OF SECURITIES
ABSORBED BY US.
These were American Sc.
curities Owned by Euro
peans when war Broke

New York. Dec. 24.-Approximate-
ly @1,b00,000,000 (par value) of
American securities which were for
etgn owned when the European war
broke out. have been absorbed in the
United States during the past sixteen
months, financial experts here esti-
mated yesterday. -, & .ttiipt a
The Delaware g. Hudson company
announced yesterday that statistics
furnished by the l4t principal ratl- :
roads Of, the United States showed
that $480,893;136 s(par value)i$ of
American railroad securities Of all
forms were transferred from foreign
to American owners between Febru-
ary and July 81, 1915. In addition
to this amount the companies esti-
mated that between $50, 900, 900 and
$76,OO0,000 was bought by Americans
from foreigners during the same per-
tod. but had not been actually trans
ferred when the figures were compil-
ed.
Experts pointed out that not only
had Americans bought back an enor-
nous volume of domestic securities,
but that the recent $500, 100000 Ang-
lo-French war loan had been virtual
ly absorbed here, thus bringing the
total Of securities taken from foreign
sources to at least $4,000, 100000.
In reaching this estimate, experts
took into account a previous state
ment from the Delaware & Hudson
that more than $3.50, 100000 (par
value) of American railroad securi-
ties had come back to this country
between September, 1914, and Febru-
ary, 1915.

sular agents today.
Further diplomatic correspondence
with Austria ia-Hungary will result, It is
said, II the oficial reports confirm

No official Information of the Incl

press dispatches contained statements
which warranted prompt investigation.
II the dispatches are correct in details.
it Is said the United States would take
up with Austria Hungary the question
Of torpedoeing ships without warning,
and will demand assurances that the
practice will be discontinued as being
contrary to the rules Of international
law and principles Of humanity.
Coming at time when the officials
believed the controversy over the An

RESTRICT USE
OF PASSPORTS

London, Dec. 24.-Special restric-
tions on the use Of Swiss passports are
being enforced by all the entente
countries, owing to the ease with
which Swiss citizenship can be obtain
ed in some sections Of the little re-
public. The business Of naturalization
In Switzerland is in the hands Of the
municipalities. and although ordinari-
ly two years residence is required
this may be waived by the local au-
thorities.
According to advices which have
reached the British authorities, GER
tain small villages near the German
frontier have recently been granting
naturalization to a considerable num-
Der of Germans, stipulating only that
the applicants must pay $17O in lieu
Of the customary residence provision.
In view of these recent naturaliza-
tions. the British authorities will here
after require every person travelling
with Swiss passport to present also
his naturalization certificate or his
birth certificate. Admission will be
refused to all persons naturalized
since the beginning of war.

Panama, Dec. 24.-The entire. west
coast Of South America is asking for
ships to move the vast amount of
frei ight that is piling up at the various
ports awaiting shipment to other
countries, according to information in
shipping circles here. The closing of
the Panama canal, together with new
conditions brought about by the Euro

the present congestion. All the ships
that touch at ports along the South

Arenas to Panama regularly are get

and SO much is being trans-shipped
