A Singing Rebuko

THE TIMES-DISPATCH last Friday morn
j ing pointed out that the reception given
by the Republican convention at Roanoke to
the disloyal speech Of Senator James Watson.
of Indiana. deserved stern reprobation. On
the afternoon OF the same day, Congressman
Glass expressed like views, and denounced
the Senator and convention in vigorous
terms. Mr.. Glass is right. II disloyalty
to the government is INDUCED in by Re-
publicans. or others, under tho guise of
political campaign oratory, 1t will none
the less fall within the legal definition Of
treason If it denotes adherence to the enemy
OF the nation and gives him aid and comfort
This Is not war OF the Democratic party
but of the whole people Substantial ma
jorities of both parties In Congress voted to
recognize belligerency. Any politician who
seeks to create prejudice against the Demo-
Gratis by saying the Democrats are responsible

this national crisis. In every war there may
be found Tories Copperheads and slackers,
but the overwhelming majority Of the rank
and file OF all parties are patriotic, and would
have hung their heads in shame II Germany's
challenge of crime had not been resented by
an acceptance OF the state OF war. The en-

part among the ignorant, the fanatical and
the cowardly, cannot be famed into flame
sufhcfent to brighten the skies of hope for

The unvarnished truth appears to be that
some Republicans of small calber. more

railroads have achieved by organizing their

Both the railroads and the country are to

the newly conscripted army who will leave
their homes for camp. Many Of them may
not again see the fresde, the rooftree, the
sunlight on the doorstep and the midnight

Into another. and the two will be SO unlike

Our Financial Primary

DROUD British fnanciers are alarmed over
the possibility. now apparent OF London
losing her prestige as the final hub of the
universe The cost of war has become so
burdensome and the expenditures in foreign
markets, particularly those of the United
States have been so enormous that even the
Chancellor of the Exchequer has confessed
that England's purchasing power had almost
reached its limit when we entered the war.
The London Statist voices this gloomy view
OF the future, and reminds the British min
istry that the warning was sounded moro
than year ago. But this journal fails to
indicate how the British government could
have guarded against such a state of affairs
as is now admitted to exist. For more than
two years Great Britain and her allies came
to America to feed upon us and to take
what we had to sell that would REINFORCE
them in their fight. OF course, they paid
we'll for the things they bought and as
sumed all the risks OF delivery. There was
no alternative left them. since their own
storehouse was depleted. Billions of dollars
in British gold and securities were trans
fcrrcd to the United States in payment for
supplies. When government notes were no
longer acceptable, we demanded the return
OF our own securities held abroad, and In
two years about 100000, 900 worth of
American stocks and bonds were either sold
back to us or pledged to US as collateral.
On top OF this was the vast movement OF
British gold to our shores. Since we be-
came belligerent. we have loaned to Great
Britain something like $1,000, 0O0, 900 In our
own money, for which we will receive her
bonds. II the war continues for another
year. this loan promises to increase to
SO, 1000, 100000 or s4.000,00o,0o0
1t Is inevitable, therefore, that the money
center of the world should be at least tenn
porarily shifted to the United States. We
are the only great creditor nation left. And
as the expenditures grow the financial bal
ances will tip even lower in our direction.
But it is one thing for Great Britain to be
in debt to friend and another thing to be
forced to indemnify an enemy. If there had
been no United States, 1t is not impossible
that our British allies would find themselves
| eventually paying tribute to Germany.

Some four weeks ago Congress appropri-

time 1T was supposed everything was in
readiness to turn out by the thousands the

as to which Is the best machine, and, in the
meantime, one Of the big aeroplane COM
panies has raised row over patent rights
The government has concentrated Its whole
attention on the training Of the avators and
it will soon have an army of flyers without
machines. II machines are not forthcoming.
there will be no air feet this autumn or

war. From no other appropriation of the
same amount has tho public been led to
expect SO much. But evidently there has
been too much talk and too little action.
