New York, Nov. 6-"Features loom ing large in this weeks report are the overwhelming activity of trade and the increased momentum attained in many indus,ries,' says Bradstreet' $ today. ...~'-@ .=-=--' '.'
 "Out of these grew overtime in fac tory, mill ahid shop, progressive i'm provement in industries almost who'll ly depend; nit on domestic wants; larger pay-rolls; sustained, if not in- creased. demand upon jobbers and wholesale dealers; more confident future buying, accompanied, how ever, by urgent calls for goods al- ready ordered, and al hough mild weather has prevented retail trade in the cities from running it's fuil course, much of the slack in this re- spect has been taken up by increased buying in vsriouus country districts.
 Apparently pessimism has been al- together unseated, activity in the stock market continues, money is plethoric, legitimate demand is being supplied at easy 3tes, collections are freer, railway traffic east and northwest is of record proportions, and railway buying orders indicates pressure to get orders booked.

 to COnstantinople.

London, NV. 6.-After a three days battle Nish, the Servian war capital, has been occupied by the first Bulgarian army.
 At the same time, the German gen eral staff reports the capture by Aus tro-German forces of Varvarin, to- gether with 5000 Servians. Varvarin is in the Moravo valley, 35 mIas northwest Of Nish.
 The Bulgar.ans control the Orien, railway from Nish to their frontier. The Austro-Germans hold it from Belgrade and Semandria to Varvarin This gap of 35 miles, therefore, alone need be closed to open railroad traf- fife from Berlin to Constantinople. It is confidently predicted in Berlin to- night that trains will be running to the Turkish capital within few days,
 The converging Austro- German and Bulgarian armies moved at faster pace today. Successes on nearly all fronts in Servia are reported by Ber- lin and Sofia, and as the invasion gains mom entum the Serbs appear to be becoming somewhat demoralized. Larg;r captures of prisoners and ma- terial are reported, today han On any previous days.
 Nstar Lukovo, the Bulgarians de- feated the Servians, and in the vicin- ity of Sokobanya they also won vic- tory, taking 800 prisoners and six cannon, according to advices from Berlin.
 The town of Kralievo, 35 miles southwest of Kraguyevatz, has been taken by the Germans, who are pur- suing the Servians to the east of that point.

Banks Unprecedented Legal Action.

In an unprecedented proceeding in the District
courts yesterday of the Oldest and best known
banking institutions in Washington seeks by legal
process to restrain member of the Cabinet, the
Secretary OF the Treasury, and one OF his subor-
dinatcs, the Comptroller of the Currency, from
unlawfully interfering with and injuring its bust
ness. The action naturally created sensation in
financial circles throughout the country, though
in Washington it has been secret that ever
since the present administration took control OF
the Treasury there has been friction of serious
nature between this bank that has won a reputa-
ton financial bulwark in the Capital and
the high officials of the department.
1t will, perhaps be conducive to the mainte-
nance of the city's commercial tranquility to have
the merits OF the controversy considered by the
courts. The bank, in presenting. its side, goes
deeply into its relations with the Treasury Off
Gals, giving the text OF great volume of CORE
spondcncc with the Comptroller and verbatim
reports OF various examinations OF its officials
While a banks transactions with its customers
ordinarily regarded as confid ntal the insti-
tuition, in its appeal to the law has not hesitated
10 reveal the details OF much OF its business with
which the general public is not usually familiar
or concerned. 1T is certain, therefore, that the
progress OF the case will be followed with the
most profound interest by the people of Wash
inGton, the friends and ow-townsmen of the
banks officials. Interest throughout the country
WI' hc scarcely less marked, because OF the prom
jnrucr OF the officials OF the administration and
tic rational reputation of the financial institution
inyo'l cd.
The merits of tho case are for the courts TO
investigate and determine, and hence not proper
subject for newspaper discussion at this time.
Washington will await the verdict without feel
ing that call has been made upon its gratitude
by the Comptroller's unnecessary official assur-
@ncc that the bank is Solvent

Count Won Bernstorff Should Go!

In issuing from the imperial German Embassy
at Washington formal statement crticising and
disappearing the neutrality policy Of the United
States Count Won Bernstorff has committed an
affront that must receive prompt attention at the
hands OF the responsible officials of this govern
ment.
German diplomacy has Numbered often and
so grievously that any ordinary bungling in deal
ing with the United States might be overlooked.
But this is no ordinary bungling. No other con-
struction can be placed upon Count Won Bern
storf's action than that it is, and is intended to
be, deliberate act of disrespect for and defiance
of the government of the United States
Count Won Bernstorff knows full we'll that as
Ambassador to the United States his communlca-
tons must be to the government OF the United
States--to the Secretary OF State or to the Pres-
dent. He is accredited to the government not to
the people. The plain purpose of the statement
he gave to the press yesterday is to mslead the
American people in the hope of destroying the
neutrality their government is SO faithfully pre-
serving He is interfering in the purely domestic
concerns of the United States just as grossly as
if he were to attempt to dictate to Congress what
legislation it should enact or to advise the Ameri-
can people whom they should elect as President
The time when German Ambassador can do
any of these things with IMMUNITY has not come
yet-never will comel
If Count Won Bernstorf is not promptly re-
called by his government, ne time should be lost
in giving him his passports and speeding him on
his way.-New York Herald.
