The German War?
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
How shall the war be named in his
tory? What is or is likely to be the
salient feature or characteristic that
will stand out most descriptively in
the popular mind? Some wars name
themselves. The Crimean war, the
Seven Weeks war-though this is often
spoken of merely as the Sadowa cam
paign-the Balkan war could hardly
have been called anything else. Our
own great war has been called by
of reconciliation the title civil war
steadily gains acceptance.
The very convenient designation by
the hyphenation of the belligerents
has given us the Franco -German-co-
temporaneously Franco -Prussian-war,
the RussoTurkish, Russo japanese
and Spanish-American wars. But one
cannot hyphenate all the countries in
Europe, and it looks as If pretty nearly
all would soon be engaged. The Aus
tro- Hungarian -Servian- Russian Anglo
Franco Germano Belgian Portuguese
would be a comprehensive designation.
but rather long for common use
Two possible ways of naming the
present struggle seem to suggest
themselves. The more obvious and
perhaps the one that will win most
general acceptance is the Pan Euro
pean war. which seems to fit the sit
uation. But 1t Is not impossible that
the popular imagination. fastenin g
upon the essential fact Of the two
great empires of common language and
cur1ously interviewer history fighting
back to back against all the rest Of
Europe, may unconsciously drift into
recognizing the mighty struggle as the
German war. This is especially likely
to be the case should the Teutonic
arms win the victory in the long run.

Takes Business Command.

Tomorrow the President will meet
with many business and shipping men
who have come here to confer with
Secretary McAdoo and other admins
tration officials regarding business con-
ditions, and the President expects to
take and keep command of the business
situation until everything is In gooo
shape.
1t is also expected that the President
will have conferences with southern
congressman about the cotton situation
in the south as result of the European
war 1t is admitted in all directions that
something must be done to prevent a
sudden and disastrous fall in the price
of cotton, which is harder hit than any
other American farm product as con-
sequence of the war abroad.
High officials of the administration are
pretty confident today that the avenues
of shipping to most of Europe will soon
be clear of all danger and that wheat and
other products will find hungry markets
awaiting them abroad, but the smash-up
of the cotton industry in many places
abroad. even with England taking her
usual supply, will endanger a large sur
plus of the fleecy staple in this country
for some months to come. One hope for
cotton is that England and France are
already indicating that they must have
large supplies of cotton duck for army
use and that means that the cotton duck
mills of this country will be able to

President Wilson lost no time today in
plunging right into mass Of work
awaiting his attention, and re disposed
of portions of it with unusual rapidity.
Worn out and depressed from his long
and sorrowful trip to the south for the
burial of Mrs. Wilson. the President did
not have as good a night as his family
would have desired. but he was feeling
fairly well this morning. The special
train bearing the presidential party re-
turned to Washington yesterday after
noon at 5 o'clock. Last night the Presi-
dent was taken for an automobile ride
by DIR. Grayson. and the fresh air re-
freshed him much.
Few appointments will be made for the
President during the remainder OF the
week. He has so much important work
on hand that his assistants do not reel
that he has time for conferences on
minor matters. This afternoon he Is IN
conference with the federal reserve
board, his first meeting with all the
members of this organization, the per-

Federal Cotton Certificates.

1t is believed today that the outcome
Of the conferences with the President will
be the passage of legislation providing for
the warehousing of cotton and the issue
of federal certificates that will be easily
negotiable among banks. thereby enabling
cotton producers to hold their product 1t
is the claim of the administration that
the new federal banking laws make 1t
easy for southern banks to put out much
emergency currency. and that the increase
in this currency would enable the banks
to carry the surplus cotton crop for
many months.
The proposed legislation would not
attempt to build federal warehouses.
as it is believed there are sufficient
vacant buildings in the south availa-
BILE for that purpose, but 1t would pro-
vide for federal warehousemen to
guard the cotton of a farmer deposited
and this official would issue certifi-
Gates of deposit OF SO many bales OF
cotton. enabling the producer to go
to a bank and negotiate the paper for
a fairly good sum of money.

Of Universal Recognition.

This right to trade with belligerents
is of universal recognition. although o.
occasions it has been denied in practice.
During the Napoleonic wars the
French and British governments assumed
to dictate the trade in which neutrals
should be permitted to engage with the
belligerents and to prohibit them from
trading with belligerents altogether But
these DEGREES met with the firmest re-
sistance on the part of the American gov
ernment at the time, and after the occa-
sions which produced them had passed
the English government was compelled
to reprobate and abandon them.

Solicitor Johns0n's View
Throws Light on Issue

A formal decision by Solicitor Johnson
of the State Department is believed to
have removed any doubt over the ques-
ton as to the right to change the reg
lister of ship owned by belugerent in
time of war.
Requirements of international law, he
contends demand that no transfer of a
vessel shall be made In a blockaded
port or while the ship is on the high
seas. He declared, however. that with
this limitation it simply is necessary
that the sale be made in good faith. with
no intention to evade the consequences
to which an enemy would be exposed
and with no understanding expressed or
tacit that the vessel is to be retrans-
ferred after hostilities.'
The right of neutrals." says Solicitor
Johnson. ito purchase merchant ships
from belligerents in time of war is based
upon, and is indeed part of. the right Of
bneutras to continue in time Of war to
trade with belligerents. which right is
undoubtedly subject to certain excep-
tions relating principally to contraband
and blockade.
