London, Nov. 20, 7:36 a. m.—An Athens despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co., filed Friday, says Ser- bian troops at Monastir succeeded yesterday, “in advancing to a dis- tance of seven Kkilometres” (about *4%-3 miles.) The telegram adds that the intentions towards Monastir of the Bulgarians who have occupied Prilep are unknown. Denys Cochin, minister without portfolio in the French cabinet, left for Salonki after an interview wth King Constantne- he reference to the Serb advance at Monastir is rather cryptic. Un- official advices yesterday were that town had been occupied by the Bul- gars. The “advance” may have been made before the town finally was abandoned or it may mean that Mon- astir still is in the posession of the Serbians and that the Bulgars have been repulsed, Less Serious Than Reported. London, Nov. 20,. 6:40 a. m.—A Reuter despatch from Athens filed yesterday says: ‘‘Arrivals from the front depict the situation as less sombre than has been reported. The Serbians are retreating in perfect order and have lost no prisoners. The guns captured by the Bulgarians are old pieces of little value and a thousand pieces of artillery remain n the possession of the Serbs, whose morale is still good. The ultimate issue depends upon the timely arrival of the allies forces.” Bombardment of Gorizia. Rome, Nov. 19, via Paris, Nov. 20, | 1:25 a. m.—The Italian bombardment | of’Austrian positions in and around Gorizia continues with unabated vigor, according to the official statement js- sued today at the headquarters of the general staff.

Possibly some of the Philadelphia’s confidence had departed with the registering of three defeats agalnst him in earlier games.

The score of actual points made was thus: Hoppe, 500; Mayer, 163.

WOULD LOSE AFTER LONG WAR Too Great a Struggle Would Prove a Sethack (Special to the Herald.) New York, Nov. 20.—Our financial outlook is undoubtedly promising, hut | contains many difficult and un- precedented problems, practically all of which are an outgrowth of war. The violent derangement of our for- eign trade, the sudden and over- whelming demands for munitions, the undreamed of applications for Amer- ican funds and the consequent sec- ondary disturbances affecting ship- ping, railroads, factories, labor, com- modities, exchange, money, securities, etc., are too familiar to require men- tion. No line of business has entire- ly escaped the effect of the European cataclysm. Some of these problems have already been successfully faced. Others are still in prospect and will require cool and careful action, Al- though our financial and industrial resources laave already been mobilized upon a war basis, there still remain two great contingencies yet to be faced; either an early peace, or pro- longation of the war, the former may be within the probabilities. A severe- ly disastrous and costly winter may be influential in that direction. Effects of Long War. Should the war continue indefinite- 1y, it will have a twofold effect. At first it would mean a prolonged de- mand upon the United States for war materials and food products, such as has been experienced for the past six months. Temporarily we should gain by such a result, but eventually we should lose by a long war and it would be dangerous self-deception to expect that the United States could permanently profit by a struggle end- ed only by exhaustion. Although this country will undoubtedly ‘feel the harmful effects of the war less than any other, and will actually benefit in some respects, we cannot hope to avert the reflex action of destruction of millions of men and billions of property, the present cost of the war being at the rate of about $30,000,- 000,000 a year. When the war is over we may secure some temporary ad- vantage by selling machinery, con- structive materials, etc., to fill the gap until the devasted regions are able to supply themselves; but subsequently our exports must be affected adversely by an inevitably diminished buying power of all the belligerents. As to imports, it is hardly likely there will be such extensive dumping as feared, for the simple reason that Europc will have little surplus for export. «nd for some time after the war labor in the belligerent countries will ke large- ly drawn into reconstruction work, while the wastage of capital must re- strain foreign wcuterprise for years to come. FOdllowing the war a severe struggle for recovery of the world’'s markets must be expected between Germany and Great Britain. That contingency, however, is some di tance away, and during the interval the United States has a splendid op- portunity for securing a foothold in foreign markets, which it is not over- looking and which if properly de- veloped will be an important outlet for our rapidly expanding industrial energies. Both Gains and Losses. Evidently, therefore, a prolonged war will have both its gains and its losses for the United States. Should the war come to an earlier end than expected, especially in view of rum- ored peace movements, the results would be vastly better for us than its continuance. We might lose some profitable war contracts, but on the other hand we should gain infinitely more by the stoppage of waste and the restoration of normal activities before the much-dreaded international ex- haustion set in; not to speak of a higher motive for peace, which is to stop the awful carnage that is drench- ing Europe in blood. With the com- ing of peace a new set of problems will have to be met. Our financial de- mobilization would be in order, and ! many industries which have suffered by the struggie would be permitted to return to their normal relations, a vastly more encouraging outlook than the inflationary profits from war orders, which thoroughly demoralize capital and labor alike. Improvements at Home. Home conditions show further fm- provement. Railroad traffic is stead- ily expanding, the number of idle cars has dwindled to a minmum and in some case$ there is actual famina, due to the congestion of traffic. The latter, however, is partly owing to the scarcity of ocean tonnage, the war having withdrawn or destroyed about one-quarter, or 10,000,000 tons, of the world's shipping. Trade in the West shows considerable expansion, particularly in the wholesale dry goods establishments; new building exhibits a decided revival, and the steel trade continues upon its unex- ampled boom. Our exports also con- tinue on a large, though somewhat diminished scale: The foreign ex- change situation has been greatly im- proved, due to the placing of exten- sive foreign credits and the opera- tion of the $500,000,000 Anglo-French ioan which served to offset the pres- sure of commercial bills upon the market. This country is undoubtedly still a creditor nation in the large sense of the term, but a tremendous change has taken place in this re- spect. Some months ago it was es- timated that the amount of foreign capital invested in this country was about $5,000,000,000. Since the war began between $200,000,000 and $300- 000,000 of securities have been re- turned; we have taken the Anglo- ¥rench loan of $500,000,000; made very considerable loans to Russia, Italy, Argentina, Canada, and other countries, besides establishing big credits to England, Russia, Italy, etc,, so that in one form or another. we have advanced Europe consider- ably over $1,000,000,000 since the be- France, Represented by E.

This seems like a big sum, but when thinking of war it appears to be necessary to talk in billions instead of millions as form- erly. Large as the sums advanced may be our lending abilities have by no means reached their” limit, and our foreign obligations have been ma- terially diminished Profit Taking Lowers Prices, There has been further hesitancy in the upward movement, chiefly ow- ing to continued liquidation. The re- cent phenomenal rise was naturaily | followed by extensive profit taking among early buyers. Many of these realizations were made at higher than exist today, and new buy- -rs were readily in evidence; so the general market still wears a healthy aspect, the technical position having been considerably improved by the reduction of a somewhat excessive long interest. Attention has been more or less diverted from the war stocks to railroads and industrials which naturally move more slowly and less spectacularly than the high- ly sensitized war group. The invest- ment demand continues active; hav- ing absorbed large sums of high grade bonds which are showing a consider- able hardening in values. In two weeks congress will open and public attention will probably be concen- trated upon the solution of such prob- lems as preparedness, public revenue, shipping, tariff, etc. Many of the old issues which were of a depressing nature have been completely over- shadowed by the war. The nation is thinking more deeply than at any time since the Civil war. Public opinion is less hostile to capital, a fact which removes a depressing in- flience of long standing. The rail- roads, it should also be remembered, are carrying a big traffic at better rates than formerly, the results for October and November promising to be exceptionally satisfactory. HENRY CLEWS. LONDON BENEFITS BY “NO TREATING” estrictive Ordinance Checks Drunk- enness in World’s Metropolis Es- pecially Among Women. London, Nov. 14—Official police ap- proval is given to the no-treating or- dinance in a report from the head- quarters of the Metropolitan police on its workings from October 11 (when it went into effect) to Novem- ber 1. The police report generally that less drink is being sold, fewer people visit the saloons ,and those who do stay for a shorter time than before, and there is less drunken- ness, especially among women. The crdinance is being punctually ob- scrved, the police say, in all the 12,000 licensed places in the London area. The report says, in par: “There is a consensus of opinion among the superintendents of all di- visions that drunkenness generally, and among women in particular, has decreased. “A marked diminution in the num- ber of women and children standing outside public houses drinking has been noticed ,and in many districts the practice has ceased altogether. “Police have ivariably found fewer people on licensed premises and a tendency to make shorter stays has been observed. “Practically no breaches of order have occurred, and licenses and their 50 shs AMERICAN HARDWARE 50 shs STANLEY WORKS 50 shs NEW BRITAIN MACHINE 50 shs LANDERS, FRA. 50 shs UNION MFG.
