GOING TOO FAST.
Jacob III. Sehiff Says That Is
All That Ails Business.
Declares No Blame Attaches to
the administration.
WAS BOUND TO COME
AS Result of Past Decade of
Commercial Development.
Hastened by Japanese War and
Frisco Earthquake.

New York, Aug. 22.-Jacob II Schiff
the banker. who is at Bar Harbor Maine,
is quoted in a published interview on
the financial and business outlook as
saying: ITO blame the federal admins
tration for the difficulties in which we
ma ourselves is both thoughtless and
unjust. Even if the excesses which the
great prosperity of recent years has had
IN its wake had been permitted to con-
tlnue unchecked, before long a situa-
ton would have developed probably far
more dlff1cult and serious than the crisis
through which we are now passing. In
the first instance, it is a result of the
tremendous railroad, Industrial and COM
merc1a1 development of the last ten
years, which has brought about capital
requirements largely in excess of the
ability of the country to supply. Europe
finding itself in a similar position, has
been unable to extend US any credit or
place at our disposal surplus funds such
as has been its wont to invest so largely
in American securities in times of de-
pressicn.
Moreover, it has been to a great ex-
tent overlooked that the Russian-Jap-
anese war and the San Francisco earth
quake have destroyed an enormous
amount of wealth which sooner or later
had to make itself felt. Nor has the
fact that both Japan and China have
now entered into competition for the
surplus capital of the world been given
sufficient attention.
mo other remedy for this state of
affairs appears to be possible than at
least a temporary reduction in our ac-
tivities until the country's capital and
point sufficient for its volume of busi-

Protect Casa Blanca.

was issued today announcing that
General Drude, commander of the
French expeditionary forces in Mo-
rocco, will, when the reinforcements
now on their way to Casa Blanca

sidered to be sufficient to insure the
protection of the town, unless the un-
expected happens, for which emer-
gency further reinforcements are
ready to embark for Morocco.
1t is stated that as a result of the
abinet conferences and exchanges
of views with Premier Clemenceau,
who is at Marienbad, where he met
