cording to Isamic law a Moslem can
not be put to death for the killing Of a
Christian. According to the Grand Mutt
murder is no crime in the eyes of Is
lam when the slayer is Moslem and
his victim an unbeliever. This doctrine

war can adjust the power of countries
to the changing stages OF their inner
development.
1t is easily said and the average
American likes TO say IT, that nations
ought to respect the possessions OF other
nations as individuals respect the pri-
vate property of their neighbors. But
this apparently highest morality would
be the grossest immortality. The prop

industry; there is unlimited supply; he
does not need TO take anything by force

How Necessity of War

That war has it's own value and

points brought out by Prof.
Hugo Muenster6erg in his new
book. The War and America"
which will be published this
week by d. Appleton & Co.. and
which is frankly an expression of
the German view. Prot. Muen-

wars may be prevented, though
nor by arbitration treaties and
similar means. Extracts from

BUSINESS LIGHTER
AS WEEK BEGINS,
MONEY MART FIRM
Securities Being Absorbed at
Previous Pnces-Trading
in New Street Dwindles
When Offerings Become
Scarce.
Scarce.


!. trhe new week started with a diminished
-. .ume of business. rejecting an absorp-
tion Of securities around previously pre-
vaiiing prices. Brokers are negotiating fol
many large blocks OF bonds, Including Penn
syIvania 4s on 5m and per cent. basis,
and the demand was large enough to
permit transactions in greater volume
than was recorded a month before the
Stock Exchange closed.
II was stated today that on several
days last week sales through the New
York Stock Exchange committees ex-
ceeded s2.OOOOOO day, while many
trades were made outside of the commit
tees on about the same scale.
Business on the New street curb has
dwindled away to small amounts because
OF scarcity of offerings. Pennsylvania
was quoted at 1O1 bid and none offered,
and New York Central 751i bid and none
offered,
On the Broad street curb several is
sues were active and strong this morn
ing, with United Profit Sharing moving
up to II against 9Ja on Saturday, making
a new high record. Motor stocks were
in good demand at advanced prices
A variation in the money market in New
York made the tone rmer, with time
money quoted at per cent. and per
cent. on the usual proportion of railroad
and Industrial collateral, but some small
loans were made on high-grade collateral
at 5% per cent. Money on call was un-
changed at per cent, with few trans
actions reported. Sterling exchange ruled
steady, demand being quoted at 4sO9s and
49ON, and cables at 4s19s and 4.9lh.
The strong tone shown in the various
markets in New York makes brokers
anxious to force the reopening of the
Stock Exchange. Governors of the ex-
change insist however. that action look
ing toward reopening cannot even be dis
cussed. At the same time various de-
velopments seem to be in the direction
Of a resumption of trading by the or
gnnized bodies OF brokers. The Consoli-
dated Exchange begins trading in wheat
on wednesday. the New York Metal Ex-
change resumed business today and the
New York Cotton Exchange will, in all
probability, reopen on next Monday.

PLAN TO REOPEN
BOURSE IN PARIS,
CONFERENCE HELD
Dealers in French Rentes
Meet Finance Minister.
Cash Market May Resume
Toward End of Month.

PARIS. Nov. 9.-For the purpose of dis
oussing the situation in the unofficial
market OF the Paris Stock Exchange ana
the question OF opening the official cash
market at the Bourse. representatives of
the chamber for clearing house opera
tions In French rentes conferred with
Finance Minister Ribot. The repre-
sentatives were Messrs. Valin, Georges
and Brun. Outside dealings In rentes
were also discussed.
The Representatives laid stress on the
necessity of maintaining a solid organl-
cation of the unofficial market. in view
especially OF future loans to be issued
nationally. The arguments presented to
Minister Ribot interested him greatly.
The issue of national defense bonds con-
tinues successfully. The greater facilities
offered by multiplying the offices where
the bonds can be bought attract larger
numbers OF subscribers. The average in
come to the Treasury is about $500, 900
daily.
The bonds are readily transferred be-
cause they are made out to order or to
bearer. They are reimbursabls In three,
six and twelve months and bear interest
at the rate OF 5.26 per cent The great
question of the reopsning of the financial
market is dependent on the possibility of
effecting liquidation of the market posi-
tions of last July.
The dimeulty or fair settlement to
satisfy brokers and others who carried
over securities three months, and who
await a decision OF the matter, was
keenly discussed between Finance Min
lister Ribot and the syndic of the chamber
OF the official stock brokers and repre-
sentatiYes of the Bank of France. An
agreement is probable that the bank will
advance a portion of the amount lent
at the end OF July TO carry over stock
on deposit OF the securities at the bank
In addition 10 the guarantee OF the cor
poration OF the oficial stock brokers un-
der signature OF the syndic and parties
to the contract.
There is a possibility OF opening the
official cash market at the BouTss toward
the end OF the current month. Nothing
positive has been decided so far, how
ever.
The rsopsning of the account market
Is more perplsxing and remote because
OF the important and faF-Teaehing hnan-
cial operations involved.
The latest prices OF French national
stocks on the Bordeaux Bourse are as
follows. French ss. highest markings,
rs francs 80 confines; new sh per cent.
rentss. 50 francs. and State per cent

LEDGER CENTRAL
GIVES THE RIGHT
ANSWER OR NONE
They Could Supply Mayor
Blankenburg With a Mid
die Name, but That Is Not
the Policy.

"Tlng-a-ling -a-lingP'
One Of the wise men at Ledger Central
picked UP the receiver.
HAS Rudolph Blankenburg a middle
manner" came over the wire.
Now the Information Bureau at Led
ger Central thought OF several appella-
tlons which might in all good taste have
been sandwiched in between the first and
last names Of our good Mayor. Honest
Politician" Straight as a Die" "on the
Level might all have been the middle
name OF Mayor Blankenburg, in the opin-
ion of the Bureau.
But Ledger Central doesn't deal in
slang, or guesswork, for that matter. And
so, never having heard middle name
connected with Mayor Blankenburg, the
Information man got busy" on another
wire and put the momentous question up
to the Mayors secretary.
1.-THE Mayor has no middle name. It's
plain Rudolph Blankenburs, and good
enough at that" was the answer
1t was only little question to ask, and
It didn't take more than two minutes
to get the answer, yet there are people
who will lose good nights sleep pom
dering over lesser problems.
Now, Ledger Central isn't exactly
haven for sleepless ones, but II you're
bothering your brain over some disputed
point II you're sure you're right, but
can't make the fellow who has bet with
you believe 1t, call on Ledger Central to
~
give you the correct answer or none at
all. You can be pretty sure about that.
There are many things which the gen.
eral public Is often curious about, but
Mr. General Public doesn't always have
the means of satisfying his curiosity.
Suppose he wants to know what news
paper in a given far-away town has the
largest circulation, or what it's political
affiliation Is. or who its owner Is. He
can find out from Ledger Central Sup
pose he has a literary composition that
he wants to send away to an editor but
doesn't know the address of the maRa-
zine. Ledger Central can give it to him.
Once, not so very long ago, a woman
came into the Bureau and asked for tho
name of Il boarding school with a good
reputation to which she could send her
4-year-old son.
Secretly, the Ledger Central man
thought the infant belonged in a day
nursery or cradle, but his was not to
question why; his was simply and solely
to get on the Job and find out what was
asked him. The upshot of the whole
matter was that an excellently recon-
mended school which takes youngsters
at the tender age of was discovered and
the inquirer left happy
Ledger Central's answering questions
like these every day. It's not too much
trouble to answer few more. So If
there's any little thing that's bothering
YOU let Ledger Central help you out.
That's what It's for.
