GERMANS CARED NOT

ON U-BOAT WARFARE

Berlin, Tuesday, Nov. 1s-tBy the
Associated Pressl-Germany decided

the war as decisive factor. This
was proved today by reports read at

tee of the National Assembly.
Field Marshal Won Hindenberg was
the leading witness of the day. His
testimony. however, was scarcely
more Interesting than that Of Cen

less important than the reading Of
reports to Berlin by ,Dr. Heinrich F.
Albert, under-secretary of state and
former commercial attache at the
German embassy in Washington, and
DR.. Haniel Won Haimi1ausen, who
was counsellor at the WASHINGTON
embassy during the critical days of
1916 and 1917.
The field marshal declared Ger

Ohio Governor
Explains Recent
Break in Market

Washington. Nov Ie-The recent
break in the New York stock market
was due 10 "unbridied speculation"
Governor Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board. said in a letter to-
night to Senator Owen OF Oklahoma.
who asked for a direct explanation
OF the price crash.
Spectators took no heed Of warn
ings issued by the board and by the
federal reserve bank at New York
that reserves were declining and
that halt must be called, Mr.. Hard
ing said, and the speculative move
ment continued. These circumstan-
ees, he added, then forced the New
York bank to call the attendtion of
re-discounting banks to the situa-
ton, in order that demands of resu-
lar customers for call money in
handling commercial transactions
might be protected. The board had
made the specific announcement. Mr..
Harding said, that il would no. sane
ton amy policy which would require
federal reserve banks to withhold
credit demanded by commerce and
industry for the processes Of produc-
ton and distribution in order to en-
able memoirs banks to furnish cheap
money for speculative purposes"
Relative to tie boards posi- ion when
the market decline was evident, he ex-
planned that In normal Circumstances
one means Of checking it would have
been to advance discount rates. This
was not Gems dered practicable, however,
Mr. Harding said. because the govern
ment had marketed more than 81 CO.,
10000 in Liberty bonds. a substantial
portion OF which was sold to persons
who were paying for them out Of saw
ings OF accrued income. Such action
would have worked Q hardship, the
hoard bel eyed.
The high rates FOR call money" he
continued. which had prevailed for
several weeks and Internationally for
several months past, were In themselves
very clear indication Of the strained
position into which the unbrtdied spec.
ulation had thrown the stock market.
"A readiustment was rendered ine,.
table unless the resources of the fad.
eral reserve banks were to be indirectly
drawn upon for stock market pu poses :.
