Jersey for them in like effective
fashion---and Just as long. *
Primary results, properly ana
lyzed, invariably shed a good deal Of
light on political conditions that af-
feet elections. There IL only one
conclusion to be drawn from primary
results in general, in the period
since the national conventions. That
Is, that the Republicans are sub
stantially reunited and determined,
while the Democrats are not. The
division in the Democratic party Is
today approximately the same that
prevailed in the Republican party
four years ago, Then, there was
a Taft and a Roosevelt faction Of
Republicans, the Roosevelt element
calling themselves Progressives.
Today there is a Wilson and an anti
Wilson element Of Democrats, and
wherever they get the chance the
anti-wilson Democrats give just
such demonstration Of their ability
to use the stiletto that they did in
Jersey.

ONCE MORE. THE aREENBAcKs

Discussion by the American Bank
ers' Association of the question Of
retiring the greenbacks, recalls at
tention to the fact that the fiat issue,
is still with us, after a generation
of effort to get it out Of our money
system. In the vast expansion,
sterilization, and reorganization of
money and credit systems in the
last two decades, the greenbacks
have become much less important
element than they were in the times
Of the Cleveland Administration.
But it is small credit to the finan-
cial wisdom Of the nation that this
issue 10 still extant.
The present would seem a most
advantageous time for a program of
retirement. The country is possessed
Of a greater stock Of gold, relatively
and absolutely, than ever before.
There would be no particular con-
traction as a result of taking out
the greenbacks. The Federal re-
serve system provides means to COM
pensate, If compensation is neces-
sary, by substituting its notes for
the greenbacks. The change would
be most easily and safely made in
such a period Of prosperity and
money plentifulness. Not to make

Leading spirits In the movement 70

unusual transportation facilities with
which washington 10 equipped for such
an industry.
George 8. Reese. OF the Board OF
Trade who has studied the transporta-
ton situation along the Atlantic sea-
board and especially Ia this vicinity.
declares the Capital IL better adapted
from transportation point of view
for the factory than any other city on
the coast.

canal linking II with the goal fields.
Besides this waterway and the Po-
tomac river the Capital has five rail-
roads running into IL.
''of course. there Ia going to be ad-
vanced the fact that the freight rates

IAN other arguments are strongly ir

ton for the plant. Probably one OF the
best arguments for the plant here Il
that most OF the iron ore needed In the
manufacture OF the plate must come
from Cuba. II this 10 so. and certain
say that there II very littie iron ore

TELLS WHY PLANT
OUGHT TO BE HERE
Louis Gathmann Explains His
Views on Armor Factory.

Strong arguments In behalf Of WASH
ington as q site for the proposed Gov
eminent armor plate factory were
given today by Louis Gathmann. naval
engineer and expert in stesi and ord
nance construction.en a statements Bro
pared for The Washington Times. He
said:
TN Washington or in ths vicinity OF
this city we have sites for the manu-
faofure of armor as good as any in the
country. Coal can be obtained here as
cheap as anywhere else by water, and
raw materials can be brought here
cheaply by boat. The amount Of metal
which would be used. about 1000 tons
OF armor. ID Comparatively a small item
when compared with what the large
steel manufacturers use.
''Washington's great advantages as a
site for the plant lie in the fact first.
that II Is In the neigffborhood Of the
naval proving grounds. and, second.
that II IL in the location of the Ord
nance and Construction Bureaus Of the
navy.
AS far as labor In concerned. there is
no question OF getting II here. WASH
ington Is as healthy a place as there Is
in the country. and labor could be
drawn easily from other steel factories
throughout the country. And Washing
ton would ind great advantage in hav-
Ing here a few thousand more skilled
mechanics"

GREECE TAKES THE PLUNGE

Athens reports, though unofficial
ly, that the Greek army is forthwith
to be mobilzed and put in service
with the allies; that manifesto will
be issued setting forth the griev-
ances Of Greece against Bulgaria
and her allies, and that declaration
Of war will Immediately follow.
Whether matters have gone SO far
rs this, it is as good as certain that
they must do 30 very shortly, 1t
has been for q fortnight merely a
question whether the government Of
King Constantine would yield to the
national demand and save its face
by leading, or whether Constantine's
nominal sovereignty would have to
be effaced before a united Greek ma
ton could do the things it is deter
mined upon. Constantine, according
to the most recent reports, has yield
ed and will try tc save his crown.
Greece as a factor in the. war will
not be very important; certainly not
for considerable time. Its army
of 100000 men ought to be the most
effective in all Bahama, save for
Roumania's; but it has become ut
terly demoralized during the period
of purposeless vacillation that has
cost Greece more dearly than ever
war could have cost. However, the
allies have become experts in max
ing armies out of inchoate human
resources, plus their own wonderful
organization for equipping and
financing their associates. They may
make great army for Greece in
astonishingly short time, and Greece
may yet become a real figure in the
world contest. She is the sixteenth
nation to enter the war.

LLoYD-dEoRdE's ULTIMATUM

David Lloyd George, British secre-
tary for war, is the man who han
died the finances Of the United King
dom, as chancellor Of the exchequer,
in the earlier stages of the contest.
He planned the wonderful mobiliza-
ton of British wealth and credit,
organized the taxation scheme that
has paid a large part Of thes wars
expense from current revenues, and
inspired British industry and COM
merce to the magnificent squirt that
has almost sustained it's normal ac-
tivity despite the drafts Of men and
money to the great struggle.
Then he was called to the minis
try of munitions, because the best
man for that task was instantly
needed. He framed his machine and
organized his industry, just in time
to be summoned to the secretary
ship for war when Kitchener was
lost.
1t Is Lloyd-George, more than any
other man, who made possible the
consolidation Of the economic re-
sources of the allies, under the
leadership of Britain, and the uni
fication of their military policy un-
der Joffre. Therefore when Lloyd
George speaks, it may be understood
that his is the voice Of the military
as well as the economic and the
spiritual power of the united oppo-
nents of Teutonic militarism.
From London comes today an in.
terview with this remarkable man,
which must have a profound sig
nificance. It is a service of notice
on the world. that no interference
will be tolerated now; no well-mean-
ing but inopportune proposals look.

nouncement by the fact that politi,
cal campaigns is in progress in this
country, and by the further fact tina,

AMERICAN GAIN IN WEALTH

There is an impressive paragraph
in the address that Mr.. John Skel-
ton Williams, the Comptroller of the
Currency, delivered before the ma
tional bank section Of the American
Bankers Association. He had been
talking about the vast expansion Of
the money stock and the accumulated
bank credits of the country since
the war began; and he used this il
lustration:
Our deposits in all the banks
throughout the United States at this
time are SO huge that II there should
be withdrawn from these banks an
resources at this time Of the Bank
Of England. the Bank of France, the
Bank of Spain. the Bank of Meth
erlands, the Bank of Norway, the
Bank OF Sweden. the National Bank
Of Switzerland. and the Imperial
Bank Of Japan all combined. the de-
posits of our banks would still be
as great as they were three years
ago.
1t is a showing almost unbeliev-
able; yet it is based on the figures.
There is occasion for concern as well
rs qualification, in such condition.
The temptation to excuses of all
kinds do not require to be described,
and could not be enumerated. The
dangers of prosperity are always
made plain to US when adversely sue
ceeds it, as adversely always does,
sooner or later. Mounting to a pin
nacle Of prosperity higher than was
ever erected before, there is the more
need to bear in mind that the depths
Of adversely may often correspond
to the heights that are climbed.
Before this country lies the privi-
lsge, the duty, and obligation Of
leadership in the economic rehabili-
tation of the world after the war. II
our resources are husbanded and
wisely used, that process will add yet
more to our store and our strength.
II they are dissipated even before
the time Of stress and need shall
come, then our misfortune will be
greater in proportion not only to
what we lose, but to what also we
might have gained.

A BIT HARD TO EXPLAIN

Various Democratic authorities are
coming forward with explanations
Of the nomination of Senator Mar
tine to succeed himself in the New
Jersey Democratic primary. Con-
gresham Scully, Democrat, and sup
porter of MARITIME, comes boldly for
ward with quite the most edifying
claim for the man whom President
Wilson wanted defeated. He says
the nomination Of MARITIME is a great
thing for the President; it will Gin
fuse into the campaign an element
OF popular favor that would have
been lacking" if Mr.. Westcott, sup
ported by the President. had been
nominated.
That is one Of the most obvious
political truisms thay could we'll be
formulated. 1t always testifies to
the popular strength Of a leader to
have his recommendation rejected
and to have the candidates whom
he supports overwhelmingly beaten.
Mr.. Wilson manifestly is going to be
: strong with the voters of New Jer-
sew on election day; the proof IL
that he was weak with them in the
primary. It is as clear as mud; as
plain as Egyptian darkness.
The fact is that New Jersey Is
going Democratic by $4,000. II
there is any doubt of it, that doubt
is removed by the announcement To
this effect by Chairman Mccormick
of the Democratic national commit.
tee. He is the same astute fore.
caster who carried Maine for the
Democrats down to the night before
the late election. He will carry New
