NO END IN SIGHT.

When it is remembered that the
war is costing other nations pro-
portionately as much as Great Brit
ain, and more where cities and dis
tricts are wiped out, this devasta-
ton seems utterly beyond human
comprehension. 1t would seem as
if exhaustion alone must quickly
end such terrific cataclysm. Yet,
it would be premature to calculate
upon any such result at an early
date; for the struggle may last an
other year unless a military miracle
of some sort hastens the end.
1t must be borne in mind that the
resources and population and wealth
of the principal belligerents have
been enormously augmented since
the last great war, and it is doubt
full if the per capita cost of this war
to the taxpayer is any greater than
the Napoleonic war which ended
with the battle of WatrloO. In the
case of Great Britain. it is calcu
lated that her national income is
about O,OOO,0OO,0OO annually; SO
that with her vast investments
abroad, valued at 100000, 900, 900,
and her foreign trade of nearly ST.
100000 annually. it is quite
evident that thus far Britains finan-
cial resources are far from being
seriously strained This cannot be
said of some of the other contest
ants; and if the war is to be one of
able, these are factors which will
play an important and perhaps a de-
cisive part.
GOLD NOT WANTED.
For some time to come sterling
exchange must continue an i'm
portant factor in this market It's
course may have either a depressing
or a stimulating effect, according to
circumstances. The belligerents,
especially Great Britain, are buying
enormous quantities of war material
in this country, for which they can
not pay by selling us our usual
quota of European products, mainly
because they have not such to sell,
except in lessened quantities. Pay
ment to us of what is due is there
fore impossible at present, except by
sending gold or securities. The
former we do not want, because our
supply is burdensome, and imports
since January 1 have been about
Sill, 100000, including the entire
$S0,000,0 900 sent to Canada since the
war began. Our enormous gold sup
ply must eventually have a pro-
nounced infationary effect upon all
values in this country. Credit is
already remarkably cheap to good
borrowers. Our banking position is
exceptionally sound, and under the
new Federal Reserve system we are
in an excellent position to lend free
Iy, there being no reason whatever
why we should not extend liberal
credits to Europe if necessary. On
the other hand, further imports of
gold will prove an embarrassment of
riches, and no little pressure is be-
ing brought to bear to induce for
eign holders to sell a portion of
their securities in this market 1t
is understood that large amounts of

able employment to hundreds If per-
sons. The Industrial Department of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway has aided in the work
of establishing these cooperative
creameries along it's line, and stands
ready at all times to further the
work in other sections.
1t is believed by those who have
given the matter thought, that once
the farmers and dairymen of the
State are aroused to the possibilities
of the creamery business, and are
brought to a realization of the OPP
portunities of such market, that
Tennessee will come into her own
as dairy State, and that Tonnes
see-made butter will be put on the
map" as Mr.. Hutton expresses it:

ALL PARTY LINES IN
ENGLAND OBLITERATED
Asquith Says Forces United in
Prosecution of War.

London, June 15.-Premier AS
quith, on moving vote of credit for
$3.50, 100000 informed the mem
bers of the House of Commons to-
day that the expenditures in the
next three months would be not less
than SIS, 100000 daily.
Mr.. Asquith said he had decided,
slowly and reluctantly, but in the
end without doubt, that what was
necessary was such a broadening of
the basis of the government as
would remove even the semblance
of a one-sided or party character.
He continued:
This would demonstrate beyond
all possibility of doubt, not only to
our people at home and across the
seas, but to the whole world-our
allies, our enemies and neutrals-
that after nearly a year of war, with
it's fluctuations and vicissitudes, the
British people are more resolved
than ever, with whole heart and
one purpose obliterating all distinc-
ton of party, to unite every per-
sonal and political as we'll as every
moral and material force in the
prosecution of our case"
In a general survey of the situa-
ton the premier referred to the re-
construction of the government. He
declared he would not have been
justified in taking the course he did
under the pressure of outside in
f1uence or because of the temporary
embarrassment. The task was as
unwelcome as could fall to the lot
of any man.
After paying tribute to his late
colleagues, Mr.. Asquith claimed for
himself and his new colleagues the
stanchest adherence to their re-
spective political parties. He ad-
mitted the word coalition" had not
pleasant favor in the vocabulary
of British politics, previous de-

partures from the British system OF
party government having been found
wanting in dignity and success.
"The situation was without par
allel in our history" the premier
said. THE demand which it would
make upon the energies of the ma
ton and upon the patience and fore
sight of the government and the
confidence felt by the one in the
other could not be measured by any
precedent. But our national policy
remains unchanged-to pursue this
war at any cost to a victorious is
sue"
Sir Edward Carson, the Irish
Unionist leader, like John Redmond,
the Irish party leader in the House
of Commons did not want to join
the coalition cabinet, said Premier
Asquith to-day in speech of trib-
ute to those who were supporting
the. government

clined when it was suggested that
he join the administration" the
premier said, land it was only
strong pressure and his sense of
public duty which made him asso-
ciate himself with the government. I"

Nevertheless, with the expectation
of enormous Rotations of foreign
loans, it would seem as if further
distribution of these holdings was
inevitable. If British capitalists
should desire to take their own ma
tional loans when offered they would
find ready purchasers for their
American investments in this mar
ket, or they could easily be utilized
as collateral. There is an abund-
ance of funds here awaiting just

OPPORTUNITY FOR TENNESSEE.
Dairy Specialist Says Natural Con-
ditions Are Excellent.

"Tennessee's natural conditions
are excellent for dairy farming. 1t
is one of the best adapted countries
and least developed along this line"
This is what Mr.. c. A. Hutton, at
tached to the dairy department of
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
says of the opportunities offered in
Tennessee for dairy farming and the
work of organizing creamery asso-
Citations Mr.. Hutton is now en-
gagged in work of this character with
the University of Tennessee, and has
already secured the hearty co-opera-
ton of the Industrial Department of
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railway and several other
roads operating in the State in the
furtherance of his plans for making
Tennessee great dairy State.
while it is not generally KNOWN"
continued Mr.. Hutton, Tennessee
creameries are to-day turning out as
good grade of butter as that brought
into the State from Northern cream
cries, and this home product can be
bought at 2 cents per pound less
than the Northern butter for the
reason that it is made closer to the
consuming market"
COOPERATION NEEDED.
What Tennessee needs just now
to advance the development of the
dairy industry" he continued, lis
little more cooperation on the part
of i, her citizens. Let them ask for
Tennessee-made butter, increase the
demand for the product of the
creameries already established in the
State, and then others will soon be
established"
At present there are cooperative
creameries at Knoxville, at Muir
freesboro, at Winchester and Chapel
Hill, and Mr.. Hutton is creating
much interest among the farmers
and dairymen in other sections of
the State in an effort to show them
the great possibilities of this in
dustry, which is practically new and
untried in a territory which is I'M
usually favored for its successful
prosecution.
Thousands of dollars are being
sent out of the State into other sec
lions annually for product which
can be made in Tennessee, and made
just as good, if not better, than the
Northern product which is being
marketed in this territory.
The cooperative creameries al
ready established in Tennessee have
been built up thru the cooperation |
of the dairymen and farmers of the
several communities. After they |

EXCHANGE LOW
England's Credit Better Than Other
Belligerents.

New York, June 20.-Sterling ex-
change was once more the feature
in financial affairs. The pound
sterling sold this week at 4.76A the
lowest quotation in over a century.
This is adiscount of about 2 "a per
cent, and compares with discount
of about 4 per cent. on French eX-
change, is on italian, 16 on Ger
man and "a on Russian. This de-
moralization of exchange, as every
one knows, is due to the war and
the consequent impairment of ma
tional credit The decline has been
complicated by the violent disloca-
tionof our foreign trade with the
belligerents. While our imports
have declined materially, our ex-
ports have increased enormously,
creating fabulous excess in the lat
ter of about ,OOO,OO0,OOO during
she closing fiscal year.
These comparisons show that thus
lar Great Britain Has SIOOu the
strain far better than any other ma
ton, and while it is possible that
sterling may sell at still lower fig
ures, there are as yet no signs of
weakness in Britain's ability to fl
nance both herself and her allies
until the end of the war. The ex-
hibition of strength and skill which
British finance is making is remark
able, and far exceeds all eXpecta-
tons; nothing like it having ever
been witnessed in history. Thus far
the national debt of Great Britain
has increased about $4,000,000, 900,
and has more than doubled in
amount since the war began. Mr..
Asquith notified his fellow-country
men the other day that the war,
which has been costing about $13,-
100000 a day, including about ST.
100000 advanced to her allies,
will soon cost over SIS, 100000, or
at the rate of nearly IS, ,000,0 200
