Almost 4 month has passed since
Mr.. Bryan startled the country with
his views, delivered in this town, on
the league of nations. The President S
friends resented them. They were re-
garded as heterodox-as a sort of call
to revolt. A formidable split in the
party on the peace treaty seemed at
hand.

Falling Exchange and Prices.

Foreign exchange continued yester-
day to decline in the New York money
market, the British pound sterling
reaching a new level at 1919. At this
unprecedented rate for British ex-
change American exports have almost
automatically ceased. 1t is feared
that a prolonged series of recovering
quotations will be necessary to en-
ments, owing to the fact that for seme
time past the money market has tiuc-
tuated, declines regularly following ad
vanees There is, however, one i'm
mcdiately satisfactory aspect to this
situation, though with possibilities of
dangerous reaction. II is now freely
predicted. that as result of the sus-
pension of exports domestic stocks of
goods will increase, and, with larger
supplies on hand, prices in this eoun-
try will fall. Concentration of
American production in the home mar
ket is almost certain to have the eff
feet of lowering prices here, whatever
may be the influence upon the foreign
conditions of the stoppage of goods
from this side of the Atlantic
Some fears of panic have been ex-
pressed recently. There are those who
look upon the disrocation of foreign
exchange as the preliminary symptom
of serious financial disturbance in
the United States. Some, indeed, are
frank to say that. only through panic
will prices, be brought back to normal
here. This, however, is too severe a
remedy to be wished for in any cir
eumstances. A panic Is almost as de-
struetive OF values as a war. 1t pros
trates indus ,ries, causes enormous suf
fering and undoes much of the con
structive work that has been carried
on in good times.
Under the federal reserve board sys-
tenn bank failures are rendered far
less probable than they were in for
mer years. As a rule panic starts
through such failures, The federal fe-
serve law thus standssas bulwark be,
tween the country and a disastrous
nancial catastrophe. But business
Failures may come about Independent
ly of bank conditions. 1t is conceiv-
able that industries that have been pro-
ceeding for the last FIVE. years on the
basis of immense production and high
prices viii be unable to adjust if prices
quickly fall. Wages cannot be as
quickly made to conform to new con-
ditions as the other factors of pro-
duetion and sale.
The hope has been that price sub
sidenee would come about gradually
along with other restoratiens to nor
NAL, involving a minimum of loss to
any factor and of suffering to any in
terest. If, however, the break should
come suddenly in consequence of the
sharp stoppage- of exports due to the
collapse of foreign exchange, TIE strain
in the industrial field will be dan
gerously severe. There is no auto
matte method CT wage revision, for,
despite all the warnings given so
plainly during the past few years,
nothing has been dore toward definite
means of equitable readjustments.

New York, July 29.--America's
Olympic team is on the Atlantic to-.
day headed for Belgium to battle the
star athletes of the world for the
crown of king of the track and field
With the cheers OF Il big crowd OF
enthusiasts that gathered to see them
off still ringing in their ears, the
boys started a light series of deck
workouts and exercises under the di-
rection of Head Coach Jack Moakley
that Will keep them fit until they set
foot on Belgian soil for the final
training session.
1t is generally agreed in athletic
circles that the 1920 team is as
good, If not better than any agggre-
cation that sported the American
shield in the games of the past.
Outside Of the distance runs, the
javelin and the hop-stepand- jump,
which are marked in the doubtful
column, the team is considered to
have at least two sure places in most
Of the events.
From the showing made in the
final trials at Cambridge it appears
that the forte OF the team is in the
sprints, the jumps and the pole vault
The middle-distance runners and
the hurdlers are also rated as nav
ing excellent chances to help pile up
the points that it is hoped will retain
the title of king for Uncle Sam.
With a representative of practical
ly every state in the union on The
team it is real American outfit.
The east, west, north and south and
the army and the navy all succeeded
in landing men on the team.
The games start in the new stadl-
um at Antwerp, Aug. IS, and run un-
til Aug. 23.
During theri stay in Antwerp. the
athletes vii lbe housed in big
school building that has been provid-
ed for their use by the Belgian gov
ernment.
