ing OF the Stock Exchange have de-
manded quarter point margins 10 con-
duct trades in place Of eighth-point
margins charged before the exchange
was closed last summer yesterday sent
out notices that the old rates had been
restored.
This action. 10 was explained. was
dae 20 the dissatisfaction over the new
rates against the odd lot specialists for
conducting business. Ii was not the
dissatisfaction on the part Of the pub
lie. however, which brought about the
change. The restoration Of the old
rates came as a consequence Of a group
Of members OF the exchange, who en-
rolled themselves az specialists IN odd
lots at the old rates and took away
orders from the established dealers.

TO RESTORE JOINT
ACCOUNTAR ARBITRAGE?
Majority of Exchange Favor 1t
When Business Is Resumed
with London.

Stock Exchange governors at their
regular fortnightly meeting yesterday
discussed at length the report OF the
snecial committee which was appointed
10 investigate the advisability Of re-
storing ioint account arbltrage when
business on the exchange rs resumed
with London. This committee reported
favorahly on the question, but the gov
erning committee has postponed action
until its next meeting.
large majority Of the members OF
the exchange are heartily IN favor OF
restoring joint account arbitrsge, ana
IL is believed that the board of gov
ernors will bow 20 their wishes. Inc
principal reason why the lifting OF the
ban from joint account arbitrage ls
that il would mean considerably more
business for members Of the exchange,
particularly the sO-called "S2 brokers.
If Joint account arbitrage rs revived
here. as now seems probable, the opera-
lions will be covered by regulations 10
thwart attempted evaslons OF the com
mission law. These abuses were the
cause OF the introduction Of the pres
ent system Of arbitrage.
The governing committee drew up 8
set OF resolutions yesterday commend
ing the work Of the speclai committee
OF five for it's work in handling the at-
fairs of the exchange while II was
closed. The resolutions will be pre-
sented 10 the members to-day for then
approval. ,
The minimum prices on six stocks
which had been previously lowered
from the minimums established when
open trading was resumed were again
reduced yesterday The new minimums
are on the following issues: Atlantic
Coast Line. 102; Louisville & Nashville
li5; Seaboard Air Line preferred, 40;
Southern Railway. IA; Southern Rail-
way preferred, 5s, United Fruit, ll3
New minimum prices were also estao'
lshed on Nirginia-CarOlina Chemical
common and preferred. They were II
and 85, respectively.

Bible Background Makes Clear
Operations Of War in Turkey
The Conflict Has Penetrated to Garden of Eden, to
Mount Sinai and to Mount Ararat; Fighting
Where Moses Fought
(By The Religious RambIer.)

When newspaper dispatches i'm
pinge on the Bible narratives, there
is at once a stimulation of interest
on the part of millions of readers.
That is why the extension of the pres
ent war into Bible lands quickens the
attention of countries persons who
pay scant attention to the details of
the struggle in Europe, especially so
far as names and places are con-
cerned.
Now the most luminous comments
upon the war, are not provided by the
military experts or the special cor
respondents. but by the old Bible it.
self. The cablegrams have not fur
nished any commentary upon the
Turkish campaign against Egypt so
illuminating as the five books of
Moses; and ii needs the Old Testa
ment to make interesting the scant
war news from down the Persian
Gulf way. The fighting between Rus
slams and Turks in Armenia is mean
ingless, geographically, to the aver
age reader: until he is reminded that
ii centers near Mount Ararat, where
Noah's Ark rested after the flood.
Fighting Near the Garden of Eden
War news from the cradle of civili-
zation, and the traditional site of the
Garden of Eden, has been scanty. We
cleared the Turkish forces out of the
Persian Gulf region. and from the
shores of the Shat Arab, the river
which is formed by the confluence of
the Tigris and Euphrates. The city
of Bosra. which is the center of the
worlds date market, has been cap
tured by the British.
All the littoral Of Arabia-and. in
deed, of the whole of Asiatic Turkey,

British ships. The new Indian navy,
which is a recent unit of the British
sea forces. has paroled the Arabian
coast line from the land of Ur of the
Chaldees. back of Bosra, to the realm
of the Queen of Sheba, which is the
hinterland of Alden. The prime work
of this feet has been to prevent gun
running into India, but the cultivation
of friendly relations with the Arab
sheikhs along the coast has also been
an important function. Now that the
issue is at last fully and fairly joined
ii is expected that the Arabs, who
have been sporadically fighting the
Turks for generations, Will throw in
their lot with Great Britain. rather
than with the Ottoman Empire.
Not only will the land of Abraham
and of the Hebrew and of the Heb

descendants still dwell in the region

control: but also the old home oi
