WINTERS NIGH

When the autumn leaves are falling
and the nights are growing long
And the hordes Of noisy crickets sere-
made us with their song.
When the robins and the bluebirds
start their journey to the south,
And the steam in early morning blows
profusely from your mouth;
Then you ponder, yes, you ponder, for
you know that winters nigh,
And your pulse slows down little and
it makes you heave a sigh,
And you think of all the pleasure
where you've blown your hard earn
ed kale, 49,.
And your pocketbook's condition
makes you turn tritie pale,
For those B. V. DIS you're wearing,
which in summer were so fine,
Make you hump up like camel as
the cold, shoots up your spine.
Summer wages you have wasted and
the price of wool is high,
And. the hump keeps growing bigger,
for you've not enough to buy
Any of those feecy garments that
fit around you nice and snug,
And you think you'll have to freeze
up like a beetle or bug,
To thaw out again months after in
the joyful days of spring,
Then to find those old B. V. DIS are
again the very thing.
@ J. B. Lyon.

They Had Fitted Up Nice Quarters in

With the American Army on the Lor.
raine Front, Sept, l7.-fBy the Associ.
ated Press The Germans apparently
never expected to be ousted from the
St Mihiel salient They had done much
work in building shelters and beer gar
dens, and about the Souleveie farm the
country had been made to look like a
prosperous German neighborhood, with
resorts where townspeople might spend
their holidays.
Little clubhouses were built and
equipped not wholly in keeping with
front-line operations The dugouts and
shelters of the officers were fitted almost
Iuxuriously, some of the larger ones be.
ing fitted with bathtubs and running
water and lighted by electricity. Out
side of many of them were little sum
mer houses, where the occupants were ac-
customed to sit and drink beer

World WILL OWE NINE
BILLIONS TO u. S. A
At the End of the War, Providing the
War Should Last Another Year, Says
John E. Rovensky, New
York Banker.

Denver, Col, Sept. l9.-Other nations
probably will owe the United States
nearly $9,OOO,000,O0O at the end Of the
war if it should come about year hence,
John E. Rovensky Of New York told the
bankers assembled here to-day in the
national convention of the American In
stitute Of Bankers. Mr. Rovensky is
vice-president of the National Bank of
Commerce, OF New York.
The world now owes the United States
about $5,765, 100000, Mr.. Rovensky said,
and he estimated that this would be in
creased within year by about $3,000,-
100000
by the time the war is over" said
Mr.. Rovensky, America will be one of
the leading creditor nations of the world,
financial center from which large part
of the worlds economic forces will be
directed where the debts and credits of
the worlds trade will to large extent
be cast up and be settled
World banking on scale heretofore
undreamed of will be the order of the
day. The star of financial and economic
supremacy that has been travelling west
ward since the dawn of civilization and
that now rests over London, will again
move onward in its course and cross the
Atlantic. In contemplating this picture
there spreads before our eyes a vista of
world Of boundless opportunities which
awaits young American bankers of the
present generation"
Mr. Rovensky reached these conclu-
sions by an interesting analysis of the
international financial position Of the
United States. He said that when the
war began the United States net debt
to the world was about S3,h00,000.0 900.
The United States paid annually to for.
eign countries net amount of $500,00O-
600 in interest on our debt, freight
charges remittances to foreign laborers,
expenditures of American tourists, insur-
ance premiums and sundry items
After the beginning of the war the
United States repaid its debt to foreign
countries very rapidly by purchasing
American securities held abroad. ut is
probable that our net debt to foreign
countries was practically extinguished
about two years ago" declared Mr. Ro-
vensky.
DuIlhS Vhe war, up 10 July l, lBlo, the
United States exported merchandise in
excess of its imports to the extent Of
about $l0,000000,0 600 In return, the
United States arranged to lend its allies
and other foreign countries about 81 800
100000 it received American securities
to the amount of about $1,000 900 900
and $l,000000000 in gold; total of
Sl0,5O0O00,0O0
Mr., Royensky estimated that after the
