HOW WILL ALLIES PAY DEBT?
England and France Said to Be in
Peculiar Fasition of Financial
Distress.
England’s foreign investments are
not owned by the government, but by
Individuals, and they will not seil;
and there seems as yet no way to
compel them. American securities are
the only ones that appeal to the Brit-
ish and French investors at this mo-
ment as being good.
What no financial expert ever pre-
dicted was the amazing trouble that
Engiand and France would have in
paying for the equipment purchased in
this country. It has been thought
that these two creditor nations would
merely have to sell their foreign se-
curities, or merely stop making for-
eign investments, to have all the
money they needed. Sir George Par-
ish, a representative of the British
treasury, came to this country last
winter and boastfully told his inter-
viewers and hosts that England could
fight on for five years merely on the
interest from its foreign investments
—an assertion that Sir George proba-
bly wishes he had never made. Even
$5,000,000,000 and the $2,000,000,000
this country and Argentina respec-
tively owe Great Britain; but he has
long since change his tune. England
and France are in a position of pecu-
liar financial distress, Albert W. At-
wood asserts in the Saturday Evening
Post. They are buying war equipment
in this country on a gigantic scale.
They are exporting practically nothing
to this country, and their inhabitants
will not or cannot sell American se-
curities back to America. They have
nothing to pay with but gold, and they

cannot afford to lose gold.
France is in an even more embar- |
rassing position. She has gone mad |
for years over epargnes—savings.
The average Frenchman would rather |
go without clothes and fcod at the
present moment than sell his Ameri-
can securities at a loss. A friend of
mine in New York recently received a
letter from a French banker in which
it was said that only one thing gave
his clients une grande quietude at the
present moment, and that was their
holdings of American stocks and
bonds.
Wherever you go in France today
you will find American investments
held intact; for the Frenchman will
tell you that if he sells others will do
the same, and that would put down
the price of American securities—
“which would never do.” . :

Schwartz, known to the world of let-
ters as Maarten Maartens, the one

to be proud, a writer in the Brooklyn
In some respect he
was the leader of the world in novel
making. His breadth of sympathy,
his keenness of observation, his ha-
tred of sham, his gentle humor, made
“God’s Fool,” “The Sin of Joost Ave-
lingh,” “Dorothea,” “The Healers”
and a dozen other works familiar to
readers in every land, and there was
a grave loss to the world of letters as
well as to his native country in his
passing.
“Maarten Maartens” lived much in
Paris. He loved to be in the world
and of the world. But his work was
mostly done in the old castle of Zon-
heuvel, near Dcorn. With Maurice
Maeterlinck, the Belgian, he kept the
literary art of the “low countries” in
the world’s van. To Americans his
skill was a delight, losing little in
translation. He might be called the
Dutch Thackeray without much
stretching of the imagination. He had
much in common with the author of
“Vanity Fair,” and his works are
bound to live as long as “Pendennis”
or “Henry Esmond.”
Try This.
If you will take a pavement that is
clear, and walk briskly in the center,
you will find that before you have
gone 50 yards you have unconsciously
veered very much to one side. To
make this test accurate you must not
uce any effort to keep in the center.
If you think of something else and
endeavor to walk naturally, you will
find that you are not able to keep
going in a straight line. In the same
way a person lost in a wide expanse
! of level country will describe a com-
plete circle as he keeps walking on
and on. The explanation of this lies
in the propensity of one foot to walk
faster than the other, or to take a
longer stride than the other, causing
you to veer to one side or the other.

Writer's Testimony Is That Scandina-
vian Women Have Proved Their
Right to It.
An old story much believed was that
Charles XII of Sweden was a woman.
He wasn’t; but if Scandinavian women
showed the capacity for public affairs
in his day that they are showing now
it was not surprising that even mili-
tary genius was ascribed to a woman.
All those old viking countries of the
North are today further advanced in |
woman's rights than any other coun-
tries. Norway, Denmark and Finland
and Iceland have practically equal po-
litical and industrial rights of men and
women. Sweden's promised law for
that equality has been held back only
because the critical conditions the
great war has produced have subor-
dinated every other question. And
Sweden was the first country or.state
where the municipal vote was given to
women.
' Mabel Potter Daggett writes in the
Pictorial Review that these free wom-
en of the North, as she calls them, are
as good housewives and as capable and
womanly mothers and wives as they
ever were or as can be found any-
where. These women, who have elect-
ed members of national parliaments
and of town councils, whose industrial |
and economic councils and clubs and |
organizations have as effective a voice !
as those of men—these women have |
sunk none of their feminine values in
their values as feminists.
In tradition and history the mothers.
and wives and daughters of the ancient |
Northmen shared the hardships and |
the daring, and shared the heroic vir- |
tues of the men. It is not a violent |
change that in an age of different ac: |
tions and perplexities they should as:
sume their different share and retain
their corresponding virtues.—Kansas
“Rag-Time."”
Rag-time music, “being in no wise
serious,” is the reverse of depressing.
“The African jingles of the present |
day create an emotional atmosphere
of restlessness and excitement which
is typically American, and which is
opposed to health only so far as our
national restlessness and lack of poise
tend to make us a people whose na-
tional disease is nervous exhaustion.”
Roughly speaking, lively music,
such as rag-time, is likely to rouse de-
pressed persons from their melan-
choly; sad and pathetic music will
soothe the excitable and hypernerv-
ous.
