The distance that Charles W. Morse
has travelled toward the rehablllatlon of
his financial prestige since he left Atlanta
penitentiary two years ago shorn of
every vestige of financial power Is In
dicated In a Sherman law damage suit
filed against him In the United States Dis

being tho head of the conspiracy to

shipments of grains, food products, oil
and Considerable copper through Scan
dinavian countries. It was said yesterday
In shipping clrlces that Germany Is pre
paring to Import from here through neu
tral Kuropean countries a large number
of horses.
The unprecedented weakness In lerman
mark exchange In this market Is accepted
as the most convincing sign that Oermany
Is hard pressed financially and that she
Is being forced to extend her strongest
financial resources to purchase heavy sup
plies In the shape of foodstuffs and other
necessities of life In neutral foreign mar
kets. Rankers of Independent thought, as
well as those of German connections and
smpathles, nre unable to explain defi
nitely the causes for the weakness of
mark exchange. The fall has been pre
cipitous, marks declining from 95 In the
week preceding the war to 914 on Octo
ber 9, the low point of the decline, a loss
of almost 4 per cent. Single mark notes
were sold as low as 22, against parity of
23.5, a loss of over 7 per cent.

Theso heavy declines In the Price nf
clslvely In the driving down of the ex
change rate. Kear of the outcome In the
event of German defeat caused the heavy
seinng movement in exchange which cul
minated In the low point of a week ago. I
That Germany 'has not been more i
vitally hard pressed In finances sooner '
than the present. It was pointed out hy a
banking authority close to Kuropean af
fairs, may be partly accounted for by
the fact that preliminary to the war her 1
bankers were exceedingly active In Lon
don and also In Paris, stlllng their hills.
With the cash credits thus put In her
possession. It Is said, Oermany was en
abled to bid for and obtain largn amounts
of the South African gold offered weekly
In the London market. This gold went
Into her war chest and to build up the
Hank of Germary's gold reserve to the
remarkable proportions of gain It as
sumed In the first half of the year.
Kerry Market, which Is open to the sky,
had a mighty damp time of It. Several consummated this ambition by means of a

Tho amount of hills thus sold, It Is an

as KOn.Ono.OOO. The starting of the war

charges Morse wltV- running "fighting

Its business. These flghtlne boats, the
complal-t asserts, were scheduled and

for the' f'ndav.t company and were purposely run

the filing of the dissolution decree In the
New Haven case, that the railroad had
devested Itself of at least one of Its sub
sidiary companies In accordance with the
Government's demands even before the

This particular subsidiary Is the East

ganized In December, 1911, to take over
the Metropolitan Steamship Company, on

New York and Iloston ; the Maine Steam

which controlled four line running be

his vle.lt on tho hlotter at 3:50 V. M,
Then Peabody came in and registered
himself In a blank space above tho Com

The Car for All Weather
Rain or shine, in fair days and stormy, the
Chalmers "Light Six" Coupelct is instantly at
your service. You can convert it from a smart
roadster to an enclosed car, and vice versa, in
two minutes.
This Chalmers model is an economical car
because it saves you the expense of purchasing
two bodies, one for summer and one for winter.
Its economy extends also to its cost of operation;
for like all Chalmers models, this "Light Six"
Coupelct is properly balanced, riot so light as to
be flimsy, not so heavy as to be ponderous in
operation and excessive in fuel and tire charge.
With top up. the Chalmers "Light Six".
Coupelet is as luxuriously comfortable as a per
manently closed coupe. The windshield is built
integral with the front of the body.
With glasses raised, the doors are identically
like those on the regular types of enclosed cars.
The doors are flush fitting and with the glass
windows set down deeply into the doors make the
cor both weather and draft-proof. At the same
time, the Coupelet body is considerably lighter
in weight than most permanent coupe types.
This Chalmers model has a style seldom
found in even the highest priced cars. Its tap
ered motor bonnet, genuine molded oval fenders,
streamline body, clear running boards, flush fit
ting doors, and rich, dignified trimmings, give
an appearance of class that bespeaks both
efficiency and comfort.
Take your first opportunity to
come in and see this "Light Six"
Coupelet.
