Phillips theory was that It was
better to be king Of village than the
second ruler of New York. No less
an authority than julius Caesar had
said that before him. in a slightly diff.
ferent shape: but Caesar didn't have
to prove 1t, and Phillips did.
He spent his vacation in little vii.
lage in the Catskills, where the girls
from the department stores went. 1t
was a quiet sort Of place. and the
Quieter sort of girls went there. Phil.
lips's vacation unfortunately lasted a
month.

gentleman In appearance and having
plenty Of money. was in his element.
He fiirted with all and each. indiscrim-
fnately. Naturally. he created a good
deal of enmity at the little hotel. Any
one can do that. but Phillips thought

younger. I should have enjoyed moth
ing better than to take the young
BLACKBOARD by the collar and trounce
him soundly. OF course people set out
to enjoy themselves. but Phillips had
planned It all out before. Besides, the
man was outrageous with his dude
clothes and his generally offensive air.
But It was none Of my business. and
i watched the affairs with three or
four Of the girls to whom Phillips
swore eternal devotion until 1t came
to Dorothy Raines. That set my back
up badly.
Dorothy was the niece of the hotel
keeper. and In the summer she helped
IN the hotel In the winter. l believe,
she taught in the local school. I had

BURTON URGES
FOREIGN LOANS
Saws War Will Increase
Importance of U. S. in
World Finance.
b, T.legraph to IN, Tribun. ]

Denver. Sept. %. In an address be-
fore the national convention Of the In
vestment Bankers Association tonight
Theodore +. Burton predicted that
higher rates Of interest will result
from the property destruction in the
European war, and urged American
money lenders Of the future 20 use
patriotism as we'll as thrift in making
international loans.
"Our international relations are sure
70 assume greatly increased impor-
tance ID the future" sand the former
Ohio Senator. "Not force, but common
interests in finance and trade, will best
promote friendship and peace.
The ability TO lend carries with 1t
power which should always be eXer-
cised With the utmost care. In the
wider field in which the people OF the
United States must conduct their op-
erations the investment banker must al
ways have an abiding consciousness OF
the new duties imposed upon the citi-
zens of greater America rs the leaders
in the worlds civilization. | am sure
that all these new duties will be met In
a spirit in which thrift will not dis
place patriotism, or the eager desire
FOR success supplant the finer qulltes
of cosmopolitanism and due regard for
all. which are the crowning distinctions
in the enlargement Of a nations finan-
cial life"
Senator Burton spoke on the subject,
"The Effect of the Present Conflict in
Europe Upon the Rates Of Interest and
the Business of the Investment Bank
ers." After a technical discussion of
the subject he drew the conclusion as
TO the effect of the war upon capital
and investment that there will be:
"An enormous decrease in capital
available for investment.
"A temporary shrinkage in the ag-
gregate volume of commercial and in
dustrral activities. Expenditures for
rehabilitation and reconstruction will
have preference over those for the de-
velopment OF new enterprises.
Higher average rates of interest
This certainly will be the case if the
attempt is made to prosecute all the
varied classes of undertakings which
heretofore have required loans.
"The United States will occupy a
much more important position in the
worlds investment market than for
merly."

'By present appropriations do you
mean those OF last year, which include

ships and submarines ," he was asked.
We are spending now about $780,

combined" declared Mr.. Bryan. THAT

culture by the national government.
think that is sufficient. As TO the build
ing programme, that is MOI for me 10
say. The technical officers of the ser
vice should decide how the money
should be spent, after they are in
formed how much the country is will
ing to spend. We go to the tailor to
find out how our clothes should be
made, but We do not permit him TO tell
US how many we shall buy. II we did
We would have room for nothing but
wardrobes."
This change of Mr. Bryan's attitud,
regarding the building OF warships wa,
a surprise 70 many of his friends here
tonight. since he has been against any
increases at all. Close friends declared
positively that up TO meeting the Presi-
dent to-day he was in favor only OF
appropriations sufficient to maintain
the present army and navy.
His change is regarded. therefore, as
a concession to the Presidents ideas.
May Not Please Garrison.
Such a programme. il is believed,
will not satisfy either of the general
boards or Secretary of War Garrison,
who has been hard at work on plans
for the enlargement of the army. The
General Board Of the navy last year
recommended the building Of four
dreadnoughts. Secretary Daniels cut
this recommendation to two, and so the
bill passed Congress. The third battle
ship authorized last year was provided
for in a separate bill, its cost to be de-
frayed out of the sale Of two old ships
TO Greece.
The plan for the army. as II is be-
lieved 20 have been settled between Mr..
Bryan and the President, will provide
for no increase in the number Of regi-
ments. but will authorize a reorganiza-
tion and the abandonment OF many
posts through the West, thus making
the mobile force larger. The details.
of course, will be left to the General
STAFF and Secretary Garrison.
Mr.. Bryan was told tonight that
many OF his friends insisted on coup
ling his name with the Democratic
nomination for 1916.
81 don't think that any OF my friends
are talking about anything Of the
kind" smiled Mr.. Bryan.
Perhaps they are your admirers,
but not your friends ," was suggested.
"My friends" he continued, ignoring
the interruption, would come to me
for suggestions before making any
comments about my running for the
Presidency"
