Novelty Gone. A trip from Vienna to the Galician front Is not as exciting or even In teresting as one think. The war huH lasted long enough here to have lost the quality of novelty. Ev erywhere one sees signs of confidence. In the larger and smaller cities build ing operations are going on; husky peasants, men and women alike, plow the field or harvest the sugar beet, potato or other later crops, and the active railroad traffic Is only In part of a military character. Red Cross Trains. Almo*t the only reminder of war Is an occasional Red Cross train go ing to or returning from the front. There Is, however, a rather lively mili tary passenger traffic on the regular trains and ofle notice* that all bridges, tunnels and stations are guarded hy soldier*.

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 cry of tax reformers tint such a propo sition would scarcely have been seri ously proposed In the house of com mons In normal times.

E : ‘;-'z£a - ■ 1 i ■■■ - - I 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. good for many more years of enter tainment. In fact, nobody would think Scene From "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” at the Grand, Matinee and Evening, Friday, Dec. 4th. 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. NAVAL STORES Savannah, Ga.—Turpentine firm, 45c; sales ; receipts 495.

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.
