BUYING ROYALS BY
 WAGON LOADS HERE
Hundreds See Evidence of Real Pros perity in Large Type
 writer Order

That business is getting decidedly bet ter was very much in evidence yester- day to hundreds of citizens who saw d wagon load of Royal typewriters being transported about the street, carrying a banner which announced that the entire consignment had just been purchased by Bonds Private Shorthand school, in the Hood building, for the use if its pupils
 Many of those who observed the wagon load of typewriters attempted to figure out how much they cost the school. Royals cost $l00 each and in order to count all the wagon contained it was necessary for the amateur statisticians to follow the vehicle for several blocks
 D. H, Brown, local manager of the Royal Typewriter company says busi- ness with his company Is fiourishing. The fact that the Royal is the best typewriter on the market today Is being brought home to the man who wants the maxi mum of work for minimum of expense, said MT. Brown.-A Advertisement

PREMIER AsQuITH IN
 HOUSE OF COMMONS
Cabinet Committee of Three to Five
 to Conduct the War.

london, Nov. 2 7.45 D. m.-The prime minister, MT. Asquith. in the house of commons today, delivered be- fore the largest assembly of the year bis wfde-heralded and much discussed abatement on the progress of the war. The premier's speech was charac tertstic one. His most important dec- laration was that the war will bt con ducted by a cabinet of from three to fivs members which will consult with the full cabinet on questions of the most serious nature
 It is taken for granted that the pre- mier, Lord Kitchener. secretary for war and A. J. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty, will be members of this council The plan was expected and seems in the nature of a compromise to meet the criticism that cabinet of 20 members is unwieldy. With respect to the Dardanelles operations, the pre- mier insisted on taking his full share of the responsibility. These opera tions, he said, were designated to in fi1ence the Balkan situation, open the way for supplies for the Russians and strike a blow at the heart of the Turkish empire. The allied forces at the Dardanelles, Mir Asquith pointed out, were holding up 20G,000 Turks. But he gave no indication of what fh6 Gut1Te policy would be on this inn portant section of the war front.

WHiTLock REPORTS ON
 EXECUTION or MISS cAvELL
Facts Submitted to Ambassador Page
 Were Not for Publication.

Washington, Nov. 2-Brand Whit lock. American minister to Belgium, has transmitted a lengthy report to the United States government review ing iu detail the steps taken by him and the members of his legation staff in coInection with the execution by the German military authorities of Miss Edith CaFell, a British nurse
 The minister declares that the re- ports made by him on the subject con- stituted merely a recital of facts with out expression of opinion and that he had submitted them to Ambassador Page at London for his information, but not for publication. In the natural course, the ambassador, reporting on the care of British subjects by Ameri- can diplomatic officers, transmitted the documents to the British foreign of- flee. which made them public.
 Publication of the letters, Mir. Whit lock says, greatly embarrassed him in Brussels. with the German authorities, although he adds that the latter now seem satisfied with his explanation and there is no indication of further difi- culty. His position from the time the German occupation of Belgium began has been delicate one. since he has no diplomatic status as minister to Belgium. and is permitted to remain at Brussels only by courtesy of the German commander

ASKS EXPLANATION FOR SEIZURE OF ROCKING
Ambassador Payne instructed to As-
 certain the Reasons.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Seizure of the American steamship Hooking by a British cruiser off the Atlantic coast has brought to issue a question on which the positions of the United States and the entente allies are SO far apart that some officials believe arbi- tratfou ultimately will have to be re- sorted to for settlement.
 Secretary Lansing cabled Ambassa- dor Page at London today to secure from the British government an ex planation Of the facts connected with the seizure Of the Hooking and the reasons therefor. When this irfcrma- tiCn iH forthcoming the state depart ment probably will protest immediately and demand the surrender of the ahtp. It is fully expected that following. it's usual course, the British foreign of : flee will claim the privilege of sending the Rocking to "a prize court and as the United States government, where no question of human life was con- cerned usually has consented to await the issue of the regular legal proceed ings, it is likely that no objection will be made to this procedure, though all rights will be reserved.
 The last precedent to the present case was that of the American steam ship Davia.

 STRIKE IN BOSTON
After Conference with Freight Hand- lers.


 Boston, Nov. 2.-Sentiment in favor of general transportation strike in this city was expressed by labor lead CTS after a conference in Mayor Cur ley's office between representatives of the striking freight handlers of the Boston and Maine, Boston and Albany and the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroads and various inter ests involved had failed to result in any agreement. The outy concessions made by the compa-ies, it was nn- derstood, were that they would receive committees representing the strikers to- morrow afternoon
 Efforts to have the companies agree to submit the drnelnands of the freight handlers for more pay and shorter hours to arbitration and to allow the men to return to work pending tEe award of an arbitration beard were unsuccessful.
 The strikers committees will report the result of the conference to a joint meeting of the Central Labor Union and the teamsters joint council to- morrow night, when some action re- garding the question of a general transportation strike is expected to bc taken. Both these bodies have already announced their full support of the freight handlers strike.
