The Theory" On Which
We Do Business.

You wouldn't have expected It
probably, even from the Saturday
Evening Post, but an editorial head
ed, The Scramble for Cold" In last
weeks Post constitutes a fine state
ment OF the false theory on which
our financial system Is based and an
equally fair illustration OF the cowar-
dice which gold money exhibits when
ever any real danger is in sight. Tho
Post says:
The worlds credit system rests on
gold, the theory being that every
creditor can finally convert his paper
into that metal If he wishes to. In
normal times. when nobody particu-
larly wants gold. it works perfectly;
and in somewhat abnormal times,
arising from crisis in a single Coun-
try, it stu functions quite satisfac-
torily In 1907, for example. we
brought over more than a hundred
million dollars in gold from Europe
within a short period, and so relieved
the strain here. But last month this
system encountered by far the great
est shock ever administered to it. The
middle of July nobody, broadly speak
ing, was thinking of war. BY the end
OF the month war on the creates
scale ever known seemed certain. All
stock exchanges closed. In less than
a week the Bank of England raised
its discount rate from three per cent
to ten per cent. Sterling exchange at
New York went 10 the unheard- of
figure of five dollars and a half a
pound. Thousands Of American tour
lists with letters of credit, the sound
ness of which nobody doubted were
unable TO get money. Payment Of
debts was extended by decree or
statute. The commercial world tenn
porarily went out of business. And
all this was due to a wild scramble
for gold on the part of the big COM
mercial countries of Europe, every
country striving to keep every dollar
OF it's own stock
Every one knows there is nowhere

STRIcTEsT NEUTRALITY
BY TURKEY PROMISED

Washington, Sept. 4.-The Turkish
embassy today received from Constan-
;iuorle under yesterdays date a cable
gram announcing that steps had been
taken to insure the safety OF merchant
vessels OF all beligerents i'm Turkish
ports The cab egram reads.
BY virtue of the neutrality we have
declared, the military authorities have
received orders to insure by every
means possible safety Of merchant yes
sells Of the beTigerent nations taking
refuge I'm our ports,
The Turkish ambassador interpreted
the Cablegram as the strongest iudlCa
ton YET received here that Turkey in
tends to preserve neutrality. In other
diplomatic circles the cablegram was not
so interpreted.
In diplomatic circles today il was be
leved that should Turkev declare war
on the allies and send ships into the
Persian Gulf. England would ask Japan
TO take steps to protect British interests
in Persia and exPeU the Turkish invaders
Japan's appearance in the Persian
Gulf would be but an extension Of her
action under her alliance with England
An attack on Persia by Turkey would be
q blow at both Russia and England.

French Troops
Marching to Meet
Approaching Foe
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Paris, Sept. 4.-French troops have
been passing through Paris fer the last
three days headed toward the battle
lines which protect the capital from
the German advance.
The resumption Of the German Of
fensiVe is awaited at any moment. The
confidence of the French has strength
eued. 1t is felt that the strategtcal
problem OF the allies is to select the
rl2ht plan and the right moment for
a counter offensive movement
Tens Of thousands Of PaTisians,
chiefly women and children, have
taken advantage of the free trains
placed at their disposal by the gov
ernmert for The purpose Of clearing
Paris and its environs, as far as pos
sible of all civilians who might ham
per the military operations. Most of
these people are going to the south or
west OF France. The military governor
of the city has put at the disposal of
non Cambatants fifteen trains Of
twenty-five cars each. Passage on
them is to be entirely free. They will
run today, tomorrow and Sunday and
convey refugees to points outside the
military zone.
The principal newspapers Of Paris
have transferred their offices to Bor-
deaux where the Havas News Agency
also has established headquarters.
All perishabIe food products are
rigidly inspected every day at the mar
kets of Paris. This examination is
stricter than ever before. It is a COM
m on sight to see a huge pile Of meats
and poultry rejected because teby had
become slightly tainted.
This is but one Of the precautions
being taken against sickness in the
city. Everyone has been advised to
he vaccinated against typhoid fever.

The Purchase of Ships
by the United States.

In view of the fact that pra ctically
all steamships owned by Germany and
England are naval reserves in case of
need, the respective governments hav-
ing contributed to the original cost in
order to have a claim upon them, there
seems to be considerable Justice in
the tentative protest of France and
England against the acquisition of
German vessels by the United states
upon the seas.
The first objection to the plans of
the United States was made by France,
England later urging the United States
to purchase only neutral vessels in or
der to prevent complications. 1t has
been represented to this country that
such purchase would operate to give
financial aid to Germany and 1t has
been suggested, as a way out Of the
difficulty, that the United States pur-
Lhase equally of French, German and
English vessels, a proposition to which.
it is believed, all would agree.
AS matter of fact it makes little
difference to this country where the
vessels are purchased so long as they
are secured promptly and the sugges-
ton that equal purchases he made
Of the different belligerent nations
seems to offer a reasonable solution to
the problem. The purchase Of steam
ships owned by neutral nations would
involve much heavier expenditure, in
all probability, for at the present time
vessels that can sail the seas in safety
are scarce and prices would naturally
be high-much higher than prices ask
ed for vessels that are tied up in the
various ports of this country, with no
chance to escape until peace has been
declared.
II is wisdom at this time to heed
the protests Of the nations at war,
not because of fear, but because this
country has duty to perform to the
world in its extremity. The United
States must partially feed and clothe
all nations for many years to come;
it's industries must supply the def
ciencies caused by the ravages Of war
If we have grievances against other
nations. they can we'll be stored up
for diplomatic settlement at a more
augpicious time.

Oyster Day at
Apalachicola.

Apalachicola, Florida greatest oys-
ter city has fixed September %, % and
24-each as oyster day. and the
Georgia, Alabama and Florida public
is invited to be present on any one or
all of those days. enjoy a good pro-
gram and see how oysters are grown
and served
The idea is not only novel, but to
The Journal, it appears a most ex-
cellent one.
The oyster industry of the northern
gulf coast is susceptible Of vast de-
veIopment. It is the chief industry Of
ApalachicoIa today. It could be large
industry at numerous other places
along the coast.
Pensacola, whose biggest productive
industry Is now her fisheries, ought to
be receiving as we'll a tremendous rev
enue from oyster beds in Escambia,
Blackwater. Pensacola, Perdido and
Choctawhatchee bays. A few enter
prising citizens are already engaging
in the industry here, but there should
be hundreds instead of only a few.
A great deal can be learned at this
ApaIachicola gathering in September,
and The Journal would suggest that
all Pensacolians who are interested in
developing the oyster resources of this
immediate section should be present.
