NEW YORK SUN REVIEW

New York. Sept. 2s.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today says:
There was little activity and less
interest in today's rambling session of
the stock market. News developments
of character to influence the course
of prices in either the industrial or
the railroad list were wanting Ne
glect caused general heaviness rather
than any semblance of liquidating mi
tiative. Recessions were broader
among the rails than among the in
dustrials.
In the former losses ranged from
one to more than three points. Such
issues as Union Pacific, Reading,
Delaware and Hudson, st. Paul, Can
adam Pacific, and New York Central
being the chief sufferers. The steel
stocks sold l to 2 points or SO down,
with occasional leisurely recovery. The
copper shares were consistently soft.
The tobacco issues sold off fraction
ally and the equipment and munitions
specialties also. There were some
frankly weak and strong spots. Wilson
and company and distillers securities

Amendment to Be Considered
By House Monday and
Expected to Pass.
HAS PASSED THE SENATE
Woman Suffrage Amendment
Also Reported Without
Recommendation.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Constitu-
tional amendments for nationwide
woman suffrage and prohibition were
placed before the house for action
Tuesday by the judiciary committee
which reported both resolutions.
The prohibition resolution already
has passed the senate, and requires
only passage in the house to submit
il to the states. The suffrage resolu-
ton, however, must pass the test in
both house and senate.
The judiciary committee amended
both resolutions to provide that un-
less the states ratify or reject them
within seven years from the date of
their adoption in congress they shall
die. The prohibition amendment
would become effective one year af-
ter the date of its ratification.
By unanimous consent the house
agreed to consider Monday the con
stitutional amendment for nationwide
prohibition.
AS passed by the senate the resolu-
ton provides that the necessary three
fourths of the states must act on the
amendment within six years from the
time of its passage in congress. The
judiciary committee extended the
time to seven years, anc would make
the amendment effective one year
from the time of its ratification.
Representative Randall, of Califor-
mia, prohibitionist member of the
house, predicted that the resolution
would pass the house, with forty or
fifty votes to spare.

The Armenians.

The recent proclamation of Mayor
Stowe, for relief for the starving suf
ferers in Armenia, Syria and portions
OF Palestine, called attention TO one of
the world charities that has stirred
the christian peoples and humanita-
rlans everywhere to lively action.
Governors CT states and Mayors Of
cities are by proclamations uroinp
that help be sent at once and without
stint. A national committee will
handle the funds raised and see that
they are properly expended. Tbs
committee finds it necessary to cou-
tlnue its work from year to year and
since the war began the demands
have increased every year. Since
October l, 1915, the expenditures
have exceeded 100000 and there
are now 100000 people actually
starving. 1.-THE Turks have reduced
the number greatly by masSacres and
deportations. AT least !, ZOO, 600 have
died and the horror of the state in
which the survivors find thems elves
is unspeakably tragic.
The ministers of Hopkinsville are
undertaking to raise Christian coun-
TVS quota of $1,000 The funds will
be distributed by the consuls and Red
Cross workers and every cent given
will go to relieve actual distress. Mr..
Ed, L. Weathers, Treasurer, at First
National Bank, will receive your con-
ributions.

Germans Rush Preparations
for Great Blow at
the Allies.
BRINGING UP RESERVES
Austrians Capture BrOadhead
on Pave, But are Later
Defeated.

Along the entire western front
from the north to the Adriatic sea
artillery duels of great magnitude are
being fought, which doubtless are
the forerunners of the expected great
offensive the Teutonic allies have in
view before the American troops can
reach The battle front in great num-
bers.
On the Ypres fronts held by the
British, on the various sectors east
ward from st. Quentin to Alsace, in
the hill country bordering the Italian
plains and at points along the Pave
river the big guns everywhere are in
active operation.
On the British front huge numbers
OF airplanes are continually engaged
in battles in the air or searching out
points where troops are being con-
centrated. The only infantry activity
taking place on any of the fronts isin
the nature of raiding operations.
The Teutons daily continue to re-
in force by large numbers their al
ready superior forces on all the
fronst. In the rush of troops and mu-
nitions to the theater in which the
British are operating one German
train is reported to have collided with
another, resulting in a great explo-
sion in which several hundred SOL
diers were killed.
Between the Brenta and Pave riv-
erS, on the northern front in Italy,
the artillery fighting is described
by the Rome war Office as intense,
and there is similar activity in the
coastal region near the mouth of
the Piave, where the Austri-
ans Monday captured a position in
the Cape Sile region, but later were
driven out with heavy loss. ~
In Russia the counter revolutionary
movement. headed by General Kale-.
dimes, is growing in strength.

partment. The last incident involving
rioting among negro troops was the
celebrated Brownsville affair, as the
result of which President Roosevelt
summarily dismissed a whole battal-
ion from the army.

Don't Kill Santa Claus.

Although this is time OF great
stress and distress and the whole
world is called upon to conserve food
and fuel, it is not necessary that we
should 90 to the extreme of killing
Santa Claus. Let the Christmas OF
the little ones be in no wise curtailed.
Santa Claus will no doubt have the
good sense to bring them presents
that are useful and will help to clothe
and'feed them.
To. the little children and many old
er ones as well, Christmas is the one
season that brings the greatest Joy and
pleasure. Even the soldiers in the
trenches look forward to it and they
would not deprive the little ones at
home of the pleasure of hanging up
their stockings on the mantel-piece.
X doesn't take great deal to make
the average child happy on Christ
mas day. Many boy has enjoyed
himself on an apple, an orange, few
sticks of striped candy and a couple
of hog bladders inflated month be-
lore. There are plenty OF things to
give the boys. Khaki suits, sweaters,
warm gloves, leggings, overcoats or
other clothing will do them world
of good and make them happy be-
sides. The girls can be pleased with
a Hundred and one serviceable and
pretty presents to be found in any
store where Santa may stop his old
time sleigh with bells ringing and his
Jolly old face wreathed in smiles. No,
don't discourage old St. Nicholas, but
let the 1917 Christmas be ''as usu-
al" Let the ''home comings" and
family reunions" be looked forward
to and above all let the children get
what is coming to them. Their faith
ers and brothers are fighting that all
Of us may enjoy liberty and let us not
begin by curtailing the happiness Of
the future soldiers and Red Cross
nurses OF the land that all of usars
taught to love.
Come on Santa Claus. Wen be.
glad to see you.
