FINANCE

NEW YORK Aug. 5.-Reactionary
tendencies in the stock market this
week we're partly due TO the very ex-
cess Of the feverish advance and part
ly to unfavorable developments A
shock was administered by the inter
state commerce commissions cut in
anthracite rates and the orders as to
traffic that accompanied Il. The com
missions earlier decision on western
rates had disappointed speculative
hopes In the extent OF the advances
allowed
The effect was aggravated by the
emphasis which had been laid In the
growing assurances that governmental
exactiOns on business were to be re-
Taxed. Organized market. operations
shifted into railroad stocks In an eff
fort TO correct the discrepancy in the
undue prominence OF minor indus
trials and equipment benefited by war
orders In which there was proht TAX
ing throughout the week.
Receipt OF $4,000. 900 gold from
London under warship convoy and in
armored express cars was spectacular
proof OF the urgency with which war
supplies are bought. But its failure
TO prevent the sinking OF London and
Paris exchange rates to unheard low
levels gave warning Of the increasing
difficulties OF financing these pur-
chases.
Further injection Of gold into the
already plethoric bank reserves was
noted In the huge SURPRISES reported
from all leading home centers I'm
less credits are provided for paying
war bills maturing in this country. II
Is feared that increasing difficulty will
be found In placing additional orders.
The brilliant crop promise OF the
government report; United States
Steeis increase In untitled orders
rising prices for pig iron; wage ad-
Vances and decreased idle freight cars
were sustaining factors

RUSSIA WANTS PEOPLES
NEWSPAPER FOR IN
FORMATION
(By Associated press.)

PETROGRAD, Aug. 24.-"So intense
is the interest i'm the war among the
Russian peasants" says writer in
the Novoe vremya, that every train
stopping at a wayside station is be-
sieged by peasants of both sexes and
all ages stretching their hands to the
passengers and crying Give us
paper
Before the war the Russian peas
ant looked upon newspaper as ma
terial for rolling up a cigarette. Now
he reads it from beginning to end.
Every bit of an old newspaper is re-
ceived as a crust of bread by starv-
ing beggar."
This prompts the writer to urge the
establishment of a great Peoples
Newspaper" to be run by the state, not
only as a newspaper for the masses
but also as means of popular educa
ton.
Russia" he says, has never de-
veloped Systematically. All her pro-
gress has been sudden and by huge
strides. Peter the Great started re-
forming his mobiles not by trimming
their patriarchicial boards, but by
shaving them off all at once.
"The Russian people stopped drink
ing not gradually as a result of sys
tematic temperance movement, but as
q result of drastic Government meas
ure. Why should not great State
newspaper for the epople, circulated
by the million, educate our people in
the shortest time, instead of a slow
process of elementary school educa
tion?"

MONEY AWAIT rs
SOME CLAIMANT
NEAR AMERICAS
HEIRS OF r. j. AND j. III. HILL ARE

If the heirs of r. j. or j. H. Hill,
former residents of Americas, are still
living. there is a snug sum of money
in the treasury at Washington belong
ing to them, and which Uncle Sam
would be glad to turn over to them.
Mayor l.. G. Council received today
the following letter, which is self ex-
planatory:
Mayor of Americas, Georgia.
Dear Sir: Messrs r. j. and j. H
Hill were contractors for carrying U
s. mails at the time the Civil War be-
gan in 1861, and the records show
there is at least st49.90 due them or
their CONTRACT.
Will you kindly give me their adj
dress, if living; Il not, give name anc
address of their administrator or any
of their heirs so that collection may
be made.
Such favor will be appreciated b!
me, and doubtless by their heirs, as
am confident | can now make collec
ton of the sum due their estate. Yours

VICE PRESIDENT FAvORS
MILITARY TRAINING

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 24.-Vica
President Marshall declared himself
in favor of military training in the
schools in a statement here today:
Il do not believe in forced military
training" Mr.. Marshall said. ct seems
American, but boys and young men
could be trained in the high schools
and colleges without loss of time. In
case of war the United States would
need many officers to train volunteers.
| can think of no better place to train
officers than in the schools of our
country"

CONE SOUTH To FINb
MANY GOOD ROADS

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 25.-Two
road scouts, whose work in this vicin-
ity will be to thoroughly familiarize
autoists in all parts of the country
with the good roads in the South ar
rived in Savannah yesterday after an
automobile trip lasting five weeks, in
which time they covered some 4000
miles.
J. F. Mixer and James H. McGhee
are tn eroad scouts. They are con
nected with the Automobile Blue Book
Co, in the compiling of 1916 edition
of this automobilist's guide book They
are stopping at the DeSoto hotel.
According to Mr.. Mixer, this is the
first trip they have made to the
South in a long time. They bring with
them the information that he publica-
ton will issue special volume de
voted to the auto races in the South
ern states. Owing to the increase /
automobile travel through this section
of the South, and the fact ina more
definite information is required by the
motorists who come this way, the adj
dition of special part to the annual
publication dealing with the roads here
is recognized as an imperative need.
