The Money Side
of Present Conflict

In September, 1914, | put the daily
expenditure on the war by all the
powers then concerned at about 10
millions sterling, and a similar total
was arrived at by independent esti-
mates in France and Germany, one
icing little more, and the other a
little less. The cost of mobilization
to neutral states might be included,
and the successive entry Of Japan,
Turkey, Italy and Bulgaria into the
struggle soon made it certain that
this calculation would fall far short
of the mark. At this rate the total
budget cost of the war for the first
year would have been 1850, 100000.
According to a calculation made on
March /, 1916, the actual total was
about 1850 millions sterling, so that
for the first year my guess proved
remarkably accurate. But the eX-
penses of the second year may prove
to be nearly double. Among the bel
ligerents Great Britain alone has
paid a tiny portion Of the cost by
enormous additions to taxation.
Italy has made sufficient additions TO
its tax revenue to enable it to pay
interest on the new war debt. All
the other Continental powers have
suffered a heavy loss of revenue, but
they have paid by privation and by
issues of depreciating currency, as
we'll as by loans and borrowings from
their state banks.
At Copenhagen there was pub
lished on March /, 1915, the first
bulletin Of a society founded for the
study of the social consequences of
the war. In this bulletin the inve,-

banks; for being two-name paper
II has greater certainty Of payment
when due, and IL desired can easily
be rcdiscounted in the Federal he
serve Bank or in the open MARKET;
and, being in greater demand, II can
be easily transferred from places
where II is less needed 10 places where
il il more needed, such as, for ex-
ample in tho crop moving period.
Il Is therefore evident that the trade
acceptance is desirable for the
banker, because it represents more
liquid reserve and forms the basis
for a more elastic currency system.
recently had occasion to put the
trade acceptance idea into practice. a
gentleman came here from New York
City to 20 into the business Of manu-
featuring ladies' garments. He had
limited amount Of cash and note
for 81. 900, which VIC discounted. We
granted MIN III duuiti"h " ivan "
$1,000. IL was not long before his
business had grown to such an ex-
tent that he required more money.
We granted him an additional thou
sand. but that, apparently, was not
enough, for he requested more credit,
which was refused, because no was
irving TO do too large a volume OF
business on his limited capital. lie
then began to figure on the length OF
time that it took for his checks to
20 to New York and return, with the
result that one day checks were pre-
sented which, IL paid, would have
ovcrdrawn his account nearly $1,000.
We we're confronted with the
proposition of returning his checks
and injuring his credit or loaning
him another $1,000. We loaned him
another thousand, but with the dis
tinct understanding that he would
bring us trade acceptances to take
up his entire indebtedness. This he
did. We later gave him additional
credit, all, however, represented by
acceptances.
To-day that manufacturer is pros
pering, meeting his bills promptly,
and with a substantial balance in the
bank; whereas, IL it had not been for
the use of the trade acceptance he
would have undoubtedly been by this
time in the hands OF the Board Of
Trade, listed as another failure, due
to insufficient capital.
AS the trade acceptance provides
Tor a definite payment at definite
lime. it is Mr.. Metzler's contention
hat it eliminates some of the worst
abuses of the open account sys-
,em, such as the taking of unearned
unjust offsets and secret
assignments of accounts, and, being
more desirable than one-name paper,
It commands lower rate of inter
,st.

electrical way and electro-galvanlz-
ing has taken the place Of dipping
The electric smelling Of iron ore and
the manufacture of pig iron are also
part of this galaxy of modern cleo
trical marvels. 1t has also built new
towns where only waste places ex-
listed few years ago.
Thus, chemicals never before avail
able are being made and old indus
tries are undergoing transformations
marvellous to behold.
1t was only the other day, as time
is counted in industrial history, when
factories were built on river banks
to obtain power from the direct APP
plication of the falling water TO their
turbines, and periodically we read of
their being washed away, together
with their surrounding villages. This
new method of taking the power to
the factory instead Of as before
building the mill on top Of the power
has abolished that danger.

Getting More
Work Out Of
His Capital
Small Merchant with Use OF
Trade Acceptance Is Able to
Expand Credit at Bank

F" HE growing USE and impor-
lance Of the trade accept
- ance as an instrument of
credit lends a special interest to a
discussion of "the trade acceptance
in practice" by Irving s. Metzler, of
the Bank Of Italy, Los Angeles, Cal,
appearing in the current number of
"The Journal of the American
Bankers Association" The banker
tells, in particular, how the accept
ance idea helps the merchant Of
small capital. He says:
A trade acceptance, under the
definition of the Federal Reserve
Board, is nothing more than an ordi-
nary bill of exchange drawn By the
seller upon the purchaser Of goods
sold and accepted by such purchaser"
Under the laws Of this state trade
acceptance is negotiable instru-
ment. The effect of the acceptance
is to constitute the acceptor or pur-
chaser the principal debtor. The
status Of the drawer or seller is the
same as the indorser Of a promlssory
note.
The trade acceptance is not a new
thing. It has been used in this conn
try to a limited extent, although the
open account system is the more pop
ular. In England the trade accept
ance has grown TO be the greatest
liquid credit factor. In France the
acceptance is in use for as small a
sum as five francs. In Germany tho
wechsel. or trade acceptance, changes
hands almost like currency.
Besides forming the basis for an
elastic currency, the trade acceptance
represents a more liquid reserve for

leaps and bounds. The chemists have

with new toy, and while producing
wonders they have astounded the
world-and themselves. The particu'
lar housewife must not be forgotten
in this narrative, for she owes her
light, sanitary and attractive alumni
nun pots and pans and other Gull
nary utensils to this same newly
tanned force. And more than ono
prophet has predicted that the cleo
tfic manufacture of steel will surely
and quickly dominate our own Pitts
burgh to the upsetting Of normal
chemical affinities and the production
of new wonders.
All the interesting problems of
practice, solved and to be solved,
must be left aside, and the compara-
tive costs of steam and water power
passed with the statement of Dr.
Morgan Smith that it was the ambl-
ton of his company to produce with
steam plants electric power at such
a low cost that it could not only
compete with water power current
bat could undersell it. He has In
timated that the time would not be
far in the future when this ambition
would be realized.
This bold statement implies the
amazing assumption that electrical
engineering has reached the peak in
evolution and may be left for the con-
sideration, not of steam engineering
but of the worlds coal supply, be-
cause after all this is the source OF
the greater part of the present day
industrial motive power.

An ASSURANCE
of Fair Play

Such a development, in the light
of recent events, might not be en-
tirely unwelcome. II the govern
ment, through the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, or a coordinate
national wage commission, had the
power TO regulate, in the public in
terest, the greatest single item in the
expense Of operating the roads, there
would at least be assurance that a
S5O,000,0 900 or a Sl00,000,000 a year
increase in the wages of only one
sixth of the employees would not be
forced upon the railroads without a
full and impartial review of all the
facts. No great increase in the labor
cost of transportation would then be
sanctioned without due regard for
the interests of the public, as well as
for the rights of the owners and the
workers.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has made it very plain in its de-
cisions in rate advance cases that the
principle Of the conservation Of the

usually anything but local private
enterprise. Electrical transmission
has made those of recent years
change the generally accepted idea of
their scope. Modern methods have
made it practicable for a single
water power plant to distribute cleo
trio power in some instances over an
area of 10000 square miles. The inn
mense potentialities attending such a
wide distribution in some districts
need not be described.
There is a wide difference in the
cost of producing hydro-electric
power. Coal dug out of a hillside
above ground may be no better fuel
than other coal hauled mile along a
tunnel a couple of thousand feet UNI
foreground, but it costs less to put on
board the freight car. 1t filled many
graveyards along the line of march
Of the progress of the industry be-
fore this was ground into the COM
prehension of the people. For In
stance, Norway is producing water
power electricity at from $4 to So
per horsepower per year. This is
due 10 the fact that Norway has
large amounts of waterpower imme-
diately on the coast line, the water
drops over the cliffs and is capable
of being developed under high head
at low initial costs. These factors,
together with an abundance of cheap
labor and cheap electrical apparatus,
enables it to sell energy at these low
prices for twenty-four hours SER
vice 365 days in the year.
Yet, nobody expects this low figure
to be even approached in this cOun-
try until something revolutionary In
machinery or methods, or both, is put
on the market. 1t may come. Cement
taking the place of stone has been a
large factor in reducing the cost of
hydro-electrical construction, and it
may be that some genius will one
day discover a method that will make
and transmit electricity from falling
water so cheaply that it will not pay
to dig the coal out Of the earth to
feed steam boilers.

The Chinese Now Have
a system of Shorthand

A system of shorthand writing for
the Chinese language has been in
vented and is now being taught to
pupils in Hong Kong and vicinity. A
speed Of 140 words per minute has
been made by tho inventor. One pupil,
after five months tuition, has written
ninety words per minute, while seventy
words has been attained already by
considerable number OF students.
The difficulties in the way Of estab-
fishing a shorthand system for the
Chinese language were thought to be
insurmourtable. While the language
is monosyllabic and at first glance
would seem to be peculiarly susceptible
to shorthand work, it is never written
by characters representing sound, and
the same syllable when spoken in any
one of nine different tones has a sep
arate and distinct meaning.
In the Chinese written language an
idea is represented by a character
made up of one or more radical or root
characters which have been developed,
at least 10 some extent, from HERO
glyphics. The character is always the
same for an idea, while the names Of
the character or the Chinese spoken
word for the idea may and usually do
differ in the several dialects Of China.
There is therefore no means Of indi-
eating a Chinese word by signs for
novels and consonants because there
are no vowels or consonsnts in the
Chinese written language.
Attempts have been made at times,
both by private enterprise and through
the efforts of the Chinese government,
which once sent commission to Eu-
rope to study the question to reduce
the Chinese spoken language to SIM
pie written form, and even to SIM
plify the writing so that it might be
done rapidly enough to keep pace with
human speech, but so far such efforts
have been without practical success.
One invention is an abbreviated form
o&Chinese writing called "Tso Shue,"
or "grassy-hand" writing. 1t Is ordi-
nary Chinese script with many Of the
strokes Of the characters eliminated.
This form is in general use among
Chinese reporters for note taking and
is employed by others for hurried
writing, but it has many defects, IN
GLIDING the insuficiency of forms TO
represent all spoken words, the diff
Guilty OF learning tho system and the
fact that writers cannot keep pace with
speech
Various other systems have been in
vented, following the japanese model
or the Pitman method. Most of them,
however. depend upon some knowledge
of English and are not adaptable TO
the Chinese language in all its uses.
Chinese commercial and political life
has long felt the need Of an adequate
system of writing the Chinese lam
guage as rapidly as II Is spoken, and
there is an increasing field for the
practical use Of the system II in gen.
eral use IL affords all il now promises
