Most of the New York banking and financial interests
are in favor of making the big foreign loan Here is
sample of the argument put forth by the circular review
issued by j. S. Bache and Company, which represents
pretty well the Wall Street viewpoint New York alone
could dewrite loan of 81 0O00OO0OO on its present
surplus reserve, which last Saturday was nearly $685.
OOOOOO In fact basis of 18 per cent reserve this
surplus would warrant loan of $12500000OO But
there no reason why New York alone should undertake
this operation because the country-every part of it
is interested, and the whole, much more interested
than New York. And the country as a whole is abund-
antly able to take of this financing The combined
surplus of the National banks and the State banks of the
country is estimated to be $15000O00OO AS an 49,
per cent reserve, this would warrant loans of over
$S5OO000000. So that $1,000 100000 loan would be a
comparatively small matter Furthermore it would be a
benefit nasar it would reduce this enormous credit
power which the country possesses and which is in
ITSELF menace and invitation to wild speculation and
tremendous credit imitation For many years this coun-
try has been cut off from participation broadly in the
business of the outside world Since the Civil War our
banking SYSTEM and our navigation laws practically
destroying our merchant marine have made U.S. in a
sense a narrow commercial nation. Here Is the first
great opportunity for us to take commanding position

While Bandit Fought
He COmfOrted Hungry
Woman and Children

San Francisco, Sept. 21.--Mrs. Sarah
Krow and her two babies are in want
in the "death house" at Buchanan and
Oak streets, where George Nelson, the
Los Angeles bandit, made his last stand
for life.
They are destitute in a bullet-riddled
room adjoining the chamber where Mel
son blew his brains out. In this room
the little mother conversed with the
bandit before he died and while he bat
tied. Nelson whispered her words of
consolation through the thin partition,
she says, and finally called upon the
police to take the woman and her
children out of the danger zone.

THE BALKANS AND THE WAR

Balkan was the name of the range of mountains which
forms the watershed between the lower Danube and the
Aegean but has to be applied to the peninsula of
Southeastern Europe which lies south of Russia and
Austro- Hungary and east of the Adratic sea
This territory is divided among seven nations
Rumania Bulgaria, Serbia Montenegro Albania Greece
and Turkey; but within its limits found 80 different
peoples Hence the constant troubles that have made the
Balkan peninsula the puzzle and dismay Of the statesmen
of Europe
By the Treaty of Berlin in 1878 the six Powers of
Europe thought they had settled the Balkan question by
dividing the territory among the peoples chiefly pOpulat
ing it. But they made the mistake of leaving Macedonia
in the hands Of Turkey and the two Balkan of 1912
and 1913 upset the balance of power and left unsatsed
Bulgaria which is the most truculent if not the most
powerful of the Balkan states BY the strategic position
of its territory Bulgaria holds the key to the situation in
the Balkans
The present situation is that Rumania wants Transy-
vana which is peoped largely by Rumanans but is ruled
by Austria Bulgaria wants the part of Macedonia which
it lost to Serbia by the second Balkan and also the
territory down to the Schaalia lines not far from Con-
santnop Greece wants the Greek cities on the eastern
shore Of the Aegean Serbia and Montenegro want
ports on the Adriatc Italy wants the control of the
straits of Atranto that the Adriatic may become
practically Italian sea- Albania doesn't know just
what she wants, but she wants it very much
Italy was already at war with Austria and declared
war ON Turkey August 2l but curously she is not
yet at war with Germany having cause of quarrel.
The Balkan nations, at the outset of the war; were
apparently united in sympathy with the entente alliance
but for several months past dscord has been apparent
among them. The success of Germany in the Russian
drive and the natural enmy existing between the Greeks
and Bulgars have probably had much to do with this
change in sentiment Bulgaria about to side with
Germany and Austria, while Greece and Rumania will
probably take up on the other side Rumana because
of close relationship with the Russians and Greece to get
another chance to humble an enemy of long standing.
The effect Of the entrance of the Balkan nations into
the war is probematical Germany would gain road
through to assist her ally Turkey but the other hand
1t would enable the entente powers to drive at CONSTANT
coming condition which has forced them to attack by
way of the Dardenelles with its almost mpregnable
Notifications.

A SHORT STORY.

(From the Lawyers Magazine)
Comes now Ignatz Waldo, who
complains OF Miss Lucretia Smythe
and declares that by reason OF her
grace, beauty, and general lova6ility
he has lost his heart to her, where
fore he prays the said Miss Smythe
that she take pity upon him and ac'
cede to his request, to wit, namely
that she join him in the bonds oi
holy wedlock.
Whereupon the acknowledgements
toned Miss Smythe treats the COM
plainant in a cruel and inhuman man
ner, in that she laughs scornfully at
him as he rests on his knees before
her, and declares that she will never
marry him because OF previous con-
viction in that she saw him kissing
another girl at the railroad station on
a day and date which she does not
at the time recall to mind, all OF
which she swears is true to the best
of her knowledge and belief.
In reply thereto the complainant
prays for a writ of error, and states
that the aforesaid Miss Smythe was
in error when she made the kissing
OF the girl at the railroad station
cause for action, inasmuch as the
young lady in question was and is a
sister to the party OF the first part,
ind under the Constitution OF the
United States and the rulings of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
(Ala. 2-34-6) such kissing cannot be
made the basis OF a complaint for
unjust discrimination by the hancee
OF said kisser. Whereupon Miss
5mythe reverses her decision and
orders that, after being signed, sealed.
and delivered with a kiss, the mar
riage decree be duly and fully pro-
mulgatcd.
