From Debtor TO Creditor

The Anglo-Freneh loan Of $4,000 900, foated
IN this market year ago. rested wholly on the
Joint credit OF the two governments, and the pro-
ceeds were equally divided between them. The
present additional British borrowing OF S250,000,-
300, like the recent additional French borrowing
OF Sl0OO00,000, Is further protected by collateral
bonds and the bonds Of number OF neutral gov
ernmcnts OF market value Of 20 per cent in ex.
cess OF the loan.
Our net foreign debt two and half years ago
vas around $4,000, 100000 II cannot be half that
igure today, and the balance Is melting away
rapidly under the continuing vast excess of ex-
ports. SO swift a rise OF the nation from debtor
70 creditor position would be beyond all belief
were not the facts so clearly beyond all dispute
This brings the total British war borrowing
in the American market up to SsSo00OOO0. Cana
da,s borrowings here since the war began total
$l1Q0OOOOO Some $43o,0O0000 has been loaned
TO France. $2600Oo,000 to Russia, s2s0O0 600 to
Italy, Sl0OOO,000 to Germany, and $27,0000 900 to
neutral European countries The grand total Of
European war loans in this market to date is
Si422,000000.

Calls 1t Safety Last.

Omaha, Aug. 2s.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: Discussing possible devel-
opments in the railroad strike situa-
ton. / recently have heard property
owners express the wish that Presi-
dent Wilson, in case the railroad
owners permit a strike, would take
forcible possession Of the cars and
tracks for the public good in the
same manner as that in which former
President Roosevelt and the United
States army threatened to appropri-
ate the anthracite coal fields.
Let me say that this program Is
safety last, not safety first, and that
its advocates are anarchists and bear
no relation whatever to socialists,
who believe in the public acquiring
the railroads and all other public
utilities in lawful and orderly way.
A suffering public has no more right
to take forcible possession Of private
property than suffering individual
has. II public neglects its own
business and squanders its own
estate, why should 1t not pay the
same penalty which 1t compels an
individual under the same circum-
stances to pay?

Roumania Enters the War.

The declaration of war on Austria-H Hungary
by Roumania, while not an unexpected move, is
one of considerable significance. From the first
il has been understood that all the Balkan
countries would be involved in the conflict, and
the fact that Germany held Russia's activity in
forming the Balkan coalition to be one of the
causes leading up to the break, has been con-
sidered reason for thinking that when Roumania
did enter, it would be against the Teutonic allies.
Bugarias action made this course for Roumania
almost certain, the time to be determined by the
progress OF the war.
Roumania will not add greatly to the numerical
strength Of the armies in the field, but its frontier
will afford a new line along which Russian troops
can operate against Austria as we'll as to facilitate
the attack on Bulgaria. This increases the prob
lem Of defense for the central powers by Just that
much That Germany has failed to consider this
element OF its great undertaking is not possible.
The advantage to the Entente Allies is that men
who are required to hold back invaders from the
Roumanan front will be taken from other battle
lines where the Teutonic hosts are now being
sorely pressed. This is the military aspect of
Roumana's action.
Politically the move is more significant 1t
u SIMPLY stdtcu ny rreinier JonesCu as Que 10 the
national instinct" which means that Roumania
covets and probably has been promised a con-
siderable area now under government of Austria
Here is one nation at least that makes no pre-
tense to service to humanity, to establishing lib.
ery, or anything Of that sort 1t is frankly after
more territory to govern.
Greece is no longer being consulted by either
side. Division OF sentiment and authority be-
tween the king and the leaders Of great political
faction has eliminated in such violation Of
Grecian neutrality by both sides as practically de-
stroys its standing as nation. Events may force
the Greeks to declare war on one side or the
other, but such advantage as Roumania may gain
will be denied the Hellenes, who have held off
too long in making their bargain.
Whether the newer moves will have any effect
in Fastening peace can not be said, but it is GER
tain that the problem of the diplomats in the way
Of map-making after the war have been further
complicated.

A MERE PHRASE.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
When the breeze came, the old philosopher
Was sitting with his chin upon his breast.
In utter WEAKNESS; even to stir
Was anguish, and in quiet was no rest
Yet he chuckled, even in his pain.
At certain simple fools who prayed Tor
RAIN"
He knew what made the drouth, and why
the heat
Was so oppressive; and he also knew
What winds and areas would have to meet.
And by what rules, ere healing breezes
blew.
He knew so much that In that bleathless
hour,
He saw no help In any higher power"
And l. of course, agreed. He showed me
charts
OF barometric pressures, curly lines
Drawn over this and all adjacent parts
And looking much like astrologic signs
But this was science. So l thought 1t odd
When the breeze came--because he cried.
Thank God"
