France had to make its humiliating
peace.
Bordeaux was for three centuries
a British possession, having been
taken by Edward, the Black Prince
Here was born the son of Edward
who afteruard became Richard II of
England. The period cf the British
occupation saw developed a great
commerce between Bordeaux anG the
British islands, which has never
since been entirely lost; so that Ror-
deaux even of today is more init
mately affiliated with English inter
csts than almost any other French
city save Paris only.
So far back is the middle period
of the Roman empire Bordeaux was
center of learning and the arts;
and it has remained such even to
this day, through many vicissitudes.
The Romans built wall about it,
with great towers, but of this the

THE TRAVELLERS GOLD.

1t is estimated that something
like S1O0,c0O,O0O to S15O,OOO,o0n OF
American money represents the an
nual toll that our travellers anc
s;ghtseers and students carry away
TO Europe. To save that amount Of
hard cash-for it ultimately repre-.
sents just that much drain of gold
from this country-will be very
great financial reinforcement fol
this country at this time.
The year 1915 will net see this
drain to Europe. Some of it, OF
course. will go; but it will be, at
most, only small proportion of the
amount that would be carried away
il travellers belts under normal cir
cumstances.
Every effort should be made in
this country to encourage people to
stay at home. We need the money,
not in the ordinary way, but in a
most extraordinary way. A hundred
millions Of cash is the basis on
which volume of business cali be
transacted amounting to many, many
times the cash basis.
Therefore it bchooves 20 prepare,
ir this country, to keep the Ameri-
cans at home and tn have their
money spent here. A double pur-
pose will be served. Not only will
the money be more useful to US
than an equal amount would be in
ordinary conditions, but if spent at
home it will be beginning, leading
to larger economies of the kinG in
future. This country is full of peo-
pie who don't know America as they
ought to know it. They need only
to be inspired once with an appre-
citation, an understanding, of the at
fractions Of America. to keep them
here in future at least 10 a greater
extent than they have remained,
here in the past.
One of the American centers of
interest that is certain to be a chief
gamer by this turning backward of
travels tide, is Washington. To
Americans, it is and should be the
most interesting capital in the'world.
More of them will come here, more
of them will thereby be led at length
to make their homes here, by reason
cf the present cessation in foreign
travel.
Washington's opportunity is
vast one. Timely recognition OF it
will make it yet greater. Right Low
is the tina to begin organization
looking to the realization # the full
measure of benefits.

KIPLING'S POEM.

Mr.. Kipling's war poem is the
best that has come to this side from
Britain; but it is not all that the
occasion demanded from Kipling. 1t
fails, because Kinling's inspiration
failed. The truce with the bear could
not possibly have been grateful to
the author Of "The Truce OF the
Bear"
Small wonder that Kipling sounds
q piteous note of confession in the
line:
Though all we knew depart
For the whole Kipling foreign pol
'cy has been based on the assump-
ion that the Bear of the North was
Eritain's eternal, unchanging foe.
hipling has never been afflicted
much with Germanophobia. He was
the sort of person to be keen ad-
mirer of the Kaiser. 1t is easy
enough to believe that the Kaiser
reads and knows Kipling; that if
kipling had been a German, or Ger
many had been the ally of Britain,
Kipling might have found his very
ideal ruler in the German Emperor.
So Kipling rings more sorrowful
than strong in his lines on the War
Of the Nations. 1t is still too big,
too near, too horrible, for even Kip
ling to command himself for a wor-
thy expression.
The Washington times., 1914-09-03

mics, than to have the ships lie idle
while Germany's enemies suffer for
want of the provisions.
So England, at least, is willing
that the United States take over the
interned ships, provided they are not
to be used TO carry supplies to Eng
lands enemies. 1t is quite incon-
ceivable that they would be so
rsed, because the risk of getting
them into Germany's blockaded
ports would bar that enterprise. So
long as they are to be used in neu-
trail trade, as with South America
and the Orient, and in provisioning
the only warning countries that are
now accessible by sea, England will
consent to the ships being trans
ferred to American ownership.
Along with this, however. Eng
land wants some assurance that
these vessels will not be handed back
to Germany after the war. So DO
good many Americans. II would be
poor business to take these vessels,
use them for time in establishing
new trade lines and relations. and
then return the ships to Germany
and leave TIE infant commerce suS-
pended in the air. That would make
US mere dependent than ever before
on foreign marF1>ae establishments.
We would have invested our money
in laying the foundations of a new
foreign trade; but the foundations
would be resting on quicksand. The
people with the ships would recall
their ships and with them regain
the trade.
1t may as well be accepted that if
Uncle Sam puts up now the capital
to establish a Government owned
line of steamships in merchant trade,
those ships will in all probability
remain Government property, and
continue to be operated by the Gov
ernment. 1t will he found impossible
tc repeal tha law, orce it is enacted
and tested.
The Washington times., 1914-09-03
NO PROTESTS NOW.

President Wilson has requested a
denial of the report that he had sent
e protest to the German Emperor
against the destruction of Relgian
cities by German troops.
Neutral nations do not rush in
with formal protests in such mat
ters, at least not until the facts
have been established beyond official
question. Whatever the world may
believe, and however it may feel,
about the outragcs at Louvain, this
is not the time for bystanders to
object-officiallv. We must know
more and have proofs that cannot
lie set aside. Meanwhile the United
States will be busy enough remodel
irs its own industries and preparing
for greater prosperity.
There will be a day of reckoning
for things like the vandalism at
Louvain. Wnen that day will be no
man can say. Some one will pay in
blood, or land, or specie, or the loss
of the respect Of the rest of the
world. Even an ultimate victor can
not play a DEVILS part and get away
with it.
But at this time a protest is only
"scrap of paper" Sending one
would be like squirting soda siphon
st burning oil well.

AMERICAN BANKS IN
SOUTH AMERICA.

International City Bank announces
that just as soon as physical ar
rangements can be effected it will
open branch banks in Rio de Janeiro
and Bnenos Aires. Besides this, the
National City has arranged for an
| interchange of credits with leading
banks in Chile, which has the gen.
eral effect Of providing banking IA
cilities for American trade in that
country.
Establishme Of these institutions
is no more important than the spirit
of cooperation displayed by the Gov
ernment and business interests of
the countries. The advent Of the
Americans was regarded as more
than welcome. South America needs
money and credit just now; it has
demand for every instrument that
will bring it in touch with the money
and credit system of the world. Like
our own country it is looking out for
the substantial gains that may ac-
crue from the misfortunes Of the
Old World.
No better time, therefore, could
be found FOR pushing the effort 20
knit the business. commercial, and
financial fabrics of the three Ameri-
cas- close together. This country
has resources ample to carry large
part of the burden of financing the
rapid development of Latin America.
With Europe exhausting its re-
sources in The wastes of war, it is
Americas chance to step in and
show that after all it is the safe, re-
liable, and willing financier for the
countries Of this hemisphere. Their
trade as we'll as their finances needs
our support and strength.

into fragments. There would be one
force shut up in Metz, another at
Belfort, another compelled to sur
render at Sedan. Instead, the French
and British have not been subjected
anywhere to g crushing loss of this
kind. AS hey have retired their
lines have been drawn closer, tight
er. frmer. Their supports are bet
ter, their base nearer.
The huge f1anking movement of
the Germans through Belgium was
designed to encircle the left of the
allies and capture it. But the plan
failed. That IS the long and short
of it. The allies have lost no army,
have not had their lines broken up.
They have proved the splendid quail
;ty of their men and material. At
this stage in 1870 the utter ineftec-
hveness of the one and irsuficiency
Of the other had been demonstrated.
They have learned TO place conf
dence in their leaders and their gov
errment. At this time in 1870 Paris
suspected Bazaine of reasonable
purposes, and knew that Napoleon
was hopeless incompetent. Revolu-
ton was brewing at the capital
which today is united, confident,
preparing almost calmly for the su-
preme crisis.
1t took from September 10, 1870,
to January 80, of the Succeeding
year, to reduce and force the sur
render of Paris, despite that the
Germans had captured or isolated,
tefore they invested the city, most
Of the force that had been depend
ed on to defend the city. How long,
then, may it require in 1914 to bring
the most powerfully fortified city in
the world 70 its knees?

THE SHIPPING ISSUE.

Necessity knows no law; particu-
larly, it seems, no international law,
Great Britain is amply justified in
protesting against the United States
taking over ships interned by Ger
many on account of the war This
Government. is not understood seri-
ously to question that under the
London agreement of 1909 the
United States has agreed to this
rule. That convention says that
"the transfer of an enenrys vessel
to a neutral flag effected after the
outbreak of hostilities is void unless
it is proved that such transfer is
not made in order to evade the con-
sequences tn which an erenny's ves-
sci as such is exposed"
The United States being party to
that agreement, it can only be fairly
set aside by agreement among the
powers that would be interested in
enforcing it. 1t happens that the
powers which alone have force to
insist on the rule, have reasons to
want both the good will Of the
United States and the services of
these German ships. Britain needs
food and other things from the
United States So does France. Bet
ter to let the United States take
over these German ships, and use
them to provision Germany's enc

O'SHAUGHNESS4.

Life is one lively thing after an
other for Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
who serves his country for the mag
nihcent salary of $4,000 a year.
Hardly rested from his grllling work
charge i'affaires at Mexico City
at time when that job meant con-
Quoting all negotiations With the IN
famed Huerta, he now is sent as an
extra secretary to the American en-
bassy at Vienna.
Washington has made a wise
choice. The Austrian capital, right
in the heart of roaring war, is
place where the United States should
nave men with cool heads. We don't
believe that anything will rattle Mr..
O'Shaughressy. Any one who has
survived six months of daily dicker-
ing with Huerta can have no nerves
left to he damaged.
The Washington times., 1914-09-03
BORDEAUX.

There is in bordeaux the fine ruin
of g Roman amphitheater, dating
back to the days of the ancient en-
pire. From the time of Caesars
conquest, down through the period
Of the Moorish invasion. Bordeaux,
now likely to become the temporary
capital of France, has seen a his
tory of splendid ard moving interest.
The city is today not far from the
population of Washington. Like
Washington, it is a seaport without
being on the ocean; for the Ga
rome rivers estuary begins at the
city's front, ard spreads ont into a
fine expanse, widening az it flows
along its sixty-milc way to the sea.
1t empties into the Bay of Biscay.
Bordeaux is ideally situated for a
temporary capital in this war, be-
cause it is susceptible of defense by
water, and anything like 4 complete
investment would be impossible so
long as the naval power of the allies
dominated thu seas. 1t is powerful
ly fortified, though the fortifications
are probably not nearly so ur-to-
date as some others in France. The
one enemy against which in other
times France was called to strength
en- this city was Great Britain; and
since the ertentc with that country,
energies have not been wasted
strengthening towns chiefly threat
ened from the other side of the chan
mel.
In 1870 the French government
was moved first to Tours, then to
Bordeaux, on the eve of the siege of
F'aris; and from here the new re-
publican government that succeeded
the regime If Louis Napoleon con-
Quoted its operations from the re
