STOCK MARKET
LACKS INTEREST
Uncertainty Regarding War
Program Is Re-
nected

NEW YORK. May 12 The New
York Evening sun financial review
today, says
TToday's short session OF the
stock market was devoid of more
than the most nominal interest.
Trading was quiet in the extreme
and the trend OF prices was down
ward altho within narrow limits.
II was clear that only the profcs-
sional operators were participating
in such trading. as there was a de.
sire TO clear up accounts FOR the
week end
There is still much 20 be clari-
fed in the capital before confidence
in securities circles can be fully re
stored, but that the process IS IN
der way can scarcely De doubted.
There is some anxiety that too
much taxation may be undertaken
in the first year OF the war but
there is still ample opportunity for
some Of the Objectionable features
Of the revenue bill 10 be eliminated
before 10 IL placed on the statute
books
There was no initiative whatever
in The market
Prices were unstable but move
ments were narrow save for few
strong and weak spots United
states Steel and the other stand
ard industrisls ruled fractionally
lower. altho In the late trading
prices displayed frmer trend all
along tho line The motor and trac-
tion stocks were under pressure. !"

COMMISSIONS IN
TWO CAPITALS TO
WORK TOGETHER
Allied War Councils Plan
ned in London and Wash

TO CONSERVE EVERY
SHIP FOR FREIGHT
Would Check Competitive
i Buying and Railroad
lCongestion.
fBy Associated Press.l

Washington, May THE appoint
ment of allied war commissions, one
in London and one here, appeared to-
day to be one OF the first steps to be
taken in order to coordinate the re-
sources of the United States and the
allies.
The commission in London would
then charge itself with sending such
supplies either by direct purchase or
through present agencies.
While the inroad Of the submarine
menace continues 1t is absolutely es-
sential to conserve every ship for
needed freight and the only way this
can be done is to have the allies sub
NIT their needs to a central body in
London which shall have power to give
priority to the most pressing.
At the same time the commission
in this country knowing exactly how
much was wanted, would buy it judi
ciously and keep the railroad lines
open to the seaboard. So far the allies
have confused their own situation to
some extent in this country, by COM
petitive buying and congesting the
railroad and terminals when it was
absolutely unnecessary.
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, and the
British labor leaders who have just
arrived here, called on Mr.. Balfour to-
day.

Committee.

L. B. Hanna, former governor of
North Dakota, director of the Min
neapolis regional reserve bank as the
representative of North Dakota, is in
charge Of the sale of liberty loan"
bonds in North Dakota, under appoint
ment from the reserve bank.
Mr.. Hanna is today in Minneapolis
conferring with other officials of the
bank in regard to handling the propo-
sition, the purpose of today's meeting
of the board Of directors being
to arrange in greater detail the work
of perfecting the organization, that
opportunity to subscribe for the forth
coming issue may be put before every
person in the entire ninth reserve dis
trict, which includes North Dakota.
Mr.. Hanna on Saturday evening adj
yised the central committee of the dis
trict that he had already started or
ganization work in North Dakota. ex-
pecting to use the machinery Of the
North Dakota committee on farm crop
increase, ofwhich Wesley G. Mcdowell,
Marion, is chairman, and which was
organized several weeks ago at the
conference of bankers held in Fargo.
No official apportionment has been
made for the northwest state, al
though, if the apportionment were
made on per capita basis the ninth
districts share would be .$S8,000,000.
Governor, Theodore Void and Re-
serve Agent John III. Rich Saturday
night completed plans for campaign
to reach Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Northern
Michigan and a portion OF Wisconsin,
of which the ninth district is COM
posed. Mr.. Rich is chairman of what
will be known as the Central Liberty
Loan committee. Arthur r. Rogers of
the Rogers Lumber company will
work with Mr.. Rich, with Mr. Void
and Curtis l.. Mosner, assistant to the
reserve agent as associates on the
committee. sAS5
To organize district 1900 miles in
extent from. east to west. which has
1916 banks and thousands of cities
or towns that must be provided with
the machinery for taking subscrip-
tions, is the giant task to which the
central committee has applied itself.
State Directors to Act.
AS a first move toward organization,
the reserve bank appointed directors
of the bank to exercise authority OF
the treasury department and form
state organizations. These men are:
L. B. Hanna, Fargo, for North Da-
]. c. Bassett. Aberdeen. for South
Frank P. Hixon. La Crosse, Tor Wis
John John w Black, Hbughton. for north

These state organizers are to CO.
operate with Directors T.. w. Decker,
and #. r.. Bigelow and w.
III. Lightner, ST. Paul.
There win be no question Of
