BRITISH TAXES
War Burdens Uncomplainingly
Accepted---In Normal Times
Would Have Overthrown
Strongest Governments.
London.—England is accepting it#
new burden of taxation with a stoicism
which could only bo bred of war con
ditions. *in normal times the an
nouncement of David Lloyd-George's
latest budget would have caused a
storm that would Ivave overthrown the
strongest government and probably
ten years of cautious advance would
not have prepared the people fur such
radical increases in the burden of tax
ation. Even the half-penny tax on a
glass of beer would likely have caused
the death of half a dozen governments
and the doubling of the Income tax
would have met with the fiercest op
position.
Hut war changes all things and not
the least astonishing thing Is the plan
seriously proposed by Arthur Hender
son, labor leader In the house of com
mons, and acquiesced by the chan
cellor of the exchequer, that working
men’s wages be taxed to replace Indi
rect taxes, such as the tea and sugar
duties which now fallH so heavily and
unevenly on the working class. An
Income tax on wages and the free
breakfast table has long been a battle

sition would scarcely have been seri

George Wilson in Primrose and Wilson's Minstrels, at Wie
Grand Tonight.
TODAY’S WAR SUMMARY
England is confronted with the necessity of energetic action according
to advices today from Berlin, to protect her interests in 'the near east. A
report from Cairo to Berlin is to the effect that the movement against
British forces In Egypt has assumed formidable proportions, 76,000 Turk
ish troops being on the march toward the Suez Canal. In the hostile
army, opposed by long lines of British forces in trenches, it Is said there
are 10,000 Bedouins.
Interest attaches to this report chiefly of the recent proclamation of
the sultan of Turkey calling upon Mohammedans the world over to rise to
arms against Great Britain and the other members of the triple entente.
Thus far there have been no indications that the proclamation has led to
uprising affecting British interests elsewhere, although on several occa
sions there have been reports from Berlin of dissension in India.
The destruction of a Germman battleship is reported in Paris. The
Wilhelm tier Grosse is said to have been sunk by a mine in the Baltic but
there was no confirmation of the report.
An official communication from the Russian army of the Caucasus
tells of further heavy fighting by the Russian forces which have invaded
Turkey but gives no indication of the outcome.
The situation in Russian Poland was as much of a mystery as ever.
Private dispatches from Petrograd make further statements that Russia
has overwhelmed the Germans but they are not confirmed officially.
Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander, reports successes in
several engagements, but say* nothing to indicate a decisive blow has
been struck.
On the western battlefields there was continued icalnf. The British
fleet is said to have resinned bombardment of German positions on the
Belgian coast. Along the front the fighting apparently was limited to
• small skirmishes.
What Raleigh, N. C., Thought ot Primrose and
Wilson; Declared They Are Great
The following is what a Raleigh ex
change has to say of Primrose and
Wilson’s Minstrels, which appear here
today, matinee and evening:
Raleigh showed its loyalty to two
old friends on Saturday, when the
theatre, afternoon and evening, had
IheHwo liygest houses that have greet
ed Primrose and Wilson’s Minstrels
all season.
The show Is a corker, pure minstrel
sy from beginning to end, and the en
tertainment is of the most amusing
character, while the music Is the best
Very appropriately, the advent ot
Messrs. Primrose and Wilson is her
alded by the tune of “Auld Lang
Syne.”
The opening part is called a temple
of mirth and melody, and is well
named, during which appear such ster
ling artists as George Primrose, George
Wilson, ’Happy Jack” Lambert, Ed
die Coe, H. Hoddy Wilcox, Billy Sands,
F. L. Grimley, Ray Harrlgan, Jack
Weir, Joe Hill, Dick Rarton, Harry
Horton, Steve Kenton, comedians, and
Lawrence J. Williamson, Fred C.
Holmes, Win. C. Havne, O. Sidney,
Thomas Aalton, Walter Remington, H.
W. Robinson, Jack Bliss, L. M. Flah
erty, Edward Neary, Newton Jones
Franklin Carlysle and Howard Ben
der, vocalists.
Under the able guidance of Harry
F. Slevers as Interlocutor, or the cen
terpiece, as one of the comedians call
ed him, tho dialogue is swift and
funny.
Tlie Yap band is excruciating, and
the uet of Eddie Coe and Harry Creve
evokes much laughter.
Mr. Primrose headed an act where
theve was the most beautiful exposi
tion of dancing imaginable. In phy
sique. as in heart, he is a young man.

he was three score If he did not ad
vertise himself as a veteran.
Lovers of old songs and negro mel
ody got a rare treat in tffe act en
titled “Old Home Week in Coontown,"
which wound up with a Mississippi
cabaret.
To many the feature of the show
was the appearance of George Wilson,
the famous monologue artist, a posi
tion in which he is supreme. Mellow
and keen, he strikes at the foibles of
humanity with sharp thought but in
kindly fashion. George Wilson’s mono
logues have been famous for years,
and he has gotten off many good ones,
but none better, if any equal, to the
present one, a suffragette speech, in
which he starts by hailing the audi
ence as "suffering sisters," and advises
them to make all the trouble they can,
as "That is what we women are for.”
The company left Raleigh yester
day for a tour of the South, where its
melody and fun are sure to be ap
preciated to the limit. Thev were
pleased with the reception Raleigh
gave them, and promised to keep this
burg on their itinerary.

THE N. Y.' STOCK!
EXCHANGE OPEN
Trading Begins For First Time
Since July 30th Last---Cheers
As the Gong Sounds.
New York. —The New York Stock Ex
change resumed operations in a tentative
way today, for the first time since July
30th last, when the foreign situation,
caused the cessation of business of all
the leading financial markets of the
world. Trading was restricted to bonds
so( which, in all instance, minimum
prices were established.
All transactions were for cash and
every effort was made to exclude for
eign selling. The attendance on the floor
of the exchange when the gong sounded
at 10 o’clock wds unusually large. The
sound brought cheers from the brokers.
Thereafter business went on in the usual
orderly fashion.
The first transaction recorded was the
sale of five bonds of the United States
Steel Corporation at 0934, a decline of
H 4, apparently was limited to sma.l
skirmishes from the closing prices on
July 30th. The next transaction was
the sale of five bonds of Distillers Se
curities 5s at 56, an advance of 3V4. Then
followed the sale of a single Chesapeake
& Ohio bond at a decline of 16, with
later offerings of small amounts of such
issues as Southern Pacific converti
bles, Ray Consolidated 6s, St. Paul Gen
eral Mortgage 4Vfcs, and Northern Paci
fic 4s. These showed declines ranging
from a substantial fraction in Southern
Pacific to 3% points in Ray Consili
dated.
There were other sales of steel and
distillers and the issues already named
at declines from the first recorded
prices. The total amount of business
If or the first fifteen minutes of the ses
sion $123,000, par value.
The largest single transaction was the
sale of 20 St. Paul General Mortgage
4Hs at a decline of 214.
After the first fifteen minutes trading
lapsed into extreme dullness with a mix
ture of grains and losses. tit. Paul
convertible 4Hs were up to lMs while
Southern Pacific convertible 4’s gained
44, and Central Leather s's rose Vic. In
United States government issues bid
prices were down ono to two points,
with an actual sale of registered 4's at
a decline of 1%.
Selling pressure about which there had
been so much apprehension did not ap
pear during the first hour, much to the
satisfaction of the financial district.
Many brokers said they had commis
sions to buy five or six bonds against
every one they had to sell.
A sub-committee of three of the com
mittee of five sat at tables close to the
bond platform for the purpose of fixing
minimum prices for inactive bonds or
making any changes which might be
come necessary in the announced mini
mum quotations of active issues.
Declines were recorded in the final
hour, Lorillard 5s and 7s falling 2% and
4%, respectively while Southern Rail
way 4s broke 6 points, Seaboard Air
Line adjustments 9 points and Wabash
first 5>4, Atchison General 4s dropped
IV4 and Erie General 4%@2%- Minor
recessions were made by Burlington
joint 4s and Reading 4s while_ Lake
Shore debentures of 1931 broke 1%.
The heavy losses sustained by such is
sues as Seaboard. Southern Railway and
Wabash indicated that the authorities
of the exchange had virtually removed
ail price restrictions in the more ob
sure bonds. Among the few additional
gains were Bethlehem Steel ss, 14s. Am
erican. Telephone and Telegraph Con
vertibles 1%, New York Railway adjust
ment ss, 2%, Brooklyn Transit fs, 1%,
Texas Company Convertibles. 6s, IV4;
and Rock Island collateral 4s 1%.
The total business for the session
amounted to $644,000. par value with $5,-
000 in government bonds.
NEW YORK COTTON
New York. —The cotton market was
very quiet today and business seemed to
he largely in the way of switching be
tween months, or evening up for over
the week-end. Liverpool was a point or
two under expectations and the local
opening was two to four points lower
while prices worked some four to five
points under Inst night’s closing figures
during early trading. This probably
reflected scattering liquidation after tho
advance of yesterday by the undertone
was steady and the early news suggest

a seller which tvas though to be hedge
selling. New Orleans was also reported

Gwathmey, Hicks and Geer sold; Ray,
McFadden and Parrott bought May;

May but sold October.
There was no new feature to the
morning trading only the brokers repre
senting spot houses were noticeable
buyers of March and May and sold Oc
tober. There was nothing of conse
quence In December.
It Is hard to form any Idea of the
course of the market Just now, but sen
timent seems favorable to purchases on
all soft spots.—Anderson.
