How the war has changed all this
Is pointed out by Robert Stevenson
OF the board of governors of the
Investment Bankers Association of
America. h cites the recent Jap

important position in world trade.
The war" said Mr.. Stevenson,
brought back to this country the
great bulk of American securities
held by foreigners. 1t changed the
United States from a borrowing ma
ton to the creditor country of the
world. We have more than half the
worlds gold. This is an advantage
and n disadvantage. 1t gives us n
huge capital supply to work with
and produce more goods but 1t also

not accept payment in their goods.
That would curtail u own produc-
ton. Plainly, America can gain a
great outlet for its products by ex-
tending longtime credits to other
countries where sound credit ar
rangements can be made as in the
case of Japan.
THE Japanese loan of 10000
600 in this country was oversub-
scribed by almost 800. 900. 900. At
the same time the English quickly
subscribed to $4,000, 900 pounds
sterling, about 100000 900, of Jap
anese bonds. The japanese will
spend a large part of the loan for
American materials, Thus the Unit

FLORENCE. Ala. Feb. 10.-People of the Tennessee valley are elated over the outcome of the referendum con ducted by the Mobile Register and News Item when the citizens of that community voted 700 to l in favor of the acceptance of the Henry Ford bid for Muscle Shoals. thereby repudi- ating the action of Mayor R. Y. Taylor in appearing before the military af- to the bid and in favor of the one made by the Alabama Power company.
 Immediately following the testimony of Mayor Taylor, the Florence Cham Der of Commerce and prominent citizens of Sheffield sent telegrams to Harry T. Hartwell, commissioner of Mobile, asking what percentage of the popula- tion of the Gulf City was represented in the sentiments expressed by Mir. Taylor, and the answer. published in today's Age-Herald, is enough to please the citizens of this community. who have always considered Mobile one of the strongest champions for the offer of Henry Ford.
 Since Taylor's testimony before the House committee his attitude has been the topic of discussion at commercial and civic gatherings throughout the Tennessee valley. Now that the people of Mobile have so decisively repudiated their mayor and lined up 1856 to 17 for Ford through the opportunity of fered by the progressive newspapers of that city, their action will be brought to the attention of the chambers of commerce at their regular meetings this week.

 Glenn Dorsey. the second Louisiana speaker, cited letters from consul -gener- als throughout the world, showing the inability of approximately twenty coun- tries to manufacture their own muni- tions.
 He said it would place the United States, France. England, Japan and another country in virtual control of the manufacture of arms.

STRANGERS SERVE
 AS LOVING FRIENDS
Unidentified Young Woman Is
 Tenderly Laid To Rest

DALLAS, Tex. Feb.r -lu.-Stranger laid to rest here yesterday the body of young woman which had remained unclaimed in an undertaking establish ment since last November II. Three hundred persons attended the simple funeral ceremony that proceeded the burial of Mrs. R. H. Walders or Wal ters, with a profusion of the floral tokens that are usually the last tribute of loving friends. Many persons were unable to gain admission to the chapel.
 The woman,' apparently about "A years old, died at local hospital after a brief illness and operation. A few days previous, she had registered with a man who said he was her husband at hotel here from Little Rock, Ark ansas, and later went to a rooming house. When death occurred her hus- band, who had represented himself as having served in the World war as an aviator, disappeared and efforts to locate him have failed.
 A nationwide search failed to find relatives or friends of the woman. More than. POO telegrams were received .ceneerning her and it was estimated that more than 10000 persons viewed the body at the undertaking establish ment, but no one knew or claimed her. Nevertheless, every day frseh flowers were in the private room where the body lay, placed there by the sym pathizing public.
 Local umdertakers, rather than let the body be buried in potter's field, provided a casket, white and trimmed with silver, and purchased lot in cemetery. Shortly before her death, the woman told hospital attendants that she was of the Baptist faith. Dr. Wallace Bassett, pastor of Cliff Temple Baptist church, officiated at her fu- neral today.
