FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED

New York, Nov. 14.-The stock mar ket today gave further expression to the many conflicting factors which have engaged the earnest attention Of financial and industrial interests since the signing of the armistice.
 Prices were firm to strong at the beginning, rails, shippings, equipments and oils, together with such specialties as motors and tobaccos, holding their gains of one to three points through out the forenoon.
 Later the entire list fell back, the reversal Coinciding with reports from Washington totthe effect that the war industries board had been empowered to cancel war contracts in excess of comparatively nominal amounts.
 The reaction was at it's height in the last hour, when oils and industrials not only forfeited all gains but gave way to net losses of one to four points Motors also yielded easily with kindred Specialties.
 U. s. Steel gave promise at the out set of regaining a substantial part of its recent loss, advancing 1 1-4 points but relinquished all it's advantage closing at a slight fractional loss. Advances of one to two points in rails, with Southern Pacific the lead ing feature, also were soon forfeited while coppers labored under the handi- cap of adverse earnings and shippings lost ground on further postponement of the Mercantile Marine deal. Sales amounted to 5,000 shares Liberty bonds eased slightly, domes- tic railway and industrial issues yield ed 1 to l 1-2 per cent, and interna- tionals were irregular.

Peoria, Illinois, Nov. 14.-War be- tween the major leagues and the minor organizations of the country threatens to develop as a result of action taken at the annual meeting of the National Association of Pro- fessional Baseball Leagues here today protesting against the privileges of major leagues to draft star players from the minors.
 The protest was embodied in reso- lution drawn by A.. R. Tearney of Chicago. president of the Three-Eye League, and prsntd by Jack Holland owner of the St. Joseph. Mo, club of the Western League. The resolution demanded that the American and National leagues relinquish the right of the draft and also the practice of farming out of players under the optional agreement It was adopted without a dissenting vote.
 Thomas J. Hickey, president of the American Association, urged the minor league organization to withdraw from the national agreement with the ma jors if the demand is refused. A committee consisting of Holland, Tearney and Joe Tinker owner of the Columbus club of the American As sociation, was appointed to present
 
 Commission a it's first meeting. The minor leagues, however, de- sire to reserve the privilege of draft players within their own organiza- tion higher leagues drawing from lower class organizations under pres ent regulations. Steps will be taken to readjust the draft prices.
 The minor leaguers also adopted new salary schedules and agreed to a re- classification of leagues with the ex- ception of the nine that survived last season. The three Class A leagues the Pacific Coast, American Associa- tion and the International Leagues i were exempted from the new salary regulations because of the fear that the Pacific Coast League contemplated playing outlaw baseball. President | Hitchcock of the American Associa- ton made an appeal that a stipulated salary limit for the association and the Intwernational League would prevent clubs in these organizations from | holding their players, as the Pacific Coast League if it withdraws from the organization, could offer more attractive salaries because of the longer season prevailing on the coast.
 The salary limit of Class A leagues was fixed at $2,600 a month; Class B at $2 900; Class c at s1,4OO and Class D at s1,20O The clubs will be re- quired to deposit substantial guaran- | tees with the league president and failure to enforce the salary limits will result in fine for the first two offenses and forfeiture of their fran chise for the third offense.
 | The classificatio nof new leagues to be organized after peace is declared will be determined by the agg1 egate | population of cities comprising the circuits. Class A leagues mrsc have an aggregate population of 1,150,00O;

The KAISER as q S9destepper

Readers of the willy" and "Nicky" CORE
spondence will remember that back in 1905,
when Russia was eompelled to make peace with
Japan, Willy telegraphed to "Nicky" suggest
ing that he sidestep the responsibility of dis
advantageous and humiliating peace by putting
it up to the Duma representatives to adopt what
was practically worked out for them at Plym-
outh and let the peoples representatives bear
all the odium which might ultimately result
therefrom. That would lead the people to think
that their own representatives had betrayed
them and incline them to turn to "Nicky" again.
This may be the policy which the kaiser is
trying to adopt now. He is loading up the
Relchstag, by his own WILL with the response
blllty OF extricating the German nation from the
huniliating position to which it has been re-
duced. Matters are going from bad to worse
and when the revolution comes and the govern
ment is overthrown the kaiser will hope to be
able, as he advised "Nicky" to lay the blame
upon the Reichstag, throw out his chest and
offer himself as the only savior Of the German
nation.
And who shall say that the German people
are not stupid enough in their blind devotion to
domineering spirit like the kaiser to accept
him again as their leader and give him the sup
port which he would require to retain his place
and influence as the head of the empire There
might be some pretended political reform, but
the kaiser would still possess the substance of
power.-Minneapolis Tribune.

LISTEN TO LINCOLN.

On this anniversary of the delivery of Lin
coins immortal address at Gettysburg it will be
we'll to review the advice he then gave his coun-
trymen While intended for the great ques-
tons that then vexed the nation that address
contains thoughts that may apply to the present
condition. To bind up the wounds of war, to
carry forward the work of the soldiers in estab-
fishing liberty is just as important now as then.
1t was to this task Lincoln adjured the living to
dedicate themselves, that the dead might not
have died in vain. A similar task confronts US,
and the world, and the future demands the de-
votion of our utmost endeavor for the right.
No selfish cause or class interest must be per-
mitted to turn the current of victory into priv
ilege for few. Forbearance is required of all,
but not to the point where any will forfeit full
share in the great opportunity that is now open
ing for everybody. Old things are cast aside
along with old ways, but the new must not be
distorted or twisted into special application for
the advantage of class, above or below or in the
middle. "A square deal, fair chance for every
body ami government of the people, for the
people and by the people shall not perish from
the earth"

War and the Plaque.

First thoughts of war almost invariably
turn on loss of life incident to conflict of armies
The death roll here is always impressive, fire.
quently, magnifed through vain Imagination,
but remaining to the end convincing evidence
OF mans innate savagery. Such thoughts ex-
cude fact that is entitled to far more consid-
Grafton than it ever gets-that death is the por-
ton of all. Moreover, now that the fighting in
France has ceased, the relation between the war
and the plague is coming to be considered
Whatever the rause, whether it be from dis.
turbance of the nutrition of the people because
of careessness growing out of war excitement,
or for any other reason, a pandemic has pre-
vailed, and its death toll has been in the United
States practically double that exacted by the
war. Almost, if not quite, as many men died
in training camps here as laid down their lives
in battle abroad, while the number of civilians
who succumbed to the "hu" is greater than
either. And the war is over, while the disease
daily adds to its victims, No comfort can be
had from this, unless it be that men of science
are striving with utmost endeavor to discover
means for checking the scourge. The only
lesson is that war, terrible AS it may be made,
holds scarcely more of danger than follows man
in his most peaceful secluson.

Drama of Sedan

With what dramatic color the war for the
liberation Of the ravished provinces of France
closest The Americans debtors to, France. to
Lafayette of immortal memory, the Americans
take from the Huns Sedan, the loss of which in
1871 was tragedy for the French, in the
French and Prussian war. What high dramatic
interest, indeed, centers in this act of fine
chivalry! And how wonderful the movings of
the hands of the clock of destiny that it should
be timed as the curtain drop of the hostlities
for the Americans
When the poet and the dramatist and the
painter have time and perspective for the great
pictures and great stagngs and the great
dramas of the present war, let them not miss
this as theme of sublime spiritual INTEREST,"
France and the United States, friends from the
cradle of the American republic and from the
days of the French northumberland and the
United States are welded yet still closer in the
enduring ties of blood by the latest battle of
the Americans battle that made it impossible
for the Germans to do other than accept the
terms of the armistice, no matter what these
might be. Hail to France! Cherished be the
memories of the American men who were the
heroes of the mighty drama Of the capture of
Sedan from the hold of the Hdns!- Baltimore

End of Germany's Sea Power.

How completely Germany is beaten is illus
trated by the surrender of its navy. In no other
way could this be made so clear, even to the
Germans themselves. Won Hindenburg and the
great army laid down arms and started for
home, defeated in battle and rendered harmless
in surrender. They had fought for four years,
with stubbornness and skill, only to be overcome
at last by better directed force. All this time
the navy, on which so much thought and money
have been lavished, the great instrument by
which England was to be stricken and brought
to subsection, remained inactive behind the har-
Dor defenses at either end of the KEEL canal.
The Dresden the Emden, the Scharnhorst, the
Gueisenau, the Eitel Friedrich and one or two
other cruisers played havoc with commerce for
short time on the high seas, but soon were
hunted down. A sortie, terminating in the bat
tie of Jutland, in which the Germans were
sorely defeated, comprises the activity of the
great navy on which the kaiser rested one COL
umn of his triumphal arch. Its inglorious end
ing is accumulated by the scourge of the U-boat,
set upon the world to bring about victory in
which terror should be the deciding factor. No
color in all the kaser's rainbow dream has
turned more vivid yellow than that of his navy

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
November 10. 1868.

Four score and seven years ago our faith
ers brought forth on this continent new ma
ton, conceived in liberty and dedicated to
the proposition that all men are created
equal Now we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation, or any. ma
ton so conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. 4
We are met on great battlefield OF that
war. We have come to dedicate a portion
of that field as final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that nation
might live. 1t is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But, in
larger sense. we cannot dedicate, we cannot
consecrate. we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here have consecrated it far above
our poor power to add or detract The world
will little note, nor long remember, what we
say here, but it can never forget what they
did here. 1t is for us the living, rather, to
be dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus far so
nobly advanced. 1t is rather for, US to be
here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us; that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure of de-
votion; that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain; that this ma
ton, under God, shall have new birth Of
freedom, and that government of the people,
by the people. for the people shall not perish
from the earth.
