WISCONSIN MAN ADDRESSES LOCAL CREDIT MERCHANTS Prof. E. H. Gardner Talks on Psychology of Collections at Meet. ' The value of credit that you instill in a man is of vastly more importance than the value of the goods you sell him, because, in giving him a proper realization of the value of the credit you extend to him you begin the development of a reliable and consistent customer," Prof. II. II. CJardner, of the Cniversity of Wisconsin, told the members of the South Hend Credit Men's association at their monthly meeting held Thursday night at Kable's banquet hall. Prof. Gardner, a speaker of naliotlputalUir on bi ..- subjects, incorporated in his address, "The Psychology of Credits and Collections." every psychological aspect of the relations of the credit man with the debtor through correspondence. Care in Writing". He brought out the value of bringing the attention of the merchantdebtor to a particular collection letter in preference to other letters through the use of Individuality and originality in the organization of such letters and through appealing to the individual Interests and tastes of the man. With the aid of a chart he pointed out the salient features of both successful and poor collection letters showing the Importance to the writer of maintaining the respect of the merchant through stressing the value of his account and good will but not reducing himself to an appeal to pity or contempt. He also stressed the advantages of using the .appeal to the merchant's sense of fair play, his good nature, his desire to .avoid annoyance and his hope for success. Dignity N " ry. The ability to retain dignity, he declared, is essential to the successful writer of collection letters. He should never ask for remittances admitting the poor condition of hN business as a ras n but should rather appeal for the cooperation of th" merchant in helping to build a blgg-r business that lu- may receive unchecked credit, and that the creditor might ontinu" to furnish him with better products. He also stressed the use of habit in asking a remittance calling attention to the fact that a 1 1 1 1 or collection letter mailed to reach the customer at Iiis us-aal date of settlement and asking for a remittance in his usual remittance form would more likely receive immodlat" attco.vrixriiD on pa;i: focid WANT INDIANA IN EPISCOPAL AREA Northern Indiana Delegates Make Keque?t at Richmond Conference.

CLAIM ALLIES DID NOT 0. K. FRANCE'S ACT
Authoritative State in eut Issued Following Conference in London. Itj Associated Prcea: UNDO.V, April. S. After a long conference which the French amb.usxador, Paul CamJjon, had with Premier Lloyd-üeore-3 Thursday, and a full discussion oZ the Franco(ierman Incident by the cabinet council, at which the French view was fully explained to the .British, ministers, an authoritative statement wa,s issued to the effect that France acted entirely on her own initiative in deciding to oocupy German towns; that England, the United States Belgium and Italywere all opposed to the plan and tliat Fiance's action Lad caused a delicate, situation. .May liiso Situation. The matter is under discussion of the British and French governments and the hope is expressed that the situation may be eased. The statement recites various expedients suggested for dealing with the Kühr situation, among1 others the sending of allied officers with the German troops to supervise the German withdrawal. Another alternative was that the decision should be left with the German government, with the stipulation that unless the status quo was sufficiently restored, the allies themselves would occupy German points to enforce their demands. The statement proceeds: "The German government appears to have acted precipitately, and France to have responded by adopting a plan which was only intended as a last resort method, and even then to have been the affair of the. .allies and not of any one of them simply." Germany's Task. Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and the United States, it i3 declared, all felt that the ta.sk of restoring order shall lie with Germany, and all were opposed to their regular forces being called upon, except as a last resort, to undertake what are virtually police duties. It Jsi pointed out that Franco feared Fome ulterior motive on the part of Germany and doubtless acted in good faith, but. adds the statement, "the immediate result is that the responsibility for her action cannot be shared by the allies as a whole, and certainly there is no intention on the part of the British government to allow British soldiers to act a.s police between hostile German factions and incur all the odium of such a, position, to s.ay nothing of its risks." Jsue Statement. The statement concludes. "If. and when France's suspicions of Germany's ulterior motives and deliberate Haunting of the terms of the peace treaty become- accomplished facts, the allies would doubtless be prepared to act instantly and vigorously in concert to vindicate the position and respect for the provisions of the treaty, but for the time being it may be t iken that no British soldier will participate in the iwcupation of German cities in th" neutral zone" MWI i: POMTION. WASHINGTON. April S. So far as ean be learned h'ie, state department action in regard to th-' Kühr incident lias been confined to an expression of opinion to th effect that the German government should be permitted to send into the Kühr valley any reasonable numb r of troops necessary to restore order in that ,-o-tiiin and to maintain its supremacy. This position was cl ariy stated by the department about 1 days ago in answer to an inquiry Irom th" Germ.an government as to the w illinpnoss of the entente power and America to allow such a force to go into the disturbed country. The French government was fully informed of the American position and so far as can be learned, while (CONTINFKI) ON PAGK FOUR.)
