WIDESPREAD COMMENT.
Special to The Journal.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE statement
made the other day on his return from
England by James NJ. Beck. former
deputy attorney general of the United
States and now chief counsel for the
Sugar trust, that war was imminent
between England, Germany and
France, has been the subject Of wide
spread comment here this week. Com
ing on the eve of the signing Of the
arbitration agreement between the
United States and England consum
mated last week in Washington, IL was
considered as a pertinent argument
among international peace advocates
for the worldwide extension of the
policy of a court of reference for all
disputes.
Mr.. Beck went to London recently to
assist in the decidation at the church
Of All Hallows, of the memorial to
William Penn, Apostle of Peace and
founder of the Quaker colony in the
state Of Pennsylvania On his re-
turn here he said conditions abroad
looked ominous.
In all of my trips" he said, II
have never seen Englishmen so
wrought up over peace conditions. The
concensus is that peace Is at an end
and that IL will not be long before Eng
land, France and Germany are involved
in a bitter war"

FLINT EXPLAINS RESIGNATION
FROM THE COMMIS SlON

Los Angeles, Aug. 14.-Former Unit
ed States Senator Frank P. Flint, eX-
planning his resignation from the
monetary commission yesterday, said:
This commission might, under prop
er conditions, accomplish a great deal
Of good, but a business man 5000 miles
from the seat Of government cannot
give this vital matter the attention
It should have.
TT is my conviction that board
should have been made up entirely of
members of congress. AS a matter Of
fact, I think 1t unlikely that the COM
mission made up mainly Of former
members of congress would be able to
embody in a bill that would meet the
approval Of the present congress the
monetary reforms that are needed.
For all these rea sons and others
decided some time ago to send in my
resignation as soon as an opportunity
presented itself"
