The Conservation OF Capital.

Mr.. JAMES J. Hill has coined q new
term. -the conservation Of capital.
which without explanation conveys no
clear meaning. Addressing the Mime
sofa conservation congress on Thurs
day, Mr. HILL did not talk about farm
products or the forests OF water power.
but about capital. or the command and
Ilse Of money. After the conservation
of land. its area, uss and fertility. said
Mr. HILL. must come the conservation
OF national capital in the shape Of cash
and credit. He has already warned the
people. Of the United States that the
movement from the farm to the city
must stop or the country will soon
have to import -four and meat. Mr..
HILL now hints at national embarrass-
nent and even bankruptcy IL the people
do not practise thrift and demand care
in making appropriations from Con-
gress and the State Legislatures:
The national debt nov tends 70 RISE osnoeAlsd

ness 70 cover Treasury denciss. 10 the advocates

lavish expenditures with the idea that
the future can take care Of itself. Be-
tween 1850 and 1880 the total debt Of the
States increased sl9. S2I ,4l3. or I IS Der
cent, while in the next twelve years the
increase was VA, T7s. 3s5 or "a per cent.
-Profiigacy" SIR. HILL calls this kind OF
Government fnAnciering. He Rrowls AT

lures az Washington that usually takes

country He maintains that IL IN bad
management 10 spend with q free hand
because the country's resources are in

ton Of expenditure 20 national wealth
il growing constantly larger.
The remedy looks simple enough:
cut down appropriations and no longer
discount the future. Going back twenty
years We can note comparatively small
appropriations by national. State and
city governments. and care In still
taken in spending money in small
political divisions like towns and Dor
oughs. The lavish end irresponsible

Americans discovered that theirs waa

world The nights have been made
hiCieous by worse than MoOdus noises,
sweet sleep has vanished in strange af-
fright, and the portent has hut just been

II was not pity for the hsh that pro

Vienna, and the Austrian Parliament
gave expression TO the sympathy that
the people Of the empire felt for Russia.
Count LAroUR, an extreme Conserva-
tive Of tho old Austrian stamp, who on
account Of his connections Is Ouppesed
10 have expressed the sentiments Of the
aged Emperor. speaking in the upper
chamber said that he hoped that all
the misunderstanding created by the an
nexatiOn policy. misunderstanding due
perhaps moro 20 the method than to the
effect Of the policy might be removed.
He expressed a wish that the relations
with Russia. to whom Austria Hungary
was bound by old dynastic traditions.
by remembrance OF old alliances and
by old comradeship in arms, might
rapidly regain full cOrdiality.
These pleas for a better understand
ing, however. suddenly ceased, and a
GOODNESS became eviden. on the part Of
the Viennese press. The reason for this
was the journey Of King FERDINAND Of
Bulgaria 90 ~. Petersburg and the invi-
tations extended by the Gar TO the
Kings OF Servia and Rumania and the
Prince Of Montenegro. King FERDI-
NAND's visit was especially objection
able TO Austria. m he is reported to have
said that he feared nothing so much as
an understanding between Austria and
Russia, a. Il would put an end to his
own plans Of advancement Austria felt,
too. that the presence OF the Balkan
rulers at Sc. Petersburg would revive the
aspirations Of the Southern Slavs. which
she WINS especially anxious should be
restrained for some time TO come. One
OF the Viennsse newspapers went 80 far
a. 10 declare that Russia was playing a
double game. endeavoring to strengthen
her position in the Balkans at the ex-
pense OF Austria.
Russia in her desire 10 soosh Austrian
sslsceptibilities declared that the pur-
pose underlying the visits Of the Balkan
sOvereigns to st. Petersburg was in no
wise contrary 20 the avOwed purpose
OF the AustrO-H Hungarian policy, that
OF maintaining peace in the Balkans.
She added. too, that everything was
done during King FKRDrNASD's visit 20
convince him Of Russie's desire for
peace and OF the hopelepsness of any
attempt to lure the nation into a policy
Of adventure.
No agreement such as that which was
entered into by the countries at st.
Petersburg in 1907 or at Muerzteg in
1908 for the control Of the Balkans and
the policing Of Macedonia is likely to
have been effected. This would have a
tendency rather to disquict than 10 tran
quiIlise the Ottoman Empire, and thus
defeat the purpose which NJ. IsvoLsKY
and Count AKHRENTHAL had primarily
in view. Neither is there any reason to
believe that Austria's relation 20 Ger
many or TO the Triple Alliance will be
affected by this understand
ing. The statement regarding the COM
pact a. given out at ST. Petersburg
seems especially to preclude such an
dea, for the point IL made that the two
