Developments in Russia Helpful.
Prices Steady

LONDON, Sept. 17.-Premier Kerensky's
proclamation declaring Russia Republic
and the putting down OF the rebellion helped
the undertone of the stock exchange mar
kets today. Trading, however remained
quiet but prices generally were steady. The
accumulation of orders over the weekend
was smalS
The feeling in regard to Russian securi-
ties was reserved. French 5s were stronger
The gilt-edged section wassdull and weaker
in spots.
Americans lacked steadiness 'and were
listless and did not change much. Home
rails were narrow, but hard.
Unloading by speculative investors caused
a fresh slump In Argentine rails They
were Influenced by an outlook for poor earn
ings, owing to the prohibition of increased
rates.
Industrials were nervous and unsettled on
predictions of an extension of the national
service scheme. Rubbers and oils were
mixed. Mines were quiet

China has been credited with antici-
pating not a few modern Inventions but
her claim to have discovered the art of

Baltimore Sum-

The German submarines have been
taking heavy toll in the last two or
three days; and if they can keep up
the recent percentage of destruction
the British might have reason for
apprehension. But that the British
Admiralty is not alarmed is signi-
ficant of consciousness Of reserve
power and of the ability to deal with
the attack. 1t was expected and it
has been prepared for; and while we
get no exact details Of the protec-
tive and aggressive measures that
have been devised, except the gen
eral light given by Lord Curzon, it
is only reasonable to assume that
this contest on the sea will not be
cne-sided.
We hear of the British and neu-
trail ships sunk, but we hear nothing
Of submarine losses. This policy OF
Silence on the part of the British

A dispatch from Richmond shows
that numbers Of Germantown citl--

papers for the purpose OF casting
their lot with the United States
should war between this country and
Germany result from the recent
breaking off of relations with the
Fatherland.

now, in all probability some OF THESE
ocean guerillas have already been
disposed of.
The British Admiralty proposes
one decisive test of its ability 70
crush or drive away these assaliants'
.The daily reports of the decrease IN
sinkings," it says, "will be the best
evidence of our success" While the
submarine fleet is at its strongest
and freshest it will make its hlghes'
score. But if after two or three weeks
2 material decrease in sinkings" IS
noted, there will be ground Tor the
belief that the British Admiralty mas
dore effective work and that this SUP
marine blockade has gone to JOIN
he former abortive attempt.
