New York, April Sit was day of
heavy trading with occasional sensa-
tional advances, increasing public in
terest. a strong undertone throughout
and firm closing.
There was an accumulation of out
of-town buying orders at the mar
ket" at the opening, which resulted in
a large volume of business and sharp
advance in the frst few minutes. The
irrecularity of the trading induced
some heavy selling which, however,
was readily absorbed. The character
of the dealings brought a more con-
seryatiye tone, several of the market
leaders stepping aside until it could

would go for stocks.
Steel Common Comes Back.

old position in the days dealings
There is an obstinate short interest
still open which fights every advance.
The price moved swiftly from 40 Is to
5OS-S where heavy selling was en-
countered. Traders called today's move

vance.
Bethlehem Steel ended at o.: a
new high quotation. Stockholders

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. Aprif ga notable contribution TO cur
rent estimates on the acreage question and use Of
fertilizer was in circulation today through Miss
Giles. While accepting the suggestions Of her nu-
merous correspondents that their present intention
was to reduce the acreage from 10 to 20 per cant
and the application Of fetilizer from % to y per
cent she qualified the estimate with opinion that
the decrease in acreage would not ultimately eI
coed IS per cent.
There is a manifest change in the intention Of
Southern planters from views expressed . month
ago TO increase the acreage compared with earlier
views
Export dearsnces continue heavy. The total to-
night was e.ss5.H balos compared with 7.03 3e

claration of a quarterly payment of

General Electric. high-grade S per

current business. Net earnings are said
to be at the rate of % per cent While
domestic business is about 70 per cent
of normal, the company is doing a heavy
share of the export business formerly
enjoyed by German manufacturers. This
new business is being handled on high
ly profitable basis.
Auto Stocks Advance.
Automobile issues advanced spectacu-
larry. Studebaker gained 31-2, Maxwell
Motor issues went to new high levels and
General Motors, which sold at 81 on Jam
uary 2. touched 129 3-4.
Short covering carried locomotive COM

later Considering that this company did
no earn the preferred dividend last year,
and the prospects for the current year
are anything but encouraging. the price
looks high.
Union Pacific, which rose nearly two
points. is becoming a strong favorite with
the older commission houses, which are
looking forward to movement which is
expected to carry the price above 100.
Rock Island preferred sold at IA.
Attempts were made today to gather in
a line of this stock. as it is expected that
any plans for raising new funds for the
railway company will include rights to
the stockholders of the holding COM
pany.
Bonds were overshadowed by stocks.
Many doubters have been whipped into
line, and few are now willing to deny
that the spring advance has begun. The

New York, and the Wall Street district
has not apparently developed leader

trading becomes too erratic or to hold 1t

The Logic of It.

| The question that the Executive had to con-
slider in demanding the recall OF Ambassador
Dumba was vital one. 1t may be expressed in
this way: Is the United States a nation only
a sort of Tom Tiddlcr's Ground upon which the
nationals of the belligerent powers OF Europe can,
under the directions OF representatives of those
powers wage sort of secondary warfare for the
benefit OF their respective fatherlands2
| Only the central empires have elected to regard
the United States in this light. But their activi-
tiles have been unccasing. First we had to get
rid of the Turkish Minister, it is the Austrian.
The activities OF Dr. Dernburg compelled to
arrange for his departure. Many still left who
will apparently have to go because they refuse to
recognize either in deed word the sovereignty
of the United States.
There is rule OF international law comfy
which requires neutral country to extend its hos
ptality to the nationals OF warning countries The
German and Austrian subjects in the United States
have right stay here unless the United States
so permits. And some would not remain here were
not the only alternative sojourn in a British
detention camp. They to that extent refugees.
The difference between German rescrvist who
stays in the United States because the British Will
catch him if he goes outside the three limit
and German soldier who steps across the border
into Holland and is interncd is only a technical
one.
The Austrian government has claimed the right
through its Ambassador to control the actions of
its nationals, to forbid their following certain
cupations. 1t assumes in particular to direct their
efforts in manner which is calculated to disrupt
the domestic affairs of the United States
To such claim, by whatever nation made, the
United States should answer Very we'll. Take
your nationals away We do not want them. We
cannot in times like the present assume the bur-
den of harboring men who recognize any authority
but our own"
Then Germany and Austria will say: Eve
not take them away because Great Britain con-
trolls the seas And the United States will
answer: That is no concern Of ours. Take them
away. Ii you do not will treat them COM
batants and intern them
And to the Austrian and German citizens af
fcctcd by this OF action would say: The
for you to take is very simple. If you
feel like the apostle that it is good to be here
just step around the corner and swear allegiance
10 Uncle Sam whose protection you much ap
prcciatc 1t is quite easy and not all expensive"
And it is safe bet that about 90 per cent of all
the Austrians and Hungarians and Germans whose
activities DR.. Dumba assumed to control would
Immediately sign OF this might not make
them any the less hyphcnated Americans. But it
would simplify matters considerably.

An Inspiring Ceremony.

Gen. Joseph Scwall Smith, governor of the
National Soldiers Homo at Hampton Va, has
recently introduced several reforming features at
that institution which might be observed at all
similar United States government posts with good
results. Chief among the new observanccs intro
duccd by Gen. Smith is the salute to the flag at
retreat" This ceremony. approxnating to the
"cvcnng parade by regular army garrsons OF the
United States, while simple, is interesting and most
impressive.
1t consists of the officers OF the home, COM
miSsioncd and noncommissioncd, some sixty in
number, assembling in full uniform at the COVER
nor'S headquarters at the close OF the afternoon
concert by the band, and with the governor at their
head, marching in platoons down the avenue to
the flagstaff. There, while the band plays "The
Star Spanglcd Banner all uncover in salute as the
flag is lowered for the night and the gun-hre
sounds over Hampton Roads. The color guard
then secures the flag and preceded by the band, a
fine ono in handsome hussar uniform, marches
away in escort to its depositary. The attendance
at the ceremony is usually large one from the
immediate vicinity and by visitors from Old Point
Comfort and Fortress Monroe: and the sentiment
OF loyalty to the nation inspired by the honors
paid to its symbol is of wholesome kind.
Cen Smith, who appointed governor Of
the Hampton Home last May, is civil
veteran of distinguished record, member OF the
Loyal Legion and wearing on his breast the Con-
gressonal medal OF honor" and the badge of
the Second Army Corps. He served throughout
the civil war. rising from second lieutenant in
the Seventh Maine Regiment of infantry to the
rank of lieutenant colonel on Gen Hancock's staff
and later was promoted to be brgadier general
for gallant and distinguished conduct in the field
