Credit Standing of Allies.

In this connection it is interesting to
note the observations of the agent of
the American banking syndicate with
respect to the credit standing of the
allied nations Mr.. Davidson, who re-
Gently returned from London and Paris,
expressed the opinion that il future
loans were made to the allies 1t would
not be either necessary or prudent to
insist upon collateral security in every
instance. Said he: Il am perfectly
clear that II we regard Great Britain
and France as desirable customers and
wish to continue to sell them our prod
ucts we must treat them as a producer
usually treats a desirable customer. in
which event / am confident we will
continue to supply them largely, not
only during the war. but for the re-
construction period which will follow.
1t naturally would be inconceiva.le to
US that the people OF Great Britain or
France could question the obligation
of the United States government in
peace or in war. In this connection 1t
Is my unqualified opinion that the I'M
secured government bond of Great
Britain or of France, free from home
income tax and payable in dollars in
the United States. is just as sure to
be paid as the unsecured bond of the
United States government. no matter
how the war terminates. In making
this statement / am not unmindIul of
must Ne met and can only be met
through taxation. 1t is on this very
question of after-war taxation that we
must note the great difference between
external and internal obligations of
the warning countries"

he did give a hint Of surprise.

An Orphan.

Alice Joyce, star in motion pictures,
had an experience with a little negro
girl which brings a chuckle wherever
it is repeated.
Miss Joyce was on her way home
after an arduous days work. A little
colored girl crying against a telegraph
pole aroused her sympathy. The carm-
ing star approached the girl and in
quired the cause of the trouble. The
child replied that her aunt had just
driven her from the house.
"Where is your father?" asked Miss
Joyce.
"Nevah had no pappy," was the re-
ply.
well, where is your mother?"
"Daid,' was the laconic answer.
Miss Joyce was touched. Dead"
she replied pityingly.
"Yaih! she done died befoh All was

the double to Post Number Seven.
With an unconscious sigh of relief
the captain turned to the table and
refolded his letters, stufing them in
his pockets while he waited for a re-
port Of the cause of the single shot he
had heard in the distance.
Soon the sound of the relief return.
ing was followed by a movement at
the entrance of the tent. The SER
geant Of the guard entered and sa-
luted.
Captain Orden shot by Number
Seven, sir" he reported. HE walked
up on Number Seven and would not
halt when challenged"
where is Captain Orden?" asked
the captain Of the guard.
'In his tent, SIR" answered the SER
geant.
'Take charge Of the guard until I
return" ordered the captain. "Have
you notified the surgeon?"
Eyes, sir" the sergeant replied. HE
is there now"
A few minutes later the captain of
the guard met the regimental sur
geon dropping the flaps of Orden's
tent behind him as he emerged into
the quiet company street.
"Good shot, that, sentinel" said the
surgeon, as he ran his fingers thought
fully through his grayish beard. poor
Orden felt it. But he knew this
camp like a book, Captain. God knows
we've been in the beastly place long
enough for him to. Why should he
deliberately walk up on Number Sew
en?"
"Who knows?" answered the cap
tain, as he opened the flaps and enter
ed the tent.
Orden's body was on his field bed.
BY the light Of a Pickering candle on
the camp table the captain noticed the
tiny blue mark on the forehead, where
the sentinel's bullet had found it's
target.
In warfare soldiers soon become in
different to death, ven accept it as
a matter Of course, but a a of bit
ter sadness swept over the officer as
he turned from his friend to the ia
BILE.
A pile Of letters lay there. One,
open and face down, seemed about to
slip from the rough table to the
ground. The officer picked up the
sheet of heavy paper and turned it
over.
A wedding announcement. He
caught the name catherine" black
on it's creamy surface as, with a flush
and a feeling almost of sacrilege, he
thrust it into an envelope that lay
open beside it.
He noticed curiously that lone OF
the other letters had been opened.
A wandering breeze made the can
die flicker as he turned to leave the
tent, and his eye caught a wavering
CLEAN from something on the trodden
earth Of the tent floor.
He stopped, to pick up what he saw
to be the broken. remnant of an *
Quisite miniature.
The beautiful face had been SCARED
and twisted as if a frantic heel had
driven it hard into the earth, but
across the back Of the jewel-set frame
he could read the name Catherine"
Placing it beside the letters, the cap
tain Of the guard dropped the flaps of
the tent behind him.

the narrow footpath.
The sound of the shot echoed DULY

alarm.
The sentinel snapped another car

and carefully watched the PROSTATE

called loudly for the corporal Of the
guard.
In the savage tropics a soldier soon
learns that foolish curiosity is no part
OF an infantry sentinel's equipment.

stoops to succor will suddenly whip
out a f1ame-like creese, and with an
expiring effort drive it through the

slain an infidel dog, the amenities of

The sentinel, at a I'll distance,
and keenly alert for danger from any
other source, watched the victim of
his shot until the rhythmic thudding
Of feet on the dew-wet ground told of
the coming Of the relief of the guard.
Hating the approaching men until
he was satisfied of their identity, he
let them advance, and reported what
had occurred to the non-commission-
ed officer Of the guard.
Cautiously advancing to the pros
trate figure, holding his rifle at the
ready, the corporal convinced himself
that the man lying there was dead.
"A good shot, JONES'" he muttered
to the sentinel, as he knelt beside the
body. IF one does not shoot straight
