large means alone. What have to
say applies to the man with $lOO
as we'll as the man with $i,OOO,-
600. l have also noticed that the
little fellow is just as timid as
the big operator and often more
so, since his small sum is to him
relatively larger than the invest
ment of the rich man.
Remember that the man with
one dollar in savings bank is to
that extent an investor. His money
is placed in bonds and farm mort
cages, since there are strict legal
limitations on this class of banks
as to investments they may make.
1t is the combined savings of
many of these small depositors
which furnish much of the avail
able capital of the country.
I'm my opinion we are on the
upgrade, but there will be no sud-
den revival of business. The end
of the European War will help to
some extent. But there is a graver
situation here at home.
political agitation against
capital, against the railroads, and
against successful business gen.
orally, has been responsible, more
than anything else, for the pres :
ent waiting policy of investors.
Congress has been to large
degree responsible, but state leg
islatures and even city councils
have their degree of Importance.
The new Federal Trade Commits
sion, with it's practically unlimit-
ed powers, is an element of un-
certainty.

use their autocratic power in a
conservative manner, but there
exists the possibility of an abuse
of authority and they must, as

Fundamentally, the business
of the United States is sound. But

Depression at an End

In my opinion the country has
reached the bottom of the indus
trial and business depression
which has prevailed since the out
break of the European War.
The drift is now toward better
times, he says, but progress is
slow though certain and not even
the ending of the war will do as
much to better conditions, in his
opinion, as a renewal of confid-
ence on the part of those with
money to invest that political agi-
tation will not further interfere
with business.
II feel confident" said Mr..
Decker, that we have reached the
bottom, so far as the present de-
preston is concerned, and alrea-
dy I can see signs that investors
are to some degree regaining the
confidence which is necessary for
normal business.
''The recent condition has been
that nothing but farm mortgages
or municipal bonds would be at
tractive. This form of investment
approximates the nearest to ar
absolute safe investment at a rea-
sOnable return which is known t(
the business and banking world
"The supply of these is about
exhausted, however, and can see
indications that men with surplus

FIERCE FIGHTING
IN CARPATHIANS
Austrians and slavs Clash with
Cold 8teel and Thousands
Slain
MOST FURIOUS IN HISTORY
ls What's Said OF tho Battle Now
Raging In the Mountains
There

Petrograd, April 7.-The most
furious bayonet battle in the his
tory of the world is being fought
on the southern ridge and slopes
of the Carpathians at the Lupkow
pass, according to dispatches
reaching here yesterday.
In snow filled gulleys and up
and down the slippery mountain
sides, the struggle is going on.
The Austrians in their retreat
southwark from the railway
abandoned much of their artil-
lery. The Russians moved up the
heights supported only by small
mountain guns.
Neither side have been able to
put its artillery to effective use
in the broken ranges. Guerilla
warfare, fierce struggles between
small groups in the narrow de-
files with Austrian and Slav
clashing with cold steel is strew-
ing the Lupkow region with thou
sands of dead.
The Cars troops have not yet
passed the Lupkow, according to
the best information available at
the War Office yesterday. They
have driven the enemy from each
successive height dominating the
railway, the Austrians making
their stand on the last ridge. Be-
cause of the nature of the fight
ing at this point dispatches are
conflicting and it is possible that
with both lines broken by inter-
vening mountain peaks few
small bodies of Russians have
made their way down the south
ern slopes through the Austrian
lines.

THE STOCK MARKET
T. T.. Watsorl 6 Co9

With a favorable trade balance ac- oumulatins at the rate Of $5,0oo, 900 a day. with bank reserves high and cost Of capital low, with slow but. steady expension in mill and factory opera ton and concurrent reduction in the percentage of unemployed labor, it would sbe natural for fhe securities markets to deevlop strength and &C., ticity. There are many individual properties meriting attention like Montana Power to which we recently called attention. With this country's 8 brd1lfant future sound convertible bonds carry a privilege of conversion bound to be valuable in time. The standard railroad conapaIaies have proved ability to earn their dividends under trying circumstances. Never the1ess the market marks tfrne''- even loses ground--under the latest uncertainties developed by the war. The German note in reply to ours re- garding the proclamation of a .twar zone" in British waters wears the senblance of friendIiness. Yet appre- henston remains as to "accfdent'' poa- abilities during Gernany.s latest pro posed naval activities. The policy of conservatism therefore remains for the present the advisable one, though the strength of this country and it's ulti- mate assured prosperity furnish conf dence that later on investment values will be vdndicated

PHOTOS SHOW HUBBY
WITH GIRL ON KNEE
Mrs. Charles LOCKER Springs Sur
prise on Spouse Who Sues
Her For Divorce

Two snapshot photos of pretty
girl draped gracefully over the knee of
Charles H. LOCKER figured as Exhibit
A and b. in June divorce court to-day
when Lockers petition for a divorce
from his wife Sarah was heard.
LOCKER wanted legal separation be-
cause his wife, he alleged. had deserted
him; she declared she didn't want to
leave him, but just had to because of
her husbands undoubted preference
for the pretty girl of the picture. Mrs.
LOCKER said the girl boarded at the
Locker house and that she. Mrs.
LOCKER. was little more than house
keeper round there-any affection that
was lavished was lavished by LOCKER
on the girl.
The photographs were produced by
the wifes witnesses.
LOCKER declared he didn't really
want to pose for the pictures at the
time, but the amateur photographer
who made one of the party insisted.
The pictures show LOCKER and the
pretty girl genially sharing bench in
Reservoir in the good old summer time
way.
Mrs. LOCKER wasn't in the party.
The story of the marital unhappi-
ness of the lockers began in No. l
courtroom yesterday afternoon and
didn't end until noon to-day. LOCKER
told of his wifes several desertions.
She frequently left without leaving
word. although, as he mentioned, she
always made him plate Of cakes or
something, and told him how to set
out the wash. Once in her good-by
note she had given him tip about the
leakiness of the kitchen gas burner
and suggested that he get q new one.
The court took the papers.

El Paso, Texas, June 29.-To sup
plement the efforts of the United States
Government toward preventing the
entrance into Mexico of revolutionary
factors from the American side of the
border, General Villa is preparing to
increase the garrison at Juarez. ac-
cording to General Manuel Banda.
commissioned by Villa to investigate
conditions in Juarez. 1t is understood
that 1900 artillery has arrived.
General Gonzales Ornealas, in
Juarez has taken extra precautions for
the protection of the city and to pre-
vent the entrance of any armed bands
from the United States. All patrols
in and about Juarez have been
doubled. Mexican secret service men
are under orders to watch all persons
whose actions arouse suspicion.
Angeles and Llorente then Went to
the War Department and entered into
conference with Brigadier- General
Scott, chief-of-staff of the army. In
view of Llorente,s announcement that
the mission of Angeles was military
one. and General Scott's thorough Ia
miliarity with Mexican military affairs,
which includes an intimate acquaint-
ance with Villa, the conference attracts
ed no little attention.
