SOON TO OPEN
STOCK EXCHANGE
_
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The stock
exchange will be opened on January
1, 1915, if the conditions continue to
adjust themselves sufficiently to the
changed conditions since the opening
of the war. The exchange was closed
down several days previous to the
beginning of hostilities, as the Euro
pean holders of stocks and bonds wrere
unloading and the American people
could not buy as money was tight.
It is believed conditions will be nor
mal in another month and that an
exchange rate can be established to
prevent the constant shipping of gold
from the United States to Europe.

DUTCH TO SETH
BIG WHO TOM
THE HAGUE, Nov. 17— In order to
cope with the terrific war burden of
1.000. 000 guilders (about $100,000)
daily for the mobilization of its army
the Dutch government proposes to in
stitute an export tax on all such
materials which, through war or oth
er circumstances, have increased in
price. The government has also an
nounced that it will at once introduce
a parliamentary bill for a loan of
250.000. 000 guilders (about $100,000,
000). If the loan is not subscribed
for by private parties, the govern
ment will force the highest taxpay
ers to take a part of the loan in
proportion to their capitals. All for
tunes under 50,000 guilders (about
$20,000) will be made exempt.

TERRIBLE AUSTRIAN
DEFEATIN GALICIA
(Continued from page 1.)
The plain facts are that the hospital
accommodations in northern France
are insufficient. There is a serious
■lack of efficient and experienced sur
geons and nurses. A great majority
■of the wounds treated are caused by
shrapnel. They become infected
quickly and demand surgical treat
ment of the most thorough charac
ter. With these cases time is a big
factor. It is dangerous in most cases
to subject the patient to a long trip
to England.”
New Phase of Sea Warfare.
LONDON, Nov. 17.—The naval cor
respondent of the London Times says:
“A new phase of naval warfare is the
blockade by submarine and mine. This
is apparently what Admiral von Tir
pitz is driving at. Seemingly it was
hoped by mining in the North Sea
to kill trade on the East Coast, and
now that this has not succeeded, the
same game is being played in the At
lantic. The admiral has no compunc
tion about placing his mines where
one of them may catch a big Ameri
can liner with her hundreds of pas
sengers, innocent people with no con
cern whatever in the war. It is quite
sufficient that such vessel is making
for a British port. And so with all
other neutrals, the captains of the
marauding raiders save the crews of
the merchant ships they sink, but the
mines which are drifting about in the
North Channel make no distinction
between British men of war and for
eign merchantmen. They will slay
without discrimination. This is the
new phase of naval warfare, some
thing on the plane of the garroter or
armed burglar, or the pirate who made
his captives walk the plank.”
500,000 Idle In Germany.
BERNE, Switzerland, Nov. 17
Figures made public by the German
trade unions give the number of un
employed in Germany at 500,000. The
same authority says that the average
number of applicants for every 100
positions open is from 200 to 300
in Berlin, Breslau, Hanover, Frank
fort, Dusseldorf and Strassburg; 350
in Bremen and Hamburg, 492 in Leip
sic, 629 in Dresden, while in nine
other important cities the average
number of applicants for every 100
positions ranges from 160 to 200.
