Lord Davenport's Warning!
Not To Be Taken Too Ser-
inuclv kowc Fvnort
By J. W. T. Mason.
(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Nov. 11. Lord Daven
port 's warning to the house of lords
that Britain will come to bankruptcy if
the present finnncinl pace is maintoin-
cd should not be tuken too seriously.
Finuiices of all the belligereuts, as a
matter of fact, are disquieting, chief
ly from the enormous taxes which ac
accumulating debts will impose.
Knglund 's bankruptcy is still very
distant. In fact, tho lord himself
pointed out that the next loan, and the
next might bo met, though he expressed
fear for some of tho later ones. It is
probable that Davenport's fear is not
that Great Brituin will repudiate her in
debtedness but that the wealthy must
pay taxes to prevent bankruptcy, Lab
orites regard Davenport as one of tho
leading reactionaries.
Lord Northcliffo recently snid that
aftor tho war the poor of England will
be richer, and tho rich poorer.
As a mntter of rfact, a certain class
of millionaires are beginning to revolt
at tho costliness of the war. They
realize tho permanent consequences to
their bank accounts. This may compel
governmental economy, and at the same
time, their discomriture may prove to
bo a great factor toward forcing peaco.

Slackening of Activity

New York, Nov. 11. During consid

stock market, there were more signs of
slackening activity than for mnny
weeks. The total transactions wero
still large, compared even to tho "big

dullness were occasional. Ordinarily
this is to be expected after a violent
speculative boom.
Taken ns n whole, the market ad
vanced moderately in the early hours
but gave way slightly, atferward. Homo
industrial shares indulged in rapid ad

no bearing on the general situation.
