other view shared by all the greatest 1 firanciers that the cost of world war would make an undertaking of that kind prohibitive. It was commonly said In | New York in leading financial circles just | before the war actually began that diplo- macy at the last moment would take the place of powder and ball because it would be realized that the cost of such a | war as this one was likely to be if it began would be so stupendous that it would leaf. either to a very early peace or the realization of the cost would pre- l vert actual war from beginning. MT. Lament says that this was an illusion. After almost two years of war such as | the world has never seen, there seems I to be rc indication that it will be ended l on account of financial exhaustion. Yet the cost so far is immensely in ex- l cess of the early expectations of what | that cost would be. The highest esti- l mate of students and statisticians of the daily cost of a great war was that Ii would be for each nation much as l s, ,OOO, GOO, That was an illusion The cost per day in the case of Great Britain be- came in a short time $10,OO0OO0 and early in tie months of the war the British peo- pie received admonition from the prime minister that even that amount would l be insufficient. The latest statement of | the cost to Great Britain is that the l sum is scE, ,0O0, 900 day. and the cost Of all the belligerents per day is placed l by MT. Lamont at sl0S ,o000Oo.
 l In a few words, MT. Lamont makes clear explanation of the ability of the belligerent nations to extend the war not withstanding this enormous expenditure. He says that although the present eX- penditures have no precedent In any pre- yious war, there is the extraordinary fact to be considered that the available resources have been increasing appar- ontly at a faster rate than have the ex- pen6itures. This seems paradoxical. pu.
 MT Lamont regards it is an established fact.
 A THIRD ILLUSION
 There is a third financial illusion to which Mr. Lamont makes reference. It is ere which was entertained by mary of the leading men of finance and coTl- merce just before the European war be- gan One of the abest of the American ccnst, uctive forces said to his friends that Germany would not precip,tate a war since a war would either inperil or destroy the magnificent fabric of for eign trade which that nation has been sc long occupied in making. MT. I.dmont puts the thought in this way: Int srhit- tional trade and exchange, soundly built up for several generations, was so firmly established that nothing could wreck it. But that is now found to have been an illusion. With the outbreak of war American exchanges broke down over night and coincidental with and follow ing this downfall were to be seen all the phenomena of the world turned topsy -turvy-all precedent, all tradition, went by the board"
 After having thus called attention to
 the astounding demonstration of finan-
 ciai illusion MT. Lamont makes very
 careful analysis of present day condi-
 tions and upon 1t bases his plea to Amer
 ica,s to accept the great opportunities
 that are now open to them.

So they let it go, and with the aid of the whisperings of a few glasses or what Broadway offers, they seem to think that they are possessed of exha ustless wealth-until 1t is ex- hausted.

LITTLE NEW YORK STORIES
 BY A BIRMINGHAM MAN
By ALLEN GRIFFIN JOHNSON

New York, June 22.-(Special.) )-Billy Weaver, an old Nashville boy, who sidestepped professional baseball in order that he might star in the field of busi- ness and who is, incidentally, doing
 mighty well in Manhattan these rainy
 summer days, made this surprising state n1ent to me the other day on lower Broadway:
 Here's my address," as he handed me his card, now that you are living here I'm glad for you to have it, but I want to ask you not to give it away to any e our numerous southern friends who visit the city,
 That So surprised me that I had to have q reason.
 You see,' said Billy, smiling, but
 meaning it all just the same, q like to see the boys from home as much as
 anybody, but I have been seeing them ever since I have been living in New | York, and don't believe could name l one case in each ten, wherein I failed tc get touched for from s5 to $10-and it's a long way from Dixie to the heart of Whats the idea, Billy, I asked, do all your friends come here broker? Not by any means,' he answered, 'it' S just the other way round. They come here we'll healed. and they get mixed up on how much money they can afford to spend. New York does that to lots of

to that we never see them at all. There is the railroad Plenty of romantic mys- tery is to be found in the railroad yard of a great terminal. It is, first of all, a network of steel pathways which seem unthreadabe. Trains come and go by devious ways. semapnore arms rise or fall in that one rectangular gesture of theirs. The providence that shapes the ends of all this takes the form of men tugging at some very prosaic looking levers in switch towers. To get still an- other effect, look at the yard by night, when great limiteds come surging through the dark, when the only guides are set pieces of multicolored switch and signal lamps. The cars of night freights being made up trundle about. And the yard never sleeps In it's way it is as full of life as the jungle. Every locomotive is a dragon harnessed to mans service. The marvels of science are all about us, and the ones we have grown used to are just as remarkable as those of today and to- morrow.

The men will be given day or two in which to bid their relatives good bye, kiss their girls, etc., and will then be taken to Montgomery.
