improvements on PennsylSania.
With the completion on September 1
OF an elaborate plan OF improvements in
its automatic block signal system, the
Pennsylvania Railroad will have more
four-track line operated under auto
matte signals than any railroad in the
world.
At a cost of 100000 the Pennsylvania
Railroad has in the past three years
equipped SO miles OF its main lines with
automatic signals.
On September the main line OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad between Pitts
burgh and New York and Philadelphia
and Washington will be equipped with
automatic block signals.
The signal system on the Pennsylvania
Railroad east OF Pittsburgh and Erie
represents an estimated investment Of
approximately slSOOO,OOo The difficulty
in arriving at more than an approximate
figure is due to the fact that many
changes have been made in the signals
from time 10 time in the past thirty
years. The electro-pneumatic interlock-
ing switch and signal system In the New
York Station and on the electric line
between Sunnyside yard, Long Island.
the Station and Manhattan Transfer,
n. J., alone cost H.750,0oo.
It takes a normal force Of l,soo men
to maintani the Pennsylvania signal
system. II costs TO keep these signals
in order no less than 100000 year.
Estimates have been made Of the
amount OF foreign capital invested in the
United States. They place the total
somewhere in the neighborhood Of 5000
OO0.OoO or this. Great Britain Is cred
tied with $500 10000. Germany with

Price on Wars Cost.

Theodore H. Price, in his publication,
Commerce and Finance, says:
Since todays issue of this paper went
to press the news from abroad and the
imaginative rumors that have sprung
therefrom have thrown the financial and
comercial world into a frenzy of alarm
ing excitement.
Values are being thoughtlessly sacri-
feed. People are selling merchandise and
securities at far below their intrinsic
value, and in both Europe and America
an unreasoning fear of impending finan-
cial chaos has taken hold of the COM
munity
Under such conditions it becomes the
duty of every right-thinking man to do
all that he may toward the re-establish-
ment of confidence.
IF the universal war which so many
are predicting with a glib thoughtfulness
that is almost criminal should occur
property will be more valuable than
money: for a speedy depreciation in the
value of money by unlimited imitation is
the only way in which it would be possi-
BILE to finance the unthinkable cost of
such a gargantuan conflict.
Debts would become uncollectable,
bank deposits unavailable. and a world
wide moratorium would have to be de-
clared. For this reason those who own
anything that has productive or pros
pective value as a necessity of civiliza-
ton will do well to keep it rather than
exchange It for a bank credit which will
have no value at all il. as some fool
ishly think. civilization is to be destroyed
For the same reason the expected
war cannot occur. Even II the states
men and rulers of Europe are insane
enough to undertake it their madness
would be futile, for its estimated cost
is sS6, 900, 100000. and the money cannot
be had. Happily. the advance of demo-
cracy has made the payment of interest
on such a debt impossible, for the peo-
pie would speedily remove from power
the governments that imposed the neces-
sary taxation
The sum named is the direct cost
only. The Indirect cost would be much
greater. 1t is less than ten years since
the reverses of Russia in her war with
Japan led to what was called bloody
Sunday in ST. Petersburg, on January
q 1905.
Then as now II was said that all
Europe would be drawn into the con-
fict; France, as Russia's ally, England
as Japan's friend and Germany as the
hereditary enemy of both
Those whose memory takes them so
far back will recall that on Monday,
January g. 1906, the worlds markets
opened at prices which proved to be the
lowest for a long time, and from the
figures then touched cotton In particular
