peaceful adjustment of the Lusitania af-
fair. Wall Street had a resting spell to-
day A strong opening was followed by
a dull, irregular market that closed with
more net losses than net gains. Few
movements Of Importance were seen in
any section.
Beet Sugar, with rise of three points,
approached the high price OF the year.

market
Although the market was at times
rather heavy brokers reported many new
buying orders placed on a scale down
ward. They believe stocks will be alb
sorbed with increasing volume on any
decline. Possible delay in spring plant
ing on account of the wet weather is not
having much weight yet but important
banking interests are counting on It to
let them pick up a desirable line Of high
class stocks during the next two or
three weeks Some of these bankers have
liquldated their speculative lines entirely
and their wish is admittedly father to
the thought that stocks may decline.
From a technical point of view. con-
tinued irregularity in the market should
be expected because there is no new
good news in prospect at the moment.
In addition to this. there is the knowl-
edge that the allies are preparing for their
first great battle OF the war and this
naturally creates some nervousness. The
financial world is paying no attention
whatever to the renewal of peace talk.

Before an audience that filled the

By pictures, arguments, and narra-

DR.. Lowell proved that local intel

vegetable life is present there and
subject to seasonal changes, and that
differences in the surface of the planet
due to the plannings and works of a

tentiOn of German Factions
BY CARL AGKERMAN

BERLIN, Oct. 6.-Leaders of the
Won Tirpitz faction have advocated
a submarine blocade of certain British
harbors. They demand resumption of
modified submarine warfare, although
the government does not favor the
suggestion. and will probably reject
it.
The wrangle between the Won Trip
itz faction and the government news
papers is unabated. 1t is generally
conceded that the submarine adyo-
Gates cannot overthrow Chancellor
Hollwek. Despite the efforts of con-
servatives, wealthy industries, annexa-
tionista and agrarians who are en-
deavoring to oust Hollweg and seize
control of the government, the chan
cellor seems secure.
A dispatch reaching here today from
semi official news agency states that
the Russians have lost 100000 men
during the two years they have been
at war. 1t is said that million and
q quarter men have been lost during
this years offensive. The Danish
news sources furnished the basis for
these estimates.
