Market Was Quiet and
Prices Generally Lower

New York, Dec 4.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Wall Street failed to display today
its traditional perturbation over the re-
convening of congress, partly because
it feels that President Wilson will
recommend in his message a course Of
procedure that will soften the effects
of the operation of the Adamson law,
and partly because it had numerous
other things to engage its attention.
There was neither great strength nor
pronounced weakness in the stock
market. After the first buying orders
which had accumulated over the week
end had been disposed of, prices eased
off and thereafter the general level
swayed backward and forward, punct-
uated now and then by some strong and
some weak spots.
The stock market was excitable and
uncertain in the late trading, following
the sensational advance in call money
rates and subsequent substantial re-
action from Is per cent to l per cent.
Prices ruled a point or more below the
last previous closing, jand in many
cases several points below the high
levels attained earlier in the day.
Steel reacted nearly to l24, but rallied
a point or so.

Ford and Street Car
Clash on State Street

A crash that was heard for blocks
startled people in the vicinity of state
and High streets Saturday night about
10 'clock when Ford automobile col
lided with street car on the east side
of the intersection. \ crowd collected
as fast as people could run but in few
minutes it was discovered there was no
one hurt or much damage done to the
car or machine. The street ear had its
fender bent over TO one side and the
left fender of the Ford was somewhat
bent. The Ford car was proceeding
north on High street and made a wide
turn into State street to 60 east After
taking stock of the damage both the
street car and the auto proceeded on
their way. The Ford was from Inde-
pendence.

TODAY'S WAR MOVES

In the Rumanian fighting, German
forces are apparently approaching closer
to Bucharest. Copenhagen claimed to
have report from Berlin that Ger
man artillery had on Sunday begun
bombardment of the city, from an elev-
en- mile range. Carl w. Alderman,
United Press staff correspondent with
the German army reported the Ger
mans were within less than ten miles
of the city on Friday. Petrograd ad-
mitted retirement by the defenders.
In the Dobrudja sector the Russian
offensive continues.
In the Carpathians, Petrograd report
ed capture of height south of the
Jablonitza Pass.
On the Macedonian front, Berlin
claimed "easy repulse" of allied at.
taeks. Paris claimed capture of hill
north of Grunista.
Operations on the west front were
unimportant.
Athens was calm today following
agreement by King Constantine to sur
render eight batteries of field artillery
to the allies.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-12-04

for handling of the problems of the war
was the suggestion first advanced by
those known to be in sympathy with
David Lloyd-George, who apparently
precipitated the cabinet crisis.
The intense popular interest in the
cabinet situation was evidenced when
parliament met today. Government Of
ficials from the war office aud all the
parliament buildings packed the floor
and the galleries.
The only members of the cabinet, how
ever, who were present when the session
was called to order were Austen Cham
berlain, secretary for India, and Lord
Robert Cecil, minister of blockade.
Commons was later declared adjourn
ed until Thursday without vote on
the adjournment. Irish members vainly
protested this course.
David Lloyd-George, minister of war,
who is regarded as the man behind the
present cabinet crisis, did not put in an
appearance i'll commons during the en-
tire session today. His absence was re.
garded as indicative that he will not
reappear until definite solution of the
matter is evolved and announced
Asquith as Slave.
Whether the cabinet crisis has been
definitely pasesd was still uncertain
today-but there were indications that
Premier Asquith was maintaining his
reputation as one of the greatest politi-
cal "plaeaters" in British history.
The best information today was that
David Lloyd-George, minister of war,
did not resign his place, as rumored
Sunday-nor did he actually threaten
to step down. But he did firmly ex-
press his belief in the absolute neces-
sity of a small, compact council with
full authority to conduct the war. Ap-
parently Asquith acceded in this be.
lief.
1t was circumstantially reported to.
day that the unionist cabinet members
had advised the premier to resign, init
mating if he did not take this step the
whole unionist representation in the
cabinet-10 of the % members-would.
The nature of Asquith S reply was not
revealed, but ii is understood the un.
ionists have now decided to remain.
Sir Edward Carson, to whom reports
attribute place on the new "war coun-
ell" of four or five members, supposed
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-12-04

to be in the making, said today he had
not been offered a place so far, but in
dictated he would accept such an offer.
The man who will not serve now in
whatever way he can is traitor, he
declared.
Asquith was supposed to be scheduled
for a conference with King George to-
day and was expected later in commons
to make formal statement revealing
the situation. All the specific infor-
nation London had on which to base
its reports was the formal statement of
yesterday that the prime minister,
"with view to the most effective
prosecution of the war. had decided to
advise his majesty, the king, to consent
to the reconstruction of the govern
ment.o

Just considering IT,

London, Dec. 4.-Great Britain and
her allies are considering what immedi-
ate steps are to be taken in connection
with the Greek situation, Lord Robert
Cecil announced in commons this aft
ernoon. He characterized the situation
there as extremely grave, following
the most treacherous and unprovoked
attack on the allies Friday
Responsibility for this" he added,
"rests upon the king and the Greek
government
Early in today's session of the house
of commons, when the cabinet crisis
was uppermost in the minds of ques-
TONERS of the government IS representa-
tivcs, Lord Cecil was asked whether
he could assure the house, no matter
what decision was arrived at on the
cabinet, that the present Greek dynasty
would be continued. The minister of
blockade made no immediate reply.
Later he said Britain and her allies are
considering steps in the situation.
