BIO dRIDIRoN TEAMS ROUTED

The day of the "Big Four" in foot
ball Is over. The defeat of both
Yale and Harvard by Brown Uni
versity, Of Harvard by Tufts. and
later Of Tufts by Princeton, has
given the Providence eleven a fair
claim to the football crown in the
East at least.
Time was when the Yale bulldog
was master Of the football field.
Then came a revision in the grid
iron code, and the smaller elevens
came in for a period of success. Yale
was kicked about by little teams.
Syracuse, Colgate, Pittsburgh,
Washington and Jefferson, Pennsyl-
vania State, Tufts, Rutgers, and
others sprung sensations on the big
fellows.
Now comes Brown with a Just
claim TO the football championship.
While the University of Pittsburgh
has been undefeated the Brunonians
have kept their goal line inviolate.
Three field goals have been regis
tered against Brown, but no runner
has been able to cross the final white
washed line for a touchdown. Har.

READY PoR A GOLD INVASION


the metropolis have just been dis
covering something that this news
paper announced some weeks ago
concerning the financial dispositions
of the entente nations. The British
government has gathered a huge
store of gold at Ottawa, and New
York is wondering how it got there,
and why.
All the essential facts shout this
accumulation Of gold at Ottawa
were given by The Times weeks ago,
on the best authority. For the
greater part, it is Australia's and
South Africa's gold, which has been
brought to Canada via the Pacific be-
cause it is safer. There are no COM
merce raiders and no submarines in
the ocean. It comes to Vancouver
and is shipped by rail to Ottawa, the
Dominion capital. As The Times
stated long ago and the financial
writer's are just learning, this gold
is carried as reserve by the Bank
of England. b. .
Gold held in Ottawa is just as
useful to Britain and her allies as
gold in London; even more 30, in
fact, for it is where it can be with
absolute safety transferred to the
new gold capital Of the world at any
time, to buy goods In the one great
neutral industrial market, America.
So long as the American financial
market will buy securities or other
wise extend credit to the allied ma
tions, it is gathered, the British
financial authorities have no inten-
ton Of dumping this Canadian store
Of gold upon this country. But if at
any time the United States shall de-
cline further to absorb the securities
offered by the allied nations, then
the gold will be sent here to pay for
necessaries.
Bankers in this country, realizing
that every dollar Of gold means the
creation Of banking credit for sew
eral other dollars, naturally fear the
possible results Of shoveling all this
gold into the United States, already
possessed of about one-third of the
worlds stock. For that would in
tensify the imitation that is already
suspected of having much to do with
the rise in prices and the strong
speculative tendency in this country,
and would increase the difficulty Of
the financial readjustment after the
war, when Europe will seek by SELL
ing cheap goods and cheap securities,
to get the gold back.
The story was some time ago pub
lished, that the entente nations
were threatening, if this country
would not take their bonds without
collateral, to dump a vast amount Of
gold here, and then demonetize it.
That story need not, for the present
at least, be taken very seriously.
England, chief producer Of the
worlds gold and leader in estab-
fishing the gold standard. will not
demonetize gold. She may be forced
to a paper basis; indeed, the gold re-
serves Of England and France have
shrunk far below the point that in
peace would be esteemed safe and
desirable, and will doubtless shrink
far more. Nevertheless the gold
basis will be maintained nominally,
and will be restored in fact and sub
stance, as soon as possible after the
war. Americas problem will be to
withdraw from circulation an over
supply of gold, and return it to the
European countries, without pullinc
down a great fabric Of swollen
prices and speculative values,

STRIKE ORDER TEXT
URGES NO VIOLENCE

Washington. August 28.-Follow-
ing is the text of the strike order
sent out by brotherhood leaders last
night:
Sirs and Brothers: This is to ad-
wise that the vote of the employees
in train and engine service on the
eight-hour day and time and one-half
overtime proposition was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of a strike.
Notwithstanding this, your repre-
sentatives have been unable to effect
a satisfactory settlement and a strike
under the laws of the respective or
CARNATIONS becomes effective on
September a, 1916, at z a. m.
Impart this information so those
interested will understand that they
are to promptly obey.
On a separate sheet the duties of
members and officers in the conduct
of a strike are set forth:
No man in road service involved in
the strike will perform any service
after the hour set to strike, unless
he has already begun a trip and has
actually left the terminal. If the
train has left the terminal he will
complete the trip and deliver the
engine and train at the end of the
run, or tie up point if tied up under
the law. after which he will perform
no further service until the close of
the strike.
So far as your legal right to strike
is concerned, there is no difference
between a mail train and a freight
train. You have identically the same
right to refuse to perform service on
a mail train as you have to refuse to
perform service on a freight train.
All men on strike will keep away
from the company's property, except
such men as are designated certain
duties to be performed by the author
ity of the organizations.
Every mar should understand that
the laws of the land must be obeyed.
Acts of violence of any nature will
not be tolerated by the organizations.
