WINS LOVE OF Held DIVER.
Enemy of Dogs Gains Friendship Of
a Chivalr'Ous Bird.
est. Paul Pioneer-Press.


John Moak, city poundmaster, has
many friends, but few are aware
that his most intimate acquaintances
are Jerry and Jenny Grebe. No, they
aren't dogs. Just two little brown
birds commonly known as hell div
erS.
They took possession of pond
near his Como home ten years ago
and have returned regularly every
season. One summer night Mr.. Moak
approached the edge of the pond.
Jerry saw him coming and swan
toward the shore. Since then the
acquaintance has ripened into a deep
friendship.
Mr.. Moak has observed that the
male grebe is the most chivalrous of
birds. 1t never allows it's mate to
do mental work and is the home
builder, bread Garner, Waterman and
nurse for the family.

By ordering Eliseo Arredondo, the

American Finance Abroad.
(New York WOrld.)

The appointm of the Bank of
England as an agent of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York is hailed
as a happy solution of some Of the
financial problems arising from war.
By the purchase of British CONNER
cial paper it will be possible to sta
Billie foreign exchange at a time when
the demand for credit on one side is
excessive. 1t will render unnecessary
the sale of British treasury notes in
this country. 1t will have a tendency
to stop our importations Of gold
These are considerations based
upon temporary difficulties. OF much
greater Importance is the effect which
the arrangement will have upon
American industry and commerce in
time of peace. Europe will not long
have abandoned strife before we shall
have similar relations with the prin-
cipal bank in every nation. In that
way the American financial system,
for the first time on sound basis,
will be coupled up with the banking
energy of the world
Without such foreign connections
the progressive development Of pro-
duction in this country is impossible.
Today we sell much more than we
buy, and settlements except with gold
are becoming increasingly difficult.
When peace returns the one hope Of
maintaining and extending our foreign
commerce will rest upon o'1r wiling
ness to exchange commodities for
commodities and credit for credit. In
ternational banking may thus result
from peace, but it should also be a
guarantee Of peace
Only one obstacle presents itself.
In America as In Europe powerful in
terests are incurably devoted to trade
restrictions in the interest of privi-
1ege and monopoly. The nation which
in finance and comm cree resorts to the
fewest of these in the years to come
will lead all the rest in prosperity
and power

part Of the entente allies states that
the President has taken 1.-The liberty
of calling attention to the fact that
the objects which the statesmen Of
the belligerents on both sides have in
mind in this war are virtually the
same, as stated in general terms to
their own people and the world. Each
side desires to make the rights and
privileges of weak peoples and small
States as secure against aggression or
denial in the future as the rights and
privileges of the great and powerful
states now at war"
In truth there is much flattery in
the Presidents phrase. There may be
some misgivings as to the real desire
of some of the belligerents to foster
the rights and privileges Of the weak
peoples and the small States. There
is also some doubt existing as to the
magnanimity of purpose which would
prompt the great nations at war to see
to it that in the future these rights
and privileges are not swept aside or
denied and that the small nations shall
be as secure as the larger ones. That
is indeed a dream of Utopia. The
large nations Of Europe seem to hold
right. And few of them are beyond
suspicion. It is true that in this war
the entente allies are in the position
of avenging the despoliation of Bel
of the rights of Serbia. Their grew
ance against the American attitude
comes largely from that viewpoint.
They cannot see how the Germany
be placed on the same plane with
those nations that went out to avenge
a crime against humanity. They can
not become recOnciled to the thought
of being made partners in crime with
Prussian militarism against which
they have pledged themselves to fight
until it is completely annihilated. But
their thoughts are not the thoughts
Of America OF it's President. On this
side of the Atlantic there is a deep
with all the peoples who
are engaged in the greatest war of all
time. Despite the hot tempers that let
loose at the outbreak of hostilities and
kept this country in a constant state of
division for nearly two years, the vast
majority Of our people are neutral to
the extent that they are for American
interests over and above any special |
that might accrue from a |
victory by one side or the other in |
Europe. The worlds welfare stands |
e-eminently higher than the defeat |
Of Germany or the victory of the en-
tente powers or vice versa. That is |
the Presidents position and the sooner
the statesmen of Europe attribute to |
him motives that are right and just |
instead of maligning his action the |
better will it be for all concerned. |
