PROMPT REMEDIAL
ACTION OVERDUE
New York Will Aid, It Is Be-
lieved, if Neutral Commerce
Problems Are Solved.
BY FRANCIS w. HIRST,
Editor Of The Economist"
fCn..i,t labia 10 The Trih,fne


London, Aug. 17.-American ex-
change conditions have had de-
pressing effect on the stock mar
kets of the City generally. Press
comments are not very illuminating,
but all the newspapers agree that
prompt remedial action by the gov
eminent is overdue.
Unfortunately, they have little to
suggest, except a big loan, long or
short, to be fioated Immediately in
the United States, failing which
further large exports of gold and
securities must be arranged.
The financial editor of "The
Morning Post" who is well informed
on banking opinion, recalls ''numer-
Gus occasions on which America
turned to this country for temporary
accommodation - an accommodation
which has never been withheld"
No doubt he refers to the modern
financial crisis in the American Civil
War. Owing to the blockade such
financial support as was derived
from here went to the South. He
thinks that prompt measures should
be taken before "the more difficult
time of autumn arrives"
Personally, l assume that if the
problems of neutral commerce can
be solved in friendly way by diplo-
macy New York will be able to give
large financial aid. Otherwise
American packers, manufacturers
and agriculturists would suffer Sc
verely for l do not see how we can
afford to buy all we wish to buy for
ourselves and our allies this coming
autumn and winter unless you are
prepared to lend to us temporarily a
considerable fraction of the total re-
quired.
One may notice that the French
and Italian exchanges usually rise
when the American exchange falls,
clearly because the external finances
of Great Britain, France and Italy
are so closely intertwined.
Private reports from a neutral
source indicate that the military
authorities of Germany are much
disappointed thai they have been
unable to inclose the central Rus
sian army in the Warsaw salient.

WANT ROADS GIVEN
EARLY attention
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ASK
DRAGGING CONTRACTORS TO
GET BUSY SOON.

The working Of the county roads AZ
ter the recent rains which led to the
highways getting in bad condition IN
many places, has led the board OF sup
ervisors to get In touch with the per-
sons having road dragging contracts,
asking them to get busy as soon a. the
weather permits. The following letter
has been sent to the various holders
OF contracts for dragging by Chairman
II. 3. Patterson of the Wapello county
board of supervisors:
On account Of the very heavy rains
in the past ten days, 1t was almost i'm
possible to get the county roads IN
shape by one dragging. as they were
20 extremely rough. and besides they
dried SO fast that light dragging made
little impression.
To yet these roads back In condition
want to urge every person having
contract, to go over their territory with
the drag at the very frst opportunity
and try If possible to get the county
roads in flrst class condition.
Yours truly,
H. B. Patterson,
Chairman Board Of Supervisors.
