MERCANTILE MARINE REPORT

The report of the International Mercan-

After charges and taxes there was a sur
plus of $S24,874 compared with a deficit in
the year before of g, 1927 29 From the in
surance account $751;. 461 was transferred 10
surplus account, making a total for that
item of $182, 1886, which is equal to 22S Der
cent on the Ccmpany'S $51, 730. go outstand-

president of the company, J. Bruce Ismay.

earnings from transatlantic freights during
last year We're seriously affected.
Considering the large amount of cargo
tonnage owned by your company, the di-
rectors cannot but view with concern the
present export situation in the United
States, but fortunately 1t has been possible
| to transfer some of the transatlantic steam
ers TO other freight trades. The present
particularly high prices of cattle and hogs
have very materially reduced the export
movement of live cattle, dressed beef and
packing house products. The general in
crease in the cost of all materials pur-
chased by the company, particularly in the
United States, has increased the cost of op-
rdting the steamers.
The new steamers Laurentic and Megsn-
tic, placed in the Montreal service during
the last season, have earned a good repUI-
tation with the travelling public. but IN
fortunately the results obtained were. from
a financial point of view, disappointing ow-
ing to the conditions of the trade and TO the
competition Of the subsidized lines.

The general mourning in England brought
out the fact that the colors people habitual
ly wear serve to differentiate them from
other people more than any one had sus-
pected. With every one robed in black it is
reported that people have sometimes failed
to recognize their best friends.

ARMY ENGINEERS
IN SAD QUANDRY
THE MANNER OF DISTRIBU-
TON OF $40 ,ooO, 900 IS IN
GRAVE QUESTION.

Can the Sum Be Divided2-Army
Men Great Sticklers for Propriety
and Will Seek Opinion of Attorney
General.-Embarrassment For Pres.
ident Taft.
A Washington press dispatch states
that before the board of army engi-
neers, appointed by President Taft,
can complete its report on govern
ment irrigation projects, and suggest
the manner of distributing the $4,000,
900 fund made available by recent act
of congress, it must have an opinion
from the attorney general interpreting
the language of the act which, to the
members of the board is susceptible
of two constructions The law pro-
vides that this $2O00O,OO0 shall be
used "in the completion of" projects
heretofore adopted.
Army engineers are great sticklers
for propriety, and the members Of this
board are perplexed to know whether,
under this act, they can apply the
S2O,00O,00O towards the completion
of various projects, or whether they
must allot it only to such projects as
can be completed by the $20,0OO,OOO.
There is a vast difference in the two
plans; if the former idea is carried
out (and that undoubtedly was the
purpose of congress) then the $20,-
100000 can be spread out over a dozen
states; if the money can be used only
in the absolute completion of projects,
the whole $2O,OOO,0OO could be alb
sorbed in SINCE state. For instance.
it would require the full amount to
complete the Yakima project in Wash
ingtan. all but FIVE millions of the
fund could be used in completing the
-Payette project in Idaho, and so
it goes.
In advance of ruling by the attor.
ney general, it is not known what in.
depreciation of the law the board will
follow, but if the attorney general fol-
lows. strictly the letter, rather than
the spirit of the law, administration
will find itself nightly embarrassed
for every state that fails to receive an
allotment will be up in arms, and the
White Hosue will be besieged by in
censed senatsrs and representatives.
