ENGLAND APPROVES
BILL TO BUY STOCKS
Some Express Fear That Bill

LONDON. Dec. 4-General approval
has been given the bill prepared by
Reginald Mckenna, chancellor OF the
excheouer. to empower the government
to mobilize American and Canadian Sc
curities by buying or borrowing them.
The bill has passed its second reading
in the house of commons The securities
will be used as collateral for loans, but
in event OF necessity may be disposed
of to meet Great Britain's libilities in
the United states.
Some critics profess doubt whether
the project will affect exchange, and
others feared it might lead to New
York becoming the financial center of
the world at London's cost.
Mr.. McKenna declares II securities

expresses the hope this would be suffi-
cient ito meet our liabilities and to
maintain exchange in the United States
for the period of the war"
In purchasing securities outright, the
government will pay for them in five
year per cent exchequer bonds. Mr..
Mckenna says the government is will
ing to buy such American dollar securi-
ties as are suitable at the middle
American price of the day without
brokerage or commission.
In the case of unquoted or unlisted
securities or of any whose current quo
tation might not be regarded as rep
resentative OF the true value, the chan
cellor explains the price will be fixed
by agreement with the person offering
them. The New York dollar price will
be reckoned in sterling on the basis
of the exchange rate OF the day.
Mr. McKenna declares the usual trade
balance in favor of Great Britain mas

made upon America for goods forg Eng

NEW YORK. Dec. IA dry" New
Year Eve. compa -atively speaking. has
been proposed to Mayor Mitchell by the
Anti-Saloon League, which wants the
celebration to stop almost with the Eve
itself. that is. one hour after midnight.
A letter sent to the mayor yesterday

the board Of directors of the organiza-
ton formally requests that no all night
licenses for the sale of liquor be granted
for New Year Eve this year. The letter
reads in part
Even the most ardent wet must

as is good FOR any person within the
hours when it's sale is regularly legal
lied under the general laws.
The reports of the orgies of dissi-

capacity of the revelers, brings to New

may attract a certain class, repels

The pictures were made under the

They begin with the review Of the
French troops behind the trenches in
October last at the time when King
George OF England was injured. From
the review they go to the actual bat
tleflelds, and are so arranged as to
show how the French army in the
trenches prepares for an attack and
makes an attack. Many scenes were
shown relating to the big drive in the
Champagne distrist last September.
They were made unusually interesting
by the comments of Baron de Malaus-
