WILL HELP CHINA
Will Float Big Loan Chinese Finan-
ciers Failed to Get in This
Country.

Japan is preparing to lend 100000
800 to China. This is the result of the
failure of China to float a loan in
New York. Like ourselves, the jap
anese have made money out of the war
and are able to extend credit to other
countries. This loan will strengthen
Japan's influence in China, but we
have no right to object. We would not
help China. Those who say Japan will
dominate China and that trade will
follow money are probably right. We
can learn something from Japan.
Just as China is within Japan's
sphere of influence so is all Latin
America within our sphere of in
fluence. We have no designs on u
neighbors other than our desire to
trade with them and to have peace in
this hemisphere. Most of the Latin
American republics need money quite
as much as China does. We have more
available capital than any other coun-
try, perhaps more than all other ma
tons combined. The United States is
the only place where sufficient money
can be found at present to meet the
requirements of Latin America. If we
invest money we will secure trade Just
as we expect Japan to do in China. In
stead OF weeping about lost opportuni-
ties in the Orient let us improve our
w in the Americas. No complica-
lions with other Great Powers about
open doors and spheres Of influence
need be feared in this hemisphere and
our exporters will find fewer difficult
ties in the languages and trade GUS
toms. Losing a chance in China is u
good reason for not losing others in
the Americas.-New York Commercial.

Old English Furniture.

That fine old furniture Is yet found
In Great Britain in many unexpected
places is said to be largely due to the
stirring up Of the country that was
given by the great exhibition at Lon
don of 1851. This was soon after the
development of the railway system in
England. and there fiocked to London
a large number Of squires and their
wives. A new world had opened to the
country danes. The new things had a
wonderful fascination for them. On
returning home they got rid of much OF
their old furniture and bought new.
Much Of the old furniture found its
way to secondhand shops and was
sold to poor folk who could not afford
to buy new. This accounts for the
