somewhat amusing story is told
on the president of one of these COM
panies. His stock began to jump.
He didn't know why. 1t kept on go
ing. He attributed it in part to a
sympathetic influence due to war
business. but he couldn't put his fin
ger on the spot. Finally one day he
received an order from the Morgan
house for certain munitions. Then
his friends hazarded the explanation
that undoubtedly some one of the in
siders in the Morgan encourage knew
that the company was going to be
a slice of the war contract
and they had traded on this infor-
nation for days before the actual
order was given, cleaning up mil
lions of dollars on the margin basis.

TROOPS RUSH TO
AID OF A TOWN
AMERICAN SOLDIERS PROJECT
SAN BENITO. TENAS, FROM
THREATENED MEXlCAN At
TACK.

San Benito, Texas Heavy cavalry
and infantry patrols, which were
rushed to this city OF 5000 persons
during last night, kept off threat
ened attack by Mexican bandits. Evi-
dence OF plot to terrorize the city
last night was strengthened by re-
ports to army patrols during the
night OF the activities of Mexicans
outside OF the town Just before
dawn, the time suspected for the at
tack, infantry details were sent out
along the roads for some distance
from the town, ready TO meet the at
tack. The MeNicans failed to carry
out whatever plans they had, ap-
parently discovering the strength of
the United States troops.
MeXicans here told the citizens or
ganization that revolutionists plan
ned to make demonstration at some
other place to draw the troops away
from here and then to fire into San
Benito. For that reason San Benito
will be closely guarded for several
days. The army patrols here or in
the immediate neighborhood number
three companies of infantry and two
troops of cavalry.Ny The town of
Mercedes, about twenty miles from
here, has been included in the threats
against San Benito.
Citizens Guard Town.
San Benito citizens organized sew
eral days ago into public safety
committee and members of this com
mittee were placed on guard around
the town. Captain Scier of the Twen-

filled ten automobiles with soldiers,
stationing them on main street. The
soldiers slept on their arms in their
machines, their drivers ready for a
dash into the country. Plans have
been made to commander school

and use them as blockhouses. San

That question is being asked with
increaaing frequency here. No one
knows why Sweden should do any
thing. But that she will do something
shortly, fayoring one side or the 9TH
er in the great war, seems to be an
established opinion in the allied
countries.
1t is undeniable that popular opin-
ion, based on more or less reliable
confirmation, is that Sweden soon
will throw in her lot with Germany.
Investigation i'll diplomatic circles
develops these facts:
Germany is doing her best to bring
Sweden into the war.
There is party in Sweden that
favors Germany and is willing to have
the Swedish army help the Germans.
This party includes the financial in

merically.

cabby never fails to point with swell

become part of the social and tinan-
cial and official life of the British
empire.

Cannot Even Guess Profits

How much money Morgan is maxi
ing out OF his job as American min
lister of munitions to the court of ST.
James is the merest conjecture. Even
the traders on the stock exchanges
and the commercial and manufactur-
ing leaders hazard only a guess. Some
say the amount is SD stupendous as
to be almost uncomfortable.
And some of them don't like the
way the market acts at times-and
some have laid it at the door of the
house of Morgan.
For instance:
A prominent trader in La Sale
street was discussing the Morgan in
fiuence the other day. He said that
the stock of manufacturing COM
pany that had been overlooked sud-
denly would begin to advance. 1t
would go up rather rapidly and keep

this one stock is the belief OF every
union labor man in the United States
who is identified with the direction
of the labor movement
No Wage Raise Forthcoming.
The labor men point out that Mr..
'Schwab, in addition to his big profits
on the war contracts, might have and
/ may have cleaned up other millions
i'll dealing in the stock on margins.
What the labor chiefs see is the
surface indications OF enormous for
! tunes rolling into the strong boxes OF
Schwab and his associates, with no
corresponding percentage increase in
the pay of the men who make the
stun the war contracts call for. And
that is the big question, according
to traders and labor spokesman, that
must be adjusted if the United
States is not to see a capital and
labor controversy that may unseltle
industrial and commercial condi-
tions from one end of the country to-
the other.
Enormous Steel Profits
The preferred stock OF the steel
trust also is cited. Since the war
orders came to Morgan & Co. the
