AMERICAN minister
/ MUST WORK HARD

Bucharest, Rumania, Mar. 12-Chas.
j. Vopicka, Of Chicago, the American
minister to Rumania, Serbia and Bull
garia, has found himself in a ,pecu-
liar position as al result of the war.
The demands upon him have been
such that when an Associated Press
correspondent visited him at his pala.
tial home in Bucharest, the American
minister was westling with bookkeep-
ing and correspondence in all the ten.
languages Of Central Europe.
He was sitting behind a large desk
strewn with letters each containing
either a request for information as
to the fate of some missing soldier
from AustrialHungary, Germany, Ser
bia or Russia, or a money-order for
some prisoner OF war.
''This is the second of our five
daily mail deliveries" said he, "'and
50 far | have received, 1O2 letters.
My small staff Is 50 overworked that
I am obliged to lend a hand. I
thought this would be only until some
body could be found to do the work.
But such people are extremely scarce

In private life MI. Vopicka is a
wealthy Chicago banker.
Il have come to like the work" he
said, after telling how he spent from
u to 16 hours In bookkeeping each
day. Each little effort in behalf of
these poor men means not only com
fort for them, but reinsurance for

danger only the hands of the firer, a
method which has caused foreign oo-

SO ineffective in the Philippine war;

But it is not the haphazard fire for TIE

Instructors are now employed IN
the English training camps to teach
this method of firing, which requires

tonished sceptical officers by making
shots that would be creditable to a
sharpshooter under the old method of
holding the eye to the sight. Just how
1t is done is not explained. but 1t is
known that the gun is held at arms

Both sides are now directing a heavy
continuous fire upon each other and

PRICES ON COTTON
GOODS ADVANCING

New York. April 17-Cotton goods mar
kets are very strong and prices advancing.
Sales In the wide print cloth and con-
vertible division have been active and
large, many being for contract delivery
late In the year. Many prices on stand
ard wide convertbles are now up from
ssc to %c a yard from prices of March l.
Domestics in bleached and brown lines
are much higher and firmer. Colored do
n estics are being held at value in a num-
Der of instances and have been withdrawn
from sale In other cases. There is more
business offering in fine and fancy cot
tons for summer delivery and contracts
are being entered into for delivery from
mills to converters for the 1916 early
spring trade.
Prints are steady and percales f1rmer
with an advancing tendency On many
lines of ginghams advances have been
named from the low points, while many
lines are off the market because of In
ability to secure dycstuffs.
Manufacturing and retail trades report
a slowly broadening trade and while dis
tributers report considerable irreguiarity
their general opinion is that trade is got

erably they are not yet ON a parity with
cotton in many cases and further ravisions
upward are anticipated In wholesale cir

Recent fluctuations in Bethlehem Steel
shares have drawn the public mind to-
ward the stock market. and the American
else could have done.
The unprecedented advance of 81 per
share in United States Steel common last
week was really more sensational than
the $40 per share fluctuation in Bethlehem
Steel. The advance in Steel common add
ed s35,000,000 TO the market value of that
corporation A $50 advance in Bethlehem
Steel common adds no more than ST. 500 900
to its valuation. Bethlehem is doing one
seventh as much gross business as United
States Steel, and making a larger per-
centage of net return out of its gross
business, yet, the common share capital
of Bethlehem Steel is less than per cent
OF that of United States Steel common
under $l5,000.000. as compared with the
Steel corporations more than $500 000, 900.
Both stocks are paying no dividends
and the Steel corporation will probably
pay small dividend before Bethlehem
Steel common pays anything. Yet, Beth
lehem Steel is likely to sell at four times
the price of United States Steel.
The Steel corporation represents about
40 per cent of the steel business of the
United States. The Bethlehem Steel is a
partnership with Charles M. Schwab in
what is today one of the three great ord
nance plants of the world
Without tits ordnance plant Bethlehem
today would, in common with United
States Steel be struggling concern in a
bad domestic market.

flicting rumors concerning Bethlehem,
