WILL LSONPS ADDRESS HAD B|G INFLUENCE
 AMONG THE TRADERS.
Conservative and Specula- tive Interests All Agree That It Favored the
 Constructive Side

New York, August s-Trading stocks today were influenced almost entirely by President Wilson's address, which Wall street interests, conservative as well as speculative, accepted as extremly fav- orable to the constructive side
 Gains of the preceding situation were considerably enhanced, especially in equipments and the wide range of in- dustrials which are expected to show further prosperity by enormous postwar demands. Rails and food shares which suffered severely in the several recent declines, also rallied vigorously a large part of the weeks extreme losses being recovered. In a few noteworthy in- stances, such as American Car and sev- eral of the higher priced specialities substantial net gains over last week S strong close were made, the market finishing at advances of to g points.
 General news of the day also favored the strong account including the July tonnage statement of the United States Cooperation, which disclosed an increase in thrilled orders of almost 100000 tons lover the preceding month.
 This marks the second successive in- crease of the corporation and brings the total of business on hand up to and be- ycnd any period since last March.
 Industrial conditions also improved, as indicated by the return to work of thous- ands of railroad shopmen, but mercantile business halted according to the reviews Of the trade agencies, by reason of the agitation against the high cost of Iiv- ing.
 Bonds were irregular, liberty issues as we'll as internationals. Total sales (par value) aggregated $7,250,0o0. Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call during the week.

UP 35 HUNS AND CAPTURED
1872, SINGLE HANDED.
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 12.-
Down in the fourth district of Ten
nessee there lives a man credited
with the most outstanding individual
achievement of any American in the
world war. His name, already known
to the majority of the people in the
United States, is Alvin c. York, and
until recently he was sergeant of
Company G, 328th Infantry, 82nd Di-
vision of the American Expeditionary
Forces. A bill has been introduced
by the congressman from the district
in which Sergt. York resides, Cordell
Hull, to honor the soldiers heroic ex-
ploits by commissioning him a second
lieutenant and then placing him on
the retired list with pay and allow
ances of a retired second lieutenant.
York virtually alone wiped out a Ger
man machine gun battalion, killed
twenty-five of the enemy and cap
tured 1872 prisoners.
The military affairs committee of
the House of Representatives is ex-
pected to report Congressman Hull's
bill favorably, and similar action by
the Senate is confidently predicted.
York, it will be remembered, was
second elder of the Church of Christ
and Christian Union in the section
where he lived, near the Wolf river
about five miles from the Kentucky
border. Although deeply religious he
declined to claim exemption as con-
scientious objector, and, being con,
vinced that his duty to country was
justified by Biblical writings, he
promptly devoted his attention to his
military duties, rose from the ranks
to be corporal, and then to a ser
geantcy after his exploit.
On his return to the United States
York was rendered a reception not re
ceived by any American soldier othel
than General Pershing, but he re
turned to his mountain home where

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 12.-Sunday
afternoon the cruiser Uruguay of the
navy of the Republic of Uruguay in
South America, arrived at Vera Cruz,
conveying the remains Of the late
Amado Nervo, poet and diplomatist,
who was minister from Mexico to the
republics of Uruguay and Argentina,
and who died while voyaging from
Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, to
Montevideo, travelling in the line of
duty.
Accompanying the remains were
members of the two governments to
which deceased had been accredited,
and representatives of the government
of Cuba, the Uruguay having stopped
at Havana en- route.
With solemn ceremonial those hav-
ing had charge of the casket contain
ing the remains of the distinguished
poet and statesman, delivered it to
representatives of the government he
had served so well, and they were
brought to shore of his native land.
In these ceremonies there united
representatives of other governments
in Latin America, Venezuela and Sal
vador being represented by their
ministers and Cuba by the comman-
der-in-chief of her army, General
Carbonell.
The remains of Don Amado will be
brought to this city, where with i'm
posing ceremony they will be laid to
rest, in which ceremony all the most
exalted personages in the republic will
unite.
Yesterday the government extended
invitations to the diplomatic corps tc
unite in the obsequies of the deceased
poet-diplomat, which will take place
this week. They have laid in state al

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Wall Street
was thrown into a financial panic To-
day, more serious and more severely
felt than anything of the kind occur
ing since the great slump of 1907.
The market opened groggy, and was
slow all the forenoon, with gen.
eral tendency to fall off. On the
curb there were few orders to buy
and offers to sell predominated in
great degree. The break followed a
morning of gradually descending
prices.
At 1870 this afternoon prices broke
wide open, on the Stock Exchange,
when call money reached 25 per cent,
and everything came down with run.
No part of the list escaped declines,
and some stocks suffered severely,
holders seeming particularly anxious
to get out from under.
General Motors, Crucible Steel,
Mexican Petroleum and many other
stocks dropped heavily. Railway
shares held fairly well, declines in
those stocks being not so pronounced
nor so heavy in offers for sale.
Shortly after 2 o'clock call money
reached 80 per cent. Brokers reported
that it was practically impossible to
borrow money at any price and that
stocks were being thrown overheard
regardless of prices.
1t was announced that trading
reached two million five hundred
thousand shares. Three million shares
sold is the heaviest days business ever
recorded.

An up-to-the-minute Y. M. G. A.
building for Nogales is the newest
thing afoot, and meeting has been
called for 8 o'clock this evening at the
Santa Cruz Club to hear General Sec
retary Roy A. Dickerson of the Tue
son 'FY," who will come prepared to
tell the local men interested just what
steps should be taken to put the de-
sired edifice in the Key City.
The young men of the community
have felt seriously the lack of ath-
letics and there has been for long
time a desire to establish a worth
while athletic club here. Among those
who have particularly interested
themselves is Tom E. Lake of the
Nogales Engineering Company. After
study of the subject, Mr.. Lake and
others have come to the conclusion
that the funds necessary to construct
and equip a building and maintain an
athletic club would be difficult to
raise, but that the prestige of the ''Y''
would be great enough to surmount
those difficulties. In addition to
gymnasium and similar facilities, a
"Y" building in Nogales with rooms
at reasonable rates for men would ma
terially help solve the pressing ques-
tion of hotel space. Local people have
expressed the view that the rentals
