MONEY WAR POSSIBLE.

n A ONE IS fast becoming the main factor in the
lVI great European carnage. which has been going on
NOW for well over a year. 1t was to be expected
that sooner or later the great drain on the financial re-.
sourccs Of the countries involved in the war would
bring about d crisis, and 1t now looks as II that crisis
has arrived. For several days. past there has been in
this country o committee representing the forces Of tho
Allies trying TO negotiate q loan OF a billion dollars from
che United slates-a billion dollar loan without any
collateral.
rho proGernan clement all over the United States
has risen to thesoccasion and are doing everything in
their power to prevent the United States from making
she.desired loan to the Allies. knowing full well that such
= loan would be the means of giving a great impetus TO
the enemies OF the German cause.
The matter 90 up in the air at the present time, and It
s. not likely that any definite action will be taken by
the American nnanciers until the problem has had their
careful attention. It would be folly to plunge into such
q deal without having at least some definite knowledge
- to what the outcome would be.
Il Is stated that some bankers in the west have signi-
ned their intent1n OF raising a five hundred million dol
lar loan for the German cause. in order to Offset the
plans made IN the east to subscribe to the loan of the
Allies. II Is the intention of the western bankers TO
organize this vast sum in order to make a scarcity Of
money and thus cripple the plans for the loan desired
By the Franco:British committee. On the other hand
ZONE big Wall Street bankers, who are pro4German in
their sympathies have expressed a willingness to sub.
scribe 70 the fund for the Allies.
Protests against the proposed loan have been sent
10 the President OF the United States from all over the
ccpnt.y, but so far no official recognition has been made
BY the chief executive.
The public will await with interest the developments
IN the case. One thing has been made certain by the
pfoposed loan, and that is the fact that the countries
involved In war are getting close to the ragged edge
financially, and they are bidding against each other for
the support OF the United States.

MORE GOOD NEWS.

r UNOFFICIAL returns from South Carolina yesterday
L indicated that the state would go dry by a big ma.
jority. This will be good news to tho real citizens
Of that state, but a sad story for the liquor interests. 1t
shows that South Carolina is, getting in iiue for better
citizenship and for a better condition of the common.
wealth all the way round. of'eourse. there will be some
friction and considerable trouble during the time It
takes for the state to get in line with the new condition,
but after prohibition has been given a fair trial South
Carolina will find, herself far better off than before and
will be thankful that the voters Of the state saw Il. fit
to vote the way they did on the question Of state wide
prohibition.
Undoubtedly when the state has been dry for a year,
South Carolina will find as did West Virginia, that there
is a great decrease in crime in the state and in the mum.
Der of arrests made. West Virginia, after a little over
a year Of prohibition. is more than satisfied that the
state took a long step in the right direction when our
commonwealth went dry. The same will hold true in
South Carolina, or any other state that gives prohibition
a chance.
II the prohibition question were again to be put up to
the people OF West Virginia, the majority for a dry state
would be greater than when the question WIS first put
up to a vote Of the people.
The states of the Union are gradually falling in line,
one by one,f for prohibition and the time may come when
the entire country will be dry and when all liquor viii
be under the control of the United States government and
used solely for medical purposes. Hasten the day.
