Automobiles on German Mail Routes.

From the Railway and Engineering Review.
The German postal authorities. who have
for some time been experimenting with
automobiles. have decided to put these ve-
hicies In use on rural delivery routes. and
have placed an order for several hundred
of them with a large German automobile
manufacturer. In several districts where
railroads are scarce and where passengers
are still transported in postal stages, the
horse-drawn stage coaches are also to be
replaced by automobiles.

BULLS And BEARS

NEW FORK. October "A continuing
plentitude Of stocks in the stock loan crowd
for the last month has frequently been all
luded to in some quarters as indicating
that the short Interest cannot be very
large. Apart from the fact that large OPP
orators for the rise might deem it advisable
TO encourage the shorts by seeing that no
trouble was encountered in narrowing
stocks for delivery against short sales,
hardening money market almost invariably
renders the stock loan crowd supply value
less as an Index to the state or extent Of
the short interest
When call money rates rise to per cent
or above with a marked tendency to firm
ness about the higher levels, brokers are
very apt to send quantities of stock to the
board to be loaned to the technical or
actual shorts.
They have. in the first place. to be able
to lend the stocks at some concession from
the call money rate. and in the second
place, they can obtain the full market
value for the stocks SO loaned, whereas if
the stocks were put I'D as collateral at a
bank or other money-fendfng institution the
owners of the shares would probably be I'M
able to obtain more than 70 or so per cent
Of the market value
When the short interest Is large and the
borrowing demand for stocks Is good stock
loans will be made under the calI-money
rate, even If there is pretty fair supply
and the loaning rates on stocks lately have
indicated the existence Of a short interest
OF considerable dimensions in view of the
fact that, for the reasons noted, the sup
ply of stocks has been properly charac-
terfzed as free.

the moral and material aid that is
yours to give. 1t is true you will have
attacked only one little corner, but
you will have done what you could
and perhaps have led another on to
follow you. Instead of stopping at
the knowledge that much wretched-
ness, hatred, disunion and vice exist
in society you will have introduced a
little good among these evils. And by
however slow degrees such kindness as
yours Is emulated the good will sensi-
bly, increase and the evil diminish
Even were you to remain alone in this
undertaking you would have the as
surance that in fulfilling the duty,
plain as a child's, which offered itself
you were doing the only reasonable
thing. If you have felt it so, you have
found out one of the secrets of right
living.

braces vast limits, but it is rarely Civ

You are Il ruined man, Or you are
stricken by a great bereavement, or,
again, you see the fruit Of toilsome
years perish before your eyes. You
cannot rebuild your fortune, raise the
dead, recover your lost toll, and i'll the
face of the inevitable your arms drop.
Then you neglect to care for your per-
son, to keep your house, to guide your
children. All this is pardonable, and
how easy to understand! But it is ex-
ceedingly dangerous. TO fold ones
hands and let things take their course
is to transform one evil into worse.

You who think that you have nothing
left to lose will by that very thought
lose what YOU have. Gather up the
fragments that remain to you and keep
them with scrupulous care. In good
time this little that is yours will be
your consolation. Tie effort made will
come to your relief, as the effort miss
ed will turn against you. If nothing
but branch is left for you to cling
to, cling to that branch, ana If YOU
stand alone in defense of losing cause
do not throw down your arms to Join
the rout After the deluge a few sur
vivors repeopled the earth. The fu-
ture sometimes rests in a single life
as truly as life sometimes hangs by
thread. For strength go to history and
nature. From the long travail of both
you will learn that failure and fortune
alike may come from the slightest
cause, that it is not wise to neglect
detail and, above ALL that we must
know how to wait and to begin again.
In speaking of simple duty l cannot
help thinking of military life and the
examples it offers to combatants in this
great struggle. He would little under
stand his soldiers duty who, the army
once beaten, should cease to brush his
garments, polish his rife and observe
discipline. but what would be the
usef" perhaps you ask. Are there not
various fashions Of being vauQuished?
Is it an Indifferent matter to add TO de-
feat discouragement, disorder and de-
moraliZation? No; 1t should never be
forgotten that the least display Of en-
ergy in these terrible moments is q
sign of life and hope. At once every
body feels that all is not lost.
During the disastrous retreat of 1873

had become almost impossible TO pre-

such matter would be u violation OF
the federal statutes,
Il. =. Adler, editor Of the Times
