DEFENDS COURSE
OF NEW YORK'S
STOCK. EXCHANGE
Van Antwerp Says War Proves
Market Should Be Kept from
Government Control.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The Euro
pean war has provided a conclusive
reason why the New York Stock Ex-
change should not be incorporated,
according to William c. Van Ant
werp, one of the governors of the ex-
change. Van Antwerp issued state
ment today in reply to George w.
Perkins and Senators Poindexter and
owen, all three of whom have urged
tnat the exchange be not permitted
to reopen except under government
control.
Had the New York Stock Ex-
change been incorporated when the
war commenced" said Van Antwerp.
any person with an Interior motive
could have sought an injunction.
Even the granting of a preliminary
injunction which would have kept
the exchange open for the shortest
time in which such injunctions can
be dissolved, would have precipitated
an economic tragedy in America.
Hundreds OF thousands of innocent
persons would have been ruined be-
yond recovery
result would have followed if the gov
errors of the Incorporated legislation
had prohibited private trading, as was
actually done by the present govern
ing body. He said that injunctions
would have been used to hold up this
prohibition, and consequent ''irrepar-
able loss and injury would have been
inflicted on numberless innocent and
unsuspecting persons.
We welcome any investigation Of
our methods by government officials, =
said Van Antwerp. 1--WE will be glad
to see any senator or congressman
who wishes information and place
everything before them, As far as
Mr.. Perkins is concerned, he knows
nothing about the stock exchange,
and admitted as much when he was
on the Stand during the so-called
money trust investigation"
Van Antwerp made it known that a
definite plan for reopening of the ex-
change was now being considered.
The resumption of business on the ex-
change is expected to follow a con-
ferecne of the board of governors with
Sir George Paish, the noted British
economist, who is now in Washington
consulting with treasury officials.
One of the features of the plan, Van
Antwerp said, is refusal to liquidate
American foreign-held securities in
gold. One of the principal obstacles
to the opening of the exchange, he
declared was the fear that it would
at once be swamped for foreign
holders of American securities, who
would demand gold for their holdings.
1t is proposed to check this tide of
gold to Europe by redeeming the
securities only for bank balances in

SCISSORS, Oct. (by mail to New
York; What is it like on the firing
line?
How does it feel to be under fire. to
see and hear the shellsOf the worlds
mightiest armies passing over head?
What are the villagers doing. the
women and children and old folks left
behind in the towns along the 200-mile
battle line?
What is their daily life? How do
they pass the time? What do they
eat? How do they sleep? Or do they
sleep? And what is their state of
mind
/ found myself halfway between
the contending armies of England and
France on the one side and the Ger
mans and Austrians on the other, in
the town of Scissors, northeast OF
Paris.
One whole day mingled with the
people in the streets of this town, and
talked to its citizens.
Scissors is situated in a beautiful
valley on the river Aisne. AS I APP
preached the city from the south,
mounting the last gentle rise of the
hill, l could clearly distinguish the
the sunlight. l was stopped by a SEN
try. He closely scrutinized my safe
conduct pass" saluted and told me
to pass on.
A short distance further on I stood
overlooking the city. To the right the
beautiful towers of Saint Des-
Vignes were silhouetted against the
sky, their beautiful lacey spires nicked
by shells, their exquisite Gothic sides
holed rather badly.
For eight days one of the worlds
greatest artillery duels had been
going on here, and it was not yet
finished.
/ found scissors looking like de-
serted city. Hardly anyone was in
the streets. Shutters were drawn over
shop and residence windows alike. A
hungry looking dog lay shivering in
a doorway. Twenty feet beyond were
two PROSTATE horses, one dead, the
other dying, victims of shell which
had just torn the side out of a stone
house and thrown the granite blocks
across the narrow street, blocking it.
An hour afterward l took a stroll
about the city. One entire section
that on the east side of the river
was wiped out. Parts had been
shelled to fragments, the other
burned by exploding shells. On the
west side of the river and the main
side of the town one entire street
was a mass of smashed building
roofs, shattered windows, split
wooden shutters, perforated steel
ones, torn up pavements and other
evidences of shell fire. The cathe-
dral was nicked in many places. The
windows were gone. Inside | found

URGE RECLA|M|NG
OF LAND IN CHINA
Engineers Say It Would Raise
Value of Lands from Moth
ing to $48, $685. 900.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Millions
of acres of land could be reclaimed,
to provide a living for many millions
of people, and the financial outlay
would increase the land values from
nothing to enormous sums, in the
opinion of the board of engineers sent
to China by the American Red Cross
Society to devise ways and means for
preventing famines, which force suf
fering on vast numbers of Chinese,
leaving death and pestilence in their
wake, only to occur again year
after year.
To carry out the recommendations
of the board would require an ex
penditure of millions of dollars, for
which the Chinese government would
issue bonds.
The lands to be reclaimed are in
the. Kaing Su and Anhui provinces,
and total about seven million acres
upon which, if reclaimed, could be
raised more than enough food to
provide the poverty stricken in
habitants of these provinces with
food and a good living.
The board is composed of Colonel
William L. Sibert, United States
army engineer, chairman; A. p.
Davis, chief engineer of the Federal
reclamation service, and Professor
Meade. of the University of Michi
gan. Colonel Sibert has just re-
turned to Washington and laid his
report before the Red Cross officials.
1t is understood that the report will
be considered by the executive COM
mittee of the national relief board
next week.
The total cost of retaining these
lands would be about $50, 900 900, ac-
cording to estimates of the board.
The actual value of the land would
be raised from nothing to $4S,S50, 600
by the proposed improvements, and
what is now q vast waste of swamp
lands could be converted to agricul-
tural uses.

Pierre de Coubertin, president of the
French Olympic games committee, to

ing exercises and walking, running
and boxing and outdoor games de-

War Has Ended Imports
of Horses for Breeding

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. = The
European war has virtually placed
an embargo on the importation into
the United States of pure blooded
draft horses for breeding purposes,
but the standard of draft horses in
America will not suffer as conse-
quence. in the opinion OF department
of agriculture experts today.
For years the United States has
imported from $500 to 1000 blue
blooded animals for breeding pur-
poses, but since the war began, with
the exception of a very limited num-
her from England, there have been
practically no importations.

ten since Fort Dearborn was torn
down.
For two miles, on the West Side
and North Side, where the great ma
jority Of the people live, between Hal
sted street clarendon avenue) and
Western avenue, there is not a single
north and south street provided with
a bridge Of any sort across the river.
The people of those sections have no
direct thOroughfares connecting
them with each other, and it is i'm
possible for business to be establish
ed between those districts of the city.
The city has never been able to afford
to furnish that section with any
bridges at all, yet there seems to be
no difficulty whatever about urging
the people to dig down into their
pockets to put a million dollar struc-
ture over the river at Rush street.
Industrial and commercial pros
beFity must be established in a city
before the people have a right to
bond themselves for the artistic and
beautiful, to say nothing of provid-
ing funds for such hideous mon
strosities as the Twelfth street and
Michigan avenue Improvements. The
bond issue provided for the Twelfth
street improvement is an outrage,
and what has been said about the
North and West Sides will also apply
to the South and West Side connec-
lions over the river.
If the city could be provided with
a set of decent thoroughfaresS run
ming across the river, from one side
of the city to the other, business
would soon establish itself all over
the town, and the retail business
might be shared in by thousands of
prosperous little shops, as is the case
in Paris and Berlin. instead of being
monopolized by the State street |

which the city is divided into three !

from the Chicago Plan Commission
and the city council.
The Chicago river should be closed
to traffic, except ighteTage, and
should be spanned with stone bridges
the height and level of the street at
every block throughout the city.
There are no legal obstacles to this,
except the consent of the federal gov
eminent, and this could be obtained
without any trouble if the city gov
eminent asked it. Only per cent
of the freight of Chicago is carried
by water, and three-fifths of that
per cent goes to South Chicago, so
that when the balance is divided be-
tween the north branch and the south
branch it would not seem a sufficient
reason for chOpping the city up into
a lot of isolated fragments. The
million dollars which it is proposed
to put into the Rush street bridge
would go a long way toward build
ing stone bridges and making city
out of Chicago, even if the result
would be to the disadvantage of the
downtown buildings and stores. The
thing which contributes more than
any other to the beauty of Paris is
the long thoroughfares and stone
bridges across the Seine. Paris is
frequently referred to by the lectur-
ing agents of the Chicago Plan Com
mission, but in none of these pictures
of Paris have they shown, and in
none of their talks have they referred
to, any such queer structures as they
propose to erect over Twelfth street
and Michigan avenue.
Any one who has ever lifted their
voice against the bond issues with
which the Plan Commission hope to
plaster posterity has always been
booted at as totally lacking in public
spirit.
The bridge question in Chicago is
a serious one, for, unless the city is
to remain divided into several dis
