WHOLE WORLD IS
AIDING ENGLAND

Stockholm, Nov. 30.-The Svenska
Dagbladet publishes report by Pro-
fessor Gustav Cassel, national
authority, on Financing the War
He says in part:
Those countries which are big
creditors of the neutrals have natur-
ally special strength in war time,
in that maturing liabilities are readily
taken up. This is most distinctly seen
in the case of England, which under
normal circumstances invests between
$5O,oo0,000 and $75,oOO,00O per month
abroad, this being the normal form for
the application of the surplus of Eng
lands balance against foreign coun-
tries Should England now, as might
be the case, cease to make these in
vestments the corresponding amount
would stand at her monthly disposal.
This explains the excellent finan-
cial strength of England just now. Eng
land Is the capitalist par excellence
who can live on the returns of her
capital. and who, thanks to her re-
sources, can force the whole world
to contribute towards her war expen-
liture"

murder of his 15.year old u..-,-.'.
Inez. The girl died on November IL,
as result of partaking OF poisoned
pancakes. Her mother and brother and
the accused were also rendered Ill at
the time from the same source. After
the girl was stricken, Jordan threw the
flour from which the pancakes were
made into the fire. This act and the
fact that three years ago Jordans wife
was mysteriously assaulted with a club
as she lay in bed in the early morning,
directed suspicion to Jordan, and a
Chicago detective named Fitzgerald
was employed to probe the case. Fitz'
gerald is the man who worked up the
Ray Pfanschmidt murder case In Quin-
cy, III.
As result of the findings of the de-
tective, Jordan was taken into custody
and confined in room in the local no.
tel where he was closely questioned
He steadily maintained his innocence
but broke down under the grilling he
received and is now under the care of
q physician.
1t is said that no motive whatever
can be found for the crime of which
Jordan is accused. The family has al
ways borne an excellent reputation and
the sentiment of the town is about
equally divided on the guilt and in
nocence of Jordan.

DYNAMITE SHIP

London, Nov. 80. Colombo harbor,
the principal seaport of Ceylon, and
its shipping had a narrow escape from
destruction in the early days of the
war, according to mail advices just re-
ceived here. A German spy set fire
to an anchored vessel which contained
more than fifty tons of dynamite. The
only means of saving neighboring ship
ping and harbor works was to sink
the burning ship and this was done by
a squad of volunteers at a consider
able risk.
All mention of this incident was APP
parently deleted by the English CEN
sor in the cable news dispatches at

Cautious Report Of Russian

GERMANS DEFEATED
BUT NOT PUT TO ROUT
Care Required to Extricate
Invaders From Situation
of Greatest Danger

London, Nov. 30.-References to the
Russian success in north Poland have
become somewhat chastened since the
cautionary report issued by Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander of the Rus.
sian forces in the field, was made pub
lie. Nevertheless the military critics
In the capitals of the allies according
to dispatches reaching London, remain
convinced that the German invasion of
Russian Poland has suffered a check
which only the most strenuous efforts
of the German commanders can save
from degenerating into disaster. A
news report from h,trograd sets forth
that the Germans, apparently ignorant
of the extent of the Russian opposition
along the Vistula, or holding this oppo-
sition in contempt threw heavy forces
against the Russian center, leaving
very thin lines of communication be-
tween their wings. This created a
situation said to be without precedent
in the history of military strategy. In
the meantime the resumption of the
Russian offensive resulted in wedge,
dominated by Lodz, being thrust into
the German center. II the Germans
car hold their lines Of communication
with their wings intact, the invaders
may be able to withdraw, in the view of
British observers, without suffering
disaster.
Berlin and Vienna continue to report
that the battle along the rivers Vistula
and Warta is proceeding without de-
cisive result although minor successes
attended with the capture of prisoners
and guns are claimed for the Austrian
and German operations.
On the western front, according to
the communication given out in Paris
last night, lull prevailed except in
the Argonne, where the German at
tacks are said to have been fruitless.
Unofficial dispatches declare that Zee,
brugge is again preparing for an as
