Straining Their Credit.

While the expert strategists Of the several
countries involved in the European war are
stu manipulating armies and navies across the
checkerboard OF strife, more important factors
being forced to the front. Public attention
is Just now more centered on the diplomatic
moves than on the military maneuvers. Loom
ing large above both is one factor that will ulti-
mately determine the outcome Of the struggle.
Financiers are beginning TO discuss among
themselves the steps that are to be taken to
properly protect credits, and provide the actual
sinews OF war
Mr.. Chamberlain told the Commons in his
speech, early in the week, that the present year
would cost the allies not less than $40, OOO,-
100000. He added with much frankness that
the war could not be conducted ION a limited
liability basis" and stated plainly that the gov
eminent OF France is in financial difficulties,
while the government of Russia has had trouble
from the first in securing the necessary accom-
modatons. Mr.. Chamberlain's estimate is
probably well within the mark, for while the
British government asked Parliament for
blank check It is not at all likely that It would
wish to brighten timorous patriots by suggest
ing too large as the probable expendi-
ture.
London exchange was quoted In New York
on Tuesday at the lowest figure on record
while the bankers there who represent the for
eign powers are being pressed by American
manufacturers to pay in dollars rather than in
francs, marks, roubles pounds. The war
credits voted to the several governments con-
cerned have been raised much in the nature OF
forced loans, in spite OF the apparently spon-
taneous patriotic response to the request for
cash. The fact is plain that the end OF the
present war will be determined, not so much by
the number OF men one side or the other may
be able 20 put in the field, but by the ability Of
the belligerents to raise the money they must
have to meet the Unsuitable call OF the war god
for cash.

The governments OF Great Britain and Ger
many are being very plainly reminded that the
countries not directly involved in the European
war are determined that the belligerents must
show more respect for the undeniable rights OF
Britain and Germany make this fact very clear.
Britain and German make this fact very clear
These notes are couched in language and terms
similar to those employed by the United States,
raise the same points and take the same stand.
This is the only attitude for strict neutrality.
II does not show any favor to either side Of the
controversy. but demands from both sides an
equal compliance with the provisions of inter-
national law, and the agreements governing
conduct OF belligerents during the progress of
actual warfare
neutral nation is justified at all times in
insisting upon it's right to trade with nation
with whom It is at peace, regardless Of the rela-
lions of that nation with any other. This right
is qualified by certain conventions that have
been agreed to- and all trade is subject to the
operations of belligerents under those conven-
tions, but no belligerent, matter what the
prcvocation, has right to transcend clearly de-
fined rules of modern warfare.
