LONDON 'cHANGE OPENS
Business Resumed Under Restrictions
and Trading is Limited = Not a
Single Transaction in American Sc
curities Attendance Reduced by
War.

London, Jan. 4-.The London stock
exchange reopened for business today
after having been closed on account
of the war since July 30. Severe re-
strictions were placed on trading in or
der to prevent unloading Of securities
by hostile countries. The session
opened with ringing cheers and to the
strains of the national anthem. A num-
ber of British and French members
were absent on account Of the war.
while the exclusion Of aliens who were
not able to satisfy the committee that
they had severed all connections with
foreign countries, reduced somewhat
the foreign attendance.
The fact that business had been re-
sumed, even under restrictions, is
taken to indicate that the greatest
crisis in the history of the exchange
has been negotiated by the combined
action of the treasury and the ex-
change committee.
The house had been redecorated and
today 1t presented a cheerful appear
ance. Several British members ap-
peared in khaki. There was no shout
ing Of bids across the house and the
business was on strictly cash basis.
The committee allowed business only
between the hours of II and 8, and
with arbitrage business banned. There
will be no street dealings in American
securities at the present time. The
members generally appeared extremely
pleased again to nave roof over their
heads after their wretched experiences
during the past five months.
The belief that the restrictions would
curtail business was borne out In the
first half hour. Not single bargain
occurred in Americans and only few
appeared. The war loan was marked
at 94x and then at 81 9-16. India 3h
per cents were quoted at s3M, and Rio
Tintos 1io1si!na!iy at 81. Union Pac!acs
were 119 and consols 6S1s.

FIFTY sEAMEN RESCUED.

More Survivors From BattIeship For-
midabie Reach Port.
London, Jan. Another cutter from
the British battleship Formidable,
which was sunk in the English channel
Friday. has reached Lyme Regis,
Dorsetshire. with fifty men. bringing
the total Of saved up to POI men.
When the cutter left the Formid-
able she had sixty men aboard but
all but fifty succumbed to exposure,
having been in an open boat for
some twenty hours in violent storm.
Albert Edward Cooper. master at
arms. one Of the survivors, landed at
Lyme-Regis, said the explosion oc-
Cured between 1:3O and 2:3O in the
morning. When he reached the deck
the ship had begun to settle on the
starboard side. Boats were launched
and remained near the ship to pick
up survivors, but some OF the boats,
which stood off about twenty yards.
were swamped by wreckage.
The men were all scantily clad and
suffered terribly from cold during the
twenty hours occupied in reaching the
shore.
Some died during the day and were
passed overheard. Upon the arrival OF
the cutter at Lyme Regis at II o'clock
last night, six more men were found
dead in the bottom OF the boat.
A policeman on duty heard cries for
help. and going to the beach, found the
cutter with the men, none Of whom
could land without assistance. Some
OF them were SO exhausted that artific.
ial respiration had to be resorted to.
A terrific southeast gale was blowing
all the time and altho the men took
turns at the oars it was impossible for
them to keep warm.

London, Jan. 4.-Utterly irreconcil-
able are the claims Of the contendins
armies in the east. In the west the un-
precedented wet weather precludes op-
erations of = decisive character.
The activities Of the Turks In the
Caucasus seem to be assuming increas-
ing Importance, judging by the Petro-
grad communications. Altho not adj
mitting that the Turks have been vic
torious, It Is conceded they are fighting
with valour and stubbornness near the
fortified town OF Samri- -KaSnysh. The
Turks claim to have taken this posi-
ton. Russia, however. does not admit
this. and says the Turks have suffered
enormous losses.
Comparing the Russian and Turkish
statements It would seem the Turks are
making headway, but both sides are
losing heavily In men.

there never has been an invasion in

PETTING THE RAILROADS.

In nearly every state little sop
In the way OF legislation In being
thrown TO the railroads, and even the
federal government ~ patting them on
the back now and then This IL true
Of nearly every state except Oklahoma,
where the corporation commissioners
still glare at the roads with Il stony
stare, at least when they ARE standing
where the public can see them,
In eastern states the railroad off
cials are smiling In sIckly way, but
with much gratitude on account Of the
five per cent rute increase that was TT.
Gently granted The increase was
given most grudgingly but It was bet
ter than nothing There is talk Of an
Increase here and there all over the
country and occasionally few cents
may be- added 10 classification.
The fact is that the railroads ot
the country, both east and west, have
been badly whipped. 1t may be said
that they were horscwhimcd. so severe
was the lashing In addition To that
they were jumped upon for II was a
poor and puny legislature that couldn't
give the railroads Il kick while they
were down
In reality the railroads needed
neither treatment. or at least they did
not deserve the rough handling
Neither do they need to be- pettrd al
this juncture ny much as they need lC
he let alone Let the experienced trhf
RE men get to work on them. call M
the politicians for awhile and the rail
roads win begin 10 prosper again
There is plenty Of work for the rail
roads To do. hut II cannot be- don,
while 50 many commissioner anI
other politicians arc blocking the righ

Nearly every Legislature has rule
by which debates may be shut off
This Is not saying that legislatures
are given to rushing their business
through, but there are occasions when
uey are not dellberatlve enough In the
true sense and do not give to import
ant measures the consideration they
merit.
From the beginning II has been the
hoast OF the United States senate that
Il was composed OF a body Of men
given tu dcliberation. Patterned ~
some etent after the English parlia.
M.nt, II was even more delIberotlyc.
une Of its distinctions has been that
every measure before II should he
given the most. careful consideration
Ii has offset many times the lmpul
siveness of the house Of representa-
tives. Many times the country would
have been alarmed and upset by legls
latinn enacted In the house had ere
not been confidence that the senate
would remedy the defects befor 'ht
measure was finally enacted inlC
