Standard Oil Dividends

S;nre the dissolution of the parent New Jersey company of the Standard Oil company, May 15, 1911, approx mately $500, 100000 has been paid ln dividends by the various subsidiary companies. This huge sum IS divided as follows: Cash dividends, $2o6,- 368. .OOO; stock dividends, $15o,loo'- 900 (par value); rights, 4l,90o,ooo, makinp q total of $4S6, 300, ,000. This is said to be the most remarkable record in the history of financial cor porations-
 Many of the former subsidiary companies are enjoying astonishing prosperity. Standard Oil of Califor- nia, which was originally capitalized at s25, 900, ,00O, now has capitaliza- tion of s1OO, O,00O This company IS earning 25 per cent profit on its in- creased issue of stock. Atlantic Re- lining company has a surplus more than four times as large as its present capital stock of s5,000,0OO. Other subsidiaries, which have made heavy payments to stockholders, show cor responding abundance of wealth.
 The success of these companies IS of course due to the fact that Stan dard Oil has developed the oil busi- ness as no other industry in the world has been developed. The vastly in- creasing profits are due to the de- mand for oil and refined products, notably gasoline, which grows greater every day.

have made a serious study of the na- tional security situation are of but one way of thinking. But it does not require student or a specialist to reach the conclusion that the United States is in no condition today to defend it's coasts. Any intelligent layman can see at a glance that this country is woefully unprepared to re- sist an attack by one of the great old world powers. After the Euro pean war is over, there probably will be peace for sometime. The United States is not going to be attacked next year or the year after. But, looking ahead ten years, ro telling what may happen.
 This country does not want mili- tarism. There is no need for vast standing army, but the most stanch approve the administra- tion's programme, which calls for only a comparatively small addition to the army and only a reasonable expansion of the navy.

RABBITS AND WAR PRICES

From the Washington Star
 War makes high prices. That is axio- matic, and the truth has been demon- strated in many countries, during a long period of time. In some cases the reas- ons for the high prices are specific. Just now, it is reported, the people of Ger many are suffering from high prices in many commodities of necessity, particu- larly in foods. At this season of the year rabbits are usually plentiful in Ger many, and form a considerable part of the popular diet. But despite the fact that the woods and fields are full of rabbits perhaps more than usual. the market supply is so low that rabbits are bringing now from s1.s7 to $1.15 apiece, which is out of all proportion to the amount of food they afford. People are complain- ing and blaming the middlemen. as usual, and the middlemen explain that the short age is not their fault, but is due to the fact that there are fewer men to hunt rabbits now than ordinarily, and that moreover. guns and ammunition for hunt ing have advanced in price owing to the war. If this is true the people may have to do their own rabbit catching, by means of traps or reversion to the an- cient weapons of the chase the bow and the spear, The government at Berlin, resourceful in emergencies, will doubtless lind way to solve the rabbit prob . lem.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-07

The press of Paris is disposed to blame the French railroads for the increased cost of living. Hitherto sugar at 26 cents q pound and coal at $50 ton have been war, but since it has been discovered that large numbers of freight cars are lying idle and freight has accumulated, which shippers have been unable to move rom western ports to Paris because of lack of railway facilities, public indignation has been greatly aroused. It is said that western ports from Bordeaux to Bouloghe
 are choked with mountains of goods. Le Journal says 10,0o0 tons of sugar nave been disembarked at Havre since August hv one house alone, which has been left tbere to spoil while prices continue to soar in Paris Since Germany occupied it's coal lands, France has been using British coal almost exclusively, and It Is estimated that more than 1oo'ooo tons are lying at western ports waiting ship ment to Paris. An American agent ot ono of the largest British coal importers, who has 10,0oo tons at Rouen. states that during the past three weeks he has been able to obtain only IS trucks. with capa acity of 10 tons each. The French railroads are managed by the state In time of war and the present situation IS being used as an argument against the socialist plank for state-managed ralf- roads. Before the war one of the state lines. the Quest Eta, was said to have been the worst managed railroad In France.

England's Navy

The work of Great Britain's tre- mendously efficient navy has been shrouded in mystery ever since the war began, so much so that the world has rather underrated Great Britain's part in the conflict. Whatever blum ders she has made in her military op- erations on land, due chiefly to the fact that she did not have a large standing army, such as Germany and France had, her navy has justified the pride and confidence of all loyal Britons. It has been from the start and will continue to be the greatest single factor in the struggle.
 A. c. Laut, writing in the Decem- Der Review of Reviews, says that when the war began the price of wheat, cotton, flour and foodstuffs of all sorts suffered terrible slump from sheer fear" As soon as it be- came apparent that Great Britain could police the seas, wheat rose 50 cents in price, meaning almost $200,- 000,000 to America; cotton went from 6 cents pound to 12 cents; flour from $6 barrel to $7.5O, and other exports advanced in proportion. The effect on international trade was im- mediate and far-reaching. A total paralysis was converted into an all most normal condition Great Britain and her allies have continued to carry on business as usual" despite the titanic struggle in which they are engaged.
 From a military point of view re- suits have been equally satisfactory. German trade has been swept from the seas and the German navy has been bottled up effectively for year and half. Since the last of it's com merce destroyeTs was chased into port and interned the activities of the Ger man navy have been confined to a limited radius Outside of the war zone an allied ship is practically as safe today as it was five years ago.
 It is interesting to note that while the British army has lost over half a million men and little or nothing has been accomplished, the navy has done its work with loss of less than one tenth of i per cent.
