The financial and banking problems
that have been forced on the United
States by war in Europe are some
thing that the average individual
knows little about. 1t is very graft
flying that these problems have been
met with decisiveness and a promp-
titude that is creditable to the govern
ment. 1t can not be said that the
credit is due to any one party and
especially to no one individual. Of
course the president and his counsel
ors have had more to do with it than
any other, but it seems to have been
recognized by all that it was ques-
tion or a series of questions that had
to do with the common welfare of the
country and patriotism of nothing
else should prevent anything in Amer
lea from standing in the way of COM
plete cooperation. 1t would have been
impossible to have had the solution
of such problems so quickly and so
positively under ordinary circumstan-
ces.

TURKEY MAY BECOME
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Turks May Make Trade With Either
Side, Her Price Being the Return Of
Her Former Possessions.

Constantinople, July 30.--The cen
viction was growing among foreigners
here today that Turkey will not remain
out of the fight if general European
conflict develops from the Austro-
Servian struggle.
The sultan announced, as soon as
Austria declared war against Servia,
that Turkey would remain neutral. At
tention was called by western military
men in Constantinople, however, to
significant movements of troops and to
government preparations which GER
tainly looked warlike.
Whether, should he take n hand, the
Turk would operate Independently of
the other eombatants or ally himself
with one side or the other, was con-
sidered uncertain. The cOmmonest
guess was that he would offer his serv-
ices to the highest bidder, demanding
in return for his aid, what he lost, or
perhaps more than what he lost, by his
struggle with the Balkan allies
1t was generally agreed, too, that the
sultan's help would be valuable. He
could put more than 100000 trained
European troops into the field ON short
notice and, by drawing on his Asiatje
levies, could heavily increase this num-
Der, though some time might be lost in
bringing them to the front. Under War
Minister Enver Bey the army has also
been thoroughly organized AMI experts
have pronounced it a very formidable
fighting machine. The individual good
qualities of the Turkish soldier have
long been recognized
The German side of the struggle was
deemed somewhat the more natural of
the two for the Turks to take, but If
they could secure more liberal terms it
was doubted if they would hesitate
long to throw their strength on the side
of the opposite faction.

For hundred years the United

HER SOUTH AFRICAN
COLONIES in DANGER
British in South Africa Fear German
Invasion and that Beers Would Rise
in Rebellion.

Cape Town, Union of South Africa,
July 30.-Threats of war involving ell
the great European nations were be-
ginning to be accepted here today as
of grave local import to the British in
South Africa.
Germany, it was pointed out, has at
least 10000 trained soldiers in its
African possessions, imediately adjOin-
ing England's, and it was freely pre-
dicted that these troops would immedi-
ately invade the South African union s
territories if Germany and England
should both be dragged into the Euro
pean conflict.
With the Germans alone the British
colonists thought they might be able to
deal, but it was generally believed the
Beers would join them almost to man
and, confronted by such combination,
it was admitted the English would be
in in a desperate situation.
Neither, it was remarked by pessi-
mists, with England fighting for its
life in Europe, could much help be ex-
pected from home.
