BELGIAN BUSINESS
 IS BEING RESTORED

Brussels, March 12.--(via Berlin to Lon don, S:35 D. m.)-According to Privy Coun- cilor Bornhardt of the economic com mission appointed by the German govern ment to promote Belgian business in- terests, progress is being made toward normal industrial and transportation ac- tivity. It is stated that 107,00o coal miners are working half time as against 145O00 who operate the mines normally.
 The iron industry has been more back ward fin resuming work, because 80 per cent of the product previously was ex- ported and now export business is almost at standstill. Nevertheless, some Dutch, Spanish and Italian orders have been received recently.
 Zinc smelters are working up the ex- isting stocks of ore, but further im- port of ores will be difficult. The glass industry is idle
 Herr Bornhardt says the main lines of the railways are being operated by the German military, but that other lines have resumed traffic under Belgian man agement. Freight and passenger traffic Is increasing, the canals are again oper ating and general business confidence is returning, according to Herr Bornhardt.

AUSTRIA WILL MAKE
 CONCESSION, REPORT

London. March 12-Authoritative re, ports reaching The Hague from Berlin seem to indicate that Germany. with a view to securing Italy's neutrality, has induced Austria, despite vigorous opposi- ton by Emperor Francis Joseph. to agree to make territorial concessions to Italy in the event that Germany and Aus tria are victorious in the war.
 It is understood, however, that al- though Italy has taken this tentative offer under consideration, no definite agreement has yet been reached. Italy's decision is awaited with anxious concern in all circles here.

Will They Sell?

This expert and some others are regard ed as having left out of their considera- tions one important fact. In France and in Holland, which is now a neutral na- tion, American securities in vast amounts are held. But the greater part of these securities is SC held that it will be im- possible to sel. them until the life of the securities Is erded. Most of them have many years to run. In France and also in Holland it has been the custom for the banks or 'syndicates which have taken over American securities in large amounts to issue Upon these securities certificates Tn very small amount, sometimes as small as 50, reckoning in our money These cer- t.fcates are eagerly bought by the people who have small savings to invest. They rely upon the credit of the syndicate or of the institution which issues these cer- tificates. Word has recently come from France that many of the peasants who have invested their small savings in these certificates dc not collect the interest. They are ooLlcnt to permit tLe interest to accumulate. When they have got together as much as S5 or $l0 they buy another cer- tiflcate. This process of absorbing these American loans by the peasantry and middle classes is practiced in Holland.
 Therefore, probably the greater part of American securities held in France or in Holland Will not be ayaila5 5lc fer sale.
 
 one-hali of American securities pow held abroad is represented by these small cer- tifioates. That method does rot prevail in Great Britain, but there is yet to be disccIned strong tendency In Great Britain 10 part with American securities. Taere Is, of course, more or less selling by foreign holders of these securities, but these transactions for the most part represent individual investments.
 All of the statistical infornia' ion which has thus far been obtained appears fully tc justify the belief that the United States alone among the great nations will be foot free during the continuation of the war, although we shall be greatly oc- oupied in aiding the belligerents and neu- tral nations. Our own prestige and strength are not to be impaired. but are likely to be increased, although in all probabilities we shall be compelled to wait for a year or two before American oapita is disposed to make investment in very great undertakings sucn as the en- largement of railroad systems or of fn- dustrial organza tions or in the develop n.ant of cur natural resources

found necessary to sell these American securities in order to provide the nations across the sea now at war with a part of the funds needed to sustain their enor- nous debts.
 The inference. therefore, is that the United States will be called upon speed- fly to absorb these securities, especially in view Of the fact that American se- curities now possess the highest credit of any held by the belligeren. nations. Ii we absorb this great mass of securities the reasoning seems to be inevitable that the effect will be felt upon quotations at home for securities of all kinds. It is also assumed that the United States, both from self-interest and from friendly dis position, will go as far as possible in assisting the belligerent nations. For that reason it is felt that general, wide spread and very great business activity of tho kind which is reflected by the crea- tion of new wealth will not be possible. Of course, tho farmers of the United States create every year new wealth in enor- nous amounts. Some of the experts are olined to the opinion that the money value of tho new wealth in the crops which are to be harvested next summer and fall will be considerably in excess of $10.000, ,0o0 600. or about one-flfth of the estimated indebtedness of the belligerent nations at the close of this year, if the war continues that long,

TWO MORE SUBMARINES
LOST ny AUSTRIAS Ms

MILAN. August l5.-The Austrian
navy has lost two submarines in two
days-the C-l2 and the C-3. There
are. besides. good reasons to believe
that two other Austrian submarines
were damaged or sunk some time he
fore. Out of twelve submarines, Aus
tria now. has only eight left.
From Venice It is learned that the
U-12 was destroyed under peculiar cir
cunstances. 1t was due in great part
to the clever maneuver of an Italian
torpedo-bo which sighted the peri
scope in the middle of tho Adriatic.
The submarine maneuvered to get near
the torpedo boat, intending discharg-

WHAT WARNING NATIONS CLAIM
IN THEIR OFFICIAL STATEMENTS

SLAMS. as reported yesterday, they
made a stubborn stand. but a cross
ing OF the Narew was forced by our
troops late in the evening. The
army under General Won Scholtz
yesterday took 1000 prisoners. Won
Gallwitz's army took $3.50 prison
ors. including fourteen officers.
They also captured ten machine
guns. On all the fronts we gained
ground.
The army group under Prince
Leopold Of Bavaria made further ad-
vance against stubborn resistance
by the Russians. In sc course OF
the day, we broke through the Rus
Sian positions near and north of
Losisce. Midway between Losisce
and Miedzryzec the Russians are
retreatinS.
The troops of General Won
Woyrsch alone up to the 14th of
August took 1000 prisoners. includ-

May SPLIT IN POLAND
Germany and Austria Apparently Al
rendy ut LoEgerheads.

THE HAGUE. August 1s-Are Ger
many and Austria at loggerheads over
the Polish question?
The Franlifurter ZcitunE recently
stated that the two central nations had
disagreed over the subject, Berlin de-
string to sec n German prince on the
Polish throne. while Vienna favored an
Austrian archduke for the position.
This well-inforIned journal now speaks
out more sharply than ever on the
subject. telling the Poles bluntly that
their desires must be subservient to
those of Germany.
Austrian Poles already have taken
the initiative, comments the Zeltung
and presumably Austria was aware Of
the steps they intended 10 take. The
public must remember wo have only
heard from the Austrian Poles, and st
is TO be feared that they do not speak
for all the Poles. Thus the action of
the Austrian Poles threatens compli-
cations.
Germany and Austria went to war
TO protect their own frontiers. The
desires OF the Poles. therefore, cannot
be the only standard By which the
future of that country will be decided
Germany and Austria will have the
final word Independence Of Poland
Will not be settled By the dictat.on OF
one side. Moreover, II must be re-
membered that IL was not the Poles
who freed themselves: they were freed
by Germany and Austria. who must put
their interests first"
