recognition of Japan's paramount posi-

Foreign Minister, said to-day that the
United States had consulted Japan on
June s, suggesting that identical repre-

deemed it proper to consult her allies
before responding.
The Foreign Minister understood
Great Britain took the same view as
Japan, which was that it was undesir-

world war was predicted at to-day
Yale Law School banquet. Dean Swan
Of the school asserted that the codes OF
ether nations must be studied far more
widely than ever before.
Ex-President Taft referred to the
remarkable arbitrary powers which
have been voted TO President Wilson
and insisted that the President Of the
United States must be clothed with as
great authority as the rulers of enemy
countries possess. He said that the
recommendation made by cranks in
some parts of the country produce

common law will preserve the situation
wherever it is applied.

Giers by death; there are two
million French soldiers now in
hospitals.
In 20 French villages visited
by DR.. Foster, untouched by
the enemy, there was not an
able-bodied man remaining.
A city of 10, 900 people had
but one doctor, an old man, too
old to longer practice his pro-

THE need of the American
Red Cross in France" says DR..
Foster, lis more than we can
imagine at this distance. When
l was in Paris a few weeks ago
l saw the records of surgical
dressings we had just supplied
to 1860 hospitals. l found the
work of distribution done
quickly and efficiently, and
yet it was not possible to keep
up with the most urgent de-
mands. When | saw one French
soldier so badly wounded that
a whole ease of dressings was
needed to save his life, |
thought if he could stand his
part of it, we could at least
pack the case for him."
Such facts as these from an
authoritative source show the
genuine necessity for the work
the Red Cross does. AS to our
obligation to cary on this work
along with military work in the
field there is no question. This
is our war, distinctly and spe-
officially. The Prussian aims
have long included America,

America like France is fight

pendent nation. This is no
alarmist dream. 1t is the cold
and ugly truth. So there is but
one answer. 1t is fight and
fight until victory is won, no
matter how long it may take or
what the cost may be. Our SOL

who remain at home must do
their part with eagerness and

WAR AND THE SILVER
ISSUE.

0A ERHAPS no other influ-
D ence of the war in nom

rious as its revival of the issue
of bimetallism.
The outline of the worlds af-
fairs is a revival in even its
words and phrases of typical
silver discussions in the cam
paign of 1895. The original
suggestion of the restoration of
silver as a money metal is at
tributed to Mr.. Balfour at the
time he headed the British mis-
sion to this country. He did not
think the return to the old sta
tus could be brought about
while the war was in progress,
but urged the forwarding of
the plan that it might be avail
able for the needs OF peace.
Serious consideration of the
proposal is already being given,
it is said, by Secretary McAdoo,
members of congress and lead
ing bankers.
Gold supplies are being
strained 10 the limit, we are
told. Basic money in greater
amounts-how familiar those
words "basic money" are-has

the vast expansiCr in paper

war. The double standard
two mere familiSa' words-is
required to relieve financial
stress throughout the world
and maintain the equilibrium
of international finance,
which would mean the coinage
of silver at an established ratio
probably greater char the ratio
between silver and gold estab-
lished by existing values.--St.
