HIGH FINANCE.

While everyone may regard the European war with partial eyes favoring this side or that for reason of one kind or another which indi- vidually he can only explain, it is well always to remember there is another side to this war which is it. self absolutely neutral and that is the feature that is most carefully evaded in all.
 To explain: society is not run on a hugger mugger plan, with activities exciting awe and admira- tion and wonder and criticism and human emotions of one sort or an other Society is itself the mani festation of a certain accumulation of forces, always active and always motive and always present Their infinite variety compels us to over look the fact that these forces, whose manifestations fill the news DaDers as news of the day or the magazines or the scientific press with articles of near or far explain ation. are effects of definite causes which could have been reasonably foreseen had we properly kept tabs upon preceding effects and preceding causes. And these activities or ma q 5-,,, nt M turn causes, are operating with total disregard of the national feel iugs of the personal factors involved They are operating with the deadly accuracy and logical severity of the formula that two plus two equal four and they are to be changed by no incantatiOn or by any magic spell which human superstition can possibly conceive
 And so it is that reverting to the economic and financial features of the war we can consider ,nem with out allowing any national or inter national sentiment whatever to ln- tervene. providing we can get ali the facts,
 And furthermore, the most posi- tive fact about this great war is abso- lutely and certainly that things can never go on in industry or fin au.e or commerce ia Europe as they have done before.
 The nations have spent 90 enorr- ous.y and mc9taged their earnings 70 enormously that they face the nutue with no reserve.
 If we could save I'D the entire p.educt of human Iahor for one year anJ society was thereafter to abstain from further productive labor. h] snc end of Htlle over a year tie food and clothing suplies, if every need were fully satisfied, would b4 almcst exhausted.
 But not quite: there would still be some left over even if the pre- sent average waste prevailed in the distribution of that product.
 Great Britain, to cite an example of the present financial condition Of the warning nations, before the war accumulated annually one bill lion dollars over and above all re- uuirements of the owners of the machinery of production and over and above the costs of that produc- tion.
 That money was re-invested all over the world annually and these re-investments brought in to Great Britain similar returns on smaller scale which tended to increase the annual unspent increment.
 Since the war began and were 1t to end an January 1, there would be due from Great Britain fixed charges of over thirteen billion and a half.

TENNIS MEN MAY
 CALL M'LOUGHLIN AND BUNDY ''PROS"

T New York, Feb. 11-E1ection of a. president to succeed Robert D. Wrenn selection of the place for holding the national lawn tennis championship for the coming season and a discussion of the amateur question are the chief matters before the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Ten his association here today. MT. Wrenn is retiring from the presidency and George L. Adee, of New York has been nominated as his successor.
 It was generally believed that the championship would be awarded to the West Side Tennis club at Forest. Hills, L. T.. where it was held last year. Philadelphia and Chicag go or ganizations are said to be preparing for the championship in 1917.
 The question when lawn tennis amateur becomes a professional is re- garded as the most important one be- fore the meeting. It has been as- serted that Maurice B. Mclaughlin and Thomas c. Bundy, the California stars, would imperi1 their standing as amateurs if they engaged in a sporting goods business. Western deI- egates stand for a liberal interpreta- ton of the amateur rule and are ex- pected to make a strong contest against any move that would result in barring Mclaughlin or Bundy from the a,nateur ranks.

BUY
 YOUNG MORAN.
 FED SOUTHPAW

New York, Feb. 11-Many of the National League club owners survived the birthday celebration of the league at the Wa1dorf-Astoria. Wednesday night so well that they went far as to trade, sell and buy players. The biggest purchase of the day was made by Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh who paid Pat Powers, representing Harry F. Sinclair, a. big price for Harry Mor- an, a 1eft-hand pitcher, who was with the Newark club last season.
 Powers also announced that with in a day or two all the players which Sinclair controls will be disposed of.- It seems that the competition for Sin clair's stars has been quite brisk and Powers is waiting to dispose of them to the highest bidders.
 Moran ranked thirteenth among the Federal League pitchers and won 13 games and lost nine. Moran is said to be a yOungster with lot. of prom ise. He is a strictly Federal develop ed product.

OF YALE BOYS TO
 BE ONE YEAR

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 11.-Fina1 settlement in the eases of Capt. Ar thur M Milburn, Harry LeGore, Spen- cer Pumpe1Iy, William Easton and R. H. Rhett, Jr., who played summer baseball for their board at Quogue, L.. l., Iest summer and who have been barred from Y ale athletics, was made yesterday in an official announcement.
 The suspension was limited to the present college year and Athe commit tee further ruled that this suspension did not impair the amateur standing of the men.
 The finding closes the college ath- 1etic career of Capt. MiFburn, one of the most popular and respected cap tains Yale has ever had, and Bill Esston, both of whom win be grad uated in June.
 While the decision does not definite Iy so state, the three men still in cil- lege after this year will be eligible for participation in Yale athletics. These are Harry LeGore, the big fuIlback, who will be a tower of strength to the Yale football team next fall; Spencer Punpelly, the pitcher, and Rhett.
 LeGore lost the football captaincys as the result of the suspension from athletics, for he was a more expert er7ced player than Captain Black. al though probably not more able. A of the baseball men will be called within a few days to elect a successor ao Capt. Milburn. The new baseball captain undoubtedly will be Roland vaughan of Eraverhil1, Mass.

SELECT. SITE FOR
 YALE BOAT HOUSE ON THE HOUSATONlC

New Haven. Feb. lit has been learned through real estate men that the Yale rowing authorities have de- cided upon a tentative Housatonic river site for the Yale boathouse, pur- suant to the plans announced some time ago involving the removal of YaIess rowing activities to tho banks of the Housatonic It is expected that further details of the plan will be announced very shortly in order to make the changes before the open ing of the rowing season
 The site which it is reported has been decided upon for the relocation of the new boathouse on the east side of the river, in the town of Milford on what is known as the Flint or E1i.lter property, according to infor- nation received today. This is just north of the railroad bridge. and is within easy walking distance of the Devon station
 ed there, it is expected that most of the Blues nautical performances will be run off on the HouSatOnic. It is probable that all the races save the event with Harvard, which is row ed on the Thames at New London will be stroked near the new club house.
 
 the 1917 schedule is announced
 The decision in the matter of bring ing the varsity events to the HOusa- tonic will depend largely upon the facility with which arrangements are made with the New Haven railroad to run it's trains along the east shore of the river, while races are in pro- gress This matter, according to re- port. is now before the railroad off, cia1s, and Yale men expect that ade- quate acconm odations can be pro- cured and trains operated as they are on the Thames banks at New Lon- don.
 On the west side of the river arc the trolley tracks of the Connecticut company on the Derby line. It is reported that the railroad company has also been asked to provide similar sightseeing service on it's trolley line, so that spectators can view the races from both sides of. the stream. Much rock and timber must be removed on both banks before a view could be obtained as unobstructed as that at New London, and that in many cases is thwarted by promontories and small factories.
 The object in moving to the Housa- tonic is to place the Yale crews in proximity to caImer waters than those of the harbor here, which is very un- reliable as to conditions for rowing. Coach Guy Nickalls has found much difficulty during the training season in getting his crews out for sufficient practice, owing to the difficulty in striking satisfactwory water condi- tions The waters of the Housat onic while rough at times are more amen able to calculation than those of the harbor here, and for that reason the coaches can better schedule their practice hour.

CUBS BALKEO ON GIVING ZIMMERMAN
 FOR JOHNNY EVERS

New York, Feb 11-According to Boston men with the Brave outfit, the Evers Zimmerman deal, which was re- ported on Wednesday night, would have been made had Weeghman been willing, butt the new Cub boss pre- ferred to hang on to Heinie Boston was willing to trade, but Weeghman baked.
 The reason is obvious. While Evers has been in the National league since 1902, zimm has only been in since 1908. and he did not win a regular job until 1911. Zimmerman was 30 years old yesterday, while Johnny will be B years next July. On the whole, it looks a though Weeghman did a wise thing in turning down the deal, a1- though Evers would have brought him many extra dollars in Chicago.

 George Stovall, the Federal player who is not wanted in the American league, may land with the Cincinnati Reds. First Baseman MoIwitz has a, bad arm and the Reds need somebody to replace him. Owner Weeghman of the Cubs is trying to induce the Reds to take Stovall, who is still a frs tclass player.
 Owner Dreyfuss of the Pirates, has for any of the Federal players but from Newark, yesterday Moran has never played in the big league so, perhaps, Dreyfuss doesn't regard him as being on the blacklist.

Lynch or Irwin for President.

Tom Lynch and Arthur Irwin are rival candidates for the job of presi- dent of the Eastern-New England merger, league, which is booked to go through, according to hints from New York. Lynch, who lives in New Bri- tain is the old National league presi- dent and former umpire. Irwin is an old ball player and also acted as scout for the New Y ork Americans for years. Things were evidently framed up to throw down the Eastern association and the committee is holding back it's decision until the merger men can settle details.
 McCabe With Red Sox.

McCabe lives in Mamaroneck. N. F., and had never played professionally until he joined Bridgeport.
