Waterville lightweight, under the
watchful eye of his manager, H. J.
Higins .for his bout with Ira Put
nam. the Aroostook champ, which
will be staged in Fort Fairfield tlie
2Sth.
The case of the mysterious disap
pearance of Zedor Toulouse of the
Ten I-ots in Fairfield center, who
has been missing a week today, has
taken a new twist. A letter from a
Boston baking concern, has been
found in which the firm states that
there is at present no opportunity
for Mr. Toulouse to find work with
it. It is thought that Mr. Toulouse
wrote to Boston to find work, and,
not finding it. decided to go to Bos
ton in search of it himself. From
this it appears that his desappear
ance was not the whim of a moment
nor the result of mental troubles
from his recent illness, but was
rather the part of a prearranged and
well thought out plan. In spite of
these facts, some of his relatives are
inclined even now to doubt that he
has ever gone to Boston or has even
left the Fairfield region. They ex
press the idea that lie is within
reach somewhere near Watervillo or
Fairfield, blit they have no definite
idea as to just where he can be
found.

Legion Dinner Fund
Every citizen of Waterville is ask
ed to give what he can to the fund
which is to be used for the purpose
of providing a dinner to the Ameri
can Legion, when it meets here the
27th and 2Sth of this month for its
State convention. Several hundred
out of town guests will he here for
the occasion, and Waterville is de
termined that this dinner shall be
one that the boys will remember.
A committee of the chamber of
Commerce has been appointed to
take charge of the affair and to
make all arrangements, including
the raising of the money. This com
mittee. however, is acting for the
whole city, as this dinner is to be
given the Legion by the whole com
munity.
In case there should be any money
left over, after all bills have been
paid, it will be turned over to the
treasury of the local post of the
Legion, who. no doubt, could find
good uses for it.
While the business men are to be
solicited, all interested in the boys
and desiring to show their appre
ciation of what the boys did for us
are also requested to give. The
money may be sent to Carl C. Piper,
treasurer of the committee in charge,
or to the Chamber of Commerce. It
is requested that all checks be made
payable to Mr. Piper.
Waterville has another chance to
“«• over the top” for the boys, and,

THE HAR9GR OF NEV/CHWANG.A TREATY PORT
W MANCHURIA,CHINA INVITES OUR GOODS
TO THE FAR EAST, ©u.tu. '
By FRANCIS H. SISSON,
Vice President Guaranty Trust
Company of New York.
THE most remarkable fea
ture of the expansion of
our foreign trade is the
wide difference between
exports and imports. From the
outbreak of the war in 1914 to the
end of 1918 the excess of our ex
ports over our imports reached a
total of more than 811,000.000,000.
This excess has continued to grow
until for the whole period of the
war and armistice to the end of
1920 the total excess is nearly $19,
000.000,000. The question is nat
urally raised of how foreign buy
ers pay for our goods.
The exports front a country are
in effect paid for in large part by
the imports, and only so much of
the total ex-ports as is in excess of
imports must be liquidated by other
forms of payment. Such trade def
icits are usually met by tbe ship
ment of gold.
It was not desirable, however,
that France and Great Britain
should pay all their debts to this
country in gold. By the end of
1917 we had $3,041,500,000 in gold,
or about one-third of the world's to
t.-W stock of gold in hanks, public
treasuries and circulation
In fact, all the gold in the world
would have been insufficient to pay
I
it
"T our poods which had been ex
ported in excess of our imports.
Payments in various invisible
ways rather than in gold were the
means used for liquidating t^he
great excess in our merchandise
export trade. American capital has
been exported in large amounts
during the last six years for invest
ment, for speculation and develop
ments. for charity, freight, insur
ance and travel.
The amount of the various for
eign lonns floated through invest
ment bankers in the United States
since duly. 1914, and outstanding
December 31. 1920. total $1,980,717,
727. This total is exclusive of $426.
458.458 loaned before duly, 1914,
and still outstanding and of loans
or credits extended and repaid with
in Hie period, such ns tiie $500.<WO.
000 Anglo-French 5% already .men
tioned.
By the spring of 1917 the task of
financing our huge export trade had
taxed the resources of our private
the busy port of riooe JANEIRO
THROUGH WHICH AMERICAN 6000*
ARE SEEKING A RICH SOUTH
AMERICAN MARKET.
Investment Institutions to tl.elr lim
it, and new sources of funds had to
he found if our foreign trade was to
be continued on the scale which the
war demanded. Once in that strug
gle, we sent our men and our mate
ria] to Europe to win it. Hut we did
more. Our government, appealing
10 the patriotism of its citizens,
raised hitherto unheard of sums, a
total of $20,500,701,018 by August
31. 1010, and of this total loaned
more titan one-fourth to otir associ
! ates in the war.
Money advanced against credits
established by the United States
Government from April 24. 1017, to
November 15, 1020, in favor of for
eign governments to enable them to
meet commitments made in this
i country in connection with the pros
ecution of the war totals $9,580.
823.077.18. of ' hich $114,540,505.03
has been repaid.
Precisely as the loaning of money

came associated in the prosecution

of tli<» war was one of the first
forms of aid rendered b.v the United
States, so it was one of the last.
During the first six months of the
armistice our government needed
nil the funds that could he raised hi
the home market.
The excess of our exports over
our imports grew rapidly in tills
period. In order to support the
trade it was necessary for our Gov
ernment to continue granting cred
its to other countries until private
financing could again take up tin.1
task.
We must, however, include among
our invisible items of foreign trade
$1.4!t0.r>57.lll. representing Kn r<h,
French and Italian currencies p'm-ed
at the disposal of our Government
I by those countries for the purchase
: abroad of materials needed by our
Army in the prosecution of the war.
Tlierefote the total of our Govern
ment expenditure directly support
ing our foreign trade from liMT to
; 19U0 readies about $11.000.090 000.
On the credit side of the balance
should be added items of payment
covering Interest and dividends up
on American capital in use In other
countries, bankers’ profits, freights
and insured losses paid. The total
of these and other payments will
raise somewhat our debit balance
of $5,609.934.404. which must be met
by invisible items of unknown total
amounts.
On the debit side we must place
the various forms of American cap

Hal transferred to other eonntr!e*
The principal item of American
capita! sent oveYjeas during the
war was for the purpose of repur
chasing the securities of American
companies in which investments
had heen made by European eapi
talists before 1014. According to
the most reliable estimates, ap
proximately $2,000,000,000 of such
securities had been repurchased hy
America before our entrance Into
the war. It seems reasonable to
suppose that not far from $8,000.
000,000 of American securities had
been repurchased up to the end of
1020. This repurchase resulted in
reducing our capital indebtedness
abroad by more than fifty per ceat.
Charges for interest and divi
dends on American securities re
maining in tiie possession of fnr
' cign holders form another invisible
item of the balance. In the same
I class are charges for insurance
: premiums, for freights, and for
i traveling expenses of American
I tourists abroad.
American fund® have also been
sent abroad for the purpose of
purchasing depreciated foreign cur
rency lionds, bank notes and ex
change.
The remittances of Immigrants
and of our relief organizations form
'another invisible item of no small
amount.
American capital, attracted by
the hope of profits in the compara
tively undeveloped parts of the
eartli. is the last invisible item of
considerable importance.

The car had been left at an Oak
land garage for repairs. The repairs
had been made and Mr. Mitchell was
giving the car a trial spin. Ho turned
toward the ditch to let anolher car

cleaing off the running gear entirely
from that si da. The car w-as a total
wreck. Mr. Mitchell was. luckily, un
hurt except for a slightly cut arm.
If the car had gone the whole way

Corp. Jenness’ Body Lies
In State at City Hall
The body of Corporal Albert Jen
ness., who w'as killed in action in
France on Sunday morning, October
27. 1»1S, lay in state in the armory
Saturday evening, draped with the na
tion’s flag, surrounded by mourners,
guarded by tiis former comradt s. The
body was brought from the home at
22 Kelsey street, escorted by a platoon
of soldiers, an 1 will be taken toda) to
the Sacred Heart church, where, fu
neral services will he held.
Corporal Jenness was killed in the
Meuse-Argonno offensive when the
10:!d was supporting the 102d Regi
ment. which was undergoing heavy
tire from the enemy. The platoon of

taker, from the armory at K..irt and tne
cortege will proceed to the Common,
then up Main street to Postoffice

XO ONE HURT WHEN
TRUCK COMES TO GRIEF
A mptor truck owned by the Mitch
ell Brothers’ trucking company and
driven by Charles Mitchell, carrying a
ferris wheel from Pray s held into the
city at an early hour Sunday morn
ing, ran too close to the edge of the
road on the farther side of the Gilman
street bridge and came to grief. The
wheels of the truck on the side near
the edge of the road went over the
edge and fell down into the ditch, top
pling the load and the truck ever on
: its side. Tiie road drops away at that
■point to a deep ditch, and tin weight
'of the load added to its clumsiness was
| enough to force the wheels down when
| they got a bit too far over. What pro*
i vented the*!oad l'mm turning the truck
j clear over and crushing the men in
1 charge of it is unknown. As it was.
1 the truck had to he unloaded and put
back into the middle of the r< ad. while
i the ferris wheel went on into town in
tow of some horses which were con
i sldered rn''re practicable than the truck
, for moving such a load.
No one was hurt except that Mr.
i Mitchell's lingers were somewhat
bruised.
CAUTIOUSNESS
(Continued from Page One;
* may do. The British government is
j dialing with him."
i "We are expecting word from
; Downing Street tonight, announcing
| the time for tomorrow’s meeting be
tween Mr de Valera and Mr l.loyd
i George", said one member of the de
j Valera party. “What will happen
| afterwards is entirely problemati
I cal.”
Mr. de Valera this evening issued
| the following statement:
I "The press gives the Impression
| that. I hat e been making certain
: compromise demands. 1 have made
i no demands but one- -the only one I
: am entitled to make. That is that
the self-determination of the Irish
nation shall be recognized."
To Meet Again Today
T.ondon. July 17 (Mv Tire Associated
Press) The discussions between
Premier l.loyd George and Flaraonn
de Valera with the object of finding
a, basis for a general conference on
the Irish situation, nil! be resumed
tomorrow. It is probable also that
! Sir James Craig, the Plater Premier,
will confer with the Prime Minister.
1 But whether Mr. l.loyd George, Mr.
de Valera and the Plster Premie r will
! meet together for a general exchange
!of views is not known. A spokesman
!of the Sinn Fein has said that this is
not possible, as the head of the Plster
1 government is considered by de Vale
■ ra as outside the pale of present no
; gotiations, so far as the representa
Itives of southern Ireland are con
| cerned.
This has been the quietest week-end
i in Irish annals since January, 1913,
: when the Extremist Sinn Fein cam
' paign began. There was no hint of
t disorder, even in Belfast, where, ac
cording to the Associated Press cor
respondent. Colonel Duffy. Republican
: l.iasionn officer for Plster county, has
j put a stop to Sinn \ Fein activities.
Troops, however, are’ still patrolling
(the streets ar.d the police are carry
ing revolvers.
The Prime Minister spent Sunday
at his country residence. Chequers
Court, where it is presumed he was
jin consultation with members of his
cabinet and other advisers. The Irish
republican leader, who had a com
parative day of rest, issued a new
manifesto, insisting upon adherence
to self-determination. In his declar
ation he says:
I have no demand to make but one
!—tin only one I am entitled to make.
That is that the s* lf-determinution of
the rish na ion shall bo recognized.”
Mr. de Valera has already said that
'ns he had received a mandate for a
lepublic from the Irish people he
I could not withdraw from that posi
tion unless so instructed by the peo
ple themselves. It is considered pos
sible il at he may receive the govern
ment proposals, modified by his own
views, conditional on their submission
! later to the Irish people for their de
I vision.
