Point Judith, X. l.. Dec An
unidentified schooner which had
sought shelter in the harbor of ref
uge here was torn adrift by the aslu
today and tossed on the breakwater.
on top of which five members OF the
crew climbed for safety. Life savers
started for the breakwater in the
face OF siXty-mile gale.
Repeatedly during the night the
Ocean City life saving crew tried to
eNchang" torch signals with the ship
but Gould get no understandable re-
sponsc. This fact, and the charac-
ter o. the lights she displayed last
night and her distress signals led the
watermen TO think that she is for
eisn battleship or cruiser.

THE "LoouAcIous" AMBASSADOR

The Anti-German Press is pleased
to refer to Count Bernstorff as Ger.
many's "loquacious" Ambassador.
The Russian and the English Am
bassador. we are told, do not talk half
SO much. But we feel sure that both
England and Russia would be nightly
pleased II their ambassadors could
talk half so well and to such excel
lent purpose. Everything that Count
Dernstorff has touched has been sue
cessful. just as the mythical touch Of
Midas turned all things upon which
he laid his hands into gold.
Count Bernstorff asked for the open
ing of the wireless station at Tucker
ton; his request was granted.
Count Bernstorff protested against
the habit of regarding this country as
a naval base for belligerent powers /;
has protest was needed.
Count Bernstorff protested against
the arming of British commercial yes
sells leaving from American ports;

THE REPORTED VICTORY.
Since the first encounter OF the
German invaders and the allies at
Mons and Chartered on August
90 the world has been holding it's
breath. hguratlyely speaking.
waiting for a decisive battle be-
tween the hundreds of thousands
of men under arms on both sides.
There have been much skirmish-
lighting, many pitched battles, IN
several of which more men we're
engaged than was the case 1T the
hattie of Gettysburg. aFs AZ log

THANKS, HOWEVER. 10 THE
EXCELLENT WORK or THE
ALLIED COMMANDERS. THEIR
ARMIES, CONSTANTLY RE
TREATING. HAVE BEEN KEPT
INTACT. THERE HAS BEEN
NO ROUT.
Now another great battle is on.
and it would seem the Germans
r making their most deter
mined attempt to crush the allies.
They r pouring new men on
to the firing line. and have
brought their forces into action
in such a way as to indicate a
plan to crumple up the allied line,
if possible, throwing the left wing
back into Paris and surrounding
and capturing the army in the
center.
AT the very start of this engage
ment the allies seem to have won
an advantage through a victory
over a portion of the German right
wing. The extent of this IS not
yet established. But il the pend
ing battle is to be a decisive bat
tie a victory for the allies in the
beginning will have al excellent
effect on the morale of the troops.

ba~ckhanded in his methods. he meets
America fairly and squarely. in the

DENIES REPORT
OF MO. PAC. DEAL
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., Says
His Interests Are Not
Negotiating.

John d. Rockefeller, jr., in answer 10
written questions, denied yesterday that
there were any negotiations in progress
between the Rockefeller interests and
George j. Gould for acquisition OF the
Gould family's stock holdings in the Mis-
souri, Pacific and its allied lines, thus set
ting at rest, at least temporarily, reports
which have kept Wall Street agog for
the last week.
care the Rockefeller interests nego-
tiating for acquisition of the Gould hold
ings Of Missouri Pacifc?" was asked.
NO" was his reply.
Are there any other negotiations af-
fecting control of the Missouri Pacific.
and what interests are concerned was
another question. Il am not in position
TO say" was the answer.
II was learned later, however, upon ex-
cellent authority that the Standard OIL
group of fnencers had within the last
few weeks made an attempt TO acquire
control of the Gould properties, and that
negotions. were only broken off recently
owing TO a failure to come to terms mu-
tuallv satisfactory. The Rockefellers, 1t
was said, were willing to finance the MIS-
souri, Pacfic's s25C0,Oo0 issue Of notes
falling due June on condition that the
Gould control be eliminated. George
Gould refused to consent TO such a plan
and the Rockefellers withdrew from fur
Their negotiations.
The continued strength in Missouri Pa
cidc stock in face of the failure Of the
negotiations was attributed to the efforts
of certain stock market operators TO keep
the news from being made public. In
terests close to the Missouri Pacific man
agement said yesterday that the plan had
fallen through before the recent rise In
the stock began.
Although George Gould has stated that
the maturing notes will be provided for.
no definite financing plan has yet been
announced and II is rumored that bankers
wiU refuse to underwrite any new securi-
ties while the Goulds hold control. Should
this be true there may be considerable
difficulty I'm financing the maturing notes
unless the Gould family meets the need
from its own eXchequer.
The chief factor in the refusal OF the
Goulds to sell their stock TO the Rookie
fellers il was said, was that George j.
Gould and Mrs. Finley j. Shepard, for
merly Miss Helen Gould. regard the MIS-
souri, Pacific as "A monument 10 thelr
father. and for this reason were 10Th TO
see the road change control. The com
bined Gould stock holdings are estimated
at between $40, 10000 and s2o,0Oo,Ooo.
/ John D. Rockefeller. and the Rookie
/ Teller Foundation sold out their stock in
/ Missouri Pacific several years ago. The
oil kings holdings are now confined 70
/ the roads bonds. of which he possesses
I a considerable account.

Mining Shares Strong and More
Active-Oils Recede-City
Bonds Go Higher.

Aside from the oil issues, prices on the
curb yesterday were somewhat improved.
The early trading was generally dull, but
increased buying orders stimulated the
market later. Mining shares were rather
heavily dealt in, and for the most part
made gains. West End Consolidated sold
up to s., and though it receded later made
an az rance OF points on the day. Stand
ard Oil of Indiana dropped 6 points. South
Penn oil and Standard Of New Jersey
and New York and 2, respectively.
Standard of California and Of Kentucky
