The capture of Antwerp is regarded

Of England for France as the object
of attack There arc suggestions that
Antwerp will become the base of
operations against England by land,
sea. and air.

land or sea operations, directed from
Antwerp or from any other point in

German victories on land are to be

death grapple between the fleets
will ensue.. This report is palpshly
erroneou so far as It relates 10 the
siege guns. which are hOwitzers,
wholly untitled for use on warshps.
So far as naval guns arc concerned,
Germany had not produced anything
superior TO British weapons up to
the outbreak of tho war, and It is
hardly likely that new guns could
have been manufactured and placed
aboard nattleships within two
months.
The contest between Germany and
Great Britain. with Germany on the
aggressive, resolves itself into sea
fight. On tho water CIR eat Britain is
more than twice as strong as Ger
many. Tho prowess of the German
navy is unknown, but granting that
Il is equal or even superior TO that

German success are 80 overwhelm-

Editorial Opinion

From the New York sun.
If the banks could make no other
answer to Treasury criticisms OF their
conduct they might reply very efec-
lively that they were kept too busy
filling out Treasury investigation
blanks to pay proper attention to the
business of lending money. Just
what number il is in the series OF in
ouiries we do not know. but we OBJ
serve that the Comptroller of the
Currency has just addressed another
auestionary 20 the banks, PROFOUND
ing exhaustive inquiries into their
loan transactions.
What Comptroller Williams seems
particularly anxious to inform him
self upon is the rate of interest, and
il is quite time TO say that the Urea
sury is worrying itself altogether too
much and making altogether too
much noise about the rate Of interest.
The fiscal department of Government
is bound to have relations with the
money market, but there is a point
where the duties of the custodian OF
public funds and the consideration of
private affairs more or less distinctly
diverge. This is a fact which seems
not now 10 be sufficiently appreciated
at Washington.
The rate Of interest will take care
Of itself to the satisfaction Of both
borrowers and lenders II there Is not
too much interference with money
market processes. The Treasury
has admirably recognized the wisdom
Of guarding against currency inha-
ton, but does not seem to recognize
the wisdom Of refraining prudently
from trying to force an imitation OF
credit.
II would be possible at present TO
contrive violent fall in the rate OF
! interest by resorting to articles and
compulsions The consequences OF
such a resort would be disastrous
The inconvenience and perhaps even
the hardship incidental to the ad-
| justment of the money market by
natural methods TO the conditions
which the European war has created
| are nothing compared with the dis
tress that is the inva-iable sequel
of a stimulated loan account.

that Mr. Acworth has heen a careful
and painstaking student OF American
railroads for many years, and is COM
pletely informed as to transportation
conditions in this country. COntinu-
ing. he says:
I'VE all know, foi example.
that American railways have
been built and operated hitherto
