The menace of a general European war lends particular interest to what Dr. David Starr Jordan, America's distinguished peace advocate, said in his recent book, “War and Waste:"” “What shall we say of the great war of Europe ever threatening, ever impending and which never comes? ‘We shall say that it will never come. Humanly speaking, it is impossible. “Not in the physical sense, of course, but with weak, reckless and godless men nothing evil is impossi- ble. It may be, of course, that some half crazed archduke or some ha- rassed minister of state, shall half knowing give the signal for Europe's conflagration. In fact, the signal has been given more than once within the last few months. The tin- der is well dried and laid in such a way as to make the worst of this ca- tastrophe. Figure of Russian Intrigue. “Behind the sturdy forms of the Bulgarian farmers lurks the sinister figure of Russian intrigue. Russia and Austria, careless of their neighbors, careless of obligations, find in this their opportunity. And the nations of Europe in their degree are bound to one or the other of these malcon- tents. Neither Russia nor Austria can be trusted to keep the peace even in her own interest, for both, through debt abroad and discontent at home, are in a condition of perpetual crisis.” The armed forces of Europe in the event of a general war are thus tabu- lated by Prof. Charles Richet of the University of Paris: Men. 2,600,000 1,500,000 France 3,400,000 Germany 5 ce... 3,600,000 Ttaly .....occcocnoresceas 3,800,000 Y 300,000 7,000,000 England Rumania .

The table of Richet (here translat- ed from francs to dollars) deserves most careful attention: 1. Feed of men 2. Feed of horses 3. Pay (European rates) 4.

The nation which uses instruments like these against a sister nation can boast no advance over the red Indian and his scalping knife.” WAR KEEPS CONGRESS FROM ADJOURNING Demecrats Clamp Brakes and Re- publicans Are Eager to Gst Home. The war in altered the Washington, Aug. %0. Europe has materially congressional situation. weeks ago administration leaders were expressing the hope that the minority would restrain any filibuster against legislation, particularly the anti-trust program, so that congress might adjourn in ample time for par- ticipation in the fall campaign. The republicans, many of them also eager to get home for the political fray, promptly agreed there should be no filibuster and that all would pull to- gether for early adjournment. ] Today, however, the adjournment | prospect is eclipsed by multifarious issues and the democrats themselves are putting the brakes on legislation. | Administration leaders, when asked about adjournment simply throw up their hands and say “Time alone can answer, we cannot adjourn while half the world is brnil-' ing.” Not many Legislative Pace Changed. The legislative pace has been changed from double quick almost to a mark-time schedule. Consideration of the Clayton anti- trust bill is not being hastened. Al- though most of the important issues involved were thoroughly discussed when the trade commission bill was before the senate, they are again be- ing reviewed in proionged speeches. Republican senators were ready to vote on the bill Monday, but it now seems that all this week at least will River and Harbor Measure. Further assurances that the session would be more protonged than had been expected came yesterday when Senator Kern, the majority leader, an- nounced decision of the party leaders to dispose of a river and harbor ap- propriation bill. This measure had been before the senate for weeks, and was laid aside for trust legislation following a fillbuster conducted by Senator Burton, of Onio. Then the word will be passed around that the river and harbor bill would be left in the lurch by adjournment when trust legislation should be enacted. Reconsideration of this program i certain to hold attention of congr two or three weeks, at least. In the house conservation legisla- tion now is being prepared and it ‘s probable that it will' receive attention of the senate when it reaches there. Revenue Underlying Reason. The necessity of emergency revenue legislation and being ready for any eventualities that may be precipitated by the European war is the underlying reason for the slowing up of congress. I 6. EDW. Members of the New J York Consolidated Stock Exchange. WM. E. GILMORE SPEGIAL, No. 1 Wall St., New York There is going to be no rush to enact a stamp tax or increase in internal revenues on commodities. Although it is certain that additional govern- ment revenues must be provided be- cause of the curtailment of customs, the leaders want to hear from all rarts of the country beforé a law is passed. They also want to consider thoroughly just how to spread the tax to the best advantage, There is no treasury deficit now and no immediate danger of one; conse- quently the democratg say it would be best to go at the task of providing for the ultimate deficit deliberately and safely. War risk insurance by the govern- ment also is to be considered, al- though a bill to provide for this prob- ably will not take up much of the time of congress when the plan is worked out and a measure submitted. BASEBALL WAR FUND, National League Will Give One Day's Receipts to Red Cros John A. National League of issued a xmtemenl lows “The National Baseball league has come forward promptly in response to the appeal of the American Red Cross in aid of the society’s war relief fund, “The senior league will shortly designate a day of its regular cham- pionshipp schedule, the same to be known as Red Cross Day. On this day a percentage of the gate re- ceipts will be set aside for the urgent needs of the Red Cross in the BEuro- pean war. In reserving a duy of its schedule for a special purpose, the Netional league has departed from a precedent of many years' standing. It is expected that all leagues in or- gunized baseball will take similar action, “In a letter addresed to President Tener in furtherance of the Red Cross appeal, Miss Doardman, president of the American society, asks the cn- operation of the baseball leagues of the country.” Heydler, secretary of the Baseball Clubs, yesterday as fol- FORD BADLY INJURED, Ix-Yanke¢ May Not Be Able to ¥iwh Again.
