RAISING MONEY
IN ENGLAND BY
SOUND METHODS

London, Nov. 2!.-"In raising money for
the war the government has resisted all
temptations to unsound methods said
Lord Inchcape in his inaugural address
as president OF the Institute Of Bankers.
Whether we can continue in the paths
of financial rectitude depends on how far
the people respond to the urgent demands
for thrift and economies.
The amounts still TO be raised for our
selves and our allies are enormous. We
may be able 70 borrow a portion abroad,
but the remainder must come out Of the
nations savings. Any other course
would involve US in imitation and conse-
quent rise in prices, but l am sangu'ne
that the nation will make the heavy sac
rifces necessary"
Very different, said Lord Inchcape. had
been the financial policy Of Germany.
which was characterized by 'recklessness
and improvdence." None Of the money
required for the war had been raised b.
increased taxation. Each successive loan
meant fresh imitation of the currency,
resulting in a steady and sustained rise
in prices.
The task Of redeerning the securities
and retiring the notes would be left for
an exhausted ard defeated nation 20 face

five minutes Bay Wood of Fail River

two slashing Six-round bouts Tuesday
night in the opera house at Camden.

in their opinion as to which had the
better Of the match. Wood fought
with his customary aggressiveness,
landing about two blows to his Oppo-
nents one, but in the end bore signs
Of the conflict that were in striking
contrast with Young Jasper. who was
unscathed. Young Powers of Camden
and Mickey Mccormick of Rockland
fought six fast rounds. Powers came
back strong after being apparently on
the verge Of a knockout.

clever English boxer, just one minute
anc AZ seconds Tuesday night to stop
Jimmy Duffy Of Lockport, \. y. in
their bout at the Atlas A. A., Boston.
They boxed at catchweights. The
prise. II Duffy is a clever as he was
touted, he did not have a chance to
show it. All that he did to Lewis
was to land one punch and that was
to the head. In the short time the
bout lasted, Duffy was on the mat
eight times. Seven times he was floored
with left hooks to the jaw and the
other time he fell down himself to try
and get his bearings.
Eddie O'keefe and Kid Herman will
meet in New Orleans Nov. 20.
Arthur Pelky and Carl Morris will
probably meet in Muskogee next
month.
Mike Gibbons has received such a
tempting offer from Australia to box

OF SERB ACTIONS

confirmation of the report that the Ser
bian army of General Bokovitch is now
opposing only a thin screen to the Aus
tro-German advance says a Saloniki
dispatch dated Nov % in the Temps to-
day. THE main forces have been con-
centrated on the Kossovo plain. General
Bokovitch will hurl $1,000 men against

files of Katchanik and Gortchou.
1.-THE Serbians may even attempt the
supreme effort of dashing into Uskup
and then on to Veles, there to join hands
with the French. But in order that the
battle shall end in anything but sublime
suicide, the operation must be carried
out energetically and success must be
achieved promptly.
There is good reason to believe the
Bulgarians will not occupy Monastir un-
til the arrival of the first attachments Of
