LONDON BLACK DAY.
Stock Exchange Hard Hit at First
Possibility Of War.
Five Billion Dollars, II 10 Figured,
Would Have to Be Drawn From
Worlds Working Capital to
Pay Cost Of Conflict.

London.-With Is failures on the
stock exchange and general conditions
tending to justify the Characterization
of the first day on which a general
European war seemed inevitable as
the blacklist day the city had known
In 20 years, with the stock exchange
committee considering the necessity
of taking the gravest steps to protect
members, and with war rates at
Lloyds rising by leaps and bounds,
London financiers are in anything but
a bellicose mood.
The fact that one steamer alone,
the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, had &c.,
100000 in gold aboard, bound for a
German port and mostly insured with
the London market, made for peace
until the steamer arrived.
AS to the possible loss that Euro
pean war would impose on the bel.
ligerent countries and the world, a
correspondent was informed by high
financial authority that the cost could
scarcely be less than $4,000 900, 900,
all of which would have to be drawn
from the resources of industry, from
the worlds working capital This au.
thority points out that the South AT
rican war cost this country far above
S1,000,000. 900, and If European war
cost only two and one-half times as
much the total would be $4,000, 000-
900, which is probably a very conser-
vative estimate
The money publicly raised in Lon.
don every y months is about 81 ,00O,-
100000, so war on a $4,000, 200, 900
scale would be draining the capital
market directly of five years supplies |
of the greatest money capital In the |
world
But when the direct cost of the war |
has been calculated and the bills paid |
to the last cent, the world would only |
be beginning to realize the waste. |
only touching the edge of the actual |
loss. In every part of the world to-
day capital is in difficult and strained !
position. The supply is not adequate, |
and the amounts already expended in |
industry are jeopardized because fur. |
ther amounts are not at hand to keep !

PRESS SHEDS LIGHT
Common People" Able to Learn
Causes of War.
Day Has Gone BY When Monarchs
and Statesmen Exercised Their
Right" to Force Subjects Into
sr lrsv undesIred Conflict.

In the old days, which not a few
people are accustomed to characterize
as good" the question of war or peace
between neighbors was decided by
their respective kings, with a little
help from court favorites. The COM
mon folk, who did the fighting and
paid the bills-when the decision was
for war, as usually happened-had only
the vaguest ideas as to the cause of
the trouble, knew about its progress
little more than what they could see
for themselves, and exercised no in.
fiuence whatever on the ultimate terms
OF settlement With or without
cheers, they did what they were told,
and the fortunate survivors accepted
the result much as they did the
weather.
In some parts of the world kings and
statesmen can still plunge nations into
war almost at will, but no longer can
they do it without having their acts
promptly disclosed and their motives
made the subject of general comment
and criticism. For the press, nova
days, shows a fine disregard for the
censorships by which the war lords
and their servants always try to re-
store the old conditions of secrecy,
and not infrequently the departmental
chiefs get from the newspapers they
have tried to silence the first news of
events in which they are themselves
deeply interested.
lncidentally, journalistic enterprise
and achievement create innumerable
judges, all more or less veil informed,
as to the suficiency of the reasons OF
for war, as to the competency with
which it is conducted, and as to the
of the peace articles finally
signed In other words, private ambi-
tons and dynastic interests do not have
the free play they did in the good old
days, and though at the present mo-
ment it is reported that the press OF
several countries is clamorous for war,
still, even there, the papers are telling
facts with more or less accuracy and
and in a dozen other
countries they are printing columns
and columns of matter the general
tendency of which is to emphasize the
between the excuses for
Delligerency and the consequences
that follow an appeal to arms.

London.-C G. Grey, editor OF the
Aeroplane, a leading authority on
aviation, writes on the use of aero
planes In a European war.
THE utility of air craft in a Euro

connection with reconnaissance" he
says. Under certain circumstances
both aeroplanes and airships might
be used for offensive purposes, but
no nation owns enough air craft to
make them an important considera-
ton as weapons. 1t is possible that
couple of German airships might make
a dash for Paris or London with the
idea of creating a tumult of the popu.
lace, but they would run big risks of
being destroyed by faster aeroplanes."

powers rank as follows:
