THE FINANCIERS AND THE
WAR LORDS.

"Thrice armed is he that hath his
quarrel just Germany had to face q
generally hostile world opinion in con-
nection with her Agadir aggressions.
But that would not have weighed so
much against the heaviest battalions
if the moneyed powers had not lined
up against Berlin.
1t is striking lesson that the
bankers have given in the last fort
night. French bankers were heavy
loaners to Germany, and when war was
threatened they began calling their
loans. German depositors began de-
manding their money at the same time.
The Swiss, Dutch, Belgian, and British
financiers put on similar pressure, and
Germany presently found herself facing
a financial cataclysm.
France and England stood firm and
kept cool. Germany had displayed ex-
ceeding bad temper throughout the in
cident. Never has there been so
prompt or effective an illustration of
the power which the men of the money
chests WELD in the field of inter
national relations. 1t is altogether
likely that there would have been war
if Germany had been as securely pos
tured on the financial as she was on
the military side.
The necessity for every country to
have its finances on a sound and secure
basis has been impressed as never be-
fore. Germany oyerestimated her
strength at the bourse. The remainder
of the humihating truth came so late
that it aggravated greatly the discom-
fort of backdown that seems likely
greatly to damage her prestige and
correspondingly to increase that of
France, while at the same time
strengthening the bond between France
and Britain.
Germany's experience should be a
lesson to the United States. Our own
chaotic financial system may one day
bring us face to face with a situation
no less exasperating. Even the Incl
dental reflection of these tense Euro
pean conditions in the American money
mart has produced most depressing re-
suits. What might they have been had
the United States been a party to the
possible international clash?

been accompanied by his terse and
witty comment that have made them
famous.
The best fun comes when a delegation
of old-timers return from the District
workhonse at CccoqUan after 4 months
stay to see whether their record and
their promises can induce the judge to
let them out on probation.
Last week the judge visited the IA
nous river resort, and he was greeted
on all sides like an old friend. Two
days later the monthly group of petit
TONERS appeared and the first volun-
teered:
I'VE seen you, Judge. and IL they had
only let US we would have had some
doin's to show you some fun"
do you like 1t down there?' the
court inquired
"It's pretty nice place, but awfully
quiet" the prisoner answered.

OTHER BACK YARDS
ARE WELL KEPT

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In your paper Of Sectember A.
Wade Wells speaks and seems to think
that his is the only well kept back
yard in this city. While there are many
pest-breeding places. we also ,have some
nicely kept back yards, my own among
the numoer which will bear the cr!-
ticism OF Mr.. Wells and the Health
Commissioners. IN fact. it Is better
kept than the agricultural back yards

fact of which the Judge is most proud,
that S5 per cent Of this number are now

The Judge hates a liar and a man who
won't support his family. These two
offenses find no mercy at his hands
