HEAVY REVERSALS
IN STOCK MARKET
Millions of Paper Profits
Evapor;te; Technically
Situation Improved.

by tne Associated NreSS.
NEW YORK. November 15.-The
stock market this week suffered one
of the heaviest rev Nersals and liquidat-
ing movements since the close of the
war. Technically, however. the stu
alton is improved. because it is real
lied that tightening of credit facili-
Ties and resultant reduction of bank
loans will tend to check speculative
cxcesses. The effect will be felt in all
important trading centers throughout
the country, it is held.
Much of the money now employed in
the stock market represents actual
purchases of securities for the strong
boxes OF investors. 1he stree q;
transportation shares is regarded by
conservative interests as one of the
moSt favorable aspects of the situation.
Accumulation of these issues was
taken TO be a direct reflection of con-
Gressional legislation in process of
completion.
Call Money Highest Since 1907.
During the week speculative stocks
broke 10 to 90 points. Losses in sew
eral conspicuous instances were far
greater. Call money rose to- 80 pen
cent, record top figure since the
panic of 1907. and the money market
was swept clean of time funds. Fig
uring at the lowest quotations of the
weeks trading, most OF the substan-
tiai advance accumulated in the bull
movements of September and October
was wiped out. Paper profits of mil
lions of dollars evaporated
Final Session Dull.
The final session of the memora Bile
week was characterized by dullness
and general irregularity. Adverse
LABOR developments early in the day
as indicated by the course of the
coal conference and another break
In foreign exchange prompted fur
ther selling for both accounts.
Extreme reactions of to points
were made by steels. motors. equip
ments. oils and tobaccos. with a
sprinkling of miscellaneous special
ties. but these were partially recov-
close.
Rails sustained the market. so far
as 1t showed any recuperative power.
but even those issues dropped when
the demand ceased. The few note
worthy rallies included General Mo-
tors. which made up almost all it's
6-po1nt decline, and Mexican Pc
troleum. which reversed it's 5-point
loss with a fractional net gain. Sales
amounted to 100000 shares.
Bank Statement Disappo1nrs.
The bank statement was disap-
pointing in the sense that the actual
loan contraction of about $4,000 900
was accompanied by decrease of
almost S5o.0o0.00O in actual excess
reserves. At the same time clearing
house banks decreased their reserves
in the local federal reserve bank by
slightly more than $50. 100000
Bonds were firm. further gains

MEXICAN OIL
HISTORY HAS
Been OUTLINED

Mexico City. Aug. 2s-Complete
history of the Mexican Petroleum
question. including legislation dating
aack to the days OF Spanish domfn-
on and continuing UP to the consti-
ution of 1917. together with data
concerning the industry and figures
moving profits made by oil companies
this country has been furnished the
Associated Press by Leon Salinas. UNI
Ter secretary OF commerce and labor.
which department has charge of mat
-ers pertaining to petroleum.
Section of laws enacted since 1893
according to the statement, establish
sor the Mexican government the legal
right TO exercise dominion over coal
and oil deposits and to enact mining
and commercial codes which shall be
binding Throughout the republic. Arti-
Gle % of the constitution Of 1917, the
statement says. defines in clear terms
the dominion of the nation over hydro
carbons and outlines a system of con-
cessions for the exploitation and de-
velopment of petroleum territory"
Discussing various legal phases If
the question and giving historical data
concerning the establishment OF differ
ferent development countries in the
republic. thee statement gives produc-
ton figures which show that from
1901 TO 1918 approximately 2S6, 000,0 900
barrels OF oil were produced in Mexi-
co each year. The production during
1918 was approximately IL per cent.
of the potential production of the coun-
try. the statement says, adding that
lack of transportation has been the
reason that the Mexican oil industry
has not as yet equalled that of the
United States.
Referring to profits, the statement
cites one company which in 1918 re-
turned a net profit of more than D.
100000 pounds sterling, being 1T per
cent of the invested capital, which
does not include the increase OF value
in the lands controlled by the COM
pany.
In conclusion the statement says:
This analysis is for the purpose OF
demonstrating that the oil business isI
a. good one when 1t is carried out with
the technical and financial means re-
quired by the magnitude OF the en-
terprise.

BELGIUM REFUSES
TO MAKE CHARGE
AGAINST KAISER
Delegates Declare Such Ac-
hon Should Be Taken by
Commission
By Associated Press

Paris, April 1.-THE Belgian dele
cation to the Peace Conference yes
terday informed the correspondent
that Belgium had not been officially
requested by the Council of Four 10
bring the former German emperor
10 trial. and that the Belgian govern
ment would feel obliged TO decline
TO take the step, even if there were
any request for such action.
The Belgian delegates hold that
any action should be taken by COM
mission representing all the asso-
ciated powers. The official Belgian
view, il was said. is that the former
emperor cannot he arraigned for de-
claring war or violating the neutral
ity of Belgium. or for any act pre-
ceding or Coincident with the decla-
ration OF war.
After pointing out that there is no
tribunal competent to hear such
charges against the former emperor.
and no provision Of international Law
covering such cases. the delegates
said that Belgium expects that per-
sons guilty of acts punishable under
criminal codes of any of the bel
ligerent powers should be placed on
trial. as theft. murder and other
crimes committed during the war
does not relieve the criminal of re-
sponsibility.
Does Not Seek Revenge
IF the commission desires 10 ar
raign Gen. Baron Won. Mantuefrel for
the saCkinE CT Louvain. General Won
Schroeder for the murder of Captain
Fryatt. and General Won Sauherz-
weig. for the execution of Miss Edith
Cavell. all the necessary documents
Will be Forthcoming" said the gem
eral secretary OF the delegation. But
Belgium does not seek revenge. 1t
wants only justice. It would be small
satisfaction to lock up the kaiser for
few mCnths in the Saint Gills pris-
on, and those who have reported
that such revenge has been offered
Belgium as a solace for her wrongs
have sadly misunderstood the Bel
sian character. il they thought it
would be acceptable.
The only case in which the per-
sonal responsibility of the eX-emper-
or for q criminal act committed in
Belgium could be established beyond
doubt is in the atrocities attending
the depOrtations of civilians and
compelling them to do forced labor
in Germany. In this case his respon-
sibility is unQuestioned."
