HOW WILL ALLIES PAY DEBT?
England and France Said to Be Tn Peculiar Position of Financial
 Distress.

England's foreign investments are not owned by the government, but by individuals, and they will not sell; and theIe seems as yet no way to compel them. American securities are the only ones that appeal to the Brit ish and French investors at this mo- ment as being good.
 What no financial expert ever pre- dicted was the amazing trouble that England and France would have in paying for the equipment purchased ih this country It has been thought that these two creditor nations would merck nave to s4&lais. eifeis foreign se- curities. or merely stop making for eign investments. to have all the money they needed. Sir George Par. ish, representative of the British treasury, came to this country last winter and poastfully told his inter. viewers and hosts that England could fight on for five years merely on the interest from it's. foreign investments an assertion that Sir George proba- bly, wishes he had never made Even Lloyd-George formerly spoke of the $5,00O,000,000 and the $2,O00,OO0, 900 this country and Argentina respec- lively owe Great Britain; but he has long since change his tune. England and France are in a position of pecu. liar financial distress, Albert w. At. wood asserts in the Saturday Evening Post. They are buying war equipment in this country on gigantic scale. They are exporting practically nothing to this country, and their inhabitants will not or cannot sell American se- curities back to America. They have nothing to pay with but gold, and they cannot afford to lose gold.
 France is in an even more embar. rassing position. She has gone mad for years over epargnes-savings. The average Frenchman would rather go without clothes and food at the present moment than sell his Ameri. can securities at loss. A friend of mine in New York recently received a letter from French banker in which It was said that only one thing gave his clients une grande quietude at the present moment, and that was their holdings of American stocks and bonds
 wherever you go in France toda, you will find American investments held intact; for the Frenchman will tell you that if he sells others will do the same, and that would pu. down the price of American securities which would never do."

Allison, local traction king, and when asked her opin- ion of the church by Rev. Smith Boyd. says 1t Is apparently a lucrative business enterprise.

Smith Boyd. who is calling there. At bobsled party Gail finds the world uncomfortably full of men. and Allison tells Jim Sargent that his new ambition is to conquer the world. Allison starts a campaign for consolidation and control of the entire transporta ton system of the world. Gall becomes popular.
