure of office of individ- uals are alike uncertain, but the busi- ness of a corporation should be so con- ducted that it can go on indefinitely.
 SOME PRECAUTIONS
 The most effective precaution against losses are those taken before credit is extended, but after a loan has been made, the fact of the borrowers in solvency can often be discovered gin time to save the day, if proper caresis exercised. And even when the situa- tion is very bad, sufficiently vigor- ous and carefully planned efforts will frequently avail to prevent loss. And these efforts are sometimes made easier. by a lack of diligence on the part of other creditors.
 Tn this connection, it may be added that it is by no means sufficient@to place claims in the hands of an at- torney for collection, however capable he may be- In the absence of suff- cient collateral the creditor himself can often handle matter more sue -cessfully than an attorney. And with out underva1uing experience, it maybe said that an attorney who has a good deal of business often makes a less aggressive fight than a younger man, whose position is not so well assured.
