at this season and is compensated

As a matter of fact industrial ac-

is close 10 the high record for the
year and well above anything prev

is probable that the acute car short

has had the effect Of throwing part
Of the traffic movement over into
November, but the evidence of Il
gradual improvement i'm transpOrta-
tion conditions Is strengthened by a
decrease in the excess demand for
freight cars as reported by the
American railway association.
Steel production also continues to
maintain a better rate than had
been expected. Various authorities
place output at close 10 SO percent
of capacity. which means that no
diminution has taken place from
the years best rate.
Carriers Earnings Favorable
one OG the developments which
caused satisfaction in financial cir
cIes was the publication of a large
roportion of the October railway
earning statements. Bearing in mind

the disappointing character of the

Prince Andrew, brother OF former
King Constantine has been sentcn-
ced by a military court to banish-
ment for life and deprivation Of his

that Prince Andrew refused 20

in another direction. but considers
that in view Of his lack of expert
ence IN commanding large masses of
fighting troops, and the conditions
In which he was placed. application
OF tho penalties provided by law
would not be justifablc.
The trial OF the prince closed last
night after numerous witnesses had
been examined and pleas for elem
ency had been made by counsel for
the defense The indictment set
forth that in the advance on the
Sangaris river Prince Andrew, COM
manding the second army cops. re

Royalty had a bad time in the
final stages OF the inquiry. The
prosecutor dwelt on the disadvan-
tages OF employing princes I'm high
positions in the army and he pointed
out that their influence was perni-
cious. not only in Greece. but i'm all
countries. and cited cases where
they had been responsible for mili-
tary disaster. In this connection he
alluded to the former German
crown prince, which pleased the
democrats among the spectators.
Prince Shows Nerve.
Andrew bore up well throughout
the trial. IL was touch and 20

life. as the charge on which he was
convicted is punishable, according
TO article eO7 OF the Greek code. by

The defense, however, evoked
special circumstances. and the
prince found himself referred 10 as
altogether unqualified for the posi-
tion of commander OF an army
corps, which could only have been
obtained through fayoritism ac-
corded to royalty.
The prosecutor asserted that
Prince Andrew was unable TO realize
the responsibilities Of his position
and consequently could not be
treated as a real general who fed
