BANKERS WARNING

While approving of the billion-dol-
lar loan as a means of providing for
e'gn credits in settlement of trade
balance estimated at over ST 50O,OOO,-
000," the Investment Bankers Asso-
citation of America, at their recent
convention in Denver, did not hesitate
to go on record as the great disaster
which Free-Trade was certain to
bring upon the country but for the
abnormal conditions created Through
the enormous foreign demand for the
products of American farms and fac
tories and the resulting increased de-
mand for labor" These plain state
ments of fact are embodied in the
resolutions adopted by the convention.
1t is well that the truth should come
from so authoritative source. The
bankers we'll know that as their reso.
lutions rccite, at the time the Euro
pean war broke out this country was
threatened with financial and indus
tt ial crisis of an almost unparalleled
nature" And after the war ends we
shall have such crisis in tuu force
unless a Protective Tariff comes &c
| the rescue.

BRADSTREET
OPTIMISTIC

in its summary of the general con
dition OF business at the end of the

lowing optimistic view of the situation
based upon its intimate knowledge
of business:
In the economic situation perform
ance follows promise at rapid pace
and as unfavorable factors are elimi-
mated even tagging lines are brought
in touch with the circle of growing
activity. Industry shows notable ac-
tivity. Shipyards are working at top
speed, steel mills are producing at a
rapid rate, blast furnaces are working
at an unparalleled gait, eight of the
country's crops are of record proper

mands, machine tool shops are turn

very promising areas have been found
which it is believed will, under devel

visible ore reserves of the company.
One of these shows oxidized ores of
medium grade on the surface for two
hundred feet in length and forty-fve
teet in width in which are found small
bodies of malachite and chrysocolla.
Within the next two or three weeks

WILSON PLANS
MERCHANT MARINE

Secretary McAdoo, before leaving
Washington, officially outlined the ad
ministration's merchant marine bill
and gave the details of the plans for
the navy reserve to be operated
through a corporation wherein the
government will be the sole stock
holder. There are FIVE factors to the
plan, chief of which are necessity for
an auxiliary fleet to the navy and the
immediate relief of American com
merce because of the hopelessness Of
private capital in coming to the re-
lief of American frontier trade the
government is the only agency Of
sufficient strength to give the quick
assistance necessary.-Press Dispatch,

WOMEN IN WAR TIME

The following from the Toledo
Blade is one or the most complete
answers to the argument that women
should not be permitted to yet utter
ed 1t conclusively answers the con-
tention against equal suffrage:
War pictures from England show
women at work in the munitions fac
tories and recent news dispatches
from Germany tell of the employment
of 5000 women in the Krupp works
at Essen This is in war time. In
piping times of peace how different
the Englishmen's argument that wo-
mans place is in the home! The
Kaiser's dictum that for the German
frau and fraulein the famous three

all-suffcient. effectively halted what
ever impetus women's rights may
have attained in the Fatherland.
In peace, women are told that, as
they cannot fight, they should not ask
equal rights with men in the eyes
of the State. But in war they are gra-
ciously permitted to take mems places
in the factory and the mill. They cam
not fight, but neither could the men

William M. Wins.

This town has never had more useful,
alert, interested and interesting citizen
than William NJ. WINS. To the business of
the town, way back in the dim ages when
there was only the old city and Grace was
its Mayor, ne gave faithful, intelligent,
effective service. Almost a generation
later he was a vigorous, picturesque can
didate for the office of Mayor, which he
had actually. if not nominally, filled in the
early eighties.
IN politics Mr.. Wins was familiar fig
ure. In political and politico-legal battles,
public Investigations, citizens committee
activities, Mr.. WINS was always worker,
usually effective, always entertaining,
never without a contribution. Ten years
ago he became Uncle Billy WINS to a
political generation which he had delighted
and in which he took delight. The affec-
tonate title chung to him and gave
him something of the small town eminence
in a metropolis.
Outside of politics, beyond the practice
Oh lUc law hls iNlilS was SiN"iiJ ''NN'
trious, equally informed. He knew South
America as perhaps no living American
knows it, and he discovered Amazonian
tributaries while Colonel Roosevelt was still
in obscurity. European affairs were ever
a challenge to his interest, a subject for
study, one more department of human
activity in which his mind travelled and
on which he spoke with charm, authority
and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Wins belonged not to one party, one
profession, or one generation. He was be
yond all else a New Yorker, claimed by
all parties, by several professions, and a
figure of more than usual appeal TO two
generations. His public service was of the
sort that makes his death a material loss
to the community His personality was
such that his removal will seem distinct
personal loss, not merely to the many who
knew and honored him at close hand, but
to the many more to whom he was "Uncle
Billy" a term in which familiarity only
spoke the affection, the liking of many for
a man who never failed to delight and al
ways commanded respectful attention.

Our Diplomatic Undesirables.

James NJ. Sullivan, who as United States
Minister to the Dominican Republic
basked too much in the sunlight of pub
Lefty for his own safety, has become an
eX-diplomat by request. He should never
have been suspected of being able to pass
muster as diplomatic raw material. He
was as much of a miSfit in that calling as
was his distinguished chief, the head of
the State Department, now also a glory
that was in the world of diplomacy.
Mr.. Bryan wrote of Mr.. Sullivan in
that immortal letter in which he put on
record his purpose to fill up the Dominican
customs service temporarily under Amer
lean supervisory with deserving Demo-
Gratis" you will find Sullivan a strong,
courageous. reliable fellow. The more
see of him the better | am satisfied that
he will fit into the place there and do what
is necessary to be done" That judgment
represented high water mark of achieve
ment in the diplomatic careers of both
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Sullivan.
A Democratic Senator, Mr.. Phelan has
reported to the President that Mr.. Suli-
van, whose fame as a lawyer in this COIN
munity rests chiefly on the fact that he
was once counsel for BALD Jack" Rose,
the Becker case witness, didn't eft into
the place" in Santo Domingo and ought TO
be pried out of it. SO notice was served
on him that he would have to resign.
This tardy and partial reparation for
the outrageS inflicted on the diplomatic
service in the first year of the Wilson ad-
is a welcome sign of a re-

solemn warning that cannot be misunder-
stood. He has destroyed the whole edifice
of German self-deception and at the same
time demolished the feeble trap set to en-
broil the United States with Great Britain
to serve German ends.
To-day the Presidents message will
seem purely an American document. 1t
will be considered simply in so far as it
deals with an issue between our nation and
Germany. But it has wider meaning, a
greater value. 1t is declaration which in
repudating for the American people the
idea that humanity can be disregarded, in
ternational law repealed to suit the neces-
sites of a single nation, contributes to
defend the whole structure of civilization.
Not for American lives alone, not for
American rights merely, but for those of
all neutrals, President Wilson has spoken.
He has defended right against might. lie
has asserted that the American people
utterly and forever repudiate the doctrine
that there is a law higher than that of
common humanity, and in asserting this
he has solemnly but Enthusiastically given
notice that on this ground the United
States stands, whatever be the conse-
quences.
The Presidents message is an admirable
American document. 1t expresses in tenn
per and in content the whole mind of his
fellow citizens. Whatever be the conse-
quences of the note itself, no question of
partisan or personal difference will con-
tribute to weaken the effect of a message
which expresses the will of the whole
American people.

The First Anniversary.

On July % of last year Austria dis
patched her ultimatum to Serbia. That
ultimatum was designed to be the prelude
to a brief punitive expedition against
Serbia.
One year later what is the situation?
An area larger than Serbia wholly within
Hapsburg frontiers has been completely
devastated. The number of Hapsburg
Subjects killed, wounded and captured ex-
ceeds the male population of Serbia before
the war Austrian territory is still occu-
pied by Russian troops and Italian soldiers
are pushing well into Austrian dominions.
BY contrast, there is not a hostile sol
der in Serbian territory. The two great
conflicts between Hapsburg and Serb
troops have ended in complete Slav vic
tories, in dismal Austrian routs. To-day
Serbia is still intact She has paid great
price for her liberty, but she still pos
sesses it.
On the first anniversary of the magnifi-
cent Austrian gesture directed at Serbia
is it conceivable that there remains a sub
ject of Francis Joseph who believes it
paid? Who believes that any success now
achieved can balance the cost to Austria in
life and in treasure of her step taken just
year ago?

FRANCIS JoSEPH's BIRTHDAY
Notice of the Celebration with
Some Comment.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir Among the rulers and Presidents who
have been in the limelight during this great
European war there is one man whose life
has been a long struggle. life filled with
hardship. He favored peace more than any
thing else, was forced by the rule of faith to
consent to warfare so that his nation may
in the future be safe from the intrigues Of
some INSCRIPTIONS statesmen Of another
country.
That man is Francis Joseph / Of Austria
Eghty-fye years have passed since the
birth of the Emperor. For siXty-seyen years
he has piloted his nation through hard times.
His nation, or better, his nations, which
had been brought into a wretched state by
interior troubles, were on the verge of col
lapse. The work of centuries was in danger
of breaking down, breaking down like the
empires of olden days Francis Joseph, at
that time young and fiery man, subjugatet
the troublesome elements by sheer force
After getting the best of the revoutionsts
his statesmen again wanted to place tyran-
mic rule over the Austrian dominiors but
then his righteous mind rebeled, and then
Francis Joseph, a man who may be classed
among the greatest rulers of history, grant
ed his people a constitution, introduced
democracy and personal liberty.
He then changed Austria Hungary. These
countries till then had lived by the spois Of
war but by his work they took 20 peaceful
methods, and under his reign they worked
themselves to the place of world power and
earned place in the sun.
In the sixty-seven years of his reign is
people learned to understand and love him.
Yes, | emphasize to love him. They have
proved their love of him in this great con-
act. Their infinite love and respect for him
made all the nations of Austria Hungary
though they differ in ideals language and
traditions, stand together and battle for cir
fatherland and for their Emperor Even hos
tile countries honor the aged Emperor >ho
successfully rules over twenty nations.
In August he will be eighty-fve years old
He witnessed the Austrian triumphs over
Italy in 1913 and 1866 he witnessed the vic
tories Of 1864 ard 1873. He wept with his
people when losing in 1859 and when beaten
by Prussia in 1866 His people wept with
him when degraded fanatics robbed him of
those who were dear to him, and to-day he
bears. with his devoted people, the pains of
the great conflict, having confidence in the
victory of his soldiers.
To honor him Americans of Austrian and
Hungarian descent will hold a celebration in
Terrace Garden on August IS. At the end OF
his eighty-ifth God-gven year Americans
whose fathers and forefathers were Austri-
ans and Hungarians will pay honor to him
Not the honor paid to a sovereign, but the
honor paid 70 a great man, and all those who
think we'll of the Emperor Francis Joseph
may show it on August IS at the celebration
