Bradstreet's Report Shows Nation Is Prosperous Regardless. of War Trade is flourishing throughout the country and industry could not be more active, according to Bradstreet's for Nov. 3. The success of the second Liberty Loan assures vast expendi- tures for some time to come. The tre- mendous buying campaign that the government will carry on, which will be the greatest ever witnessed in the history of any country, overshadows everything else. But ordinary buying shows a good volume, especially at centers near army cantonments. Re- tail trade in general has improved with the coming of cold weather, al- though prices continue high. Labor is scarce, and output tenids to be restricted in the non-essential' things. The industries showing most quiet production are the automobile factories of pleasure cars, and ordi- nary building. Crops are somewhat uncertain, ow- ing to the capricious weather. The West and Southwest report loss of a wheat crop, because of lack of rain. The corn belt reports too much rain, which is delaying the crop. The new moist corn is selling at low prices. Potatoes and beans were not thor- oughly harvested before the cold set in, which will reduce these products. October bank clearings broke all records, according to Bradstreet's. There were fewer failures the last week of October than for the same week last year, or se ral years pre- ceeding. Money is firm, the Liberty Loan payments apparently creating little strain. Dasiteteers roia Initial Practice Coach Mitchell Gives His Men Chance at Basket Shooting and Light Scrimmage Coach Mitchell gave his Varsity basketball candidates their first regu- lar practice last night at Waterman gymnasium. Five new men appeared,for places on the squad and this brought the total up to 50. The coach changed his plans some- what with regard to the division of his squad. Instead of working with three groups as originally planned the bask- etball mentor has split his men into two groups and will give each squad a 45-minute workout. This, Mitchell explained last night, will give him a chance to get a line on the ability of ,most of the men. Practice started last night with trials for basket. For five minutes all the men in the first squad were caging them from all parts of the court. Then pick-up teams from this group engaged in a five-minute game. The game procedure was followed in prac- tice for the second group. This program will be maintained for a few weeks until the coach gets better acquainted with the men. Then he will perfect another division of the squad into groups of men according to their ability. No cut will be made, however before the end of the month. Mitchell followed the work of some of the men in the interclass contest.; last year and has an opinion on the ability of some of the candidates. Hewlett and Clark, both candidates for all-campus second team honors last year, have reported for practice. Shel- ley, Lowe, McClintock, Weathers, Edi- son and Brown were given honorable mention last year and have put in an appearance for the Varsity., Others who starred in the interclass contests and who are candidates for berths on the team are: Rychener, Bartz and Van Boven. Rowley, Bornstein, Ruzika, Later and Daines were not in the interclass games last year but have had a good deal of prep. school experience. *, '5F t5 AT THE THEATERS TODAY Garrick, Detroit - San Carlo Grand Opera Company.

TO RECEIVE GERMAN GOODS BOUGHT BEFORE WAR I . Special six weeks subscription to . . { r ti tttt 43ttitU 75c Washington, Nov. 7.-Large quan- tities of German and Austrian made goods bought by American importers before the United States entered the war, which have been detained at Rot- terdam because the British govern- ment refused them free passage, will soon be released. This was brought about by agreement between the gov- ernments of the United States and the Netherlands.with the consent of Great Britain. These goods are valued at $1,725,030 and 116 American firms are directly benefited. The goods consist of toys, Christmas novelties, and scientific in- struments. , In its final note to the United States, the British government said it would offer no further objection to the ship- ment of German and Austrian pro- ducts purchased by American import- ers before April 7, 1917. containing all the notices and news campus. officia l of the I ' _ 1 6 1l r i t )i Ed.

Dickinson, colored phy- sician of Ypsilanti, is being sued for. divorce by his wife on the grounds of infidelity and ill treatment. She names as correspondent a cer- tain young colored student attending the Michigan State Normal school, re- siding in Ann Arbor. As evidence of her husband's cruelty toward her she states that he repeatedly beat, choked, and abused her. Mrs. Dickinson asks the court to set aside sufficient of her husband's income as alimony.

Reimer induced Edward Lohr to sign a supposed certificate of identi- fication July 19. The paper was found to be a note for $150. Among the notables to be heard dur- ing the Detroit engagement of the San Carlo Grand Opera company this week, are Marcella Graft, the distin- guished American prima donna, for five years leading soprano of the Roy- al Opera, Munich. She will have two appearances, singing "Faust" tonight, and "La Traviata"' at the Saturday matinee. Salazar, the sensational Spanish tenr, Mary Kaestner, dra- matic saprano; Edvidge Vacarri, the Italian coloratura; Louisa Darclee, lyric soprano; Sigmon Giuseppe Agostini, dramatic tenor; and the two distinguished bassos, Signors Pie- tro vDe Biasi and Natale, as well as a number of equally well known stars, are included in the company. Two of Italy's famous maestros, Signor Carlo Peroni and Signor Ama- deo Barducci, are directing the per- formances, which are scheduled as follows for the remainder of the week: Today, "Faust;" Friday, "Jewels of the Madonna;" Saturday mattinee, "La Traviata;" and Saturday evening, "Il Trovatore," with Salazar as Man- rico. AT THE MAJESTIC "Paradise Valley," the beautiful and tuneful musical show, will be the of- fering at the Majestic for the remain- der of the week. The cast is made up of nine members. The show has a chorus numbering 12. The music is attractive and the song, "She's Just .a Little Angel," is especially featured. The costumes are wonderful in design and the production is most unusual from a scenic point of view; while Ed. Crawford as Jotham Ford, Inn- keeper, and Charles Morgan, as the village undertaker, furnish abundant humor. Norris M. Bryant, '20, has reported to the police that a desk lamp was stolen from his room at 603East Madison avenue Tuesday evening.

Rounding the corner of Washington and Division streets on their bicy- eles, Tuesday night, two boys, sons of Mr. and Mrs. H. Keuhn of 620 Hill street, were struck by a machine driven by J. C. Parker. Mr. Parker took the boys to the Homeopathic hos- pital immediately after the accident, where their injuries were found to be slight. The boys were cared for and taken to their home.
