CHICAGO. Oct. 22 (Special.) There
Is a marked contrast between the ten
dency of the American people and those
of the Old World at this time in the
matter of thrift, in America business
has been so active and profits In many
Instances bo large that the American
people appear to be spending money
In a reckless manner and to be Indulg
ing In extravagances, which, a few
years ago. would have spelled ruin.
The whole world is spending money
recklessly, but across the Atlantic the
expenditures are confined chiefly to
governmental agencies, while the peo
ple are paying the bills. It is this
supply of money that has forced In
vestors to dig deep into their strong
boxes and bring forth certificates of
American investment-bearing dates of
& quarter century or more ago.
Aloney Growing? Cheaper.
The tremendous Influx of gold Into
this country, following the enormous
Inpouring of foreign trade, together
with the inability of the American
banking and currency systen to adjust
Itself to these abnormal conditions, has
tended to make money cheap.
Advices from Germany tell the old
story of economy forced by necessity.
Henry Baker, the special commercial
attache of the American legation at
Petrograd. gives the informtaion that
little or no gold or silver is circulating
in Russia. 1
There is a tendency abr ad. however,
to conserve resources, whiie the tenden
cy in America is to be more lavish In
expenditures.
Thera is an element of thrift among
the more conservative business men.

ing'bonds as the means of employing
their accumulations of profit rather
than allow these funds to remain in the
banks drawing the interest of the
daily balance.
Securities Absorbed Rapidly.
In the selection of bonds these cor
poration managers are discriminating,
but a vast amount of high-grade se
curities is being absorbed in this coun
try. This, together with the tendency
of the individual investor to absorb
bonds as they are offered, has not only
enabled American investors to take the
offerings coming from abroad, but has
stimulated the price.
Since the end of August there has
been an advance In average bond prices
cf nearly a point and a half, and it is
reassuring to note that while thg ad

Small, Dirty Town. With Practically
No Trade, Develops Tremen
dously Under Stimulus of Set
' tlement by Foreigners.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Seizure by
French troops of an additional square
mile of territory contiguous to the
French concession In Tien-tsin, in de
fiance of the Chinese Foreign Office,
just reported in cable dispatches from.
Pekln, brings to the front one of the
most complicated and most romantic
points of conflict between old China and
the Western world.
Officials here indicated today that as
an international affair little importance
was attached to France's action.
Tien-tsin, back in the days when for
eign ambassadors sought admission to
China in vain, merely was a small, dirty
town, with practically no trade. In
1860, after the British and French had
forced their way over the Taku forts
and humbled the Manchus at Pekin, the
right of residence was granted to the
subjects of the two countries.
American Rights Abandoned.
The United States, an Interested on
looker, won the same right soon aft
erward, and Germany entered into the
arrangement in 1861. Separate sections
for the four nationalities were set aside
and small local centers of residence and
trade grew up. In a few years, how
ever, the American Government aban
doned Its settlement, first, because it
had no use for it, and no money to pay
for It. and, second, because, under the
conditions it had become known as the
middle kingdom" between the German
and British concessions, where all sorts
of lawlessness prevailed.
Tien-tsin grew fast, and construction
of the railroad In 1897 made Tien-tsin
the premier city of that whole vast sec
tion. In 1900 came the boxer rebellion.
when Tien-tsin became the base for the
march of the nations on the capital.
Landings In Foreign Handa.
In 1894 Japan secured a settlement In
the city, and after 1900, Russia, Bel
gium, Italy and Austria obtained con
cessions on the left bank of the river,
making nine foreign nations holding
and administering small slices of territory.
As a result, all landings for sea
going vessels in the biggest port of
North China are in foreign hands.
Nevertheless, the city has developed
