Philadelphia. Sept. 6.-"By COM
ing to terms with the United States
on submarine warfare, Germany has
robbed Great Britain of the might
lest weapon she hoped to WELD in
this war, the financial power of
America!
"For had the United States Joined
the Allies in war on Germany. our
chief function would have been to
share the burden of financing che
struggle, and England knew it. But
now At seems suddenly that we are
to remain neutral. Our great finan-
eiers. while still aiding the Allies.
will make them pay for that servicei
And the great burden of the
losses of the struggle, which We
would have had to carry. had we be-
come belligerents, will now fall on
the common people Of France and
England. That is really the true

Thus, Americas greatest academic
authority on international exchange
and banking. Prof. Thomas Conway.
head of the money and banking de-
partment OF the Wharton School of
Finance of the University of Penn
sylvania, showed up significant
connection between the two most
sensational features of the current
news, namely, the startling break in
International exchange, and the
clearing up Of the German-Anerican
crisis over submarine warfare.
The unprecedented condition of A.
nance and commerce in which We
find ourselves has utterly aghzed
and puzzled even the biggest New
York bankers.
For the nrst time in AN history.
the United States has become the
leading export Nation of the world.
The American flag Is Aging on
more ships than at any time since
1853. Per-
The surplus held BY the New
York banks is the greatest in their
history. and still more millions of
gold are being shipped into them.
And. finally. the price of the English
pound, normally worth $4.S665. has
broken in a startling way clear to
figure near $3.50. before recovery
was suggested.
What does II all mean?
THAT New York is now and yili be
henceforth the financial center of
the world" Is the answer many have
been giving. asked DIR. Conway to
briefly explain the situation. from
the disinterested point of view of an
expert.
"The British people, he said.
ARE selling foreign investments
wherever convertible. and lending
the proceeds to the Government to
prosecute the war. That is to say.
they are selling property in foreign
and the proceeds of the
sale are being used indirectly to pur-
chase the food and munitions con-
sumed in the struggle The further
this liquidation goes. the more is the
position Of London, as the worlds

The next leader that brought the
Red Sox to the top of the crest was
Jake Stahl whose Red Sox I'm 1912
recorded the highest percentage ever
made by an American League club
In a very spicy series Jake snatched
the Worlds Series from the Giants
in eight games. And look at Jake now

Of a bank.
Stahl originally was a member OF
the Boston Worlds Champions OF
1903. going to the Hub team as a
college catcher. Later he went to
Washington, where he branched out
as a first haseman. and managed the
Senators in 1906 and 1906, when he
was known as the boy manager.
Jake then took his first retirement,
bobbed up in 1908 with the Yankees
as one of the worst outfielders in the
world. went to Boston as a first base
man, and then retired again. When
Jim McAleer bought the Red Sox in
1912 he wanted a manager and a first
baseman, so he coaXed Jake out of
retirement Stahl in his first year as
a manager won the pennant with a
club which finished fifth in 1911, beat
ing out the supposed invincible Ath-
letics. and winning the Worlds Series

1912.
The sox never got started in 1913,
and Stahl was unable to play on ac-
count of a bad foot Despite the
fact that the club was fourth and
showing improvement, Stahl was fred

unpopular in Boston that Johnson
