German Report

Berlin. November 2S.-Information given out today by the official press bureau foi- lows:
 Military critics of the Berlin newspa- pers consider that the success Of the Auatrians on November 25 and of Gen. eral Mackensen on the following day have made still more favorable the posi- tion of the Germans. Russian reinforce ynents appear to have come from lvan- gorod. and from Galicia. The latter move ment may be followed by an advance of the Austrians over the Carpathfans and toward the River San.
 Reports from Vienna say the conflict along the greater part of the front has as- sumed the character of a stubborn and long drawn battle.
 .Fighting in the west has almost been lost sight of in view of the important conflict in Poland and Galicia, the out come from which is likely to exert an im- portant influence on the whole situation.
 Further progress of the Austrian forces in servia is reported from Vienna. where 1t Is said that the enemy has been forced back near Lazarevats. on his center, which has been broken through. Further successes are also believed to have been won along the Kolubara river south of valdevo. the Austrians now being before Kosjovici.

MODERATE TRADING

 STOCK EXCHANGE
Resumption of Business Has Marked Effect on Senti- ment in Financial
 D;stricp

New York. November 2s.-The New York stock exchange opened its doors today for the first time in nearly four months to permit limited trading in bonds. The conservative element had successfully resisted all efforts to re- new business. even in tentative form. until home investment conditions re fIected justification for such action.
 It was evident, however. that resumption of operations. even under the minimum price regulation, exercised a marked ef- feet upon sentiment throughout the finan- cial district. There was an unusually large attendance of members, and the sound of the opening gong was echoed by prolonged cheering from the trading floor
 Trading all through the brief session re- f1ected hesitation and timidity on the part of investors and brokers. There resulted a number of material declines from July 30 prices. with a few gains, chiefly in industrials. At no time was there any movement suggesting serious liquidation. Of foreign selling, concerning which ap- prehension had been felt. there appeared to be none at all
 Dealings Moderate
 Dealings at all times were very mod crate The total business of the session amounted to only $644,000, par value, exclu- sive of 5000 in government bonds. The largest single transaction was a sale of 20,000 Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul general mortgage AZ per cents, recorded in the early dealings at loss of 21s points. For the most part offerings were in lots of one to five bonds best prices being established at the outset, after which fractional recessions were general. Altogether about 50 different issues were quoted instead of some 150 in active times.
 It was evident from the disparity be- tween July 30 prices and some recorded today that the exchange authorities vir- tually had waived minimum prices in few inactive issues. For instance, bonds of the Southern railway, Wabash, Sea- board Air Line. Atlantic Coast Line and one or two other railroad companies, lost

lmprovers Hear Report on
Building Code Violations

At a meeting of the Fifth Ward I'M
provement Association of West Or
.ange last night, Joseph Horn, chair
man of the committee appointed to
investigate alleged violations of the
West Orange building code, gave his
report. He said that his committee
had found that there were violations
of the building code in the erection of
the building at Chestnut street and
Watching avenue. 1t is provided
that there shall be no woodwork
within six inches of a fiue or smoke
vent in a building and within two
inches of any covering or casing of
such a fiue.
Horn said that in the building in
question the woodwork was built up
against the flue. He also reported
that several iron piers were not long
enough to support the beams which
they were supposed to support. He
stated that similar report was given
at the last meeting of the West Or
ange Town Council.
Enoch r. Coward, president of the
organization, stated that it is gen.
orally known that members of the
council visited the building in ques-
ton after the last meeting of coun-
ell, and that since then the piers
have grown so that they now sup
port the beams.

POPE BENEDICT TO
PLEAD FOR PEACE
AMONG NATIONS
First Encyclical of New Pontiff
Will Appear November 1,
1t Is Said.

PARIS, Oct. 21.-The first encycli-
cal of Pope Benedict XIV will appear
on November l. Jean de Bonnefon,
a writer in lie Journal, seems to have
obtained important information on
tho contents of this significant docu-
rnent, The text the Pope himself
wrote in Latin on October 3. He then
read 1t to three cardinals, including
Della Volpe and Seraphin Vannu-
tell. 1t has been translated since
then into the principal modern Ian
guages
M. de Bonnefon says that the COM
ing encyclfca1 resembles d diplomatic
note more than a homily, and that
the Pope, while speaking chiefly to
believers, wishes also to gain hear
ing from those Indifferent to re-
ligious matters. He considers him
self, it is said, 1.-The natural protector
OF religious edifices of whatever
sect" and also of the hospitals of
all nations during siege or battle.
He urges respect for the wounded
and mentions "the universal religion
of the dead
The Pope further speaks of the
Oriental question and of the Turkish
capitulations, to which, says M. de
Bonnefon, the Vatican was a con-
tracing party. The Pontiff indicates
that since all the Occidental nations
are Interested to an extent in the
Orient, the only solution of the ques-
ton is a protectorate
Regarding the situation i'll Italy,
Nj. de Bonnefon quotes the Pope as
follows:
"What would be the material stu
alton of the papaey deprived of
liberty and enclosed within the mar
row circle of a single State, IL this
State chose to separate 1t according
to circumstances from all communi-
cation with the civilized world or
even exposed the person of the Pope
and the Sacred College to bonn
| bardment of Rome, which is always
possible in a European war;"
And again, temporal power is not
the benefit which we demand, but
the necessary means to complete the
exercise of our spiritual power"
The Pope adds, according to M. de
| Bonnefon's version, that his voice
should be listened to more atten-
! lively, precisely because he is with
Out weapon and without worldly
goods, but Is the pastor of all souls,
with a righteous detachment from
all human egoism.

THE HAGUE, Oct 21.-Not since
1866 has the decoration known as
Pour lie Merit been given lieu
tenant in the German army. For this
reason the bestowal of this order
upon Lieutenant Otto Won der Line,
serving in the Fifth guard regiment,
is of interest. He was awarded this
very high and coveted distinction be-
cause on August "a, with four men,
he took Fort Malonne at Namur be-
fore it had been subjected to artillery
fire.
How Lieutenant Won der Line ac-
complished this has been described
by him in a letter to his parents:
II was ordered to advance against
the fort with 500 men, our course ~
ing across an open field without
cover" he said. everywhere loop
holes stared at us, and | expected
that if we were not annihilated from
them the many mines about the fort
would take care of u.s. Many officers
had volunteered for the task of at
lacking the fort, but I was picked
out to do it.
Arriving near the fort took four
of my men and approached in goose
march, picking our way carefully
through the field of mines The draw
bridge was up, and the broad moat
filled with water made it impossible
for us to get into the fort.
1--WE soon saw the commandant,
and / shouted to him that ] had
