New York, Sept, 49, The activity
and strength in the market today-un-
usual for summer Saturday-had
three causes. Perhaps the most im'
portant was the increasingly good effect
on financial sentiment, Of prospects that
the loan would be successfully COM
pleted.
Another cause was tho belief that
Berlin is about to concede all American
demands. There are abundant indiea-
tions that Germany Is disposed to give
wny. Even the voice Of the obedient
German press Is now raised to applaud
settlement with Washington.
The influence Of the general motors
declaration Of 80 per cent dividend
from war contracts, was the third con-
alteration; this was responsible for par
iicularly sharp advances in "war

NEW COUNCIL
 HOLDS CAUCUS Men Who Are To Hold Appointive Pc. sitions Are SIated-Nieht Po-
 Iiceman Retained.

The newly elected members of the city council held a caucus last Sat urday night and have mapped out the organization for the coming year The council was found to be divided four to three. The minority found themselves without influence and were powerless to change the slate as adopted by the majority, consist ing of Messrs. Boyle, King, Hockey and Won Gunther, who have made the following tentative slate:
 For chief of police, w. Scott, the present incumbent, at $15O per month
 For nightwatchman, John Hockey brother of Councilman Ross Hockey at $125 per month, who succeeds Ray Larson, who has held the position for four years.
 For fire engineer, L. Graham, the present incumbent, at $150 per month.
 John Frame is slated for city mag istrate and clerk of the council at a salary of $35 a month.
 Gene Ames for treasurer at $35 per month, although one report has it that the treasurer's work will be add ed to that of the fire engineer.
 The city attorneyship is to be held open awaiting the return of O P. Hubbard.
 No health officer is to be appointed.
 The appointment of Frame will cause some dissatisfaction among the majority party, as William Meals had expected the appointment, having been promised support by the Frame councilmen."
 The promises of economy made by the majority members of the council prior to the election are not to be carried out as far as the present plans indicate, as the dropping of the health officer saves but $500 per an- mum, and the cut in wages of the clerk and treasurer is only s15 a month for each position.
 It had been expected that the DO. sition of night chief of police would be dropped and that only one police man be employed, as was the case during the days when Frank Hoffman carried the baton, but the necessity for political plums made necessary the retention of the office.
 The council will meet tonight at the city hall and the old council will go out and the new one be organized.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The az ents of the governments of France and England have placed orders with American manufacturers for $10,000,. 900 worth of shrapnel. The order Is a duplicate of that placed by the Rus sian government. As all three na- tions have big plants manufacturing shrapnel in their respective countries the order, and especially its size, caused surprise and indicates that the Allies are preparing for a destruct' i've artillery campaign with the big guns to break down the enemies line instead of the desperate infantry charges. At least that is the expla- nation given by military experts.

A DOCTORS HOBBY.
There Was a Queer Twist to the End
of PEBBLES Experiments.

more was queer TWIST TO the Emo
of PEBBLES Experiments.
There was British physician named
Robert PEBBLES who created a sensa-
ton In London and Edinburgh several
years ago by his insistent coaxing Of
athletes for the privilege of studying
their bodies after death.
PEBBLES had been experimenting with
the muscles and had arrived ut what
his associates termed q fantastic no
ton that some sort Of operation could
be performed on the leg of the human
runner so that his speed could be In
creased. Leapers and high jumpers
were his hobby, and in the course Of
five years 1t was estimated that he had
examined the leg muscles Of nearly a
thousand men, making comparisons
with the running and leaping muscles
of the frog, the deer. the greyhound
and other animals.
PEBBLES was q man of means, and
after he had succeeded In inducing
half dozen athletes of reputation to
will him their legs" the attention Of
surgeons was attracted. They took
the matter under consideration at one
of their quarterly meetings and warned
PEBBLES they would have him commit
ted to a sanitarium II he continued his
strange pursuit. PEBBLES defied them,
and they had commission appointed.
While his sanity was being tested Pee
bles died. In his will he bequeathed
his brain to the commission. Elk
