GREAT NATIONSFACE
 BANKRUPTCY, H|RST
London Writer Predicts Financial
 Failure for Belligerents

London, July 8.-Francis w. Hirst, the prominent financial writer in his valedictory resigning the editorship of The London Economist after a tenure of nine years, says:
 Tn my view, the financial fab bric of western Europe is in imminent peril, and in few more months it will no longer be possible to disguise the bankrupt condition of several great nations Civilization, as we have known it, and representative institu- tions are doomed unless through the exertions of individuals the rights without which an Englishman, at any rate, will hardly care to live, are speedily restored. To this end free dom and independence must somehow be won back for parliament and the press.''
 MT. Hirst has been an opponent of the restrictions enforced by the de- fense of the realm act and "secret di- plomacy." Replying to The Times, which states that he imparted to The Economist ' a distreSsingly pacifiSt policy" he says:
 Tn plain English, I am accused of being a peacemaker. The accusation is not distressing to me. I plead guilty to the charge. It has been my pripcl- pal object during the last year to prepare the public mind for peace by separating passion and fiction from reason and fact, and if could believe l had hastened it's advent by one day and saved the precious lives and limbs lost in tWenty-fOur hours. I should feel myself to have won a prize worth all the titles that emperors shower OH their favorites and ministers on their supporters.
 That the negotiation of peace is a difficult task I admit. That the attain ment of an honorable and lasting set clement is beyond the region of com- potent diplomacy I deny That peace is desired by all belligerent nations I feel certain, and the fact that the cir culation of The Economist has touched it's height during the last few weeks may serve to indicate the feel ing of our business men,"
 Hartley Withers, financial adviser to the treasury, succeeds MT. Hirst a s editor of The Economist. It is under stood the proprietors of the paper dis agreed with MT. Hirst's editorial policy.

TAYLOR, DRAMATIST,
 DIES IN NEW YORK
Was Associate Of Mark TWain~
 Introduced Patti

New York; July S.-Howard P. Taylor, dramatist and playwright, died yesterday at his home, 5s3 River side Drive. He had been suffering ; for six years with rheumatism.
 MT. Taylor, who was for years close associate of Mark Twain, was born in Louisville, March 8, 1888. He went to California when a boy; be- came a printers devil in the office of the old San Francisco Argonaut, be- came an editorial writer and then hiked out for Virginia City, New, where he got to know Twain. In San Francisco he built the old Grand Opera house and managed it for years. He was the first to induce Adelina Patti to tour as far as the Coast and then he took her into Mexico. His first venture in playwriting was Snowflake" in which he starred An nie Pixley. His next great success was Caprice which Minnie Mad dern Fiske played for seven years. His works include Inherited" "The Little Pauper," Lady Ashley" ''The Little Sinner" "Infatuation, Dim ples," Little Puck" made famous by Frank Daniels; The Pulse of New York; Pretty Miss Nobody" Irish Inspiration " The Diamond Breaker, Nell Gwynn," "Chrissy," Flashlights of New York" "Sinless Sinners" "So- ciety Shadows Maine and Georgia" :" "A Drummer in Petticoats," "Scram- bled Matrimony," "A Break for Lt- berty," and The Jolly Widow His last play was Pretty Miss Nobody" first produced about eight years ago and is still playing.
 According to his son, Howard Pren- tiss Taylor, a banker of Pittsburgh, who was summoned to his fathers bedside a few days ago, and who is at the Waldorf-Astoria, MT.

The last book he wrote was '"The Idiosyncra- sies of Mark Twain.'

 His body will be cremated and taken to California to be buried by the side of his mother and sister

FRENCH ADMIRE
 BRITISH FIGHTERS
Sector North of Somme is Difficult Place in Which to Attacl1-Guns
 Brought Up.

Paris, July S.-The French are watching with admiration the fight ing of the British troops in the sector north of the SOmme river. The great natural and artificial difficulties with which they have to contend are real ized and all agree that they are doing as much as humanly possible.
 French military opinion is that the German positions are so strong and so well furnished by lines of communi- cation that the British will be able to accomplish little more until the heavy French guns are installed in side the French salient whence they can enfilade the German positions opposite to the British As these guns of 3O5 and 400 millimetres are mounted on railroad trucks, time is required to lay the tracks for their movement which has to be done care fully. The French are so sOlidly es- tablished that the work soon will be completed ana 1t is asserted that these guns will not be long in making their influence felt.

problems and how necessary it is for the allies to go slow.
 David Mennett, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Paris, has also warned the senatorial committee on economic organization that the economic situation with England and Russia is most delicate by reason of the action of these countries against French luXuries. Our only possible reply" he says "would be to tax pro- ducts that affect the masses.''
 A war of tariffs between the allies is said by some writers to be the in eVitable consequence of the economic war against Germany as proposed by the parliamentary conference, since discrimination against the central en- pires would leave France and Russia in the necessity of competing with Great Britain for markets that would compensate them for the loss of Ger man and Austrian trade.
 Fortunately" said an authority on economic questions concerning the work of the conference, "the parlia- mentarians who have been discussing these questions were absolutely with out official credentials; their discus sions were mere talk. and when the economic relations of the allies between themselves and with neutrals and the central empires are taken Np seri- Ously and officially, some, if not all, the uneasiness caused by the praposi-

tions of the previous conference, will be dissipated.
 'In the talk of boycotting the cen tral empires, well-intentioned people have been carried too far by their own zeal. France needs German coal; she needs the German market which, in spite of the treaty of Frankfort, took enough French goods to moro than balance the coal bought by France up to 1900. France will not easily get coal on as good terms else- where and, what is more important, she will hardly be able to trade her own goods for it.
 The proposal to engage in a var of tariffs has already produced one re- suit: It has furnished Germany with an additional argument to overcome the hesitation of Austria to enter the central European union."
