There are some women in Greene
vile who would make whole lot
better showing on the streets if they
would wear a few more clothes.
What clothes they do wear are too
short at the top, with the same trou-
BILE the feet. If they were saving
money by this scarcity of material
in their costumes, it would be more
excusable. But the bills on the first
of the month are just as "high" as
their skirts.

ALLIES TOOK
TEN BILLIONS
Loans to Foreign Powers
Gives u. S. Money Lead
in World,

IL 10 the short life OF the notes
which were discounted two years ago
In the United States by Great Britain
which explains the first of the pay
ments made to this country on ac-
count Of foreign loans secured here.
BY itself alone the payment repre-
sents very large amount Of money.
But In comparison with other credits
and loans which have been secured
in the United States since the war
began, and especially since this
country became one of the allies, the
amount Is small.
The other day excellent authority
estimated that oAr friends across the
sea have secured in the United
States since the war began loans and
credits aggregating $4,000, 900, 900. This
amount Is sure to be increased con-
siderabiy within the next twelve
months.
The greater part Of these creditj
or loans must be adjusted after th}
war Is over, It viii be impossible fdl
any of our debtors across the sea.f
even Great Britain, to pay OF eithe3i
In gold or In merchandise any coJn'
siderable part of these loans. T!ht
only way in which liquidation can b'
made, SO far as the financial fu'
thorities now see, Is by the inyeSt'
ment In foreign countries by fht
United States of much greater d ar
OF these obligations. II that be done
II Is sure to maintain the pres3nt'
day condition of the United Stfte'
as the leading money power OIL th'
world and the greatest OF cre efuitol
nations.

was no difficulty In marketinf this
loan for two reasons: Firsk De-
cause there was not the likshtesl
doubt as to the ability of yGrea'

provide for them when they became
