WEEK IN TRADE
New York—Pun's review today sava:
•'Healfancy In entering upon new com*
mllmenta continues and a spirit of cau
tion Is manifest everywhere, vet the
confident feeling In business circles Is
maintained. Sentiment la strengthened
by developments In the financial situa
tion, a favorable Impression being
created by the further Improvement in
foreign exchange and the action taken
to meet maturing obligations atgoad.
Considerable gold already has been ship
ped to Canada for this purpose and It Is
evident that banking Interests here are
trying actively to restore more nearly
normal monetary conditions. The jge-
vailing high rates for accommodations
still exert a restraining influence upon
trade expansion, but moderate progress
Is noted In various leading lines, es
pecially in the eastern and western sec
tions of the country. .
“Failures this week ,ln the United
States were 384, compared with 228; in
Canada 55, against 20 last year. Bank
clearings, $2,067,000, a decrease of 26.7
from last year.

WANTS INQUIRY
BY AMERICANS
Suggestion That Three Jurists
of High Distinction Investi
gate Charges Against Ger
mans
London, 12:45 a. m. —An inquiry by
American jurists Into the allegations
of German disregard of the rules of
civilized warfare is suggested today by
the Weekly Spectator.
“Undoubtedly American jurists
would command most general confi
dence," The Spectator says. “We can
not ask President Wilson or the Amer
ican government to appoint such a
committee of inquiry. They would
naturally be afraid of annoying the
German government by so doing and
of imperilling that strict neutrality
which they desire to maintain in the
case of the German empire.
"We do not see, however, why the
French, British and Belgian govern
ments should not privately invite three
American jurists of high distinction to
undertake the work.
“President Wilson could hardly for
bid Americans to conduct such an in
quiry.”

FOR ANTARCTIC
London. —Sir Ernest Shackleton and
the members of his trans-Antarctic
expedition left Londay today in two
sections for the South Polar region.
One party, headed by Sir Ernest, de
parted for South America; the other
half of the expedition left for Ross sea,
on the New Zealand side of the Ant
arctic, by way of Tasmania.
Sir Ernest hopes to meet the Ross
sea contingent in April of next year,
Chauncey and His Whiskers Have Return*
Safely; French Mistook Him For
Englishman and Cheered
New York. —Chauncey M. Depew arrived from Liverpool on the Ba
tic yesterday.
"I was in Geneva when the trouble began.” he said. “One mornin
I went to the bank and found I could get no money. I told Mrs. Dcpev.
and her sister, who was with us. that something was pending, and tha
we had two hours to get a train. We got the train. It was the last tha
left Switzerland for three weeks.
“Twenty minutes after crossing the border into Prance we stopper
at a station and there was a sign there about two feet square calling the
troops for mobilization. The station agent said the notice had been about
twenty minutes. We picked up ti.cn Joining the colors on the way to
Paris until our train could hold no more. Whenever I stuck my head out
into a corridor the soldiers would set up a cheer on seeing my side whis
kers. They mistook me for an Englishman and cried in French 'long lival
the entente cordial.’
“We stayed In Paris a week and then left for Boulogne. We were
obliged to crowd into a coach as host we could. I sat on the running
board all the way.”
