Not Direct Answer,
'he Petit Parlsien says:

The Petit Parsien says:
"The reply of Germany and Austria
Hungary is not ? direct loyal answer
to the American suggestions, It is
only hypocritical expedient. Prosi-
dent Wilson asks the belligerents to
state their conditions. The central
powers ignore this and simply offer
n conference without any prelimi-
naries That is a trap in which they
very naively thought to catch the al
lies.

President Wilson asked for guaran-
tees for the maintenance of lasting
peace. Berlin and Vienna postponed
their explanations until later The
president Of the United States can in
no way declare himself satisfied AS
for the allies, their reply to the Wash

Stephen Piehon writes in the Petit
Journal:
"The American note, regarding the
inspiration of which we are as yet not
sufficiently enlightened, has at least
had the merit of unmasldng a German
maneuver That is a self-eyident
truth which we formulated here from
the very first. It is now fully proved

clude to make it impossible for her to
furnish them"
In the Figaro, Alfred Capus says.
Germany in her answer to Presi-
dent Wilson proposes meeting Of
delegates at a neutral city. That city
If it was specified, would remain for
ever famous as the scene Of the great
est trap in history. France, not to
speak of our allies, would come out
the vassaI Of her adversaries Of today
and so many prodigious sacrifices, so
much glory won in marvellous battles
would have served to make of us a
subject and a fallen people"

Washington, Dec. 2S-The recent
authorization given the federal re-
serve bank of New York to appoint
the Bank of England as it agent in
London and the probable appointment
of the Bank of France as agent IN
/ Paris, and other foreign agents
throughout Europe in all likelihood
will be followed, in time, by the ap-
pointment of strong financial insti-
tutions in similar capacities in Japan
China and Australia
Officials are looking to the Orient
as a fertile financial field for the
growth of American business.
Arrangements under which the
Bank of England will be appointed the
London agent of the New York bank
probably will not be perfected for sew
eral months The arrangements no
doubt will be followed, in time, by the
appointment of foreign agents in other
financial centers of Europe.
! Operations under such arrange
ments in the opinion of officials here
will be negligible during the war com
pared with operations which will fol
! low afterward.
It was with a view to equipping the
banks of this country with machinery
which would enable them to maintain
the dollar as the standard of world
exchange after the war, that the au'
lthorization was issued.
A situation directly opposite is sale
to obtain with respect to the Orient
Financing dealings with Japan, Chin5
and Australia, officials here feel, prob
ably would be greater during the wal
than afterward unless the machiner!
to facilitate such operations will hav'
been established and working whei
peace is declared Bankers in thos
countries it is pointed out, are stil
making their bills of exchange oi

Daisy's choosing.
For months this satisfactory ar
rangement continued. One day Daisy
approached the subject rather timidly
at the breakfast table Harvey, DEAR"
she said, ''it is a shame. I have been
20 busy lately that | haven't spent
much time on your mending. But
thought if you needed anything done
you would tell me, wouldn't you, dear?
And l knew you had bought some new
socks"
Harvey felt the blood rush to his
face as the matter of his secret was
suggested
"Of course, Daisy" he said, its all
right. l know you are busy" He
l0nged to ask her what kept her so
busy but as she volunteered no infor-
nation he was silent.
1t was getting to be a regular
Thursday afternoon performance for
Harvey to steal home for his weeks

where a succession of distinguished
looking attendants presided over the
counter. In vain he attempted to
broach the subject of overcharging.
but he never got his courage to the
sticking point.

he said one Thursday after the bill
for the preceding week had amounted
to $l.95. Il don't care if the dame at
the counter does look like a Newport
dowager. I'll do it. Those people are
making too much money at their
game"
This day Harvey discovered to his
JOY that the woman behind the coun-
ter was young and petite He could
tell her about it, he thought, without
losing his nerve. He might also ask
her why the proprietor made such fre-
quent changes of his employees.
He was fairly face to face with
the young woman when he expert
enced the shock of his life.

socks and pajamas falling to the floor

pected that you came here when

gave you before we were married. /

dear"
But, Daisy he interrupted, gather
ing together the scattered garments,
why didn't you tell me? l can give
you more money. You told me your
allowance was large enough. Oh,
Daisy, to think that you had to slave
like this! You poor dear, why didn't
you tell me? How stupid l have
been!"
Daisy was laughing. Don't you
know, silly? l didn't do this Eor
money. | did it for the Belgians.

Groombridge, in Sussex. Just before

They do these things so much better
