world broke under the sudden impact
of an unexpected world war. In less
than a week Europe went TO gold
basis. In the absence of a sufficient
quantity of gold to meet the demands
Of ordinary and extraordinary business
thousands of people found themselves
without any medium for the purchase
of the necessities. To relieve this sit
uation the American government is
striving now TO get enough actual gold

TO turn credit into currency.
The shock TO credits in the United

themselves to the new relations and

embargo on foreign imports must
stimulate home production in all ar

profitable marketing of the surplus,
but the holders of wheat and meat
products will no doubt bear the delay
with equanimity as they see that for
eign nations have ceased to produce
and Will sooner or later be obliged
TO buy these necessities at higher
prices. The cotton crop will have
TO wait until the way is open to the
foreign factories which also sooner or
later must have it's raw material
Thus the war means work for the
mills and waiting for the agricultural
lists. Manufactured goods will go w
but food stuffs will stay about where
they are until they find way into

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE finan-
war in Europe will depend much on
the wars length. This is estimated
variously from 80 days to year. Mod
ern wars are fought swiftly. Their
engines Of destruction are tremendous.
Their methods of maneuvering are
more rapid than formerly and there
are necessities which require quick
determination. The manufactures of
smOkeless powder, for instance, is a
delicate and complicated task which
requires nearly six months and ii has
been stated by one of the Duponts
that the present supply of smokeless
powder would not last six months.
The Franco Prussian war lasted
seven months. It's decisive actions
we're over. however in less than so
days War began in July, 1870, and
on Jan. %. 1871. Paris had surrender
ed and the French army had been
completely destroyed. Modern wars
like that between Russia and Japan
and the recent Balkan wars have en-
phasized the fact that their brevity
must be in proportion to their de-
structiveness.

WASHINGTON. Aug. THE case
of William Phillips. third assistant
secretary Of state, may be cited TO
show the effect that plain chance or
luck has on the affairs of men.
When Phillips was a young man
just finishing college he was invited
TO a house party along with several
other young people at a home near
Boston
A guest i'm the home at the time
was Joseph ChOate. who had just
been appointed ambassador to Eng
land Phillips was introduced to him
in the natural course of things, as
were the other young people, but
nobody thought anything of ii more
than that IL was a pleasure TO meet
an ambassador. Something about
young Phillips. however. had made an
impression on ChOate They had
talked together not more than five
minutes, and Phillips never had the
faintest notion of trying TO make a
hit with the ambassador. but he did.
A few days later he got a personal
note from Choate asking him if he
would care to sail a day or so later
and become secretary of the en-
bassy at London.

Phillips had made other arrange
ments for his life work and a diplo-
matte career had never occurred to
him, but the invitation seemed to
him too great an honor to pass over.
He accepted at once.
When Choate's time was up and he
was about to return to America
Phillips expected TO return. too. and
take up something else. But a day
or two before. he engaged passage
homeward William Rockhill. who
had just been appointed minister to

and ChOate asked him if he would
