The most important event connected with the war for many week.wn, the formal entrance of lioumania into the contest. (;rreo is expected to follow. In all proh ability, these v. nts will tend to hasten the end. Fifteen nations are now at war. Germany will be likely to prolong resistance, howeer, for the reason that her lines will strengthen as they contract, and she will have the advantage of bein' at home and conducting hrr operations within a well-organized citri' of territory. Her forces are becoming more and more highly concentrated, while the allies are more widely eattered upon the out.-dde of the circle. Our smashing foreign trade record is an old but interest in-' .ton-. Th total exports from the United States in July were $ M .".000.000. or $ 1 77, ";00, ""( more than a year ao, ami ?2M.voo,00 more than in July, 1914. Imports for the same nomth were $ 1 .S2.00.0ori, r ooo.ooo ahead of a year a so. This left an excess of exports for tile month of ?2;2.so-f.,nno compared with 12.',ono.nno last year. During the seven months of the calendar year, our exports assrepated ?2,026.000.0o0, which was $950.0000,000 in excess of last year; while imports reached II. lfi7.000.000, or about $l."o. 000,000 more than last year. The excess of exports for this period amounted to $ 1 ,4 ."R.OOO.OOO. an increase of $197,ooo.ooo in seven months. While there was a moderate slowing down of exports in July, ns usual at the end of the old crops, the general

volume of exports upon this h'isre scale wan well maintained, chiefly because of continued heavy munition shipments-. The latter promise to bo liberal for some time to corr.e; hut aside from this feature rur export traI is in ex ellent condition. larjre foreign order for railroad material hairur la-en received this week, which, though a direct sequence of the war. can hardly be classified as munition. New- York city is benefiting enormously by this expansion in foreign trade, nine-tenths of which belonc outside of this port and simply pass throush to other points. Since the war heran, shipment from New York have about trebled in value. New York Is really a port of Kreat national importance. It the nation's principal gateway and 2 4 entitled to more consideration than it receives from national legislators who usually make political capital ay creating prejudice in other parts of the country ainst this center. These vast transactions have also been largely financed at this enter, much to the advantage ,,f our industries at lare. SUx'k Market St runs. The stock market stood up against the railroad dispute with remarkable sturdiness, and declines were much less than anticipated. This may have been accounted for by belief that a strike would not materialize, also by the fact that the roads were exceptionally prosperous, or further than the market itself was in too sound a position to be seriously affected. General trade conditions continue active for the season and traffic is correspondingly lare; in fact, unless the threatened strike curtails business, the car supply is in danger of being totally Inadequate to meet demands. Crop news is still unfavorable, though corn i -ipen-tn-more rapidly, and the wheat harvest is progressing. Cotton, however, show very heavy deterioration the government report indicating a condition of fil.2. This is a drop of about 20 points in two months, and compares with 09.2 a year nKo. For the time being, the stock market is. entirely influenced by the strike outlook, and the impending holiday. Should there be no stnj prices would quickly recover this week's decline; hut if trouble is preciptated lower price?; will follow; though the market is getting accustomed, to all kind of shocks and is less sensitive than usual to unfavorable nevs. After the war the world will be a

very different world from what it w.-us before. Governments and their citizens will become vastly more democratic and travel will be more peneral between the people of th' various nations hence the money for convenience of travelers especially should be fimplified instead of remaining so confusing and so difficult of understanding as it is now throuchout Kurope. America. I'n;land. France and Germany ouht to ;igrte upon one international coin at lea.st. representing: an cnqual amount and value jn absolute gold, which will pass current in each nation alike; each country to have its own stamp upon all they is.ue. If it worked well Japan. China. Russia and other nations if they so desired could he admitted into the combination. This plan would make it easy for travelers going from one country to another. After the war there will be more world intercourse and a universal standard would materially help travelers and do away with the complications now caused by each country having its own coin money. It is also timely to suggest some other method of settling our foreign trade balances than by the crude and uneconomic method of gold shipment. Why send gold to and fro across the seas at considerable risk and expense, when if a suitable institution were created balances oould be .adjusted merely by a transfer of credits or shipments of certificates? The present methods of xrold shipment are clumsy and worthy of the dark ages. When peace comes som better devices ought to be instituted.

EEDLESS CR! Federation Secretary Says Employers Make It to Oppose Restriction. Int rr.ation.il News Service: WASHINGTON. .sepu p.. Frank Morrison, .'socretary of the American Federation of Labor, made public Sunday nUht the following statement in review of the labor situation: "It is impossible to record fundamental gains during the past year because of organized labor's agitation or to individualize probable gains during the year to come. "The best we can do is to observe tendencies. Prominent among these is the workers' seizure of the cry for 'preparedness' f emphasize a danger in industry more deadly than battlefields. "Government statistics show- that r.O.OOO men are annually killed and 700,000 are annually injured for a period of four weeks, or over. Thrcv Million 111 Kat.v Year. "It has been stated that every year there are over 3.000,(K)0 cases of Industrial illness, caused mainly by long hours, low wage, dust, bad air. fumes, smoke, poisonings and poor ventilation and that through typhoid fever Sind malaria alone ?9OO,0'00,000 is annually lost to this nation. This is enough to equip the largest army and navy in the world. and then have a balance sufficient to pay the tuition of every boy now in college. "A system of national prepared ness that does not include recogni tion of this frightful and prevent able wastage is the preparedness urged by big business. A morality that ignores these facts and con demns war is based on meaningless phrases. "Another present-day tendency is the acceptance of organized labor's position on immigration restriction. During the past year the acid test of experience has vended the claim of trade unions that American in&ti-

tutiona can not assimilate, nor American llvinr standard resist, the Pood tides of induced immigration that has been the policy of captains of industry. Information and reports re

ceived by the olhccrs of the American Federation of Labor clearly demonstrate the fart that a 'labor fa-mine exists only -where employer still demand long hours at low wages, and where they itrnnre th living standards set by the workers. Another element among employer? who talk of the scarcity of labor do so to entice a sufficient number cf idle workers to their factory gates as a menace to those employed and who are liable to demand better conditions. These employer oppose restriction of immigration because restriction will defeat their policy of having two or more men for ev?ry job. Opioso Injunctions. "Another tendency is the growing opposition to labor injunction, w hich class labor power as property. The congress of the United State has voiced this opposition in amendments to the anti-trust laws. Judicial interpretations of the term property in the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution are losing their force. What was originally intended to end slavery has been used to thwart the enactment of social legislation, but courts have failed to check the srwelling tide of democracy. "The trade union movement !. conscious of the part it has played in the tendencies above referred to and this consciousness will be an inspiration to greater effort during the coining year."
