AMERICAN CAR AND FOUNDRY EARNINGS
The falling off in earnings Of the American Car
and Foundry Company In the four months ended
August 81 was due to the fact that comparison was
with a period in the preceding year when the COM
pany did the largest business since it organ
lied. In fact, the business in the four months last
year was unprecedented. and expected that
for that period the great showing would be
made this year. Furthermore, during July and
August this year the heat intense in the
southwestern part of this country, where most of
the company's plants are situated. that il ut
terly impossible for the men to work to advantage,
and this resulted in considerable curtailment of
output. Again. the company greatly delayed
by reason of the strike during July and August
it prevented receipts of steel for which the
pany had contracted and this put it behind in Its
work. The fact remains that the company is in
better shape to-day than 1t year ago; it has
on its books about double the amount of orders
that IT had last year at this time.

The advance is equivalent TO 1-16 per for the

that the receipts OF commercial bills still far

GERMANS ARE ANGRY
BRITISH AT LAST AWAKE TO THIS
FACT.
Il DUE TO CHAMBERLAIN.
HIS ILI4-TIMED REMARKS HAVE
RAISED A STORM.

North German Gazette Takes Notice
OF Prevailing German Sentiment.
The British Papers Now Filled
With Comment, Protest Against
and Criticism of the German Posi-
tiOn-ChamberIain's New Imperial
ism Leaves Britain without a
Friend, Says Daily Post.
Berlin. Nov. 21.--Fresh offense
against Mr.. Chamberlain, the British
colonial secretary, has been taken in
Germany over an open letter repro
duced here in which Mr.. Chamberlain
alludes to the "so-called agitation in
Germany, so evidently artificial and
entirely based on Misrepresentation of
my speech" and says that he does not
propose to notice it, but that mo SEN
sible German could be affronted by
my words justifying British action in
the Transvaal"
The North German Gazette, semi-of-
fetal, hitherto silent on the subject,
to-day denounces Mr.. Chamberlain
original utterances at Edinburgh as in
considerable and offensive, but consid-
ers them to have been modified by the
letter. The paper exhorts the army
not to be affected or persuaded into
Joining in the agitation, and deprecates
official notice being taken of the unof-
ficial utterances of a foreign cabinet
minister.

sentiment. He is firmly convinced that
he is the chosen of the Lord. In the
summer of 1900. during the Chinese
| troubles, he preached sermon one
Sunday morning on board the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern. The officers and
sailors of that ship were his only con-
gregation, but the sermon was intended
for the world at large. and has been
printed in many languages A very good
sermon it was, too. Rev DR.. Dickie
pastor of the American church in
Berlin, translated it into English.
Text of an Emperor.
The subject was 1.-THE Duty and
Power of Intercession." The text was
from Exodus xvii. IL, And it came
to pass when Moses held up his hand
Israel prevailed, and when he let down
his hand Amalek prevailed" The idea
running through the discourse was
that the people OF Germany should
pray for devine support and interces-
sion in behalf of the Christians of
China, in order that the kingdom Of
God might be advanced and civiliza-
ton promoted. 1t was an acknowledg-
ment of his dependence and reliance
upon divine power, of his belief in the
efficacy of prayer and his confidence
that the Eternal Jehovah was on the
side of Germany and the other Chris
tian nations during the Chinese diff
culties.
Court Preachers Kept Busy.
The Emperor frequently selects texts
for the court preachers. He is in the
habit of sending them word on Friday
or Saturday that he would like to
have a sermon on this subject or that
usually some timely topic under public
discussion, or something he has in his
own mind, and tells them how to treat
It. Perhaps he may want them to at
tack some fad or folly of the court
The good man. whose turn IL is to
preach that Sunday, may have al
ready prepared himself but the EN-
peror's word is law. so he has to burn
midnight oil to please his imperial
master. If II does please. the sermon is
printed in the newspapers and in PAM
phlet form and extentively circulated
by his Majesty's order.
Speeches Made With Purpose.
There are men who believe that the
Kaiser's speeches are not so imprudent
as others suppose; that he is deeper
than Is generally suspected, and never
makes a public address without a de-
liberate purpose Ia his mind. When
he speaks OF the divine right Of kings.
when he declares himself 10 be the
chosen instrument OF the Lord. en-
lowed by the Almighty with power
and Entrusted with responsibilities for
which he Is accountable 10 the Creator
alone, responsibilities from which no
ministers or parllmsnt or nation can
release him, he wants 20 impres that
