One of the most extreme coats this season, both in design and In mttbination of materials, is this one which Paul Poiret has named the "cynge" or ffwan. It is of white silk velour and black velvet, with trimmings of teh. The velour is set on the short yoke of velvet in well defined cartridge plaits across the front and back; the huge velvet sleeves are set in well above the waist line. The cuffs are wide so that they are most practical to transform into ruffs. The cuffs may he turned back if one prefers, or , pulled down well over the hands.

NFLUEIGE OF PEACE

ON STOCK MARKET Henry Clews' Banking House in Weekly Resume of Financial Operations for The Times.

(Special to Thu Times.) NTAV YORK. tee. 24. Stock markot cperatlons have been governed entirely by peace possibilities. The frank de!ra' of Germany for peace has been freely admitted; while the unwillingef the Allies to grant peace unon any terms which Germany would likeJy accept was equally recognized, and ths possibility of peace therefore appears to be still remote. JJr. Wilson's attempt to hasten proceedings by asking the belligerents to name their teams may prove to be of some influence, or It may not The Secretary of States outspoken tatement about this country's exposed condition brought to the front a nenr situation which pToved seriously confusing !n the stock market. The war stocks received a sharp blow on belief that their extraordinary profits had reached their high point and must in future decline. If not altogether top before many months expire. Inside selling. profit taking, forced liquidation, powerful bear raids, and discrimination by banks against such stocks as collateral served to intensify ihe decline, which at times reached the point of positive demoralization. The situation was further mystified by activities here on German account. Among these was the announced preparation of the two great German transatlantic steamship lines to resume ' service upon short notice, if necessary. German exchange advanced sharply.. The point of view regarding the war lias completely changed. All minds are now turned towards peace; hence the collapse and semi-panic in many of the industrials on the Stock Exchange. The decline, however, was chiefly the result of an overbought market, which induced fresh caution in banking circles, a sharp calling in of loans and forced liquidation of weakly margined accounts. The severe fall in many shares would seem to be unreasonable and out of all proportion to changes in intrinsic conditions or values. Succes on part of the bears made them exceedingly aggressive, and their raids resulted in shifting large amounts of stocks from -weak into strong hands. The railroad outlook la promising, earnings both gross and net showing very encouraging gains. Traffic continues heavy, and the scarcity of c. though less acute, is still an impediment which cannot be effectually dea't with until the supply is increased or traffic diminished. Much noro concern was felt ovr Mr. Iansing's intimations that this country was drawing nearer to the "verge of war" owing to the persistant interference of foreisn powers with the rights f neutrals. The alarm which this caused had much to do with the semi-panic which occurred on Thursday afternoon, and the decline was only partly checked by the mora assuring explanations which cama from the same source later in the day. Whether the liquidations has DliiVE AYAY HEADACHE Rub Masterole on Forehead and Temples A headache remedy without the dangers of "headache medicine."

VELOUR AND VELVET

run its course or not is difficult to say at this writing. Some weak spot? which successful bears may be temped to uncover still remain. On the other hand the speculative situation has been greatly improved by the recent liquidation; there has been much good buying at the lower level and tnany desirable stocks are selling really below intrinsic values. The drop in prices since the present fail in values began about a month ago when I commenced to urge caution and discrimination in the selection or btocks to buy. Since which the fall in prices has been unusual, and that no serious consequences have followed is substantial proof of general soundness In the financial situation. Strictly war industrials will, of course, oe In more or less disfavor from now on. even if peace is deferred. For the better class of industrials not dependent upon war profits there is a good outlook, because of generaly satisfactory business conditions. The most promising division of the market, however, at this time is the railroad section, based upon better prospects in this industry, and the fact that these shares have been neglected through the overshadowing speculation in industrials, as well as foreign selling and the familiar obstacles against which they have had to contend for over a decade. Xow that the railroads are sharing the country's prosperity, they are likely to come more into favor among buyers and recover a share of their former activity. There Is no doubt that speculation for the rise in the war industrials had been carried to precarious proportions. Warnings of caution went unheeded and the inevitable collapse came promptly when the minds and desires of the warring nations turned from war to peace. This episode of the market is probably closed, for henceforth the worl-i will be headed for peace, not destruction and organized murder.

Officers Gorman and Soloman immediately responded and upon investigation found that Andrew Bedish. 4S07 Alexander avenue, had been badly' cut with a knife by Thornton "Wells, 4904 Alexander avenue. Bedish had a deep wound about five inches long which extended from the left temple to the chin across the cheek, a bad cut over the lower part of the bridge of his nose, and two smaller cuts on his face, and other injuries. Dr. Townsley was called and the wounds dressed. He was rushed to the hospital, where he now is and repprted as suffring considerably. His condition is not serious, however, unless an infection sets in. Wells, Bedish, Frank Keal. 4S0 Vernon avenue, Frank Basso, 4S07 Alexander avenue, and Joe Beres of the same address, were in Alexander's saloon when Wells and Basso got into an argument regarding another man present mho was greatly intoxicated. Bedish, who is known as a "bully" and who has been engaged in a number of similar cases, sided with Bassos and finally he and Wells were in it hemselves. For about one and one-half years Wells and Bedish have been, on ill terms and when the argument started Bedish decided to "get even." In self-defense Wells drew the above mentioned knife but with no intention to kill. Wells is now under arrest and Attorney J. A. Meade is pleading his case. RECEIVES TRAGIC .

POLICE RUSHED WITH RIOT CALLS The East Chicago police department has been over-rushed with riot calls It Works! Try It Tells how to loosen a sore, tender corn so It lifts cut without pain. Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispensing freezone, the ether discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out witn the fingers. Ask any pharmacy for a quarter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts oMt without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue. This discovery will prevent thousands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns. Adv.
