Business Bows to Army.
The industries were hard hit through
the outbreak of the war. Suspension OF
many industrial enterprises seemed IN
evitable. Germany was cut on from

have had the desired effect on othei
nations. But in the case of Germany IL
failed, thanks to the unsupported ca
pacity of German industry.
Within a short time practically the
whole German industry placed itseii

With astonishing adaptability the vari-
Gus industries concentrated their ener-
oies on the manufacture OF war ma,

industry found ways and means to pro-

materials and the army supplies al

This great industrial development
had aside from its decisive military
significance. farreaching economical ana
financial effects. The most important
of these was in the field OF interna-
tional money exchange. Raw mate

TURKS GIVE JEWS
MOSLEM RIGHTS
Extend Offer to All in
Coded Balkans to Draw
Them Back.

TURK NATIONALITY
New York Rabbi Puts Little
Faith in Latest Expedient
of the War.

Washington, Nov. 17.--Turkey, in an
effort TO draw within it: borders Jews
now in territory coded away by the
Ottoman Empire as result OF the last
Balkan war. has decided TO grant them
the same benefits and exemptions as
heretofore were accorded only to Ma
hammedans. An announcement TO this
effect was made here to-day by the
Turkish Embassy.
1.-THE advantages and exemption"
said the announcement, consist OF eX-
ceptional facilities for having access
to Ottoman soil, the acquisition OF Of
toman nationality, and immunity for a
certain period, from payment OF taxes
and military service.
During the last century the Otto
man government has accorded these IA
cilities exclusively to Mohammedan i'm
migrants coming to Turkey from Rus
STA, Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Bos-
MIA This is the first time that these
exemptions have been granted to immi-
grants protesting a religion other than
the Mohamm ,dan."
DR.. Maurice II. Harris, president Of
the Eastern Council Of Reform Rabbis,
said last night that he placed little
faith in Turkeys new grant Of privi'
leges TO the Jews.
"The special privileges now promised
by the Ottoman Empire TO those of
other faiths does not mean much to
me-" he said. 81 regard it as nothing
more than an expedient of war. Other
belligerent countries have promised
special rights and emancipation to
those suffering under disabilities in
order to obtain their loyalty and sup
port Promises made under such
emergencies may be taken for what
they are worth.
Besides the desire TO swing the 10y
atty of the Jews in the territory coded
away by the Ottoman Empire as re-
suit of the last Balwan war, there is
tho desire to swing the public opinion
of the Jews and other peoples in neu
trail countries to the side of Turkey.
This motive is well illustrated by the
promises of several Of the belligerent
European countries"

Saws "POpOlO Italia"

Paris. Nov. 1.-THE Italians, push
ing on in the Adige Valley, have ad-
vanced closer to Rovereto. On the
Carso plateau, south Of Gorilla, an IN
tense artillery duel continues.
Proposals for a separate peace were
made to Italy by Austria at the time
the recent Italian offensive was begun,
the "Popolo Italia" asserts. The paper
declares that certain territorial con-
cessions we're offered to Italy, but that
the Salandra Cabinet refused to con-

In the Adige Valley during the
morning of the 14th We enlarged and
strengthened the position We occupy

from Zugnatora toward Rovereto, on
tho left bank of the Leno de Vallersa
torrent. The enemy Immediately
opened a violent artillery fire from
Mont Chella and launched an infan-
try attack, but was repulsed.
On the Carso plateau yesterday
there was an intense artillery duel.
In the Monte San Michele zone the
enemy made two violent successive
attacks in force on our line, but each
time was stopped by the rapid and
accurate fire of our artillery, and
finally had TO retreat with heavy ioss'
AUSTRIAN OFFICIAL.

In the region of Gorilla there were
no important infantry engagements

This was denied from Washington.

recurring no government license, yet

pointed out, would not merit suen
words in q cablegram addressed to such
an important German official. On the
other hand, if the guess by the United
States radio inspector, that the sta

i. true, the words would seem TO be
singularly strong for their actual
meaning.
II is believed here that the big $500.

even closer TO Germany than the sta
ton at Tuckerton. could talk to Ger
many direct If need be.
The text of the messages sent from
Tuckerton in regard to the Deering
station, and submitted to the State De-
psrtment, follows:
In answer to Your Excelleney's
note of this morning:
First-All wireless communication
in United States controlled by Navy
Department.
Second-This station is being OPP
Grated actually by United States. and
any addition can only be made with
approval Of navy.
Fourth-After approval has been
given additional receiving plants can
be built only under presence Of naval
person.
To avoid sensation in newspapers,
which have printed lot about secret
German spy wireless stations; such
sensation might force the abandon
ment of the present plau-co opera
ton between the Navy Department
and US.
Fifth-(Jammed) New station can
be finished within fortnight.

BURNED To DEATH.
Aged Surry Woman Victim of Sad
Accident Last Friday.

Aged Surry Woman Victim of Sad
Accident Last Friday.
Mrs. Gilbert Davis, aged eighty years,
was burned to death in fire which de-
stroyed her home on the Bluehill road,
one and one-haIf miles from Surry village,
last Friday morning. The pity OF the
accident is that help was so near at hand,
yet the flames were not discovered until
too late.
Mrs. Davis, who was almost an invaIid
from old age, had been assisted as usual
about her morning work by her daughter,
Mrs. Charles Ellis, who lived just across
the road. Mrs. Ellis had gone to her own
home, leaving her mother at work about
the kitchen, while her father, who is
eighty-four years of age, and not strong,
was cutting wood just outside the kitchen
door.
Mrs. Ellis had been at home less than
half an hour when she heard her father
shouting for help. He had just discov-
cred that the house was on fire, and when
Mrs. Ellis rushed across the street ard
opened the door she was met by mass of
flames. She attempted to reach her
mother by breaking out the windows, be-
ing cut and burned in the attempt. The
W hole inside Of the house seemed mass
of flames, and rescue OF the aged woman
was impossible.
From the fact that Mrs. Davis did not
make her escape, and made no cutlery that
was heard, it is believed that the fright of
discovery of the fire might have brought
on a heart attack, to which she was sub
ject, and that, mercifully, she was uncon-
scious before realizing her terrible fate,
and died without suffering.
Coroner Harry c. Austin, OF Ellsworth, >.
who was summoned, reached the scene
while the ruins of the house were still
smouldering, and it was impo sible
to make a search for the body. Later
it was recovered, burned beyond all SEM
blance of a human being. An inquest
was deemed unnecessary.
How the fire started is a mystery, Mrs.
Davis was not working with anything
that might have caused a sudden blaze.
The fire may have been burning in the
upper part of the house some time before
it was discovered.
