BUSINESS IS SOUND

Uncertainty. as to Final, Out come, But Nation Has
 Faith

New York, May 14.-Dun's will say: The developments of the week afford new proof of the essential stability and power of the financial and business structure. While there Is, uncertainty as to the final outcome, there is faith in the ability of the nation to adapt itself, with financial readiness. to every contingency that may arise. Out side of the stock, cotton and other equally sensitive markets, the effect of the new war developments has not ma terially changed the. generally favor able aspect of the trade situation.

John Bassett Moore Thinks Lusitania Incident Raises

New York, May 14-(Special.)- )-Prob- ably the suggestion more frequently heard in the financial district than any other repecting the action which reasonably may be taken by the administration at Washington at this time is that the Ger man ambassador be notified that his presence is no longer desired and that our ambassador at Berlin be instructed to come home and close the embassy
 For the purpose of obtaining from com potent authority information which would disclose the meaning of rupture of dip- 1omatic relations with Germany. Dr. John Bassett Moore was asked this morning what the interpretation of action of that kind under international law and diplo- matic precedent would be. Of course, Dr. Moore did not care to express any opinion respecting the Lusitania incident, at least for publication. He was coun- sel for the state department in the first year of the administration of President Wilson, and was previously twice assis- tant secretary of state. He Is esteemed both here and abroad as the foremost American authority on the history of all of our diplomatic relations. and he is as familiar with archives of the state depart ment as competent librarian is with the books which are under his charge.
 Dr. Moore is of the opinion that all the precedents point to the breaking off of diplomatic relations not as an act of war of itself but as preliminary to or preparation for either declaration of war or the announcement that a state of war exists. Always, so far as his recol- lection goes, a rupture of diplomatic re- lations is based upon some act for which apology or reparation has been asked and denied or upon some act which of itself constitutes hostility on the part of the nation which commits it.
 That was as far as Dr. Moore was will ing to go. But without violating confi-

 On the day when J. P Morgan was seated at his desk in the banking house or J. F. Morgan & Co.,. after six weeks sojourn in London and Paris. two ex- traordinary pieces of financing were per feeted. In neither of them did the house of J. F. Morgan appear to be directly in terested. One was the speedy absorption of Pennsylvania railroad bonds aggre- gating $65.0o0,0o0 and the other the offer ing of and promise of rapid absorption of the loan of $2o,0000 900 to Argentina These two transactions following so swiftly as they did the great financing for the New York Central and for the Baltimore and Ohio, aggregating about s230 ,0O0. are regarded as almost automatic in the proof they furnish of the strength of the Amer ican situation
 MT. Morgan was quoted as having de- clined to say anything about possible loans to beligerent nations No person of experience would have ventured to ask him about transactions of that kind They are not matters for publication until con summated. But it was observed that CO., incidently in point of time with Mir. Nor gan's return the opinion widely prevailed that no matter how large an amount Great Britain might seek fin the United States in the form of loan or for the establishment of credit she would get it. When Henry P. Davison returned in mid winter from sojourn of some two months in London, after having also visited Paris he was reported by his friends to have said that he was himself amazed with the revelation made to him of the stupenudous financial resources of Great Britain. They are so large as to stagger the imagination and are great enough, according to MT Davison. as he has been reported by friends, to meet whatever expenses the war may entail no matter how long it is carried on and great enough also to furnish financial as- sistance to other nations
