Some very low estimates are being
made on fourth quarters earnings
but assuming that they reach s34.-
100000, the total for the fun year
would be S14S.OOO.00o This would
leave the Steel Corporation with
surplus after all charges Including
dividends Of between sS5,0OO.OOO and
S40OOO.O0O.
Prices All-lmportant.
Estimates as to earnings i'm tho
fourth quarter are purely guessworlv
as everything will depend upon prices

turer figures that United States Stee
may earn less than Sli5,00o.Ooo for
the year, a figure considerably below
the above estimate of $14S100, 600.

record with two exceptions. namely
1907 when they were $160,9G4, 675.

Cooperation Needed.

Cooperation is possible only when
supported st every turn by the or
derly processes Of just government
based upon law, not upon arbitrary
or irregular force. We hold. as / am
sure all thoughtful leaders OF repub-
Ncan government everywhere hold.
that just government rests always
upon the consent OF the governed.
and that there can be no freedom
without order based upon law and
upon the public conscience and APP
provsl, We shall look to make these
principles the basis OF mutual inter
course. respect and helpfulness be-
tween our sister republics and our
selves. We shall lend our influence
OF every kind TO the realization OF
these principles In fact and practice,
knowing that disorder, personal in
triguc and defiance OF constitutional
rights weaken and discredit govern
ment and injure none so much as the
people who are unfortunate enough
TO have their common life and their
common affairs so tainted and dis
turbed

Way Being Cleared.

Thus the way seems cleared for the
restoration OF peace In the Balkans. But
at the same moment a new difficulty has
been nised by Austria, which objects to
Servia going re-the assistance of Monte
negro, and in endeavoring to enlist the
powers to her side to coerce Servia. al
though Austria declines to demobilize as
far as the servian frontier is con-
cerned.
1t APPEARS, therefore, that the fate OF
Scutarl still Is a menace to the peace OF
Europe. Austria Is determined to make
'Scutari The capital of autonomous Al
bania. Montenegro is equally determined
on the possession OF Scutari, and with the
allies in their present temper it seems
hardly likely that Servia Will abandon
