SPAIN MOURNS FOR
PRINCE MAURICE
King Alfonso Proud of the
Bravery of His Brother-in-
Law on Fighting Line.

Madrid, Nov. 4.-The death of Prince
Maurice of Battenberg, who was very
popular in Spain, is causing sympa-
thetic references in Spanish papers
Prince Maurice was great favorite
Of King Alfonso, who had received
several letters from him after his ar
rival at the front, and the King was
proud to communicate TO the press de-
tails of the prowess of his brother
in-law.
Three days before his death Prince
Maurice wrote:
al have so far been very lucky. l
have had two shots through my cap
to-day, neither of which touched me-"
From another letter, not written by
the prince, the contents of which were
communicated by court official, 1t
seems that King Alfonso received news
that the young prince generally was
TO be found in the forefront of the
fehting-line, and on one occasion was
the very first man TO reach a battery
of German guns which his regiment
WAS charging.

WAR RISK MARKET
IS DEMORALIZED
German Naval Success Upsets
All Calculations of the
Insurance Men.

The GerniTh naval victory of Chill,
following IN the closing Of the
North Sea by the British admiralty
and the placing of floating mines off
the coast of Ireland by the Germans.
and coming just when there is pos
sibility of the Turks blocking the Suez
Canal, has completely demoralized
quotations for war risks. There is no
such thing any more as an average
rate on traffic TO west or east coast
ports of England and Scotland, or to
the Far East, via the Suez Canal, or
to the west coast of South America.
No two underwriters are of the same
mind as to what rate should be
charged, or whether the business
should be written at all. Some of them
are evading IL wherever possible, in
the idea, as they say, that 1t is wholly
unreasonable TO take such risks; but
at the some time there are others who
see excellent opportunities for making
money in it, and because they are
chargingf airly low rates the more
prudent are having a hard time salts
flying their customers.
One underwater said yesterday that
while he was personally neutral, he
knew that as long as the German COM
morce destroyers were ranging the
seas il would be bad for the insurance
men, and he wished most heartily that
they would be caught. "The next
thing that will be attacked" he said,
"is the northern route across the Paci
fic. And IL will be not time at all, the
way things are going, before some Of
the German feet slips through the
English Gordon and rail the Atlantic
lanes. Germany has had her whack
at shipping off the African coasts and
off India; to a lesser extent at Medi-
/ terranean traffic, at North Sea bust
ness, at the West Indian trade and at
trade on both coasts of South Amer
/ lea. We've been wishing right along
that her ships could be caught up with,
so as TO clear the ocean. And now
they have been caught, they're better
off than ever"

Washington, Nov. 4.-Government

but Ambassador Morgenthau has given
no indication that such course is
necessary and officials are taking 1t for
granted that Americans are safe and
will not be molested.
Financial conditions in Turkey for
Americans have been relieved not only
through private interests but through
the arrival of the American cruisers
North Carolina and Tennessee. The
fiscal arrangements established by the
ambassador for the distribution OF
funds to American missionaries and
institutions is declared to be working
smoothly and ample funds are said TO
be available for emergencies.

BOY SCOUTS USED

Rotterdam, Nov. 4.-There is little
doubt that the Boy Scouts have been
employed by Germans for carrying
ammunition, Red Cross requisites and
food to the troops in the trenches.
As the result of newspaper articles
on the subject, the German Minister
of War has issued On order, which ap-
pears in the "Vosssche Zeitung," that
the use of boys for these purposes is
strictly forbidden in future.
Not only have Boy Scouts been used
for the purposes mentioned, but in
