American Travellers.
(NnW York Sun.O

Premier ClemenCcau has recently felt obliged to print 9. disclaimer of certain sentiments attributed to him by an American visitor whose official character required that the incident should be treated with the greatest tact which, it should b. unnecessary to say. the Tiger of France displayed. The British government recently re- fused to permit two representatives in congress to visit the battlofelds where British troops were operating. bastng it's action on utterances by the mem bers of congress after their embarka- ton for Europe. These arc cOnspicu- ous instances of conduct infelicitous, to put it mildly, charged against Amer ican civilian visitors to the nations in the war.
 These incidents, humiliating to the American people. and annoying to our friends on the other side of the Att lantic. have a background of we'll ra- strained but nevertheless obvious ir- ritation, caused by the appearance in Europe of too many travellers who have no other object than to see the fighting under official escort Of these unneedcd observers the French and British have said little. out of delicate regard for our feelings. Americans have not been so cOnSiderate. A num- Der of our fellow countrEmen have spoken bluntly about the abuse of au- thority which has enabled a good many visitors to fasten themselves on the FHpe editiOnary forces and burn up gas Oline, eat food. and occupy space sore ly needed hY men and women with i'm pOrtant business tO tranSac.

 1 Is it fair to the banker who is 1 neither omniscient nor unswayed by 1 the ordinary feelings of a business
 man, that he should be called upon 1 to twist the screw? What one banker ] would regard as a nOn-esential another 1 might treat very differently about. 1 Consider the result: Here, let us say, 1 is large business fairly in what might be called the doubtful class, not clearly a luxury, but in no sense a wartime necessity. It has large loans with two banks. One banker, more disquietad perhapS than the other about the shortage of men in the essential indus tries and the astounding volume of trade in utter nOn- essentials, notifies
 the borrowing customer that his cred it's must be cut down one-half or more. What does the borrower do? He sim ply goes to the other bank or transfers
 his account to still another, which has no such feelings in the matter Com
 petition in banking is, We know, very sharp and the result is that the ultra
 patriotic banker would be painfully
 punished for his endeavors to "co- operate" with the federal reserve
 board.
 The banking system of the United
 States is not like that of England or (anada, or France or Germany, made
 up or a relatively few banks with d large number of branches and there-
 lore easy of control. The commercial
 part of it is composed of 10000 or more dlscrete units, each more or less law unto itself. The only regulatory pressure which the federal roserva board can bring to bear on this hugo system is through the restriction of re- discounts, and even this is of little value; and for the rest even the rapid Iy swelling rediscounts of the federal reserve banks still amount to less than 10 per cent. of the total loans of Gne nation commercial banks. It is plain " possible to restrict the nOn-essen- t1als by shutting off their raw SUD- plies on direct government mandate. It is plainly possible to tax them heav- ny. It IS practically impossible for the heads of 10000 banks to agree on what are non- essential Industries and then to cut off their credit

NfjcIeir0D'S Primary.


 The victory of Commander Truman H. Newberry over Henry Ford and Chase s. Osborn in the republican sen- atOrial primary contest is a victory for AmericanSm and sound statesmanShip.
 The republicans have a right to be distinctly proud of their selection; they feel that to a very material degree their choice is much more than a party choice; it is the choice of the maJori- ty of the electors of Michigan with out regard to party alignment.
 Those who have cast their ballots for Commander Newberry may rest assured that in the high probable event of his election in Novemb Der, they will be sending to the upper house of congress a man who will represent the commonwealth intelligentIy, efficiently and altogether in a manner which will bring honor to Michigan and increase the prestige of the state throughout the republic
 The outcome Of the balloti0G is a notice to MT. Ford that although the people may think highly of his capa- biIities in certain directions and aI- though they may have a full 2pprC- citation of what he is accomplishing for the country along certain lines, tn " do not consider him in the least fitted either by nature of by training for service in the supreme legislative body of the land. They want him 10 stay where he is.
 Nor is it possible to ignore the fact that some considerable part of the lack of enthusiasm for Mr Tord's candidacy has been due to widespread disapproval of and distrust e his dis tinctly pacifist tendencies and to some thing approaching anger over what thousans of people consider an unwar- ranted and unfair exemption of his son from military service,

Gold and Silver
San Francisco Chroniclel

NSah FfanClSCO ChrOniCle,1 | The war produced a very great in 1 crease m the dmand for silver for 1 coinage, and except in Mexico, a very 1 important exception, however, there is also great increase in supply. l largely as by-product of the mining l of copper and other metals
 The silver situation was in a con- ! stant state of flux, which is an un- failing cause of wild speculation, and indications were that the metal might at times, if not permanently, reach price which would make the silver in all silver coins worth more than the legal value of the coins and cause general hoarding and meIting Meanwhile the fIuctua tons were mak- ing trade with Asia almost impossi- b1e.
 To relieve the situation our govern ment, in connection with that of Great Britain, undertook to stabilize the price of silver, so that trade with Asia could go on, and the question was as to the price which would sufficiently stimulate the production of silver without causing undue melting of coinage One dollar per fine ounce was finally agreed upon, recently raised to $1.O1 1-2. All export of this
 
 init, which will not be given if the purchaser pays more than $1.01 1-2 per fine ounce. As no purchaser will care to pay more than he has to, the export business will be easy, but we know no way of preventing foreign purchasers from reselling for what ever they can get, or preventing Mex icO and other Latin American cOun- tries from profiteering to the extent of their OpOrtunity.
 The gold mining situation is not good. All over the world the least productive mines are closing down be- cause the gold recovered no longer pays the cost of recovery. The gold producing companies of the world, big and little, have organized to secure an increase in the legal price of gold the proposal in this country being that governments shall offer a, bounty How it will turn out remains to be seen.

THE LITTLE FLAG ON OUR
 HOUSE.

(By William C. Dcmorest. 'S1) TRead at the forty-tirst dinner of the Class of 1881, Arts & Mines, held at the Columbia University Club on April Al The little flag on our house
 Is floating all the day Beside the great big Stars and Stripes; You can amOst hear it say To all the folks in our street.
 As the breezes make it dance; Look up and see my one blue star- We've got a boy in t'rance!" The little flag on our house.
 It floats sometimes at night And you can see it way up there When the street lamp shines just
 right. And som etimes, long towards morn
 ing,
 When the cop comes by, perchance It signals with it's one blue star: We've got a boy in France." The little flag on our house
 Will wave, and wave, and wave, Until our boy comes home again, Or find in France his grave. Nay-tho' it's blue star turn to gold, Because of Wars grim chance, It still shall wave to say. "Thank
 God!
 We've got a boy in France" Published May Sd in Columbia
