, that month was the best monthly figure in more than year. It helped the stock rise to 25 up l 3-4 points. Subsequently it lost nearly all the gain. Other carriers be- haved the same and most of them closed with small losses.
 American Telephone reached 1O5 up l 1-2 points, and then fell back to around the previous close. Consolidated Gas fell back from it's days high of 58 1-8 up 7-8. Other Utilities eased off late in the day.
 Copper shares softened near the close on reduction to 3-S cnts in the price for the metal. There was no demand at that figure. Re- ports in the street were to the ef- feet world copper producers would gather in New York after election to work out new operation plans to take effect when the present agreement expires at the end or the year.

 Freeport Texas and Texas Gulf Sulphur made substantial gains.

Among the com- panies reporting losses in addition to Auburn were Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Libby-Owens Glass, and Pierce Arrow.

Bankers Sandbagged Into
Depression By Mellon,
Charges Cong. Patn1an
The Forming of Small Banks to Buy Foreign Bonds,
Which Have Turned Out to Be Worthless,
Underlying Reason For Collapse.

Morgan and Seligman and the Ma
t:onal City Bank were unloading
or the helpless American public at
commissions to Morgan as high as
10 per cent-appeared in Luray.
BY high pressure salesmanship
they unloaded $210,OOC of these
bonds on the First National Bank
of Luray. The bank closed it's doors
on Oct 6. 1881.
"In this foreign bond racket we
find the department Of commerce,
the department of state and the
department of the treasury, with
the full sanction. and approval of
the president of the United States,
combined and conspiring to aid
dishonest Wall street swindling
firms to milk the American public
of some billions of dollars" con-
tinues Congressman Patman in
"Plain Talk"
He asserts that the state depart
ment tapped" the president of
Venezuela over the head to give
Morgan and Mellon a pipeline con-
ccssion through that country. He
charges that the son OF the presi-
dent of Peru was bribed into fixing
a loan of $100,000,000. which the
National City Bank and j. & w.
Seligman marketed. He charges
that the department of commerce
helped rig the market by circulat-
ing fanse reports of conditions in
Peru. s,5
He ridicules the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. pointing out
that it's work is only to. aid the
money-vested interests. He cites its
loan of $19,500,000.to the Missouri
Pacific to make good the bonds
held by J. p. Morgan.

HANDS ACROSS
SEA NOW ARE
BECOMING BANDS
CHS Exchange Programs
Aiding international
Understanding

New York - Gu. P.) - The old
doctrine of "hands across the sea"
as applied to international under
standing, is rapidly being replaced
by Glands across lne sea-"
The newer ideal is being fostered
chiefly by William S. Paley. Column
bia Broadcasting System president,
who has just announced another
series of exchange broadcasts be-
tween Columbia and the British
Broadcasting Corporation.
The bands referred TO are not
only the wave bands into which the
ether has been divided, but to mu-
steal units providing both classical
and popular airs. For Paley Is a
firm believer in the universally Of
music.
Real Understanding
For real understanding between
nations" Paley said sit Is import
ant not only to learn how the other
half lives. but what the other half
likes. In the first. three months of
this year we presented close. to 40
programs from abroad. Three pro-
grams, on the other hand, have
been transmitted from this country
to IL European countries.
The new series of broadcasts to
the United States will be under four
main headings, as follows:
1.-THE Eternal Schoolboy" in
which the Columbia program will
be devoted ito an exposition of
British Broadcasting Company will
respond with one on school life In
Britain.
1.-THE Common Heritage" and
New England" with the British
Broadcasting company offering Brit
ish music and poetry of the fifteen
tn, sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles Chat is prior to the Revolu-
tionary War;. and Columbia pre-
senting in return literature and
period from Penn to Emerson and
Thoreau.
College Life
1.-THE Great Unlicked", in. which
America will tell Britain of college
life here. with the British Broad
casting company offering the other
side of the picture two weeks later.
Vaudeville and musical comedy,
symbolized by Leicester Square,
and "Broadway"-two names which
will serve as titles for the British

heading.

Mellon began his speech nervous
iy, but was soon at east. Although
he did not mention war debts, he
made it plain that he did not be-
lieve in quick and spectacular
remedies"
Britain has turned the most
difficult corner and the situation
Is in hand" Mellon said. 1.-The
United States is frankly facing diff
ficulties which are serious, but
neither so critical or unprecedent-
ed as to justify lack of faith in our
capacity to deal with them in our
accustomed way"

ed taxes, the federal government

already have done here" Mellon
said.
The ambassador referred to the
kinship of blood, the outlook on
life, and the language. literature,
and tradition of liberty binding the
American and British people.
Together we represent a great
centripetal force in a world which
tends to fly apart. We must leave
nothing undone TO strengthen that

again. Her armies effected little
against the Germans, but in the
south, under. Brussiloff. the Rus
slams smashed the Austrian Fourth
Corps, reached the Carpathians and
saw the Austrians in Bulkowina run
away.
But Russias' strength was brok-
en-, as events were soon, to prove
when she sued for peace. History
was to show that Hindenburg,
then nearly 20, had succeeded.
where Napoleon failed. in con-
quering the land of tho cars.
Then things came to stand
still, but the Allies scored by
bringing Rumania with a million
men into, the war. In the mean
time, Falkenhayn denied further
troops to Hindenburg. He need
ed them all for the luckless and
Savage attack on yerdun, where
the flower of the German army
persisted in futile effort to crush
the French.
BY July, 1915, the kaiser and his
flatterers came to sense reali-
ties. Accompanied by Falkenhayn
and others, they came to the castle
of Pless in Upper Silesia. Hinden-
burg and Ludendorff were sent for.
Falkenhayn resigned and Hin
denburg was made comman-
der-in-c chief of all the armies. with
Ludendorff as his quartermaster
general.
The new chief at once decided
there must be no more Verduns.
The German armies on the west
must stand on hte defensive for
the time being. The first bust
ness in hand was to attend to those
Rumaniatls. Joint armies of Ger
mans, Austrians, Bulgarians and
Turks were set in motion and in
a swift and ruthless campaign the
Rumanian army was put out Of
business.
Hindenburg could now pay some
attention to the west. He might
well have said to his kaiser what
Foch said to Clemenceau:
you give me supreme command
in lost battle and ask me to be
happy about it,"
Everywhere the Germans had
performed prodigies in arms, but
the British and French armies were
themselves performing heroic mir
acles and the Russians still gave
signs of fighting strength. Eng
lands, grip on the, sea had tight
ened and her blockade Of Germany
had made the people of the kaiser
the bitter pangs of hunger.
