not be lightly dismissed said Rear
Admiral Francis T. Bowles, retired

but England; that Germany is ready
to make peace with Russia and
France, but never with England. The

cei,cd the annual report for the year

In his annual report, Pierre 5. DUPONT,

CAS- stated in the last annual report.
the earnings of the year 1918 arc not to
be compared with those Of previous
years on account Of the segregation of o
large part Of the company's assets into
the Hercules and Atlas Powder Compan-
les, which were created in accordance
with the decree Of the United States
Circuit Court The year 1914, the Sec
ond under the new conditions, may be
safely compared with 1918. The COM
parison is gratifying and shows an in
crease in earnings despite the very poor
general business condition. The in.
crease is explained by the activity in
demand for military explosives during
the latter part of the year. Our report
Tor the year 1913 called attention Ia
the small need for additional factories
Depressed conditions have warranted
continuing the policy Of retrenching and
comparatively small amounts have been
expended for new construction during
the year; excepting, however, that the
demand for military powders has called
for increases in the capacity of the fac.
tories manufacturing this class Of ex.
plosives. Such expenditure will not add
materially TO the total capital invest
ment of the company. Owing to the
comparatively short duration OF demand
It will be necessary TO write OF the
