dict Arnold, information which it was
expected would seal the fate of the
Revolution. Being captured under such
circumstances he had to abide by the
consequences, under the rules of war
Those rules were the same that sealed
the fate of Nathan Hale when caught
within British lines in New York. Hale
and Andre were alike noble soldiers
hut when they played the part of spies
and We're caught, death was the newt
able penalty. Washington himself
mourned the fate of Andre but realized
that he could not prevent his execution.
Spies are considered necessary in war,
but they take their lives in their hands
we'll knowing the consequence if
they are captured by the enemy. While
the English look upon Andre as
martyr, and We may likewise honor the
memory of Nathan Hale, nobody has a
right to say that, under the rules Of
wa.r, as that grim game is played by
men, they suffered unjustly.

pools, completed the disfavOr with which
the movement was regarded and turned
the course of prices downward. The re-
suit was to wipe out the earlier gains
which had reached a point or over in
many representative stocks. Pennsylva-
MIA especially was in demand, presume bly,
from the short interest left uncovered in
the stock after its extended decline. The
upward movement OF the morning was
due to the renewed feeling of confidence
over the money outlook. Announcements
were made of a number of engagements
of gold in London for import, confirming
reports which were current, yesterday.
Half a million dollars was transferred to
New Orleans, but New York exchange at
Chicago rose to par. Sterling made a
sharp recovery. Part of the demand was
due to purchases of bills against the gold
engaged for import. There was said to b,
