STOCK EXCHANGE STRIKE

AMSTERDAM, Monday. July As
result OF the threat OF the German
military commandants to call up
those exempted from military service
unless the stock exchange strike in
Germany was stopped. says the Frank
furter Zeitung. the stock exchanges
1T Frankfort and Bremen have decided
10 resume business Immediately.
The German government recently
proposed 10 Increase the stamp duty
on stock exchange transactions from 80
pfennigs 10 marks. with an addi-
tional war duty OF marks on every
1000 marks. AS protest against the
contemplated new duties. all the stock
exchanges in Germany last week de-
cided TO abstain from business until
the question was settled.

More Men or More Food

D OWERFUL interests In both France and
l England have insisted that both gov
ernments turn their attention immediately
to tho problem OF supplying the British and
French peoples with food, and, that If it is
necessary, the movement of men from the
United States slow down for a period All
this has been laid before the President. and
it is stated that his answer is that the United
States stands ready to REINFORCE it's allies
with men if men are most needed, but with
food II the allies regard it as more vital.
The decision must be made by the Inter
allied War Council.
President Wilson's position upon this
question is another evidence OF America s
unselfshness in the prosecution of the war,
another clear indication that this country
asks for no preferred place in the procession
and does not covet glory at the expense of
its associates. Now that 100000 Ameri-
cans abroad, it is natural that the people
and government OF the United States should
wish to double that number before the end
OF the year, that the second million be re-
enforced by third million and that the
American army, in the final stand, be the
great resistless force that will drive Germany
to surrender.
But If it is necessary to pause in the
movement of American troops abroad in order
that the allies may be fed, the United States
will acQuiesce. 1t will go right ahead train
ing new divisions. equipping them for work
in the field, organizing the system which will
make their work abroad effective, but if the
lnterallied War Council decides that for
time food is more imperative than men. the
food will be given priority.
Again and again it has been necessary
for the United States to change its war
policies in order TO make them harmonic
with those OF its associates, and these asso-
ciates have not always been in agreement
between themselves to the exact part
this country should take. 1t may be recalled
that at the outset Of the war, the Balfour
war mission urgently requested this country
to concentrate its campaign for the first year
upon food and munitions. AS plans were
being perfected to that end the French war
mission came forward with a more urgent
appeal for men. The President compromised
in that instance by sending both food and
men.
Early i'll March, Lord Reading went
straight to the President with a plea that
all other shipments 10 Europe be subordin-
ated TO troop transports. The German often
sive had been launched against the British
line. 1t tearing deep holes in it, and,
although it was unbroken, it seemed that
the German forces might, after all, roll the
british armies back upon the channel coas..
With this emergency TO be met, the Pres-
dent gave the order that started the vast
troop movement, which resulted in more
than 100000 men being landed in France
within three months
once more there is proposed change Of
policy. II may not fit into tie program
which this country had laid ont for its
guidance, but il the President is convinced
by the testimony OF the lnterallind War
Council that troop shipments should be sus-
pended for time, he will follow the advice

and the demands on 1t are far heavier
now. The Virginian tho same year had
n little over half million tons OF
