A|LES DISCUSSES
EUROPEAN CREDITS
Problem May Be Partially SolV-
ed by Pledges of American
Securities.

The continued stability OF the credit
of European governments is a matter
of vital in portance to the United
States, both as affecting American for
eign trade and her home industries, ac-
corGing to Milton f. Allies. of the Riggs
National Bank and Washington repre-
sontativcs of the National City Bank. OF
New York
Mr. Allies intimated that the timo
night soon come when the credit of
European buyers would become so eX
haustcd as to make it dangerous for
American creditors to sell them goods
or loan them more money unless It Is
possible for those governments to pledge
as security foreign-owned American
stocks and bonds. Such security, he
said would partly solve the problem.
but he pointed out that up to now Eng
land has had difficulty in getting those
owning American securities to loan
them for such purpose

might be apt to produce just such a
condition as precipitates a panic, be-
cause of over-contidence wild specu-
lhtton. and over-eXpansion of industry.
For that very reason he said the large
banks of the country are now holding
in reserve many millions more than the
legal requirement and he stated that a
high official of the Treasury recently
commended the banks for this fore
sight.

SUMMER LITERATURE

A good many people whose busy
days give them but scant time never
take up a book until vacation time.
For such as these there is always a
special menu of Summer literature"
"a variety of letters that bears the
same relation to literature that the
"tired business man" girl-show does
to the drama.
In these serious times it is per-
haps not impertinent to make an ap-
peal even to the vacation reader. Let
him for once resist the lure of the
blurb on the fancy paper jacket of
the newest novel and read some
thing that will certainly entertain
him highly and perchance make him
think little.

NEW METHOD RIVAL
TO TWILIGHT SLEEP
American Surgeons Develop
Gas Oxygen Treatment for
Expectant Mothers.

NEW YORK, July 10.-American ply
sicians have discovered and developed
a methq< Of inducing anacsthesa during
childbirth which is rivalling the Ger
man so-called twilight sleep" and is
considered by many surgeons ana
obstetrcians to be superior to 1t. 1t Is
said to be not at all dangerous to child
or mother, can be used in many circum-
stances where the German method Is
out Of the question and is less expensive
and less troublesome.
This method is known as the gas
oxygen method and is. in use in most Oh
the large hospitals of New York. Brook
lyn and other American cities. Many
physicians are using 1t in their private
practice, as special surroundings are not
necessary for the success of the method.

Upon the patient telling the physician
that pain was setting in the gas was
turned on, the patient breathing IT

feel muscles contracting. the pain was
eadened. Between the periods of ac-
tion Of the muscles the gas was turned

BAD LIQUOR AUTHORIZED

The committee of the United
States Pharmacopeeial Convention
which has eliminated WHISKY and
brandy from the pharmacopoeia has
committed grave error. With this
elimination disappears all regula-
tion of the quality of liquor used by
druggists in the filling Of bona
fide prescriptions. The unprlncipled
druggist may substitute for stand
ard liquor a combination of alcohol
and coloring substance totally at
variance with the intentions OF the
physician. 1t is only a fragile de-
fense of this act that claims that It
will reduce the evil of drug stores
as "blind tigers" in dry States. One
Of the evils of the liquor business
is that there is no standard Of quail
ity enfsrcible in the saloon, and now
the drug store Is to be allowed un-
limited license in the substitution OF
bad products where good seem
necessary.

Police Use Drastic Methods To Gel
Credit Marks, He SAYS.

To the Editor of THE TIMES
Some months ago We had a Senate
committee touring the country, COM
missioned to investigate the third de-
gree" activities OF the police depart
ments. The committee reported, I be-
lieve. that it could secure no tangible
evidence that third degree" methods
were being used. Two specific instances
within the past few days now afford
that committee most excellent oppor-
tunities for securing such evidence, or
else certain newspapers have subjected
themselves to action for libel.
We read concerning the apprehension
OF Forney at Pittsburgh. all the explicit
details of the treatment the accused
was subjected to personal violence and
even threats of death. Now we have
the accounts OF the inquisition of Holt
IT appears they Just about finished him.
The after-thought denials of the police
are amusing. or rather to be derided,
for you and I know they use such
methods every day. In the most minor
ofrenses to the gravest of crimes, to
force from suspects. by abuse, torture,
and intimidation any statement or at
titude which might aid in a conviction
OF the suspect whether he be guilty or
not. The police feel above the law, and
feel concerned only In securing a con-
viction-getting a credit mark.

THE RUSSIAN STAND

Reading between the lines, the
contradictory dispatches from Petro-
grad and Berlin agree upon one
thing - the Russian flight has
stopped, the German advance has
been checked. Whether it is for a
day, or a month, it is evident that
Germany again has failed in her
efforts to destroy the Russian army.
With that army still in the field,
despite it's huge losses and its in
ferior equipment, Germany cannot
resume the offensive in the west
without exposing her weaker ally
to danger.
The German objective was Paris.
1t failed. The German objective was
Warsaw. 1t failed, not once, but
four times and again is upon the
point of failure. The German OBJ
jective was Calais. 1t failed.
Magnificent as is its war machine,
wonderfully efficient as is its system
Of supplies, Germany has not yet
gained a decisive victory.
And time fights on the other side.

MOTHER

noted British military leader told
me that 1t was not the sight of the
dead, the terrible carnage. or the dread
ful desolation Of the war zone that
awake nights. but 1t was the cries of
the wounded men for their mothers.
So spoke Mrs. Philip Snowden,
wife of the English labor leader in
parliament, in an address to the
peace advocates in session at San
Francisco.
Probably no word has been more
often spoken on the grim and grisly
fields of European carnage than
Mother" In score of tongues it
has meant the same thing and has
drawn the same mental picture.
However bravely the gray-haired
woman had said good-by, the boy
had known that her soul was wrung
and her heart almost bursting with
her sorrow. In the glory of going
away he may have for a moment
forgotten her sad figure, but the
rigors of the march, the suffering of
the trenches, the perils of the
charge, all recalled that last home
scene.
And when his turn came, when the
one bullet from out all the millions
fired sought him as it's mark and
he fell bleeding and wounded, the
one word that came to his lips was
"Mother!" He knew that if she
could hear him call she would come
and he felt that perhaps even across
the battlefield the word by some
strange means might reach her lis
tening ear.
Poor mothers! How keenly they
are suffering, how much more of the
burden of war they are bearing than
they receive credit for; how quickly,
could their fond lips give the word,
would the battling cease. In cot
tage and in palace, on the heaths
and hills of England and on the
sunny slopes of France, from the
Riviera to the bleak steppes of Rus
sia, as fond in Germany as in any
of the allied countries, they are
waiting, those mothers, hoping,
praying; waiting none knows for
how long, though all know it may be
forever. We who are at peace pity
the sons at war, but keener far is
the suffering of that sorrow-bowed
figure that stayed behind. God
! bless her.

SAYvILLE WIRELESS SEIZURE

Without doubt those private indi-
viduals who have been operating the
wireless station at Sayville, Long
Island, will be gratified that the
United States Government has taken
over the plant, and will conduct it in
the charge of our naval officers.
Those individuals must be gratified,
because they have given every as
surance that they were not trans
mitting messages conflicting with
our laws of neutrality or in any
other ways improper, that they have
never done this, that they have no
desire ever to do it.
Of course, since they have not
been doing anything they ought not
to have done they cannot suffer
hardship or even inconvenience by
having the Government operate the
station for them; for just as thew
have been doing only what was right
and proper in the past, the Govern
ment officers operating the station
unquestionably will not interfere
with their doing in the future only
what is right and proper.
And, whereas those individuals
have been the object of unjust
criticism and cruel aspersions as tc
what they have been doing or try.

of all suspicion, which will be both
a comfort and a pleasure to them

THE PUBLIC UTILITIES REPORT

The mott important fact disclosed
in the annual report of the Public
Utilities Commission, just made
public, is that the work of the valua-
ton bureau has been hampered and
delayed by the attitude of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany and the Potomac Electric Pow
er Company.
The thing in which the people are
most interested is rates, for the
question of universal transfers as
well as the price of electric lights,
gas, and telephone service is bound
up in the problem of rates.
The commission properly takes
the ground that rates depend in
large part upon the value of the
property of each particular utility;
and as the valuations are not COM
pleted no rates have been fixed.
This report, it should be remem-
bered, covers only the calendar year
of 1914. 1t is to be hoped that the
dilatory tactics of the companies
that refused to cooperate with the
commission have been abandoned, or
at any rate, modified, since the be-
ginning of the present year.
Perhaps the real reason for the
unexpected behavior of these two
companies is to be found in three
paragraphs of the report under the
heading Rates" These read as
follows:
1) The board Of directors and officers
of this company 1.-THE Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, and Of its
subsidiary railway companies and of
the Potomac Electric Power Company
are in large part The same.
R) There was in existence a contract
between The Washington Railway and
| Electric Power Company fixing the
should purchase current from the latter
company. This contract. though never
abrogated, was being ignored. Search
was made for some basis on which
rates for current were paid by the for
mer to the latter company. but with
out success.
(9 Current was being sold by the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
| pdHy 10 llS railway COM
panies at different rates and based on
different units of measurement. Search
was made for some basis on which
rates for current were paid by the lat
ter companies to the former, but with
out success.
If electric current is being sold at
tariff rates to some consumers and
at other and secret rates to other
consumers, here is a matter into
which the commission will do well
to inquire further. The people will
not be content with the statement
"Search was made but with.
out success"
The work Of the Public Utilities
Commission Of the District of Co.
lumbia is barely begun. The Dis.
trict is to be congratulated upon the
fact that the commission preferred
first to get the facts and all the
facts before taking any action
rather than to have instituted radi
cal changes based upon guessworl
or prejudice.
The present report will reassurt
the public that the commission il
working steadily, if quietly, to ac
complish a successful and reason
able regulation of the publ cutili
ties of the District. For the present
that should suffice. When the valua
tions are complete and the basi
facts are before it, the commission
will be expected to inaugurate ;
regulation that will regulate.

Eat Cows and Heifers.

Chicago, June .4-Corn fed cows and
heifers of good to choice class were
scarce in Wednesdays cattle receipts
and got action at steady prices. Much
of the modest she stock. supply on offer,
however, consisted of plain, medium
and low grade stuff off pasture, includ-
ing quite showing of dairy breeds,
and for all such it was slow going

Mondays advance, as 1t applied to
the, better grades of fat cows and heif-

well maintained and for such the trade
is showing price levels much the same
