THE EXCHANGES.

The New York Stock Exchange
did not open today, and the decision
of its board of governors is alto
gether to be commended. Every en-
change of the first or second i'm
portance in Europe has been closed
most Of the week OF confirming itself
to operations hardly more than
nominal.
New York's exchange has been
the pneumatic cushion, the shock
absorber for the whole financial
world. On it have been dumped the
securities that could not be liqui-
dated elsewhere, and through it
have been established the credit bal
ances on which Europe has been
drawing away our gold.
1t would be quiyotic and reckless
to maintain such a posture for many
days in such trying time. Today
brought announcement that London
would follow the lead of the CONT
ncnt, and close its exchange. That
was, as it should have been, enough
to settle the matter at New York.
The present is time for conserving
all strength. This country is basic
ally sound. We are fortunate, in
the face of the present crisis, in be-
ing able to realize that liquidation
had already gone so far that the
shock could not be SO great as if it
had come in a period of activity and
high prices for securities. But it
would be sheer foolhardiness to at
tempt to carry the worlds burden
now. The minor exchanges through
out the country have generally shut
down, and the American business
world is wisely trimming its sails
for the storm that threatens.

WEIRD WAR TALES.

How wild have been the reports
filling the cables about the European
war situation was perfectly illus
trated in the news dispatches gener-
ally printed yesterday afternoon
that Austria had thrown 100000
troops into Servia!
Half a million soldiers are for all
practical purposes the whole active
fighting force of Austria. Imagine
Austria losing her Immediately usa-
ble armies in a scramble all over
Servia, while Russia, Russia the one
dread at this time of Europe-was
niassing a million and quarter of
troops along her Austrian boundary.
Going into Servia with the full
strength of his active fighting force
would be for Francis Joseph's war
ministry to leave the door of his en-
pire wide open to few regiments of
Cossacks, not to speak of those other
hundreds of thousands each of Rus
sian horse, foot and dragons.
These are some of the weird war
tales over which nations and peoples
are falling into panic.
The Washington times., 1914-07-31

of most of us it will have become a
commonplace of aerial navigation.
The America, with which Lieuten-
ant Porte is to attempt the passage,
has engines of 300-horsepower.
Something approaching amazement
was created in the public mind when
it was first announced that the flier
would be equipped so generously for
it's battle with the elements; it was
net quite easy to conceive of an
aeroplane whose engines would de-
velop as much horsepower as an old
style locomotive. But the plans of
the admiralty far transcend this.
For its new air fleet 4o0-horsepower
is to be the minimum, from which
point the imagination is permitted
to follow the example of the aero
planes and soar.
Perhaps it is not too much to ex-
pect that aerial craft with engines
of 1,G00-horsepower will be built
within the next ten years. To these,
when reasonably stabilized, the car
riage of passengers across the ocean
would seem to present little diff
Guilty.

THE END is NEARER.

1t seems overoptimistic to hope
for the completion of the legislative
program and the erd of the Con-
gress session by August 20. Yet on
the other hard there is little doubt
that the ovcrshadowing events of
the last week in distant parts of the
world will have a tendency to a.
celerate the work of Congress
In the British parliament the lead
ers of the opposing sides agreed to
withdraw, so far as concerned pres
ent discussion, The home rule amend
ing bill. 1t was not esteemed that
any good COLD be accomplished by
exposing and accentuating the DIFF
fe,ences between the factions.
Much the same considerations
may be expected to hasten the bust
ness Of Congress. There is urgent
necessity for filling the places yet
vacant or the Fedora! reserve board.
The country needs the new banking
organization at work. Likewise the
country needs to have uncertainty as
to governmental policies toward
business ended. It is quite as i'm
rcrtant, now. to know what is the
Governments attitude, as that that
attitude should be in all details cor
rect. Therefore Congress will serve
the country well # it will finish its
work and adjourn soon.
The Times has not been among
those to join in the cry for Con-
gress to adjourn and desert its pro-
gram. 1t does not now urge aban-
donment. of the program; but it de-
cidedly believes that the national
interest will be promoted by getting
its work finished just as soon as
possible. The Administration will
have its hands full with our concerns
about Europe and Mexico, without
the necessity Of managing its rela-
tons to Congress.

THE FlRE-ALARM CAR.

purchase of an automobile for the
use of the two civil Commissioners of
1.-THE District, which they very much
needed. Excellent idea.
To make sure, we assume, that 1t

Ehere was written into the measure
] proviso that all cars owned by the
District government should be paint
.ed the same color, and that the
yords District of Columbia" should
be PAINTED conspicuously on the body

three inches high.
At first the provision required the
e. ters to be six inches high. They
we're reduced half.
It's going to be fine to see the two
commissioners hurrying around
Town to make speeches of welcome

D. egates a fire scare. The District
cars are painted various colors at

have to be adopted as the uniform

On the other hand the Dutch are

GAS MAIN EXTENSION
HEARING, AUGUST "A
Public Utilities Commission Has
New Rule Covering Cost of
Service Pipes.

The Public Utilities Commission will
hold a hearing in the board room of the
District Building Friday. August II, at
10 a. m. to consider the adoption of
regulations governing the extensions of
gas mains and gas service pipes. The
proposed regulations provide, that upon
application TO serve premises with gas,
the gas light companies shall extend
their mains without cost to the appli-
cant a distance of 125 feet in length per
house.
II this length OF extension Is not sufri-
Gent to reach the premises II Is pro-
vided that the applicants shall deposit
with the gas companies 70 cents for each
lineal foot of the further extension
necessary or the actual cost to the COM
pany of the extension.
The regulations provide that the de-
post shall be returned by the COM
panies TO the depositors at the rate OF
1918 (the amount of deposit to cover
rs feet OF the extension) for each ad-
ditional house served until the entire
amount is refunded.
The regulation for the extension OF
gas service pipes provides that the
cost of the portion from the main to
the property line shall be borne by the
company, and from the property line to
the house by the applicants, the cost of
maintenance to be borne equally by the
companies and the property owners re-
spectively.
Notice of the hearing and copies of
the regulations were sent this after
noon to the citizens association, the

merce. Retail Merchants Association,

OUR TENNIS CHANCES.

1t is all very well to predict de-
feat for the American Davis Cup
contenders on the broad ground that
this is bad year for America in
international contests-but it isn't
good tennis logic. There is nothing
in the showing thus far of the men
who will defend the greatest trophy
in the racquet world to dishearten
American tennis fans.
Maurice E. McLoughlin's impress
sive victory over William NJ. john
ston, holder of the Longwood Bowl,
came as the elimination of re-
markable string of conquests. Nc
Loughlin handled his fellow Cali
fornian with less difficulty than he
did that other Coast frebrand, R.
Lindley Murray, and R. y. Williams,
his comrade on the Davis Cup team.
1.-THE Comet" is playing the game of
his life right now, and should show
binding speed IN the supreme test
of international play.
Williams can be depended upon
for his usual steady game. 1t is
upon the showing of McLoughlin's
partner in doubles that the result
will hinge largely, and either T. c.
Rundy or Karl Behr should bring
enough strength 10 the fiery Cali
fornian to give America slightly bet
ter than an even chance of victory.
At any rate, there should be some
lightning fast play when the issue
is decided.
