NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, WORL'S COMMERCE GREATLY IMPROVED Traffic Now Practically Safe Across Miantic, Says Heary Cews. (Special to the Herald.) New York, Aug. 22.—Gradually but [surely business of all kinds is being resumed, and the worid's commerce is adjusting itself to the necessities of war.. By far the greatest and most important basis of improvement has ( been the partial restoration of inter- i national trade. Traffic is now prac- tically safe across the Atlantic and through the Mediterranean, two chan- nels through' which much the largest share of the world’'s commerce trav- els. also practically open. German boats, representing an enormous tonnage, lare of course out of employment, and the sudden withdrawal of so large a capacity must continue to' be a seri- ous inconvenjence. The loss of ton- nage will fall most severely upon the passenger service, but this class of traffic promises to be exceedingly light for at least a year or so tg come. Fortunately freight transportation 1is being rapidly resumed chartering has 'lbecome -much more active and very [#oon our wheat and cotton will be going abroad in liberal quantities. ermany will not be able to buy our grain or cotton with any freedom; but England must have both in large mounts and will be able to secure hem as long as she can control the jea. This helps matters very mate- jally on this side of the: Atlantic, fand will lessen or aveft the loss that hreatened our southern and western ‘armers by an embargo upon trans- [Atlantic routes. The proposal of our [government to buy a large foreign fleet of merchant vessels is now un- ecessary. It is unwise for both po- itical and commercial reasons. Our government would be. entering upon n exceedingly costly and losing op- ration for the purpose of meeting a lemporary emergency, which is rapid- iy passing away. Financial Tension Improved. Another important sign of improve- Iment is the diminished tension in the ffinancial world, International banking rrangements are being gradually re- umed, and foreign exchange opera- jons have now been reopened on the ontinent on a limited scale. The New IYork Stock Exchange remains closed d may not be reopened until it is nown what.the London Exchange 1s likely to do. To open the New York lExchange under existing conditions ould be sheer folly, since it would ake New York the dumping ground ot all the needy sellers in Europe and precipitate fresh demoralization in his .market, . Meanwhile a business of very considerable importance has been accomplished upder the present ethods of limited transactions for sh under approval of the Stock Ex- ‘hange Committee of Five. This plan Jhas worked very satisfactorily and done much toward furnishing re- ef, prices being maintained at the closing of July 30, and in some cases howing a slight improvement. Our nkers are doing their utmost to ttle our domestic money situation, yhich has been greatly relieved by pmergency circulation, by the release of government funds and by the issue of clearing house certificates. Thus far all inflationary proposals have [been sternly checked; and it is to be [hoped that this policy will be firmly adhercd to. Inflation might help now, HAVE YOU ~ A CHILD?

Fmperor Francis Joseph of Austria has had a calamitous rule and now in his declining years he is one of the principal figures in a war, the possi- bilities of which stagger the entire world. There was mystery in the death of his only son, and the recent loss of the heir to the throne was a blow which caused the aged emperor to seek revenge from Servia, with the result that Europe is embroiled in a | great war, but would eventually bring on vastly worse conditions than yet seen. A fair idea of the effects of the war on the United States can now be had. As the demoralization of the first shock passes away, it is seen that German commerce and industry will suffer more than any, other. The United States will temporarily suffer from the loss of German imports. These, however, will in due season be compensated for by supplies ob- tained from other countries and by the creation of new or stimulus of old industries in this country. This may or may not revive the tariff as an issue. Our steel industry will ulti- mately also benefit, for many of the | orders which at one time went to Germany will now be filled in Ameri- ca. Our cotton mills may reasonably expect larger orders for export, which | will somewhat offset the loss of Ger- man purchases of raw cotton. Ger- many transatted a very large trade with“South, America, much of which she will lose to the United States..The American sugar industry will also profit largely by the temporary loss of the German supply. The worst of the shock of war in this country has already been felt. We may see its later effects in high prices of food, while the dislocation of industry will temporarily increase the number of unemployed. Ultimately, however, our industries will receive a great impetus, and if any country in the world can possibly benefit from the colossal dis- aster now hanging over Europe, it will | be the United States, which is happi- ly free of all foreign entanglements and should absolutely keep so. Under Severe Strain. Considering the abnormal condi- tions' which have prevailed since the Europeam nations became engaged in a death struggle, the vanking In- terests throughout the country have handled their affairs remarkably well; neverthless, it goes without saying that the banks are under a severe strain to provide for the Ilegitimate wants of their customers and every measure calculated to relieve the sit- uation should be resorted to. In about two months’ time it-is under- stood that the federal banking sys- tem will be in operatign. It should be started in a much shorter time, if possible, for the simple reason that when this becomes a fact the National banks throughout the country will be permitted to reduce their reserve re- quirements quite considerably. It 1s estimated that the deposits of coun- try banks amount to about $2,600,- 000,000. Under the new lnw the re- serve on these deposits will be re- duced from 15 to 12 per cent. which will release $78,000,000. The depos- its of National banks in reserve citles are placed ta the new law the reserve will be re- duced from 25 to 15 percent., which will further leases $200,000,000. Depos- its of National banks in central re- serve cities are, say, $1,600,000,000; the reserve requirements of these banks will be reduced from 25 to 18 per cent., which means an additional reduction in reserves of $112,000,000. From these figures it will be seen thart | the total amount to be thus released to the National banks under the law | will be $390,000,000. If there ever was justifiable occasion in the finan- cial affairs of this country which called for prompt action it is’ prob- ably now. would undoubtedly he wise Ir some means could be found to put in oper- ation that part of the Jaw which would permit of a reduction in re- serve requirements of the National banks. This would certa:niy pur the country on an easier and more com- fortable financial ‘footing than any other plan that could de at present devised, besides enabling the banks | to increase their call loan facilities which, at present is an essential neeq, Death of Commerce, This war will probably prove which is the mightier. It is to be hoped that it will destroy the use of the sword and make the power of the pen ever- lasting. If so, this will- be the ‘las $2,000,000,000. Under | To my mind, therefore, it | great war with the sword. The pen is all powerful in commerce, and this is a commercial age. The sword is death to commerce, the present cruel slaughter being an evidence thereof. After the first battle is fought every one left to tell the story should urge with voice and pen a final adjustment between the warring nations. Such a result would prove a victoty for both sides alike that would produce a general disarma- ment, thereby saving ail the nations concerned from general bankruprey. | The American Peace and Arbitration league, of which I am president, will gladly co-operate in the arbitration of all the vexed questuons at issue | connected with the present cruel war —a war which possibly could have been averted had the nations involved | submitted their disputes to a great iinternational supreme court, the es- | tablishment of which I have atways ladvocated—for why should not in- | telligent, civilized nations adjudicate | their difference before a 16gai tribunal, as individuals do? HENRY CLEWS. !SAYS NEXT POPE | WILL BE ITALIAN ! Cardinals Gibbons and Farley Sail For Rome to Attend Conclave. New York, Aug. 22.—The next pope will be an Italian, in the opinion of Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, who | sailed last night on the White Star liner Canopic, with Cardinal O’Connell ot Boston, to participate in the con- clave at Rome, which will name the successor to Pope Pius X. Cardinal Gibbons said he based his opinion on the fact that there was a predominance of Italian represen- tation in the Sacred college. He thought the time had not yvet arrived for the election to the papacy of a {cardinal of any other nationality. Some time in the future, however, he thought, a cardinal of American birth might be elevated to the Vatican. President Wilson's doctrine of per- { sonal Reutrality on the part of Amer- icans as far as the European war was concerned, was excellent, the cardinal thought. Following this doctrine he declined to discuss the situation, other than to say that he regarded the war as a frightful calamity. | Despatches from Switzerland !terday announced that the third ! American cardinal, John Farley, of this city, expected to leave shortly for ! Rome. Cardinal Farley has been abroad for some time. LAST RACES TODAY.

Berlin, via Copenhagen and Lon- don, Aug. 22, 8:45 a. m.—A laconic despatch of seven words announcing the entry of the Germans into Brus- sels is the only news regarding the occupation of the Belgian capital yet published here. The military author- ities are contenting themselves with a brevity of announcement surpassing that said to have been employed by the late Field Marshal von Moltke. The Berlin papers express admira- tion for the swiftness of the German advance, but make no comment on the German tactics. They occupy themselves almost solely with the cor- Tespondence between Prince Henry of Prussia, King George and Emperor William, which was exchanged just before war was declared and was pub- lished for the first time yesterday. Papers Exonerate Germany, The papers are unanimous in the opinion that these documents, with the despatches exchanged by the em- peror of Russia and the German em- peror, prove complétely that Ger- many, until the last moment, sought her utmost to maintain peace with Russia and France, Germany, it is declared, desired to prevent war with France and sought only a guarantee of French neutral- ity, England, however, refused :io help in obtaining such a guarantee, and therefore, it is reasoned, England in the first place was the cause of the war between France and Germany. Strict Orders Issued. The Japanese charge d'affaires still in Berlin. The commandant is ors have tried to use tne telephone lines, has issued orders that any per- sons found making improper use of the telephones shall be immediately shot. Two more French guns have been brought to Strassburg, The American ambassador, James W. Gerard, publishes in the news- papers a denial of reports that Amer- jeans have been ill-treated in Ger- many. He states that some few were arrested during the first days of the war, but adds that such mishaps are almost unavoidable during big wars and that in all cases those arrested were speedily. liberated. Americans Well Treated. ‘“Americans in Germany,” says the ambassador, “‘enjoy as great security as they do in America. The populace + | 1s extremely courteous and the gov- of Alsace-Lorraine, declaring that trait-| ernment has made great efforts to place special trains at the disposal of Americans, even during mobilization. The banks are very considerate, pay- ing checks and letters of credit.” Ambassador Gerard said that he de- sired to assure the American people that the greatest possible politeness is the only help possible under the circumstances, and this has been shown to Americans in Germany. COLLEGE ROMANCE TO END IN WEDDING Thomas Quigley Will Wed Miss Erma M. Parmely, of Florida, Next ‘Wednesday in Washington. Thomas Quigley, brother of Mayor George A. Quigley, and Miss Erma M. Parmely, of Palatka, Florida, will be married on Wednesday of next week at Washington, D. C. The ceremony will be performed at the Central Pres- byterian church and the Rev. J. H. Taylor will officiate, Mrs. Caroline Quigley, mother of the groom, and Mayor Quigley will be the only rela- tives from this city who will attend the wedding, but the bride’s family will be present. The ceremony will be a quiet one and the bride and groom will leave for a wedding trip across the Great Lakes. They will then go to Fargo, North Dakota, where Mr. Quigley has a position as professor of mathematics at the High school, The approacling nuptials the culmination of a pretty college romance, Meeting Miss Parmely wheén he was a freshman at Valpariso, Indiana, six vears ago, Mr. Quigley at once fell a victim to one of Cupid's darts and the chubby little fellow’s aim was equally accurate when he shot his barbed arrow at the young lady. Miss Parmely then left this school and was graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music at Boston. Mr. Quigley was graduat- ed from Indiana university with the class of 1912 and since then has been teaching in the west, but in the mean- time friendship ripened into love and next week’s wedding is the result. mark Before retir- ing, use with warm water and insure a restf\il night.
