MONEY MATTERS
0. K, SAYS PASH
Announces England Is
Ready to Do Business
in Normal Way.

Philadelphia. Nov. 13.-Sir George
Paish, of London, in an address at the
annual dinner of the Investment Bank
ers' Association of America here to-
night, declared that all financial mat
ters in England that had been disar-
ranged by the European war had been
adjusted and 1--WE are prepared once
again TO resume business in the normal
way" Although the London Stock Ex-
change is still closed. Sir George said
that one of the greatest obstacles to its
resumption of business had been re-
moved and that he hoped to see 1T re-
open in the near future.
"The Stock Exchange" he said, was
caught with loans to bankers of nearly
one hundred millions sterling, and re-
Gently an arrangement has been Inade
TO continue these loans as long as it is
necessary, even if beyond the duration
of the war, and to provide members OF
the Stock Exchange with fresh funds
that they may carry on their business
as usual"
Continuing, Sir George said: 1--WE
are prepared to discount bills. and
think in a short time you will find that
we are prepared to do business in our
stock markets as we usually do. There
is, however, one matter that is unusual.
The supply of banking money in Lon
don will, | am convinced, be as great
as ever, but il will be obvious TO you
that the supply Of capital in England
cannot be as great as ever, at any rate,
not for outside purposes"

ALlMONY AWARD USELESS
Because Mrs. Christopher's s
Husband is in w. Va Jail.

Mrs. Sarah W. II. Christopher, for
merly an inspector Of the Fire Preven-
tion Bureau of the Fire Department,
will obtain a divorce on the testimony
given yesterday before Justice Guy
about the disappearance from New
York Of her husband, William =. Chris
topher, with young woman named
Lou Kissner.
Because OF his relations with Miss
Kissner, IL was testified, Mrs. Chris
topher's husband is now serving a
term in Jail in West Virginia. Miss
Kissner died about month ago from
mercury poisoning. She believed that
she was the wife of Christopher. but
he was still the husband of the former
inspector.
Four years ago Christopher ran away
with the wife of a Tammany politician.
Since then his wife has not lived with
him. She has been supporting her
two children. She asked the court to
award her alimony, which, however,
her husband will not be able to pay
for some time because Of his detention
in West Virginia.
