WILSON MOTORS
TO SEN. stones
HOME FOR CHAT

washington, March 25.-President
Wilson kept pace today with his prece-
dent shattering reputation and exem-
plified the human side of himself,
which he described in a talk to news
paper men a few days ago, by motor
ing to the home of Senator William
J. Stone of Missouri, who has been i'll
for several weeks and having chat
about official business.
Senator Stone. who is the new chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee, had sought a conference with the
President Wilson suggested that he
visit the senator rather than put the
latter to the trouble of visiting the
White House. Senator Stone was eag-
er to discuss the Mexican situation
and the pending controversy relat-
ing to the repeal of the toll exemp-
ton for American ships passing
through the Panama canal.
The President, it is understood, told
the senator that the Mexican situa-
ton had undergone no change.
The tolls repeal matter was discuss
ed at length and a point particularly
emphasized was that South American
nations were just as much opposed to
the exemption from tolls to coastwise
shipping of the United States pass
ing through the Panama canal as was
Canada
Argentina and Erazil, it developed,
hold that their own coastwise ship
ping should be free from tolls if
American coastwise ships are to en-
joy that advantage. The South Amer
lean governments argue that they are
in the same position as Canada and
that so long as their ships are not
engaged in over-se traffic. coastwise
ships of the United States would have
a discriminatory advantage through
canal toll exemption.

CUT DIVIDENDS
Directors Consider Annual
Reports--Show Enormous
OUTLAWS for Maintenance
And Other Big Expendi-
tures--Say Gross and Net
Revenue Has Declined

Philadelphia March 25.--The direc-
tors OF the Pittsburgh Cincinnati, Chi
eago & st. Louis Railroad Co, the
Southwest system of the Pennsylvania
lines west of Pittsburgh. today re-
duced the dividend on the common
stock from per cent. a year to per
cent. and on the preferred stock from
5 to per Acent.
In connection with the announce
ment President Rea of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad made the following
statement: THE directors of the
Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Chicago & St.
Louis Railway Co, at their meeting
today. considered and approved the
annual report for 1918, the results OF
which have already appeared in the
Railway Co.
This report showed an increase of
s4600.000 in operating and mainte-
nance expenses, which includes the
extraordinary OUTLAWS for replace
ments and repairing tracks, bridges
and other facilities, destroyed or dam
aged by the serious floods of March.
1913, so that. after paying its fixed
charges and appropriations to sinking
and other reserve funds, there remain
ed only $630,064 as applicable for div
idends. The company. however paid
its regular per cent. dividends on the
preferred and common stock aggregat-
ing $3,232,542. but in order to meet
the same, had to utilize in large parts
its surplus income from previous
years.
In view of the decline in the gross
and net revenues of the company in
the latter part of 1918 and so far in
the present year, and as there are still
large expenditures to be made in the
current year for the flood damage of
1918, the directors deemed 1t prudent
to reduce the dividend and therefore
eclared 1 per cent. on the preferred
and three-quarters of / per cent on
the common stock for this quarter of
the fiscal year, or at the rate of per
cent. per annum for the preferred and
8 pc cent. fer the common, as against
per cent declared on each class of
stock in recent years. The directors
of the Pennsylvania company which
operates the Northwest system of the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg,
also met today but transacted only
routine business, according to the
company's announcement.
At the yearly organization meeting
of the directors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad President Rea and all the
other Officers were reelected.

In some cases in Brooklyn, according
to Mr.. Spang, trees have been killed
by overhead wires running among
their branches. Yet 1t is true that in
many other places such wires do not
appear to have done any harm. The
explanation? Oh, it may be that in
Brooklyn the quantity Of electricity
reaching the trees is too great and
thus instead of being stimulated the
trees are injured. 1t is matter which

SIX MILLION SOLDIERS READY FOR WAR
Should Conflict Involve All Europe That Number of Soldiers Would

Estimate of the Cost of the Struggle Is More Than s54OO000o

Six million soldiers are available for

tween Servia and stria-Hungary
should involve all Europe.
Austria, large as she is In territory
and population, does not outnumber
Servia in available trained men so
heavily as might be expected But the
seriousness of the situation lies In the
fact that, once hostfrities between the
two principals begin, a general war
might be inevitable
Should Russia make good her threat
to aid Servia, 1t Is believed Germany
and Italy would join their ally-Aus-

serves would increase in q few days
to 100000 men. Servia can mobilize
all Of her male population able to bear
arms TO the number of $4,000, al
though she maintains only $4,000 men.
As Austria must guard the Russian
frontier and leave some troops In the
great slav territory, any army she
might attempt to throw across the
Danub he into Servia would not be of
overwhelming strength. Germany's
field army in time of war numbers L.
100000 men. Behind this field army
stands an active reserve of 600, 900
men of the Landwehr, and behind
them still 100000 men who have had

Russia's Resources Vast.
On peace footing the Russian army
numbers 1884, 900 men. Many of these
men would not be available, but mill
tary experts concede that Russia could
hurl 100000 men across the German
and Austrian frontiers. Behind them
are several million trained and partly
trained men. The French army Is
thought to number about 5000 men.

NEW FACTS ABOUT 20is0Ns
Certain kinds Are Found to BE More
Deadly When Diluted With
Water.

The more you dilute certain poisonS
with water the more deadly they be-
come. This remarkable fact has been
recently demonstrated by DR.. F. Roux,
the well-known French scientist, be-
fore the Academy of Science at Paris,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The poisons used in the tests were
principally of the bacterial variety,
but there seems to be no reason to
believe that the proposition is not
equally true of other poisons.
Some of the bacterial poisons ex-
perimented with became doubly virile
when diluted with 100 times their vol
ume of distilled water. When less wa
ter was used the poisons proved less
harmful, and when they were diluted
to an even greater extent their poison
Gus action increased. The conclusion
was compelled that the greater the d.
luton the more dangerous the poisons
became, and the only explanation Of
fered was that the resistance of the
blood. stream was diminished by the
water.
This is not the only paradox con-
nected with the action of poison that
has come under investigation at the
hands of scientists recently. The
venom of the cobra, the most danger
Gus of all Indian serpents, has always
proved more or less of mystery, in
view Of the fact that IL the poison
glands are cut out of the newly-killed
snake of this species, their contents
may be swallowed with impunity by a
healthy human being, the poison being
digested in perfectly natural way,
while II the person swallowing the
venom happens to have any sore place
In his mouth at the time his death is
almost instantaneous.
Just why cobra venom can be read
lily digested, but brings almost instant
death when the virus gets directly into
the blood stream is one OF the prob
lens now being investigated by scien-
lists.
