Coppell Elected Head of Denver Road. New York, Nov. 5.—Arthur Coppell § the New York banking house of §aitiand, Coppell & Co., was elected sterday to the presidency of the nver & Rio Grande Railroad com- o succeeding Benjamin F. Bush, a reorganization meeting of the Boad's directors. His election is be- ed to foreshadow serious differ- ces between independent banking terests now in control of the Mis- §ouri Pacific compay.and the Gould interests, which have strengthened their hold on Denver & Rio Grande as a result of the election. Mr. Coppell’s acceptance of the Denver & Rio Grande presidency is only temporary, as he is to be suc- ceeded soon by H. U. Mudge, until re- cently president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway and now chief operating officer of that system under the receivership. The election of Mr, Coppell, as well as the choice of his successor, Mr. Mudge, is said to have been earnestly opposed by Mr. Bush, who was the original choice of' the Goulds for the presidency of the Mis- souri Pacific in the face of the opposi- tion whose interests he was reported yestérday as favoring.

Mr. Asquith’s intention apparently was to demon- the English and allied nations how much England had done in the war, but since he was unable to ‘show how much England had achieveq | | in the war, he merely pointed out the ! efficiency of the central powers and their successes. “Mr. Asquith solemnly stated that the west front, which translated into plain language, means that the much cvaltéd Anglo-French offensive falled completely. Is he unaware of the fact that the question may be asked, where is the English navy which is several times superior in number of ships to the German navy? “Mr. Asquith’s sleight of hand, however, is unable to juggle away Fngland’s critical financial position, and although he tries to smoothly slide over his confession, nobody in words, nor by the awkward explana- tions given for the utter failure of the entente powers’ diplomacy in the Bal- kans, where the much advertised English protection of small neutral states was justly valued and answered “Mr. Asquith’s speech which, as he himself confesses, was made under a clouded sky, is a strange mixture of commonplace facts, excuses, disguised avowals of shortcomings and juggling with statistics, As the entire Ger- man press points out, the speech has caused observers of the war to reach the conclusion that Mr. Asquith in- directly made it in order to acknow- ledge the superior force of England’s enemiels and to confss his own in- ability to deal effectively with the | present problems. RULE HITS U. S. FIRMS. Must Now Pay Income Tax on Earn- ings in England. London, Nov, 5.—The chancellor of the exchequer, Reginald McKenna, yesterday promulgated an order under which agencies of American mercan- tile firms operating in Great Britain will be compelled to pay an income tax on the basis of their total earn- ings in Great Britain, including money | Teturned to the United States. Hitherto these agencies have paid an income tax only on the profits pended in this country. The new tax will hit some agencies very hard and may have the effect of discouraging the importation of what in war time are comsidered luxuries that cause an unfavorable trade balance. Armour & Co., the Standard Oil company and similar firms, duly incorporated here are paying an income tax as such, will not be affected by the new ruling. KIRMESS OPENS TONIGHT.

HOLCOMB NAMES THANKSGIVING DAY Chief Executive of State Issues Pro- clamation Designating November 25 As Day of Gratitude to God." Hartford, Nov, 65—Governor Mar- cus H. Holcomb issued his Thanks- giving Day proclamation yesterday, as follows: State of Connecticut, By His Excellency, Marcus H. Holcomb, Governor. A Proclamation. More than two and one-half cen- turies ago the people of this common- : wealth established for the nation the custom of annually setting apart a day in the fall of the year when they'| cculd return thanks to God for U bounty to them. Yet rarely in all the ! years have our people had so abund- i ant cause to observe such a day.' As often before, once again He has heaped our bins with the fruits of the earth until they overrun, He has multiplied to us material wealth and prosperity. Yet, far more than these things, now in His mercy He has fenced us about from the pain and | suffering that is making desolate so many lands, in time of stress and turmoil He had held stable our in- stitutions, kept untarnished our honor. So has He preserved to us the opportunity to go forward along the paths of national and individual righteousness ballwed by the deeds and hopes of our forefathers. It Is our duty to give thanks to Him with- out Whose help these things could not be and that we may do so unitedly. I do now designate Thursday, Novem- ber the twenty-fifth, as a day of Thanksgiving, and I call upon all the citizens of this. state, on that day, humbly and sincerely to bow before their God, in gratitude for these His Blessings and in prayer for the con- tinuance of His mercies unto us. ' Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol in Hartford, | this fourth day of November, in the | year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and fifteen, and of the In- dependence of the United States the one hundred and fortieth.
