Schwab's Remarkable Forecast

New York, November 12-(Special. ] Prophecies of Charles M Schwab, presi- dent of the Bethelehem Steel corpora tion, have been rema rkably accurate, although at the time they were made many manufacturers familiar with the iron and steel industry put them down as entirely too optimistic. But the iron and steel industry has grown even more rapidly than MT. Schwab predicted 15 years ago.
 When MT. Schwab became the first president of the United States Steel corporation he startled the iron and steel industry with the following fore- cast:
 The growth of the steel and iron industry over the next 20 years will be marvelous--in fact beyond the dreams of the most optimistic. It is my pre- diction that by 1910 this country will be producing at the rate of 10000, ,000 tons of steal annually. and by 1920 40,- 100000 tons annually"
 This forecast of MT. Scwab was made in the early part of 1901. As the United States produced only 10,188,329 tons of steel ingots and castings in 1900 there is little wonder that MT. Schwab's flg- ures were put down by many as physi- cal impossibility.
 But in 1910 the United States pro- duced 26,094,919 tons of steel ingots and castings, more than 6,000,000 tons in excess of the Schwab forecast In fact the 10000. .000-ton mark was passed in 1905, anticipating the Schwab forecast by five years.

OUT 0F THE EARTH ! COMES THIS FORCE One of Marvels of America Is Vitalitas Mine Being
 Worked in Texas

The mining and handling of Vitalitas is becoming an important industry at one isolated spot in the coast country of Texas, an industry that will prove of value to the entire world. Nowhere else on or within the earth has a sim ilaI substance been located. Crude Vi- talitias, after being mined, is shipped to laboratories at Houston, Tex, where by an extraction process all the chem ical properties and forces are reduced to a condensed liquid form.
 Vitalitas is daily bringing health and happiness to thousands of sufferers throughout the south. It is one of natures great gifts to mankind, and is proving a beacon light to sick and suffering everywhere Many forms of disease that defy ordinary medical treatment are swept away by it. It's tonic, corrective and system cleansing effects are marvellous. There are no known mineral waters that equal it in the treatment of indigestion, rheuma- - tism, catarrh, debility and chronic dis orders generally of stomach, liver, kid neys bowels and blood.

BLOCKS
 TRAFFIC AT MEMPHIS

Memphis, November 12.-The forma- tion of a sandbar in the Mississippi river in front of the Memphis wharves which has almost completely blocked the local harbor today resulted in tele- grams being sent to President Wilson, Secretary of War Garrison and> >Col. c. McD. Townsend, chairman of the Mis- sippi river commission, urging imme- diate relief. The telegrams were signed by the American Association of Matters, Mates and Pilots and representatives of local organizations.
 The encroachment of the bar, to- gether with the fall in the stage of the river. is said also to menace the health of the city. There is not sufficient wa ter at present between the island and the levee to carry off the sewerage from the city miness
 Plans to divert the channel of the river so that the main current will wash away the bar are being consid- cred by government engineers.

EDUCATED MINISTRY
 IS NEED OF NEGROES
Financial Affairs of ColOred Methodist Conference Found to Be We'll and
 Satisfactorily Handled

50 far as the negro race is concerned, it needs more and more an educated min istry. In every community the negro preacher has been the real leader of the people, their guide of thought and action and as crude as his work may have been in days past, it was the best for his race.' This statement was made by Bishop N. c. 'Cleaves before the North Alabama conference of the Colored Meth odist Episcopal church, at Trinity Col ored Methodist Episcopal church, Pratt City. in plea for an educated and con- secrated ministry.
 A large contribution was given for the help of the family of the late Bishop G. w. Stewart.
 The remarkable fact was determined after all the reports were in that the conference had raised all the assessment allotted to it by the board of equaliza- tion and has some, money to its credit in addition. This amounted to nearly 5000 and breaks the record in point of finance of any Alabama conference.
 The joint board of finance, under the immediate direction of the Rev. W. J.
 uIllcf Ol AoSSSCiiiCi, iieto SSSA Siou5iiAS organized and, according to a statement from the bishop. was handling the money in business-like manner and with en- tire satisfaction.
 In the reports from the Birmingham district those made by the following min isters were highly satisfactory and were commended: w. H. Bell, s. F. Thompson, P. S. Roe H. M. Sealey, J. E. King, E. B Reynolds. Vinson, J. w. Wheeler,
 W. H. Howard. J. N. Patrick, D. B. Williamson. J. A. stripln, s: s. sher- ron
 Sunday April ?. was set aside by the conference as the day when special ser. mons should be preached in memory of Bishop Asbury.
 Dr. l.. E. B. Rosser of Washington secretary of the ministerial alliance. rep resented the work of his department be- fore the conference. Other departmental addresses have been made by Dr. A. R Calhoun of Pine Bluff, Ark, representing the aEpworth league, and Dr. R. S. Stout of Pne Bluff. for the church extension de- partment. The report of the annual conference i board of education is scheduled for Satur- l day morning, when the general secretary of education, Dr. James A. Bray. will deliver an address on Evidences of Rea l Progress Among Negroes"

Money fer Interior Banks

New York, November 12.-(Special.) )-Al- though late in the season demand for money is developing in the interior This was made evident last week when the local banks reported loss on their oper- ations with the interior of $559,O00 It was the first loss shown 50 far this season. Up to last week the New York banks had been gaining large amounts on bal ance on this movement Another indica- tion of the interior demand for funds is the decline in domestic exchange At Chicago, New York funds have gone on 20 cents per 5000 discount. While this is not unusual during the crop moving period it is worthy of passing note be- cause of the very general supply of money throughout the country

Southern Railway Hard Hit by War

New York, November 12-(Special.) The Southern railway in the year ended June 30 was hard hit by the war. The annual report, issued yesterday, shows that the railways gross operating reve- nues were $40, ,458,S57, a decrease of $s,- 651, 4S7, or 12.40 per cent A curtailment of operating expenses by s5,5S5, 93S. or 10. .79 per cent, enabled the railway-company to make somewhat better showing than had been expected. The net revenue from operation was s16,024,79S, a decrease of 2,986,648, or 15.62 per cent.
 The flame of war which burst forth all over Europe at the beginning of Au- gust. 1914" says President Fairfax Har- rison in the report to the stockholders, had sudden and whitening effect on industry in the south. The re- suit was fall, as vertiginous as that of the price of cotton, in the revenues of the railways of the south. and this lean diet was protracted, with the condition which caused it, throughout the year.
 MT. Harrison says in his report that the Southern railway does not propose for the present to buy or build new railroad. The policy of the company, he says, is to have better railroad" instead of more railroad.

LITTLE STORIES
 TELL PROSPERITY
 OF WHOLE NATION
Railroads Become Prosperous

Chicago. November 12.--(Special.)-" "Evi- dence is accommodating that the tide has turned and that general business is rap- idly returning to condition of pros perity. with the good consequent effect on the welfare of the railroads and the rail- road supply industry" says the Railway Age Gazette in it's current issue. Many railroad officers whose chief concern for years has been to reduce expenses wher- ever possible. and sometimes where it has seemed impossible, now find their hands filled with the work of handling the busi- ness offered.
 Preliminary reports from large roads operating 117.734 miles compiled by the interstate commerce commission indicate an increase in total operating revenues per mile from s121s in September, 1914 to s129e in September, 1915, or 6.2 per cent, and in net operating revenues per mile from S408 to $4S4, or IS per cent,
 Evidence of a renewed buying activity on the part of the railroads are numerous. Since October 1 the Railway Age Gazette has reported in its news columns orders for 653,000 tons of rails which represents an expenditure of over $19,000o00. Includ- ing 1T,5oo tons reported in our columns in September. this makes total expenditure of over 900 for rails alone. With this rail there were placed orders for at least $3,000,000 worth of track fastenings.i It has been the practice of the railways In previous years to place their rail or ders about the first of the year, but this year, on account of the congestion in the steel mills caused py the buying from abroad. they are beginning to place them much earlier than usual to secure deliv- cry at the time the rails will be needed
