CAINE SEES SOCIALISM. (Continued From Paj;e 1-) everts of the present are surely leading up to It America the United States Is to be the theater of this greatest oi world's dramas. I have been talking dur ling the last few days with some of the wealthiest and foremost financiers of this country. They have explained much to ic, and they agree that the present state if your country's finances Is leading it in the direction I have Just outlined. But the final result is sure to come. Unless .our vast wealth Is placed under govern mental control there may even come to .ou a crisis as terrible as that of the MYench Revolution." "The remedy, then, is?" "A complete control by the Government ;f all those great financial plants, of all hose great manufacturing plants, of all he railroads, the telegraphs everything hat produces that enormous wealth for 'hlcb. the rich men of your country have become famous the world over. You see tow the value of land is increased. It is Ihe direct, resulb-ot the combined efforts of ie people. Land, therefore, should belong to the people, not to -the Individual. It is he same with oil. I Is the same with Iteel. Jt is the same with other things hat produce great wealth. They all be- ing to the people, and they should be rmtrolled by the people. They are not Ike .an Invention that a man creates him- ?lf." "You are a Socialist, then, Mr. Calne?" icntured. He nodded and said: "Socialism Is an aspiration, not a sys- m; but 1 am a Socialist in what one ight perhaps call the higher plane of pclalism," How to Bring About Change. "But how.woufd you bring about this pange in ownership?" "Some great man some great finan- le. must arise among you; some one Inn can grasp this grave situation. I not believe you have now such .a Ian In public lire, but tho necessity 3uch Ib made very apparent by the roceedlngs of your courts, as reported lery day. This strong .man must draw round him other strong men. Your . h men must become great chancellors the exchequer. They must rescue to country from threatening disaster. id then the reform will come. Great dividual wealth will be Impossible. lie present wealth of the Nation will Icrease. You will Increase your Influ- Ice. You will grow and prosper." "Would not such a system of collec- t effort destroy all individual effort use ambition to flni??' "I don't see why It should. That ob- btlon Is raised only by those who Jo It understand the true socialistic as- ratlon. Your" Government would have its employ the most brilliant men. d they would be paid generous sala- fcs to conduct the great works. There uld be no limitation to wealth, but accumulation of millions and mil- Jus by one man or a coterie of men juld be out of the question. There uld be as much wealth In the coun- as ever, but the great bulk of it uld bo in the hands of tho Nation, lore it could be used for the benefit of people in the -way of public works l for National advancement, instead bejng employed for vulgar displays this new and narrow class that has sen in America. Reliever in Wealth "Well Used. i thoroughly believe in wealth as elevating and humanizing' influence properly controlled. The proper use realth results in the greatest bless- to a Nation. It broadens men and s them to a higher existence and to Iher thoughts and ideals. Wealth ins human intercourse, and lnter- Irse means brotherhood and all the her developments of civilization. herty means Isolation, and human latlon means barbarism. The accu- FatlOn of wealth Is along the clear lines of the laws of Nature. "hat a reform in the manner of nh- tlng wealth in America is necessary ralr-mlnded men, I believe, will y. But I cannot think with Tolstoi z the only way to bring nappinets to lanlty is to go bacX to; primitive iltlons to return to Nature to the II. That would bo undoing the work of civilization for the last 6000 years. We must not turn back. We nave "be come broad and great and strong. W must use thin greatness and this strength to bring about a "still higher and nobler condition of humanity. And wealth, rightly controlled, will be one of the chief aids to that end." Different Financial Systems. "In what way does the financial sys tem in America differ from the financial system in England 7" "It is in many respects very differ ent." said Mr. Calne. "In England the' great wealth is hold or has been held by the old families and is eventually diverted In various directions. The aris tocracy in England, you know, do not enter Into manufacturing pursuits nor trade, and therefore ,do not Increase the wealth that has been handed down for generations, except so far as the In crease of the wealth of the community increases the value of land. A great part of this wealth Is in the landed estates. It Is Impossible under our present state of affairs for quite the same conditions to exist there that exist in your coun try. "If the American public will permit : an outsider, ".who is, nevertheless, half an American and an enthusiastic be liever in the destinios of your country, to express an opinion, I will say as a' last word that 1 think this question of the growth of wealth Is tho gravest problem you have to face on thin conti nent, where you have so many grave problems to face: that the biggest po litical Issues of your future will be concerned with legislation to regulate trade, and that when your great finance minister comes who is to protect your people and your vast and constantly In creasing financial organizations from the doubtful advantages of dual direct orships his first and last watchword will be 'Publicity."

INTENDED 1 FIGHT Germany Still Suspects Del casse and Lansdowne. s ANGLO-FRENCH ALLIANCE German Inspired Article Insists War "Was Planned Against Germany. Rouvicr Spoiled Designs of .Dclqassc.' COLOGNE. Oct. 13. The Cologne Ga zette prints another spirited dispatch from Berlin apropos of the Figaro's denial of the Matin's story, which can only be In terpreted as a plain hint to the British government to explain Its role In the mat ter. The dispatch notes that, while the Matin's version gave ground for the as- A1AN WHO EXTORTS TRUTH FROA1 INSURANCE GRAFTERS jjjjB CIIAKLKS E. HUGHES OF NEW YORK. sumption that the suggested alliance of France and Great Britain against Ger many had an official character, the Fig aro's version confirms this assumption by giving the names of the parties, and says that this makes the case against M. Del casse all the stronger. The mention of the name of Lord Lansdowne. the British Foreign .Secretary, in connection with the matter, sheds upon the story an embar rassing light for Great Britain, according to the dispatch, which says: Discredits British Denials. It is exceedingly repugnant to us to see Britlnh statesman IHce Premier Balfour and Foreign Secretary Lansdowne capable of such a game, but. If- revelations are re peated and remain uncontradicted, one can not avoid growing more and more skeptical about the matter. The question arises an to how It was possible that French statesmen, who undoubtedly arc men to be taken seri ously, could have believed that there was an offer of a British alliance. It bo adequate basis exit ted for such an exceedingly serious raatur. The writer goes on to say that the fall of Delcasse. who occupied a position of exceptional strength In the French Cabi net, becomes comprehensible in view of the gravity of the revelations already made. If the Matin and the Figaro aro In the right, the 'dispatch says. Delcasse, after having reached an understanding with Great Britain, was shaping his pol icy for a war with Germany, and when a question of such Importance Is once raised It cannot remain unanswered or unsolved. Xeitlier Willing to Explain. The dispatch goes on to point out that neither the British nor the French gov ernment has hitherto shown a- disposition to come forward with explanations, while the semiofficial note regarding the matter Is insufficient and inadequate and cnlcu- uti.

After saying that the question ' win oououess dc discussed In the French Chamber of Deputies and the British Par liament, the article concludes: W.ilt- the work of clearing up this matter I prlnaarllr the affair of France and Great Britain, still Germany takes a most reason able interest therein. Although subsequent ereMs have removed the further develop ment of the Incident, from close attention wo can learn many things from them. BR1TAIX PLEDGED AID. Rouvicr Refused to Approve War With Germany. PARIS, Oct. 13. The Fronch govern ment continues silent concerning the al leged revelation of Great Britain's offer ot naval and military aid to France if Germany assumed a belligerent attitude over Morocco. In the meantime the newspapers add new phases to the dis closures. The Figaro gives a detailed version even more sensational than the previous al leged disclosures of the Matin. It says that the previous rcport-ot Great Britain offering to mobilize her navy and land British troops in Germany is not correct, but that the actual occurrence is about as follows: M. Delcasse is alleged to have said: "I have a formal assurance of Great Bri tain's support." Premier Rouvler Is represented as an swering: "And I have M. Berrere's tele-" egram, proving that this means war If "we continue our policy. I refuse to in dorse what you seem to treat so lightly." Tho other Ministers are said to have upheld M. Rouvler, whereupon M. Del casse resigned. The foregoing version is chiefly im portant. In the allegation that Great Dri- taln sought for and promised a military 1 defensive alliance against Germany. Later a semi-official note was Issued saying that tho published reports upon uys Incidents accompanying the resigna tion of M. Delcasse, and notably the de tails regarding the cabinet' council pre ceding his resignation, are Incorrect. The issuance of this denial steadied prices on the Bourse, which showed uneasiness over tho situation. England Makes Denial to Germany. LONDON. Oct. 13. With reference to the Paris Matin's alleged disclosures, the Associated Press Is authoritatively in formed that the British government docs not intend to issue a formal statement on tho subject, but the Associated Press is in a position to announce on high author ity that the British government has com municated to Germany a statement to the effect that Great Britain did not offer to assist France in the event of an attack by Germany, and that France did not ask for such assistance. SWEDEN RATIFIES TREATY: i Dissolution or Union TJnanimously Pnsscd by Riksdag. STOCKHOLM. Sweden. Oct. 13. Both houses of Parliament today unanimously adopted the government bill providing for the ratification of tho Karlstad treaty.

CURE FOR RACE SUICIDE Dr. Mnry.WHInrd Upholds Woman's Suffrage as Panacea. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 13. Race sui cide has been one of the principal top ics under discussion at the district conference of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which will close tonight at Wyandotte, a suburb of De troit. Dr. Mary A.

Continuing. Dr. Willard said: I will not attempt to deny that fewer chil dren are born to American homey, for It l a lamentable fact, too patent to be contra dicted. There are two reasons for this. One of them Is that life In becoming too strenu ous tor the modern woman and she han not vitality enough to make her prolific In chlld bearlnrc. an J the other, that men sacrifice upon the shrines of Bacchus and Eros until they are powerless to lay upon the altar of wedded love the tribute that would bless their bonies.
