FEATURE OF STOCK MARKET FOR WEEK
 IS PRICE FIXING"
Action Coming on Steel, Iron, Copper and Oils, All of Which Are
 Unsettled

New York, August 26.-All other con alterations of a feverish week in the stock market were subordinated to con ditions created by the governments price liXing policy. Disappointment felt at terbalanced, however, by the more cheer full feeling created by tine schedule for the anthracite product.
 Action remains to be taken on such important commodities as steel, iron, cop per and oils. all of which. especially the latter, were much unsettled. Declines in rails other than those of the coal group, and in shippings, tobaccos and a few other specialties, were sympathetic, with indications of substantial support on the rebound.
 Foreign conditions as exemplified by the Russian situation were again drag, likewise the spread of labor disturbances, but these developments later evinced more hopeful tendencies. The loan oftan addi- tional hundred million dollars to the Rus sian government was regarded as fore shadowing more advances to other of the entente allies.
 The urgent needs of the British govern ment were indicated by the sale to Amer ican bankers of S15,000,Oo0 90-day treasury bills at 5A per cent discount and the intention of the British exchequer to make weekly offerings here of the same character to an aggregate of $150,000,000
 Steady withdrawa of t his country s gold, mainly by Japan, gives emphasis to reports that measures to restrict the out flow may soon be necessary It is real ized however, that a sudden halt in this movement might seriously disarrange the foreign exchange markets.

spoke resolutely, emphasizing the role he had played in recent events and his determination to guide events in with wild applause when early in his speech, speaking of the dangers from the extreme left. he declared: All at tenlpts with armed force against the peoples power will be crushed with blood and from
 Still more applause greeted him, when, hitting at counter revolution military conspiracy, he exclaimed: "Let them be warned who think the time has come when, relying on the bay onet. they can overthrow our revolu- tion," the audience arose and cheered this expression for five minutes.
 Premier Kerensky rebuked the Fin landers and other seeding nationali- = ties. his words evoking enthusiasm, voice when he declared that their pre- tensions threatened the success of the revolution. The premier's speech in dicated that the government expects further attacks tomorrow by the mil itary Duma and the Moscow deputies, which he denounced in advance.
 "I.ET THEM TAKE CARE
 "Those who think the moment has come to overthrow the revolutionary power with bayonets are making a mistake" said M. Kerensky. Let them take care, for our authority is supported by the boundless confidence of the people and by millions of sol diers who are defending us against the German invasion.
 "The provisional government is con vinced that all of you who have come here will forget everything except your duty toward your country and the revolution. The government be lieves it can tell the truth, not only to our friends. but also to our ene- mies-those who are destroying our troops, and those among us who are waiting for the moment when they may be able to raise their heads and bounce upon the free Russian people.
 T say again that I will hide noth ing from you, for you have come to- gether for the first time to speak to you frankly, to tell you of the unbear able, the immense responsibility which we are bearing despite all the blows we are receiving.
 "Citizens. the state Is passing through period of mortal danger.

 all know the task incumbent upon you for the struggle against power

 the critical situation of our country
 more serious every day.
 SHAMEFUL EVENTS
 "In our political life this process of Reorganization is worse even causing certain nationalities living in Russia
 to seek their salvation, not in close union with the mother country, but in
 separate aspirations. On top of all this came shameful events at the front
 when Russian troops, forgetting their
 duty to the country, gave way without resistance to pressure of the enemy and thus forged for their people fresh chains of despotism.
 I've fell so low because we could not free ourselves from the fatal inheri-
 tance of the old regime that we hated,
 but obeyed because we feared it.
 Therefore, now, when power rests on liberty, not on bayonets, we are trans
 ported with delight, although there is
 some hereditary distrust of this new
 power
 Those who once trembled before the government of autocrats now bold ly march against the government with
 arms in hand. But let them remember that our patience has it's limit and that those who go beyond them will r, to cntt1a with a n q mi which will make them rmember the time of czarism.

The premier declared that the de- structive period of the revolution had passed and that he had come to con . solidate it's conquests.
 For this reason" he continued, ''we ask you citizens whether you feel with In your hearts the indispensable sa- cred fire for the attainment of this object, whether you represent here in Moscow the national strength which in necessary lo assure tne prosperity ol the country Or will you give the world and us another picture of decadence?s "A little time ago we indignantly replied to a proposal to conclude a separate peace. A few days ago we witnessed another attempt, equally IS base, directed against our allies The latter rejected it with equal indigna- tion and In the name of the great 1 Russian people. say to our allies that It was the only reply we expected of tLem."

RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY

sNotwithsta nding the none too friendly attitude toward the mother country of certain nationalities of the Russian states" M. Kerensky contin- ued. 1.-the Russian democracy would give them all it promised through tho provisional government and all that the constituent assembly might yet decide to grant. but when the limit of tolerance was passed or where there was a desire to take advantage of the nations difficulties in order to violate the free will of Russia. they would cry hands off."' The premier said the government would prevent by force re : opening of the dissolved Diet in Fin- land, and that he hoped the country would approve this decision. His statement was cheered.

VOICED JAPAN's CLAIMS

VOICED JAPANS CLAIMS Japan claims entrance to this holy circle. She yields to none in reverence and respect-nor is there any gulf be- tween the ancient east and the new born west too deep and wide for the hearts and the understandings of her people to cross
 "It is fitting then that men who love liberty and justice better than they Hove life-that men who know what honor is-should seek this shrine and here, in the presence of these sacred ashes. rededicate themselves to the ser- vice of humanity.
 "It is a fitting place, at this time, when all the world is filled with tur- moil and suffering, for comrades in d holy cause to gather and here renew their fealty to righteous purpose firm in the determination that the struggle must go on until the world Is free from menace and aggression.
 Japan is proud to place herself be- side her noble allies in this high re- solve and here, in the presence of these deathless ashes, she reaffirms her de- votion to the cause and the principles for which they wage battle, fully de- termined to do her whole part in se- curing for the world the blessings of liberty, justice and lasting peace.
 PLACES WREATH
 As the representative of my people, of Washington with reverent hands, and in so doing, 1t Is my proud privilege to again pledge my country to those prin- lples of right and justice which have given immortality to the name of Wash ngton.'
 In introducing the special ambassador Secretary Daniels recalled that, when in the early 5Os it was determined to send an American mission to Japan it was headed by a naval officer, Commodore Perry who to the courage of an officer added the accomplishments of diplo- mat He related how Perry won the con- hdence of the Japanese people and their rulers and how the Japanese people
 learned from the Perry mission the broad and fraternal spirit of the American people
 Today" said the secretary, with stronger ties than ever woven out of the threads of our mutual participation in the worldwide struggle to insure to all mankind the right to live their own lives and pursue their own national ideals, Japan and America pause at the tomb of Washington in the hope that there may fall upon us double portion of his spirit of faith in the triumph of the right and his readiness to make the su- preme sacrifice for the principles for which America, Japan and their allies are contending An the arena of war.

 Touching or, Crocker Land, MacMillan said: "Peary was deceived by a mirage, due to layers of air at different densities suspended close to the ice Peary sight, ed this supposed land from a cliff 400 feet high. We mounted the same cliff and for four days were deceived. Finally, when the shifted, it was no longer there.

 NO LOSS. OF LIFE
 The expedit on was carried through without the loss of man and notwith- standing disa ster at the very start. The explorers left North Sydney in July, 1913. on the steamer Diana, but were wrecked on Eorges Pcint, on the Labrador coast, Nothing daunted they returned to St. Johns, N. F., and were transferred to the steamer Enic, which landed the party at their base Etah, August 20.
 We had some hardships, of course, due to the cold, but we had no sickness what ever" said MacMillan. The only thing that saved us from scurvy was our fresh meat supply.

TO BE HANDLED WITH CARE

The amateur must step carefully this season between the vast variety of stripes that are strewn along the path of fash ion. Stripes are things that must be handled with care. They do not offer the amiable disposition to be lovely that is offered by solid colored fabrics.
 Doeuillet knows this because he is an artist of high degree, and in the new suit which he has sent to this country and which is shown in the sketch to- day, the stripes are admirably blended with bits of solid colors.
 The coat is cut on a new model, as you see. The skirt is that narrow plain affair that the house of Doeuillet always advocates. The material is blue striped with gray. The pockets are in blue and gold. The cords and buttons that out line the high waistline are also blue. The muffler which ia the distinguishing fea- ture of the suit, and is used instead of a collar, is of dark gray striped with blue This is a reversal of the colors from the suit and is quite an effective touch.
