London, Feb. 20 (5:30 p. MIA
plan for a union Of the financial and
military resources of the entente
powers, arranged early in February,
was approved today by the house of
commons. During the debate Lloyd
George, chancellor of the exchequer,
announced there would be another
meeting of the finance ministers of
the allied powers this time in Lon
don.
Referring to the enormous Joint
resources of the allies, The chancellor
said
'In the struggle, resources are al
most of paramount Importance. This
is a war, not merely of men, but even
more Of equipment. It is in that the
allies have fallen short of their great
enemy, because Of the preparations
he has been carrying out for years
and years. In this matter, time
counts. In men our resources are
greater, and In money our resources
are greater. Time and fun applica-
ton Of all our strength-tha is all
that is necessary If We do It. we
shall win"

STOCK EXCHANGE
PRICES LOWER;
WAR SCARE ON
0verhanging Fear Of Inter-
national Complications Has
Depressing Effect on Shares
Generally,


New York, Feb. 3.-Professional
selling prompted mainly by further
unfavorable foreign developments
provoked fresh selling of securities on
the resumption of operations today
The overhanging fear of internal
tional complications was plainly re-
Elected in the several markets for ex-
change. Exchange on Paris. Berlin,
Rome and Geneva was quoted at un-
precedented figures
The selling in this market began at
the outset and was maintained except
for irregular periods of extreme dull
ness for the greater part of the SEES
sion. Many of the principal shares
made their lowest prices for the cur
rent movement and a number of new
minimums were made. Baltimore and
Ohio common and preferred, sea-
board Air Line preferred, Southern
Railway preferred, New Haven and
Chesapeake and Ohio, were among
the stocks to fall TO latest establish
ed quotations.
Most of the specialties, including
the Petroleums, motors and a score
of dormant issues fell from one to
over five points. United States Steel
was again steadiest of the speculative
1avorites.
Almost the only encouraging news
of the day came from the west, where
general conditions pointed to an M
crease of business. This was offset,
however, by another sharp drop IN
grains.
Losses in some of the investment
bonds ranged from one to two points.
Total sales, par value, aggregated ST.
$4,000.
United States government bonds
We're unchanged on call.

pared with Saturday night. Other net
declines were; Corn 2 * m2A c to 2%c,
oats. Y al sc TO &c and PROVISIONS
15c to zoe.
Sensational breaks In the price OF
wheat began right at the outset ana
became Enthusiastically worse as the
session neared finish. The first
smash was influenced by a sharp drop
in quotations at Liverpool and by
news that Constantlnople was TO pc
attacked from the north as well as 10
be endangered from the south
through the onslaught against the
forts on both sides of the Dardanelles.
General attempts TO liquidate de-
spite more and more evident lack OF
support rendered the pressure on the
wheat market especially severe In the
last hour, Export sales had been dis
appointing in volume and no reliance
apparently was placed on assurances
that the amount of Russian wheat
readily available for shipment
through the Dardanelles would oe
small. The most pessimistic view
was that the trade faced prospect OF
the recent almost unlimited demand
being perhaps suddenly reduced 20 an
unknown extent.
Corn suffered from the same reas-
,ons as wheat. Besides, there vas y
big enlargement of the visible supply
of corn.
Export sales made oats relatively
firm. 1t was said 100000 bushels
were bought here for the seaboard.
Provisions gave way with wheat
and corn. Pork in particular was
affected by sharp stop loss selling.

Wheat-May $1.52%; July $l.257s

wav Stations to the White House

TT POLITICAL precedents had any more
L binding force than precedents in interna-
tional law it might he said that the Senate
IS not a station on the way to the White
House Benjamin Harrison is the only Sena-
tor who has been elected to the Presidency
within the memory of men now living, and
he had not taken his seat He was nominated
and elected in the interval between his cleo
ton as Senator and the assembling of Con-
gress.
Candidates for the Presidency have not
been chosen from among the Senators be
cause other men have seemed more available.
William Mckinley was nominated after he
had been defeated for re- election to the House
and had won the Governorship of Ohio.
Cleveland was selected the first time because
he had carried New York State in 1882, and
it was thought that he could carry it in 1884
also Roosevelt was named in violation of all
precedents because, unlike other Vice Presi-
dents who had come into the Presidency he
was able to command the nomination. And
Taft was named by Roosevelt, although he
might as easily have selected Root. Wilson
was promoted from the Governorship of New
Jersey.
The road to the White House runs through
the Governorship of a State more often than
nv anV other route.

"If You Can Keep Your Head When All
About YOU"

-CAMUEL j. TlLDEN, who proved that he
~ had level head when he accepted the
verdict of the Electoral Commission which
deprived him and the Democracy of the
Presidency in 1876, acquired a large fortune
by keeping his head when other men lost
theirs The rule which he followed deserves
the serious consideration of amateur specu-
lators attracted to the stock market by the
great activity shown there, and by the rapid
rise in price of some of the standard securl-
ties. Tilden said that it was his practice to
buy on a falling market when every one was
trying to get rid of what he owned before the
price went any lower. And conversely it was
his practice to sell on a rising market when
people were rushing in and bidding against
one another to get something before the price
went any higher.
But Ttlden was a man with a long head,
who understood human nature and economic
principles, and had patience to walt for his
profit as he had patience to wait for the vim
dication of his high patriotism in the great
crisis of the winter of 1876 and 1877 The men
like him, who had the foresight to buy heav-
fly of all sorts of commodities needed in their
business during the past months of depres-
sion are those who will reap a rich harvest
Investors now who let others buy stocks that
are booming, but put their own money into
those securities which have not yet begun to
show great activity, will make a certain profit
provided the securities represent a sound
business enterprise.

The German Crr of Distress

| THE interest which Ambassador Bern
storff's memorandum arouses is due to
its revelation Of the desperate mood of the
Germans. They arc hemmed in by land and
sea and shut off from the American food
supplies and denied access to American am
munition factories, because the sea is COM
manded by the Allies Therefore, Germany
accuses the United States of maintaining an
unreal neutrality, because, forsooth, 1t does
not use it's power to overcome, In the inter-
ests of the Germans, the advantages which
the Allies have won by their superior naval
strength.
The memorandum is cry of distress and
not a logical document 1t is an attempt to
blame a third party for the grievous state
into which Germany has fallen. 1t is In
tensey human, and should call out the SYM
pathy of all neutral hearts, but 1t should
not move the Government in Washington to
relax it's neutral attitude. The Administra-
ton has put itself on record in opposition
to interference with neutral commerce with
neutral ports in the war zone and tho Allies
have refused to modify their policy. Fur
ther diplomatic protest would accomplish
nothing save to make the record more COM
plete. Force alone could affect the situa-
ton, and no one but the Germans would
have us take up arms against the Allies to
compel them to let our ships through the
war zone to the Holland ports. And If we
should threaten force the Allies would re-
mind us that it was Germany which had
warned neutral ships away from the war
zone and that it was Germany which Is
sinking neutral merchant ships in that
region. So, however we may look at the
case, Ambassador Bernstorffs note is more
remarkable for it's revelation Of the German
state of mind than for anything else

TITNEY joy-ridlnE, such as filled Broad
C street on Saturday night with Gro ds of
delighted families ought not to he sup
pressed by the police. The sensation of rid
ing up and down Broad street in an automo-
bile is now made possible to thousands who
had never before dreamed Of experiencing 1t.
1t Is a harmless amusement, even If it is not
really elevatng 1t is likely, however, that
philosophers could be found who would argue
that 1t is elevating, and that those who par
ticipate in It will be better citizens for the
rest of their natural lives.
The jItney, with its low fare, removes one
source of social discomfort, because II raises
large masses of the people from the stage
where a ride in an electric car is a luxury to
the status where they can enjoy an automo-
bile ride at no greater expense. The million
alre may now loll at his ease in his luxurious
motorcar without exciting the envy of the
poor man, who at the small cost of quarter
can take his own family out for an airing in
a motorcar also When the jitney proprie-
tors realize the possibilities of this branch of
their business we are likely TO see Jitney joy
riders in Fairmount Park and on the country
roads as we'll as in Broad street, and 1t will
no longer cost s25 to be driven about the
country for a few hours

LURE OF FAMOUS LONDON TOWER

NIANY grim. historic tragedies are revived
IHl by the announcement that the Bloody
Tower OF the Tower of London will be opened
TO the public at small charge.
Hitherto used for housing some OF the ward
ers, the tower is small, OF 18th century origin.
and is situate opposite the Traitors Gate and
adjons the Wakefield Tower. It's archway-
through which you pass to the inner ward and
the Jewel room-is very gloomy, and is guarded
by a portcullis, the chains and pulleys OF which
are still in existence and well preserved. The
sinister title is derived from its association
In popular legend with the murder OF the young
princes but unfortunately there Is a diverg-
ence among the authorities to whether this
or some other part OF the tower was the scene
OF that atrocous act
Its most nlustrlous prisoner was Sir Walter
Raleigh who was confined there for many
years In the reign OF James l. From an upper
window Raleigh had access to the eonstables
garden, where he permitted to exercise.
and indeed at one time. before It acquired its
evil reputation It known as the Garden
Tower One OF the ghosts which persons allege
they have seen fitting mstily about the tower,
by the way, Is that Of Raleigh.
Since wails-though having ears''-cannot
speak, the full measure OF human misery and
suffering and OF human Ylciousness which has
been recorded within the murky reeesses OF the
Bloody Tower will never be known, but al least
one particularly brutal murder Is established -
having occurred there-that Of Sir Thomas over

Grim Romance of the Sea

COME day sea writer with imagination
~ will write the tale of the EiteI Friedrich
and the Kronprinz Wilhelm, and he will
produce a book which for dramatic thrill
will equal any yarn of the salt water yet
produced. The Kronprinz wilhelm has been
afoat for eight months without touching at
a single port. She has secured food and coal
from the enemy ships that she sank. and
Il was only when she failed to find any more
ships from which to take supplies that she
was forced TO steal her way through the
watching English and French war ships of
the mouth OF the Chesapeake Bay into neu-
fral waters. She has lived through the grim
romance OF the sea, suffering a metamor-
phosls from gay passenger ship carrying
Iight-hearted travellers on pleasure bent into
a monster OF destruction, stealing upon
nnarmed vessels to slaughter them without
compunetion. Yes. a yarn could be spun
about her which would thrill or shock the
reader, according TO his mood.
