ers' Reviews Reflect

BIZ w. S. COUSINS,
Editor American Banker.

New York, Jan. 3.-The year 1915
may be regarded as one Of the most
remarkable years in the history Of the
world. In financial chronology it will
be remembered chiefly as having put
into successful operation the many
wise plans for commercial rehabilita-
ton conceived by u bankers and bus
mess leaders during the preceding
year. During the closing weeks of
1914 various features of the financial
mechanism, previously suspended by
the effects of the great world war, were
again restored to working condition,
most notably the New York Stock ex-
change.
The history of 1915 can most briefly
be written in two words, liquidation
and expansions; liquidation of Ameri-
an security holdings by the inhabi-
tants of the terror-stricken countries
of Europe; expansion of the American
commercial policy so that American
capital has combined with American
enterprise for the greater development
of the trade possibilities with foreign
countries. Not only SO, but through
this policy the dormant and hidden
natural wealth of foreign lands will
be uncovered and made to yield tribute
to American capitalists and investors.
The great republics of the South Amer
lean continent will be drawn into
closer fraternal and business relation
ships with the United States, and the
commodities which heretofore were
produced in the factories of Europe
will give employment to workmen who
make America their home.
h is the great objective which
1915 has fairly ~inaugurated and which
each succeeding year will doubtless
establish on a firmer and more per1na-
nent foundation. This is the keynote
of the expert opinion Of American
financial leaders, as expressed exclu-
sively for this review and which are
here presented for the benefit Of our
readers.

Lafayette Stars Return;
Play Against Swarthmore

Easton, Pa, Oct. 6.-The opening of
creased the number of candidates out
for the football team until IT has reach
ed a number well over fifty. all of
whom have worked hard and diligently
in various squads this week. Weldon,
the star fullback of the lafayette team,
did not return in time to go through
the preliminary season with the rest of
tho team, and hence in the game with
Fordham on Saturday. IL was on this
account largely that Lafayette's for
ward passes were almost a total fall
ure, but one out OF seventeen being
successful. Weldon. however. has put
in a week of very serious effort and
his game has come up to its accustomed
high standard.
Overton. who has played for three
years on the scrub team. has come in
and is likely to take permanent place
in Iafayette's long string of center
men.
After two years Of absence, Charles
Marvin Pardee has returned to his place
at the end of the varsity line. He left
this place in the first game of the
1914 season when a dislocated hip put
him out for the rest of the season.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Maroon and
White team will meet Swarthmore. The
little Quaker college has, for years
been one of Lafayette's strongest ri
walls. The fact that Lafayette's coach
Wilmer G. Crowell. was one of the
greatest star that Swarthmore ever
had, always adds a touch of interest
to the contest.

undergraduates, develop her teams
without such artificial stimulants so
that she can reasonably compete with
Ter rivals. it would be best to elimin-
ate intercollegiate athletics altogether
until the dawn of an era of reason
aEleness in such things"
The committee declares that the
budget for Yale football coaching for
one year alone is considerable and
this money is expended in the en-
ployment of small number of men
for only a few weeks, while the eX-
penses of the coaching of the crew
are proportionately large.
