FIGHTING to Avert War

LONDON, Aug. THAT the powerful financial in

thing has reused the hopes of the peace advocates
admitted that should the bankers who control finance
and business unite in their opposition the will take

1t suggested here that the international group of
bankers centerng in Berlin and Paris responsible for
the sudden resumption of negotiations between the French
premier and the German ambassador to France, after

1t is certain that the bankers opposed to at

Bank of England Paying
Gold on All Demands

LONDON, Aug. la run on the
Bank Of England, the greatest financial
institution in the world, was resumed
today. More than 100 persons were in
line when the bank opened. Most o.
them were demanding gold on notes
with which they had been paid by other
banks.
The National Penny Bank suspended
today following heavy demands made
upon it.
The minimum discount rate was ad-
vanced by the Bank of England today
from to 10 per cent. Advices received
from Copenhagen declare the bank rate
in Denmark will probably be increased
to per cent today. The rate of the
German Imperial Reich Bank has been
advanced from S to 6 per cent.
Only once in the history of the Rank
of England has the minimum discount
rate been at 10 per cent, since it took
its modern form under the bank act of
1874. That was forty-eight years ago
following the failure of the banking
firm of Overland, Guerney & Co.
In effect this rate is prohibitive.

RAIL RATE RULING
TO Be GIVEN TODAY
Commission to Deny Flat Five
Per Cent Raise, But Make
Concessions.

The fong-awaited decision Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission In the
5 per cent advance rate case will be
given out late this afternoon. according
to authoritative announcement made
today. 1t is learned on good authority
that the commission will rule against
the railroads in their application for a
horizontal per cent advance in freight
rates, though concessions will be grant
ed in class rates, and in opening other
sources of revenues for the roads, which
will partially compensate them.
Although the report of the commission
is being carefully guarded in advance Of
its official release. and no official state
ment of its contents will be made. the
main fact, that the roads will win only
a partial victory, has been established
through Information obtained from I'M
official sources close to the commission.
Will Make Concessions.
With possible minor exceptions, no in
crease will be allowed in commodity
rates, which includes coal. coke. ore.
stone, lumber, and other building mate
rial, paper. pulp. ice. flour, and petro-
leum. The fight put UP by Attorney
Frank Lyon in behalf OF shippers in the
Pittsburgh district. who protested
against y,
was one of the factors influencing the
commission in this regard, 1t is under
stood.
Increases in class rates. which apply
on goods shipped In boxes. bundles,
bales crates, and other Packages, and
largely of manufactured goods, will be
allowed
Lake and rail rates will not be in
creased.
The Increase in class rates will net
10 nho
In addition. the commission, as was
forecast in the hearing. will show
the railroads how they can save $25.-
600, 900 a year additional by the discon-
tinuance OF free service now given.
This includes free switching, spotting,
loading and unloading and terminal
services: free collection and delivery.
free wharfage and dockage and other
concessions to big shippers. One in
stance is pointed out where the rail-

Roads To Be Criticised.
Financial mismanagment OF the New
Haven. Pere Marquette. Frisco, Alton,
c. II. and D.. and other roads will be
given severe criticism in the report OF
the commission, and to this misman-
agement, more than other causes. will
be assigned responsibility for failure
to make the roads profitable.
The bulk Of the increase will go to
roads of the Central Freight Associa-
ton territory. The Eastern roads,
the soft coal roads. will not
receive the benefits they have de-
manded.
1t was on class rates that the rail-
roads leveled their hardest fight how
ever. and the report is not expected to |
be wholly disappointing to the roads, |
as 1t will give them a victory in this !
particular.

BOMBS FROM THE BEACH.

The first official work OF the encamp-
ment was the raising of the tall fiagpole
in front of brigade headquarters, which
will fly the Stars and Stripes each day
till the militiamen go home. 1t was
raised last night by Sergt. Birney
Shields. of the quartermaster's DEPART
ment, who. with much ceremony and
with the assistance of half a dozen
civilian employees, dug a deep hole in
the earth and planted the fifty-foot
staff. At sunup this morning the man.
moth flag. which always flies in front
OF the brigadier generals tent, was
raised to the top amid the cheers of the
few guardsmen who were up OF that
hour.
He wasn't frightened the least bit at
the storm into which the Southland,
which brought the advance guard to
Norfolk. ran into early yesterday morn
ing He admitted that he wasn't.
But Lieut.. Frank Sigourney didn't want
to take any chances of having his
drowned but purple pajama clad body
picked up on some shore should the
boat have foundered. A sudden peal of
thunder and many flashes OF lightning,
followed by a slight list Of the boat,
caused Sigourney to jump ort of his
bed and rush from his stateromo. He
then remembered the lavender night
wear which he sported. and wondered
what the rest Of the militia would think
about its color. He rushed back to his |
stateroom and opened every suitcase,
looking for a substitute set. But in his |
excitement he failed to locate one. 'I
wasn't thinking so much about getting
drowned" he said. "as I was about |
what the fellows would say had they
seen those purple ones which I wes |
wearing" He gave them away this |
morning.

At the Lyric

In highly amusing and congenial roles, which gave them both ample op- portunities to display their talents, Mary Marble and Little Chip. probably two of the greatest favorites that have ever appeared in local theatres, were given a reception last night at the Lyric by a capacity audience that proved they have lost none of their popularity in Birmingham. The vehicle used to display their unusual talents is a clever picture book playlet, "The Land of Dykes" As the title suggests the scene is laid in Holland. representing a charming. example of scenic art, while the costumes are typically Dutch. Miss Marble is the same dainty, finished commedienne so well remembered in the days of Bijou Musical Comedy company. Little Chip as the Dutch boy Is particu- larly suited to the part which he DOT trays with a quaint drollness. Their singing and dancing numbers were very pleasing. They are ably assisted by John w. Dunne. under whose direction the playlet is staged,
 No less popular proved the act of Howard and Ratcliff, assisted by Miss Dorothy Hayden, which they term "A Happy Combination" Miss Hayden tangos and trots in most charming manner Ratclff sings well, but to Howard as the inebreate fell the honors. It is seldom that a character of this kind pleases, but in the hands of MT. Howard 1t is highly diverting
 Of the many other interesting acts which this weeks bill offers is Hill and Sylviani, who present a startling and daring cycle riding performance using an old time high wheel and a wagon wheel. The ride of the man down a flight of steps with the woman balanced on his shoulders is one of the most sensational cycle features on the vaudeville stage.
 Mystifying and bewlldering is the ex- hibition of mental telepathy by the Frescotts The medium" describes articles and calls out the names of peo- pie in the audience in truly remark able manner The act is very enter taining.
