WILL SUE EDITOR HARDEN

states Attorney Contends That Won
Moltkc Was Not Fairly Treated.
BERLIN. November 1.-The Harden
Moltke case has entered on a new
phase. 1t appears that the states at
torneyS has decided to take up the
matter and bring suit against Herr
Harden. editor Of Die zukunft, before
a bench of five Judges. This decision
apparently is due to the widespread
opinion that General Count Won Moltke
was hardly dealt with In last weeks
trial of the suit for libel against Herr
Harden.
IT also denotes reversal of the at
ttitude of the states attorney, who
originally had refused to bring suit
against Harden at Won Moltkes in
stance. leaving the latter to take pri-
vate action on his own account.
Explaining this action, the states
attorney said: Won Moltka apparently
had no adequate opportunity at the
recent trial to clear himself of Herr
Harden's charges, and hence the states
attorney thinks 1t necessary to insti-
tute new proceedings. and fully clear
up the matter from all standponts.''

LONDON, November H. Notwtth- :
standing the powerful influences that
have been at work for some time past
in the hope OF avertlng trouble in the
British railroad world. tonight there
seems to be but little probability of
preventing q strike which will have the
most serious consequences to the trav-
cling public and the men and compa-
MES involved. as we'll as to commercial
interests generally.
The action taken to-day By the eS-
ecutive committee OF the Amalgamated
Society of Railway servants in passing
resolution to call a general strike
leaves little or no hope for favorable
outcome. This society always has been
looked upon as one of the most con-
servatiye Of the labor unions, and its
leader. Richard Bell, NJ. p. has been
noted for his efforts to prevent strikes
and for his utterances in favor OF th.
rights OF capital. as well as the rights
Of the workingman.
Consequently, the resolution OF to-
day is not taken lightly. and In view
of those declarations and the deter
mined stand. taken by the society since
the grievances of the men were first
voiced. 1t does not seem likely that the
men will withdraw from their present
stand.
While there is long lise Of alleged
grievances, the principal one ha.
turned on recognition of the union, and
this the railroad companies. whos'-
chief spokesman Is Lord Claud HaHtl-
ton. are determined not to concede.
The general strike. however. under the
rules Of the society and the require
ments OF the law. cannot take place for
some weeks. In the meantime there
s a remote hope that the efforts of
David Lloyd George, who. with the in
president of the Board of Trade, has
been working strenuously to bring
about a settlement, will be successful.
SO far. however. Mt. Lloyd-George's
admittedly great energy In this regard
has been unfruitful but In a speech
ito-ntEht he declared that he would Keep
on trying to bring peace. with honor to
both parties.
His earnestness is indicated by the
announcement that he will call into
consultation representatives OF the
lAmalgamated Society OF Railway Ser
wants In the hope Of bringing em-
ployers and employees into line. thus
placing him In the position OF a con-
ciliatory arbitrator. whose function 1t
Will be to hear both sides.
Ii Due to Socialism.
The railroads charge that the pres
ent agitation Is due to the growth OF
socialism, and, curiously enough. while
this ida was being voiced by Lord
Claud Hamilton tonight. in declara-
tion that socialism was "irreligious and
immoral In Its teachings Mr.. Lloyd
George was saying in his address that
socialism was "a bogey OF to-day. In
trodrced to frighten the unwary" and
that there was no danger. "but GER
tain advantage in socialism insomuch
as 1t stirred the people to think"

Six Millions, and the Lusi-

NEW YORK., November 1.-The fnan-
cial situation was gradually clearing
to-day, without showing any striking
features. Runs on the banks and trust
companies are practically over. money
which was temporarily withdrawn
from banks subject to runs Is flowing
into the stronger banks, and currency
is being provided in most cases where
the demand for II Is considered legtti-
mate.
Further engagements of gold by Bos-
ton and other points have brought ur
the total engagements abroad under
the recent movement TO $2B,550.00
The Lusitania, which sailed from Liv-
erpool to-day, has on board about $1O,-
100000 In gold, one of the largest sin
gle shipments ever made.
Prices on the Stock Exchange were
firm during the early part of the day
and did not yield seriously at any time
The fact that the stock exchanges OF
London and Paris were closed on ac-
count of All Saints Day prevented any
comparison Of quotations or arbitraga
operations.
Balances at the clearing house have
settled down to a normal condition.
but there is still something of block
adc In domestic exchange. through the
of New York banks to
cities and the unwillingness of other
cities to pay out their currency upon
drafts from New York.
The condition of affairs indicates q
continued pressure for currency. rather
than breakdown OF credits. but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers of the banks.
Success of Scheme Doubted.
The possibility of fastening the ex-
port movement OF wheat and cotton still
engages the attention of foreign ex-
change dealers and also of those who
endeavor to keep in touch with the
general situation. Doubt IS expressed
whether the Secretary OF the Treas
.ury will be able to carry out on any
considerable scale the project OF the
New Orleans exporters for accepting
cash on government fiscal agencies and
transferring II by telegraph to points
In this country. but Secretary Cortelyou
is understood to be willing to make
such deposits OF public money at cot
ton exporting points as will to a con-
siderable extent relieve the strain.
