NEW YORK, tOct. 1.-The cleveage between war and peace shares became more divergent in today's active and confused stock market, the former again yielding irregularly to heavy selling, while some of the latter added to gains of the previous day.
 Rather more noteworthy than either of these movements, however, was the confident inquiry for rails, including secondary or low priced shares.
 Among the erstwhile war brides further reactions of one to four points were witnessed and United States Steel, never popularly regarded as a war stock, made an extreme decline oi three points on very large turnover.

 Shippings, motors and coppers con- tributed to the general strength of the list until the final hour when United States Steel was at it's minimum and rails forfeited much, if not all, of their early advance, the market closing with heavy tone. Sales amounted to ESQ., 900 shares.

LONDON, June 13.-Maior Sir Ran
dolf Littlehales Baker, chairman of the
British committee for entertaining
American soldiers, after announcing the
general scheme of public entertainment
proposed, outlined to British newspaper
representatives yesterday plan for pri-
vates hospitality for American wounded
and men on leave, who will be taken
into English homes for period of three
days or more.
The committee, he said, already had
an enormous number of offers of such
hospitality, and local committees were
being organized to work out the details
in various centers with the assistance of
committees from the American Red
Cross, the Young Men Is Christian asso-
citation, and the army and navy.
The house of commons has organized
hospitality committee of its leading
members, who will devote one after
noon each week to entertaining Ameri-
can soldiers at the houses of parliament
with tea on the famous terrace over
looking the Thames.
Sir Alfred Mond, first commissioner
of works, yesterday signed a permit
authorizing American soldiers and sail
ors to play baseball in Hyde park. 1t is
the first time in history that permit
has been issued for the playing of any
game in this park.
