THE ONE GREAT EUROPEAN POW
Err THAT DIDN'T ExPEcT WAR

In the August American Magazine
a well-known American banker writes
a thqroughly authoritative and ex-
ceedingly interesting article entitled,
"The Money Side of the War" He
tells all sorts of inside. facts about
the financial situation and in the
course of his article tells as follows
which nations seem to have had a
warning Of the war:
'The only financial warning of the
great war was the palpahle effort on
the part OF the forein Governments to
accumulate large stocks of gold This
effort became manifest early In the
year 1914. and at the time war was
declared France had increased her
normal holdings by s17c.ooo.ooo, Rus
sia by s15o.oc0. 900. Germany by
500. 100000. OF the powers. Great
Britain alone made no great effort
to accumulate goN' This fact would
indicate that her Chancellor of the
Exchequer. and the Cabinet generally
had no idea that war would come"
