The Rising Cost Of Money.

The conclusion OF negotiations for the
Anglo-French credit loan In this country draws
attention to the rising cost Of money due to war.
A marked tendency in that direction was
noticeable for several years before the war and
many high-class securities were advanced by
steady pressure from 3 u per cent to An and
per cent Wars pressure far outruns ordinary
economic forces and already has set a new high
level OF money cost.
The per cent which the credit loan will net
investors is not extraordinary as war loans go
In the second and third years Of the civil war
the government issued bonds and treasury notes
hearing per cent. and the necessities Of the
last ten months OF that war forced the govern
ment to pay per cent. Japan paid per cent
straight, exclusive Of discount. for the greater
part of its borrowings during the war with Rus
STA. The daily cost Of these wars though con-
sidered staggering at the time. are trifling COM
pared with money cost of the present gigantic
struggle
Up TO September 1 the war has added
S17. 00O, 10000 to the debts of the ma
lions engaged. This means a monthly wastage
OF $1,000. 100000. AS the struggle broadens
and grows in intensity the cost is bound 70 in
crease and the demand for money will drive the
cost upward
No one can foresee the end OF the war or
estimate the financial wastage IL viii entail
When the end does come the demand for money
is not likely to diminish Enormous amounts
OF capital will be needed to restore destroyed
property and revive the industries and activities
OF the country swept by armies. All these
forces work for the benefit OF the money-lender.
The United States cannot wholly escape the
effect OF the financial pressure in Europe, which
clearly foreshadows an indefinite era or dear
money.

Great Britain's Plea in Avoidance.

Earl Grey, foreign secretary for the British
government has Just entered plea in avoidance
in the case pending between his government and
the United States concerning the unwarranted
interference by the British neutral overseas
commerce. His note does not answer the point
raised by the United States, nor does It contain
facts to Justify the policy adopted by the Allies
in the order in council promulgated in Febru-
airy of this year. It was to be expected that the
trade of the United Kingdom would decrease in
some regards, and in none would II increase
rapidly, or to the extent OF that Of the United
States. Entrance into the war precluded any
possibility of British shippers engaging
tensiveIy in foreign trade as they might II their
country had remained at peace with the world.
The crux in this case, however, is the right
of neutral nations to traffic freely between
themselves and between the unblockaded ports
of nations at war. The British government is
among the signatories to the Declaration OF
London, which specifically sets forth the condi-
tions under which such traffic may be carried
on, and the provisions OF which are contravened
by the order in council II Great Britain has
any complaint to make regarding the disposition
of goods shipped from this country to scandi-
nayian countries or to Holland, It is against
those countries. In the American meat cases.
recently decided the president of the admiralty
court OF Great Britain held that surplus ship
ments to European neutrals afforded only pre-
sumptive and not conclusive evidence of enemy
destination. Even were 1t adopted Conclu-
slve proof the point is still against the British,
for 1t does not Justify interference with Amer
lean trade in order to prevent the Scandinavians
or Dutch from traffickng with the Germans.
To admit the British contention on this
point would be at least unneutral on part OF the
United states and such action is out OF the ques-
ton. We are seeding only the rights OF neu-'
trails, and must accept no less as satisfactory
settlement. q:

the same kind of Clothes enjoys the same house
hold comforts, reads the same books, magazines
and newspapers, keeps in close touch with
current events. sends his children to the same
schools and colleges, and travels almost as much
for business and pleasure. Perhaps the farmer
does not go to the theater as often as the city
nan, but II he did he would enjoy the same sort
of shows, so that the play which makes the
