Value of the Dollar and Exchange.

An anonymous correspondent writes to he
Bee, nquiring why it is the dollar has suffered
in comparison with the pound sterling in for
eign exchange. 1t is simply because the bank
ing facilities of the United States were not we'll
organized for the purpose of handling foreign
accounts Most of the worlds banking is. done
through London; prior to the war Berlin was
the next great center for exchange. This was
brought about because the big British and Ger
man banking firms had established branches
throughout the world, and SO were enabled to
control the business. As long as Americans
were borrowers, it is obvious the entire strength
of their banks found employment at home.
While the money center of the world has shifted
from London to New York, an incident of the
war, and we have become money lenders, Our
banking facilities throughout the world have not
yet been extended to such point that they can
efficiently serve the commerce of the world. So
a great deal of exchange still Is written through
London that might better be handled by Our
domestic bankers, were the machinery for so
doing adequate to the demand. Also, at the
very beginning of the war, the British govern
ment took steps to protect its money against ut-
favorable exchange rates. The American gov
eminent has not thought advisable to do this.
Finally, the credit of the government does not
rest on the rate of exchange absolutely. Liberty
bonds are the only issues of any government
now selling at or near par, and Our 3H per cent
issue is bringing premium. The discount on
the American dollar in Denmark, Spain, and
other small countries is reflection of local sem
tment, rather than of actual standing of the
issue

Pershing's Victory Growing.

AS more detailed accounts of Pershing's
drive against the St. Mihiel salient come from
France, the brilliance OF that operation in
creases. From Berlin on the first day was sent
word that the sector was abandoned practically
without defense. The seeming ease with which
the movement was carried out gave some color
to that. Now it is known that the Germans re-
sisted to the utmost, and that some of the most
desperate fighting of the war ensued, in which
the Americans wrung from German officer,
made a prisoner, the admission that they are
terrible adversares." Captives taken support
the view that the Germans were not preparing
to abandon the salient and that the swiftness of
the movement bewildered them in their action.
Critics, who have watched the war from the
first, agree that this first real test of Yankee
ability in the new science of war was carried out
with dash and to a success that gives it place
among the important battles of the war. Its
ultimate effect is to be developed, but the value
of the ground taken is shown by the effort of
the foe to retain it. Finally, it has most eff
fectually settled any claim of the kaiser of in
vincibility for his army. The German formula
of Retirement to prepared position" has no ap-
pcation to the defeat at ST. Mihiel.

A Miracle at Sea.

1t doubtless would send thrill of delight
through Germany if one of its U-boats should
sink an outward-bound American troop trans.
port and snuff out the lives of all the soldiers
on board No submarine commander has been
able to turn that war trick although more than
100000 of our men have been landed on the
other side.
In its attack on troop ship just reported a
Teuton Uboat torpedo came desperately near
a tragic success. The transport appeared for a
moment to be doomed to quick sinking, but
some thing-it Is not yet clear what--saved it
from going down. The $500 men on board
were rescued by crews of vigilant British and
American torpedo boat destroyers. Even the
ship was kept ahoat so that it could be beached,
and 1t may be retrieved for further service.
Aside from the miraculous character of the
escape, the striking feature of the incident was
the admirable behavior of the troops in try
ing situation. The men did not lose their poise
or in any way disclose themselves as other than
true soldiers, responsive to discipline, cool in
the face of extreme danger, buoyed to courage
by the underlying American spirit that urges
them on to their given mission as foilers Of
Hun designs
1t is no exacting test of faith to believe, in
the light of sea event of this kind, that the
destines of the world are being shaped and
directed by a Power greater than the supple
mentary to that of armies and naves Ger

AUsTRIA's REQUEST FOR CONFER
ENCE

The Austrian request for conference to dis
cuss peace terms did not come as surprise,
having been foreshadowed in the speeches of
Czernin and Burian, recently commented upon,
How it will be received by the belligerents may
scarcely be forecasted.
1t may be accepted that no sincere effort to
bring the war to an early and satisfactory end
can be ignored by either of the great nations,
so the chief thing to determine will be the spirit
in which Austria makes its proposal. On casual
inquiry this does not ring true. Austria, as we'll
as Germany and the world has been we'll in
formed of what basis for peace will be accept
able to Americans. Less than the terms con-
tanned in the fourteen theses laid down by the
president will hardly be considered by our peo-
pie.
For Austria these terms have been more
completely crystallized by the formal recogni-
ton of the Czecho-Slovak republic. This in
wolves the Acknowledgement Of the empire, and
carries with it by implication at least taking
from Prussia the portion of Poland held in sub
lection by the kaiser Similarly. the Russian
provinces seized must be restored, while Tur-
key and Bulgaria will be required to disgorge
territory now held by arms Italy, naturally,
will not be content short of the reservation of
the Irredente, while the question Of Belgium
and Alsace-Lorraine have gone beyond any
possibility OF discussion, other than terms Of
restitution.
If the Central Powers recognize in the mill
tary situation the hopeessness of their case,
and are willing to submit to terms, the approach
will be without especial difficulty. But they
can not be admitted to conference on a status
other than that of the vanqushed

Tariff for Revenue Also.

Representative Sloan made one telling point
in his mild criticism OF the pending revenue
measure. 1t is that the majority of the COM
mttee has entirely ignored one OF the surest
and most reasonable sources of government in
come, that of duty on imports. Blindly devoted
to the exploded dogma of free trade, the demo-
~crats persist in neglecting the tariff, even in
war time, when, if ever, such taxes would be
justified. 1t means nothing to them, apparently,
that Great Britain, hitherto the leading ex-
ponent of the free trade idea, has abandoned its
position and collects a considerable of its in
come at its ports, its revenue from this amount
ing to several times the proportion of the whole
so received by the United States Canada, long
a high protective country, has increased its port
collections since the war begun, and now
gathers half its national revenue from imports.
On the other hand the total of imports into the
United States shows continued growth while
collections of customs dues has decreased. Last
years total of importations was the greatest in
20 years, while the revenue was the lowest in
that period. The foolishness OF such policy,
when ingenuity is being exhausted to develop
sources from which TO raise money by taxation
for public expenses, shows lamentable lack of
capacity for understanding and meeting the
grave problems of government finance

Shortage of Gasoline.

Fuel Administrator Garfield has given out
figures that show the daily deficit in Americas
gasoline supply at present to be 5000 barrels a
day. ReservN stock Of oil has been reduced
more than 4,0CN 1000 barrels since April /. These
6guTes Indicate the increased use of this fuel
under war demands, as well as the necessity for
curtailmcnt in some ways in order that actual
needs Of the government may not be interfered
with. The appeal Of the fuel administrator to
autoists east Of the Mississippi river to refrain
from pleasure drives on Sunday brought such
response as saved a COY siderable quantity of the
oil that was being heedessly expended, but
more drastic measures may yet be needed In
this, ss in other lines, thu government has en-
deavored to interfere as little as possible with
the routine life of the citiztns, but no one will
hesitate between giving up joy-ride and max
ing contribution to winning the war. Case
inc must not be wasted.
