BETHLEHEM STEEL
 STILL GOING UP

New York. July Excited specu- u1ation in the stocks of corporations benefting from war orders from Eu- ropean governments kept the stock market in a turmoil to- day. Fluctua- tions were wide and trading was heaya fest of any time during the upward movements of these stocks which have been in progress for several months. On the floor of the stock exchange crowds of shouting brokers were pack ed about the trading posts. at which. the securities most sconcerneds are dealt in and in the first hours transac- lions amounted to 35o.0o0 shares. The most pronounced advances were in steele and railway equipment shares which were traded in frequently in blocks of several thousand shares.
 Bethlehem Steel advanced six points to 27o., Crusible Steel 1S A, Nesting house P to 1121s, and Allis-Chalnners to 29sz, all new records. Many oth- CT stocks reached the highest prices of a year or more.

ARMY CORPS COVERS
 THIRTY MILES ALONG
 GERMANY'S HIGHWAYS

Berlin, July 29.-A writer in the Neue Gese1lsehaftliche Corresponden- denz has been trying to visualize to the casual reader the dimensions of troops as they march and fight. A German army corps, he says. con- sists of IL 900 men, 14,0a0s horses, and 2,400 vehicles, including the can non. Such body Of men and their. belongings make a procession about thirty miles long on a single road. the enemy the length of a corps is about l 5 miles; and when the front Sdetachments become involved in a battle it will be five orssix hours be- fore the men in the rear go into ac- ton to assist them. Before this war began it was generally assumed that "a single corps woEld occupy about s2 1-2 to miles or the fighting line, but in actual experience 1t has been found that the average front of a corps is considerably broader, name 1y, 3 1-2 to miles An army of 10 corps is not very large. as armies go in this war; but even such an army " ould fight on a front of some 37 miles. and the man who undertook to walk from one wing to the other would require, 12 to 14 hours in do- Ing it.
 The shipment of an army corps by rail is no small undertaking. The troops a{ong require 67s'trains, whtIe the artillery. cornmissary and other belongings cal for fl trains-a total Of about 110 trains. ss.s
 The feeding of corps appears to be a big problem when the matter is worked out upon the basis Of the daily consurn ptio of each man and each horse. The daily average ra- stion of a soldier in the German army weighs about 3s6 pounds. while a horse gets his | 3 pounds of oats, and 
 ably more. These figures work out at about S17,0OO pounds of food for the men and about 1s 500 os pounds for the horses,a a ntnin1um. There is thus nearly 300, 900 pounds of pro- visions to be moved forward every der the most favorable condition therefore, it calls for a train of 1508 wagons to bring up the food for each day.

Danbury. Conn, July 29.-Arned and prepared to face physical resistance, United States Marshal Middlebrook and Deputy Hawley of Hartford yes terday began serving notice of fore closure on 16s defendants in this city in the Loewe Danbury hatters' case, warning them that their homes were about to be taken to satisfy the sjudg- ment of $262. .00o.
 In most eases the marshals were met by the wives of the defendants, whose smiles were the only discon-. certing things they encountered. Few Of the defendants expressed fear they would lose their homes. Fifty-three writs were served

 The notices of foreclosure give the defendants until Sept. 4 to appear be- fore the United States District Court at Hartford and show cause why fore closure should not be made.

STOCK MARKET

New York. July 2s-openfng: There was a rush to buy war stocks at the opening of the market today. United States Steel, Crucible Steel, Westinghouse Electric and A1lis- Chalmers were bought in lots of sev- eral thousand shares and these stocks. as well as Bethlehem Steel. reached new high records.

Railroad shares were strong although St. Paul, on which dividend action is to be taken today, slumped three points.
 The advance was too rapid to be maintained and after half an hours trading a reaction occurred. Beth1e- hem Steel fell back points
 Noon=SpecuIation in the war stocks continued in large volume through the morning. Profit taking was on heavy scale causing frequent relapses of to and even 8 points but the demand was so insisteht that prices recovered and reached still higher levels. There was no new influence of inaportanc@ and speculation was again based on prospects of large profits from war or ders and the improved conditions gen erally in the steel and related indus tries. Ra iIroad shares dragged but at non the advance in the more active of these stocks ranged from 3 to 1874 points, the latter in CrucibIe steel Bonds were irregular.
