NEW YORK, Jan. 14.--In point of
activity today's stock market was the
duliest OF the year to date; yet prices
showed the same tendency as In the
past few days, TO hold firm around the
level reached on the recent forward
movement. Baltimore & Ohio shares
provided the noteworthy exception. II
had been expected that the annual
dividend rate would be cut from six
per cent TO four because of the un-
favorable business outlook. This af-
ternoon d reduction only to a Ave
per cent rate was announced, and the
stock gained 3 Ia points.
The bond market was stronger as a
rule, both on the stock exchange and
in the outside trading London was
again negligible influence on this
market. but the dispatches reported
a tendency to better prices, even
though only slight.
There was no change from the ex.
ceedingly easy position of the money
market. Foreign exchange stood

towns surrounding the lake
were completely razed.
Twenty others were badly

Faulty construction of the

heavy loss of life. The build.

smothering and crushing the
occupants.
The entire area of the

PARIS, Jan. 14.-Admission was
made today that the French troops
holding positions north OF the Aisne
have been compelled to retire to the
south OF the river. Severe floods
which carried away the temporary
bridges, and not the German attacks
Is given as the cause. II Is stated
that IL was necessary that this move
Ihent be made in order that communi-
cations should be preserved.
The lighting around Scissors con-
tinues, with the Germans throwing
heavy forces into action in an effort
TO regain lost ground. Despite this.
the French are said to have gained q
slight advantage at certain points. In
the extreme north the cannonading
continues. despite the fact that q
thick blanket OF fog now shrouds the
entire countryside. The artillery .ex-
changes are extremely violent, espe-
cially in the Nieuport-Y -Ypres regions.
The Belgians are reported to have
dynamited a munition depot In the
region OF Stuyven- X enskake, killing
many Germans and destroying q large
quantity Of munitions.
All along the Aisne artillery ex-
changes are In order. with practically
no change in the situation. Fighting

the Meuse. but the snow and fog have
prevented any renewal OF the offen

LOCAL DIAMOND
"puD" LEWIS OF THE TENNEs-
SEE CITY MADE VISIT TO MAX

WAS FAvoRARLY IMPRESSED
WITH IT.

''Dud" Lewis, a baseball enthusiast
of Nashville, Tenn, who came here
from Andalusia couple Of days ago,
yesterday, in company with local fans
and officials of the Maxent Park
grounds, made trip to the local ball
ground yesterday, and to some of those
who accompanied him. made the state
ment that the grounds were excel
lent, were surprisingly well-located
and would be delightful for any visit
ing team to workout on for the ap-
preaching season. He will carry back
with him good report on the Max
ent grounds, and believes that there is
a chance for the Tennesseeans to
come here for short time.
Mr.. Lewis met number of local
players and fans Immediately upon
striking town, and at once began
talking baseball. He is q ball player
himself, and nothing Is more interest
ing to him, outside of playing the
game itself. than of talking about the
great national pastime. He has play
ed professional oall for the past sew
eraI years, but comes south on his
present trip in the interest of milling
properties in Alabama.
In company with C. f. Schad Mr..
Lewis also raid a visit to the navy
yard yesterday, and he said that he
would report to Manager "BilP'
Schwartz, of the Nashville Southern
League Club. that Pensacola. is the
place the aggregation should adopt,
for the first training trip.
Mr.. Lewis will remain in the city
until noon today and will then return
direct to Nashville, to which city he
will carry favorable report of PEN
sacola, her ball park and the location
of the latter. He said last night that
Pensacola had a surprisingly good ball
ground, even better than many a dia-
nond in many more pretentious cities.
and he would tell the Nashville man
ager the same thing,
