TO STOP FINANCIAL PANIC
Money Is Advanced to Insolvent Con-
Germs and Moratorium Proclaimed.
VIENNA. Sept 21.

VIENNA, sept. n.
An emergency hospital Is being created
at cost Of s2OO.OOO by the municipality
This will be used for the treatment Of
infectious diseases. Dozens of buildings
have been converted into hospitals for
the care Of wounded soldiers, who are
being brought here from both the eastern
and southern theatres Of war for treat
ment
There Is n feeling Of depression in some
quarters, which the Government is doing
its best to tighten. This has been accen-
tuated by the financial and Industrial
paralysis.
The Government has been compelled to
resort to vigorous measures 20 prevent
a disastrous panic Insolvent concerns
are being supervised by commission ap-
pointed by the Government. This step
has been taken by the Government to
prevent wholesale bankruptcy.
The courts are appointing trade ex-
perts to take charge of insolvent con-
Germs and every other possible step Is
being taken by the Government to pre-
vent the situation which is already seri-
Gus, from growing out OF hand.
During the course of the war no bank
ruptCy proceedings may be started i'm the
courts. The Government has also issued
n decree, taking the form Of a mora
torum, by which no executions may be
levied.
In some instances the Government has
even advanced money to manufacturing
enterprises to keep them running. This
is particularly true of the textile bust
ness. It is expected that the sJ"rr in
dustry viii absorb about s40,OOOO0O of
the $4,000 600 war loan which the Gov
ernment has authorized.
The Austro- Hungarian Bank will have
charge of the special State war loan
