Brokers surged around the posts Of ;he popular speculative stOcas, and Cp- tion offers were. so wide apart that sales of one or two points difference occurred simultaneously.
 The tickers showed losses ranging from one to seven points The brokers offices were thronged with nervous customers. many of whom had to see their accounts sold out for lack of margin. The private wires were chok- d with selling orders, from all parts of the country, particularly during the afternoon. The tickers soon fell far behind in recording the values and no )ne knew at any given moment what the market actually was on the floor of the exchange.

ALLIES REPLIES ID GERMANY WILL
 NOT BE IDENTICAL
Bx Review Leased WireI

LONDON, Dec 2I-While the re plies Of the various allied govern ments to Germany will De made simul taneously and probably before Christ mas, as indicated last night. il is felt that these replies will not be textual- ly identical and will not take the form of a joint reply. The reason for this is that while the entente allies are agreed on the general principles, each came into the war under different con ditions.
 For example. the defense of small nationalities was one of the main causes bringing England into the war, in defense of Belgium, whereas Bel gium and Serbia did not enter for that reason, but because their terri tory was invaded. Similar differences exist in tte conditions as regards France, Runlnia and other countries, so that Thii II the replies will agree on the essential particulars of repara- ton and security they will not be iden- ttical

N. Y. GUARD GETS COURT MARTIALED
 FOR CRITICISMS
Misrepresented Promise Made Him By Recruiting Officers, and Is Sentenced to Six Months at Hard Labor.

NEW YORK, Dec 21.-Frank Cor ey, private in the First Aero Com pany, New York national guard, has been found guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline" by a general court mar tial at Fort Totten because of a news paper interview given by him, it was learned toni,lt He was sentenced ito be confined at hard labor at such as the reviewing authority may direct for six months and to forfeit two thirds of his monthly pay for three months
 This sentence was approved at the headquarters of the department of tho east at Governors Island but remitted The specifications upon which he was found guilty were in effect that he made statements conveying censure on his superiors in the military ser vice These statements were that he and others had been induced to join the national guard upon the rep resentations that they would be taught to fly and sent to the Mexican border.

between the two groups.
 With the entente. apart from lit tie trouble over Count TarnOwski. it was pointed out there had been no diplomatic correspondence published for many months. This country owes replies on both the blacklist and trade matters, but these have largely been settled out of court.
 Towards the central powers, how ever, and particularly in the past month, a decided feeling of tension has been evident in the sending of about a dozen inquiries on submar- inc sinkings, followed by publication of the details and also by the cores pondence on the Belgian deportations.
 It became evident that it is on the sea that this country may be caught between conflicting belligerent inter- ests.

SCHWAB WOULD PASS AMERICAN VESSELS
 THRU CANAL FREE
It Will Help American Ships, With 40 Percent Higher Paid Crew, Compete With Foreign After War.
OBy Review Leased W1re)

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.- American ships should be permitted to pass through the Panama Canal at lower tolls than foreign vessels. declared Chas. M. Schwab, presidnt of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, in an address at a dinner given in his hon. or by the Lotus Club tonight. The steel manufacturer suggested this method to influence American ship owners against transferring their yes sels to foreign registry after the war and to offset the disadvantages suf- fered by the Americans in paying ap- proXimately 40 percent more wages than owners of British and Norwegian ships.
 "Of course. so long as the war lasts and the United States remains neu- tral. nothing will prevent a tremen- dous increase in the American mer- chant marine said Mir Schwab. The real point however. is that if present duties, wages and other restrictions on vessels flying the American flag prevail after the war, American own CTS will again transfer their vessels to foreign registry. When the wages item alone. under American registry, costs under ordinary conditions in the neighborhood of 40 percent more than British or Norwegian owned vessels, it is not difficult to see the outcome of the situation.
 ITO meet this, as one step in ad- vance, I suggest that ships flying the American flag will be permitted to pass through the Panama Canal at lower tolls than foreign ships will The Panama Canal is destined to play a larger and larger part in American commerce and such plan would as- sist American ships to maintain the American standard of wages and thus be far better able to take care of themselves in world competition. We built the Panama Canal, why not let American trade benefit by it.
 MT. Schwab predicted that after the war there would be some recession in steel prices.

BRITISH KINGDOM
 BACKS LLOYD GEORGE
 IN TALK ON PEACE
tBy Review Leased .Wire)

LONDON. Dec. ZI-Sir John A. Si- mon, the former secretary of state for home affairs in the House of Com mons today, on behalf of himself and his followers. endorsed Premier Lloyd Georges speech on peace.
 Tt may be desirable, in view of past events" he said, ito make quite plain in few sentences how universal and widespread is the acceptance in all sections of opinion in all parts of the country of the premier's declaration in reply to the German message. The premier told us plainly that in no proper sense of the word was the communication received from Germa- ny a peace proposal at all.
 If indeed the message had con tained terms. even unacceptable or impossible terms, if would have re- ceived a clear and specific answer.
 If, in times like these, a belligerent comes forward with the profession of a desire for peace and presents prop tA t'itAos FFNis AtiAiac ID Nb Lf |dAltu from any point of view by testing the sincerity of bis declaration. But the only declaration received from Ger many was a mere paraphrase of von Bethmann-Hollweg's speech in the Reichstag, without even an outline of the terms it is obvious that the chan cellor was then addressing to the Ger man people. A communication of that sort is not a peace proposal at all.
 ''I believe that nobody in this coun- try could seriously expect any other reply than that the premier has given.
 ''The premier has spoken the views and mind of the whole nation. We are all agreed that. first, it would have been an objectionable crime for any government 10 allow war to con tiuUe for single unnecessary hour. and secondly, il would be the deepest treachery to fslter in securing by force ol arms, if need be, or by more reasonable methods when the oppor. tunity comes. those objects-esscn- iially detininitivc and uuaggrcssi,e- for which we entered thc war"

OMAHA, Dec. 21.-Navajo and MOgi Indians under their tribal chiefs, horse wranglers, cowboys. ranchers and plainsmen in a force two hundred strong campaigned for ten days in Coconino county. Arizona, on the trail Of wild horses which the government in a suit for use Of the malls to de fraud, alleges were sold by the United States Livestock company and the Omaha Land and Investment company to a number Of persons, but which in reality did not exist.
 Clyde A. Smith, brother of J. Sidney Smith, indicted head of the United States Livestock company, told of what he called the great Ioundup."
 l. was first necessary to feed the Indians and give them tobacco before they would consent to work, he said. A herd Of 1900 to 1000 horses was corraled and another large herd would have been captured but one of the commanders of the left wing Of the army got lost, climbed to the top of a hill and yelled for held. His yells frightened a large herd. grazing near by and they ran away"
 When the biz herd had been gath cred in, Smith continued, a terrific storm came up, such a storm as he had never seen, and swept the horses away across the plains and they were lost with only twenty three mustangs secured. Owing to the laughter in the court room during Smiths recital Judge Woodrough ordered a recess un- ril tomorrow morning.

 SUSPECTED BY U, s.
lBr Review Leased Mirel

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-That there are grounds for the suspicion that the recent increase in price of coal was the result Of an artificial and illegal continuation" was the statement made here today by George w. Ander- son, federal district attorney at Bos- ton, who is in charge of the govern menfs national food and fuel inquiry.
 Mir. Anderson came here to confer with Special Assistant United States Attorney General Frank M Swacker, in charge of the federal grand jury investigation in this city, after having held similar conferences with the fed eral and local authorities in Wash ington. Philadelphia. Cleveland and Chicago.
 When there are indications that the movement of coal has been check ed not only on railroads but at termi- nals." Mr. Anderson said. there is reason to suspect that such action probably is the result of an artificial and illegal combination designed to reap extortionate profits through a speculative market.
 When you find coal brokers and coal dealers are consigning coal cars over and over again so as to delay and thereby create a panic you find a prima facie case"
 Boston, Mir. Anderson added turn ing to the food situation, ''is the only city at present suffering. It even has a shortage of it's favorite foodstuff- beans-which are now selling at 'sev- en dollars a bushel"
