SUEz CANAL WILL BE
STRONGLY FORTIFIED

CAIRO, Egypt G3y mail TO New
York;, Nov 24.-Working under di-
rect orders from Lord Kitchener, the
English secretary of state for war,
! 900 British troops, mostly cOlonials,
are erecting fortifications along the
SueZ canal all the way from Port
Said to the northern end of the Gulf
of Suez.
The elaborate nature of the works
indicated a strong belief on the part
of the English war secretary that
Turco-German forces are going TO
make a tremendous effort to drive
into Egypt and gain control of the
canal.
These works are not being built
at the very edge of the waterway,
but miles to the east. The most eX-
tensive are those across the caravan
routes which strike the canal at
Toussum and at Kantara. The lat
ter is the highway leading from
Syria by way OF Katie and is the
more important of tn, two. From
Kantara to Serapeum the eastern
side of the canal is thanked by a
range of barren hills and these have
been fortified and supplied with ar
tillery.

Question of Finances to
Be Taken Up By Congress

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-Face to
face with an estimated annual def
cit OF not less than S5O.OOO,OCO and
with a billion dollar program for
national defense awaiting approval
the administration must decide
shortly what action congress shall
take TO refill the national purse.
Four methods today apparently
are meeting with favor-a tax on
war profits IL ii legally can be
levied: an inheritance tax: increase
of the income tax 10 affect incomes
exceeding $4,000; renewal and in
creasing the scope of the present
war revenue taxes.
Singularly enough. while the gov
eminent wrestles with its empty
treasury problem. the tide of pros
perity now increasing throughout
the country is causing bankers
alarm that it may result in monetary
disturbances. Three members of the
federal reserve board. and Asst.
Sec'y Of the Treasury William p.
Malburn within the last few days
have uttered warnings Of the danger
Of imitation if not accompanied by

RISE IN Prices
Wall Street Men Believe Pres
emf Resting Spell is Only
Temporary.

NEW YORK. Nov. 24.-The stock
market displayed a strong tone
wednesday notwithstanding the
absence of many operators from the
street. Transactions. although not
heavy. were IN excess of what might
be expected for a pre-holiday ses-
sion. Conservative brokers said that
the Improvement suggested that the
apprehension existing relative TO
Hduidation Of the war stocks is grad
uaily being dissipated. This was also
illustrated by the betterment Of the
war shares. Opening prices showed
slight improvement. war stocks be-
ing in demand from the outset. oil
stocks continued favorites. with

in the standard shares were not

The reason for the recent heavi-
ness OF Baldwin Locomotive came to
the surface today when the direc-
tors met and declared the regular
DIVIDEND on the preferred stock. but
failed TO take any action on the
common. That the directors would
not consider payments on the COM
mon has been known in the street
for nearly week and the decline of
nine points 10 III last week reflected
selling by well-informed interests.
Notwithstanding the lack of trend
shown by the tape there are many in
the street who have the temerity
sufficient TO state that they expect
another upward swing in prices fol-
lowing the conclusion of the present
resting spell These people point out
that the recent heavy speculation
was based on the predictions OF large
earnings. They say that he next
speculative move will be based on
the capitalization of these hopes by
the publication of large earnings
This is already occurring with re-
gard 10 the railways.
Announcement Of a gross increase
by Southern Pacific Of S2.12S.317 for
October was received with favor
but the stock failed to reflect the
effect on sentiment. Perhaps the
tendency OF this issue TO bob up and
down under 1O3 furnished evidence
Of continued marketing of Southern
Pacific holdings by the Pennsylvania.

increasing in the speculative issues.

bank taxes because of the war, hard
times and any other old thing they
could think of that might answer as
as excuse.
And the Board of Review reduced
their taxes Is per cent-OF COURSE
It's awful hard to refuse to give
aims to begging banker.
Now the State street stores are ali
ragged and hungry - so hungry in
fact that they don't know where they
are going to sleep next year. Hard
times have hit them, too. People are
not lOOsening up as. usual. The vim
min folks are not falling for all the
bargains.
So the poor merchant princes are
moaning and begging for a reduction
in real estate values, so they wont
have to pay so much taxes.
And you bet they are not pikers.
There isn't a whole lot of money in
standing on a street corner holding
out a lineup for dimes, nickels and
pennies - nor in grinding an organ
and having a monkey hold the tin
cup. They want their aims in one
big COB. Hence the plea to the gen
tlemanIy and accommodating Board of
Review.
And when business picks up, pros
perity is again on the job and the
dough is rolling in to beat-the band.
