Andrew Carnegie Urges Need of Putting Our Banks on World Level Shows Opportunities Slipping Away.
By Andrew Carnegie.

We are spending $400,000 ,060 to op- en a great new trade route to the markets of the far east. and many good Americans seem to feel that the moment the Panama Canal is opened to commerce we will at once be in position to command a great share of the trade of the Pacific. But. unless we speedily reform our banking system so that we may be in a position to finance the Panama Canal trade, a good part of this four hundred millions will be vast ed
 If we are to have the advantages in finance enjoyed by our Euro pean competitors a sweeping revision of our present banking laws is ab solutely imperative. Foreign banks, especially those of London, now fi- nance our foreign trade for us, let me quote from the foreign trade expert of one of the greatest banks.
 An importer of coffee (A) in New York purchases a certain num- Der of bags of coffee from an ex- porter (B) in Brazil. A agrees to furnish B with a commercial letter of credit.

Are Probably As Wide From Eventual Treaty As Were Demands of the Allies at the Outset of the Conference.
MONTENEGRO
 BRISTLES UP
Ambassador Miyusko Says Every Inhabitant of Country Would Rather Die Than Yield Lowehen or Renounce Scutari.
ASSOCIATED PRESS prsrATcHJ

LONDON, Dec. 25.-The expedition with which the Turkish government has decided the counter peace pro- rosals leads to the assumption it's reply will be as wide from what
 will likely be the eventual terms of the peace treaty as were the de- nlands of the allies and that a still prolonged process bargaining is to be gone through before the conference is ended. Austria's failure to de- mobilize, however. is greater source of disquiet to all concerned than the task of arranging peace. This is more especially the case with the Montenegrin delegates who to- day are excited over a rumor that Austria. having obtained what she wants from Servia, wishes 10 either prevent Montenegro from taking
 Scurtari, by incorporating it in AL
 bania or to make the Montenegrin occupation of Scutari the price of the Austrian occupation of Mount Lowehen. This mount, which rises
 to a height of 5000 feet, almost per
 rendicularly dominates the Gulg of Gattero, the greatest Austrian strong
 hold on the Adriatic sea, but now Montenegro, with her batteries on
 Mount Lowehen commands this gulf M Miyusko has declared that all the ambassadors of Montenegro would rather be exterminated than yield Lowehen or renounce Scutari l He said:
 Naturally it is absurd to speak of declaring war against Austria, but l if Vienna had any such pretensions 1 she would have to wipe out every soul in Montenegro. I myself would be there, sword in hand, and would 1 sell my life dearly
 l Moreover it is not believed that | Russia ever would permit the anni- 1 hilation of the small kingdom. which 1 for centuries has represented her 1 Slav stronghold, on the Adriatlc. l and in this connection additional at 1 tention is drawn to the fact that Russia is taking the means to pre-
 vent continued war preparations from 1 becoming known.

An Unseemly Scramble


THE unseemly scramble for delegates
to the National Republican Convention
TO be held in Chicago next month by
the president of the United States and
an ex president together with the bick-
erings elimination and recrimination
which is manifest in the heat of discus
sion and speeches which are being made
throughout the country, is positively
unsavory and borders very closely TO
the disgraceful.
However much these two great men
may be admired by their friends for
their ability and achievements the fact
remains that both are belttleing them
selves and bringing the party into dis
repute and exerting an influence in
the political arena which will have
q tendency downward instead Of up
ward.
1t is bad policy for Ex-president
Roosevelt and President Taft TO engage
in such a scramble, better things are
looked for from men in nigh position,
the influence is bad on the young man
of the political life of the coming
generation. No one can question the
