abroad. 'It is probable that our net
debt to foreign countries was prac-
tically extinguished about two years
ago." declared Mr.. Rovensky.
During the war, up to July l. 1913
the United tates exported merchan-
disc in excess OF its imports to the ex-
tent OF about $4,000, 100000. In re-
turn the United States arranged to
lend its Allies and other foreign coun-
tries about $500 600, 900, 1t received
American securities to the amount OF
about $4,000, 900, 900 and $1,000, 00O,0 900
In gold; a total of $40 500, 100000.
Mr.. Rovensky estimated that after
the war the United States would re-
ceive from foreign nations annually
$3.50 100000 in interest on Its loans;
instead of having to pay about $lIo,-
100000 annually in interest as 1t dld
before the war. Against this there
would be charged items of payment TO
! foreign countries amounting to $685.
00O, 900, leaving a net annual income to
! the United States Of about $175,0OO,-
900. To this added an annual net
trade balance in favor of the United
States of about $49O,000,00O. This
made a total of credits annually piline
up in favor of the United States OF
$685., 100000.
Mr.. Rovensky intimated that the
United States would find it profitable
after the war to leave its $9,000.00O,
| 900 investment abroad and to reinvest
abroad the income from it by purchase
of securities Of foreign railways
steamship companies, manufacturing
mining and other enterprises.

War Service in Right Place.
The purpose in the appointing of
advisers is to place men where they
can do most to help win the war.
These advisers will be able to help
greatly the district boards to keep in
agriculture the necessary workers.
| These workers, whatever may be their
/ inclination to enter military service,
i should stand ready to serve in any
capacity in which they can contribute
most toward a speedy ending OF the
war. In order that this may pc done
frank statement should, in each
case be made to the boards. 1t is be-
! lieved that it will frequently require
as much courage on the part OF many
men to remain in their civilian occupa-
tions as to waive deferment.
This effort to keep men in industry,
rather than to send them to the camps
and the trenches, should not be abused
so as to permit the sla cker to escape
military duty. The necessities for
raising an army are paramount. Every
man that can be spared will be need
ed and needed badly to bring the en-
envy to his senses. The adviser
should be assisted in every possible
way by every legitimate agricultural
interest to find the meme that can bee
spared for military duty, but also te
keep those that are essential to the
maintenance of proper food supply

WELFARE HOUSE FOR
AMERICAN SOLDIERS

LONDON, England, Sept. 19-On
August l, as already announced in
cable dispatch to The Christian
Science Monitor, the Christian Science
Welfare House, for the use of the al
lied forces, was opened at III Eaton
Square, London S. w. l. Week after
week fresh contingents are being ad-
ded to the vast American army already
transported across the Atlantic; con-
sequently thousands of soldiers and
sailors now find temporary home in
the little island from which their fore
fathers set sail in quest OF liberty
three centuries ago. The Welfare
House is primarily intended for the
convenience Of those officers and men
of the United States army and navy
who are interested in Christian
Science, but a welcome will also be
extended to any sailor or soldier who
desires to come.
The Christian Science Welfare
House is situated in convenient CEN
ter, close to the American Embassy
and the busy thoroughfare around Vic
toria Station.
The house is designed to help and
befriend in every way the men of the
a llied forces. 1t is actuated by the
desire to do everything to make the
men feel as much at home as possible.
The reception rooms, it is hoped, will
provide an accessible place where
friends can meet, while for the con
venience of the men an information
| bureau will be open from 10 a. m. till
p. M, and register will be kept
of the addresses of those who let
rooms or axe in boarders. The buresu
will also be prepared to make ar
| rangements for those officers or men
on leave who wish to spend a quiet
| time in the country. while for those
anxious to see something of the sights
of London expeditions to interesting
parts of the city, including picture gal
leries and museums, will be planned
and the bureau will always be ready
with the names of hosts and hostesse
willing to invite officers and men,
singly or in small parties, to their
| houses, so that all who desire may
share the social intercourse that can
only be enjoyed in the midst of home
! life.

mine Future.

NEW YORK, Sept 19-The general

the future moulders should be requir-
ed to work more than eight hours 4

and directed appointment Of perma-
nent committee of four to decide when

sizes involving the question Of he
lengh of he working day"

DENVER, Col, Sept. 19.-Other ma
lions probably will owe the United
States nearly $4,000, 600. 900 at the end
of the war II it should come about a
year hence. John e. Rovensky. OF New
York, told the bankers assembled here
today in the national convention OF the
American Institute Of Bankers. Mr..
Rovensky is vice president OF the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, Of New
York.
The world now owes the United
States about $57s5. 900. 900, Mr.. Ro-
vensky said and he estimated that
this would be increased within year
by about $4,000. 100000.
by the time the war Is over" said
Mr.. Rovensky, America will be one
OF the leading creditor nations OF the
world q financial center from which
a large part OF the worlds economic
forces will be directed; where the
debts and credits of the worlds trade
will to a large extent be cast up and
be settled.
World banking on scale hereto
fore undreaned Of will be the order OF
the day. The star OF financial and
economic supremacy that has been
a -
civilization and that now rests over
London, will again move onward In its
course and cross the Atlantic. In con-
templating this picture there spreads
before our eyes vista of world OF
boundless opportunities which awaits
young American bankers OF the pres,
ent generation.
Mr.. Rovensky reached these conclus
ions 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 $4,000, 100000
The United States paid annually tc
foreign countries a net amount OF
| $500, 100000 in interest on our debt
| freight charges, remittances to for
| eign laborers, expenditures Of Amer
lean tourists, insurance premiums and
sundry items.
| After the beginning OF the war the
United States repaid its debt to for
| eign countries very rapidly by pur
chasing American securities helt
