SHIP OWNERS PROSPER.

New York.-In large advertisements a
brokerage firm urges the public to buy
United States Steamship company bonds
to the value of $2,5Oo,oOO. The company
was recently organized with an author
lied capital of $25,O0O,O0O and has con-
tracted for the purchase OF at least s712
per cent of the stock of 13 eastern steam
ship companies. Six new vessels are
under construction with facilities for
building II additional vessels The brok-
ers assure the public that:
Earnings of the United States Steam

strong position to meet the requirements
of the present demand for increased
shipping facilities and for the prospect
of further increases in years to come"

ACT OF FANATIC
of Premier Thru
War Insanity.
Fail to Connect Crime With
Any Party Activity.

Berlin, Oct. 23-via London.-An
accounts in the morning papers agree
in calling the assassination of Pre-
nier Stuergkh of Austria, the act of
an irresponsible fanatic. if not a
neurasthenic whose mind has given
way under the strain of the war. The
Voerwaerts which expresses the
strongest disapprova1 of Doctor Adj
ler's deed declares that he was I'M
doubtedly demented when he commit
ted the murder as nobody in his senses
could have expected favorable results
from such an act.
There is no disposition to charge
Adler's act to the parties which de-
rnanded the reconvening of the diet.
Count Won Stuergkh's death evoked
general expression in the press of per-
sonal sympathy and horror at the
deed.
The Austrian premier started his
political life as a member of the Lib
era, group in the diet but he fought
franchise reform and was defeated in
two attempts at reelection. As an
elective member of the lower house.
Premier Stuergkn mad advocated the
German cause in the complicated
struggle of nationalities in the Aus
TRAN state. But as a minister, he had
favored the Slav cause in the educa-
tional struggle in Syria.
Up to the outbreak of the war he
had coquetted with the Czech party in
the struggle with the Germans in Bo-
hernia and later testified in behalf of
the Czech leader, DIR. Karl Kramarz
at his trial for treason.

pared. Calculation as to the value of
the tanks are hard to make, but taking
the average opinion of experts at the
front these weird new motor cars have
saved loss of 10000 men or more
than a full division in the reduction
of strong points and machine gun
positions.
Not in ground gained, or positions
or guns taken, does opinion at the
front lay most emphasis of nearly
four months ceaseless fighting, every
day bringing its lessons. Officers are
always using the word morale. which
means the spirit and team play an
army puts into its work. 1t is the
thing which at the end of the tenth
round of a twenty round fight, when
both pugilists are still standing up
well to each other, indicates the win
ner.
British Morale That of Attacker.
The British after nearly two years
of stalling. have been fighting week
after week on soil taken from their
foe. The British morale has become
the morale of attack. The offensive
has been the school of war with death
as tutor. AS one staff officer said
IF we had July l to do over again
we should accomplish the same re-
suit with less loss. By fighting, the

Before the grand offensive, the
British staff and commanders. those
few professionals who were trained to
direct the regular army realized fully
their immense responsibility in send
ing an army trained in theory against
the experienced German organization.
At that time one commander recalled
to the correspondent saying of Won
Moltke that altho the German as a SOL
der might not be better than his en-
i H.. xrer

Young Leaders Win.
Actual battle conditions have reveal
ed, as no theoretical tests could, those
officers who are fit to lead. The route
to promotion has become success in
action. Generals in the thirties and
forties now direct the fighting in the
field and battalion commanders VIII }
are not yet thirty have ceased to be
uncommon. To the correspondent the
Improvement in the army week by
week has been one of the most inter-
esting and evident features of his long
stay at the front.
But the British officers think only
of the experience gained for the flu
ture and keep repeating that word
morale. A wounded British soldier
sitting beside the road recently said
to the correspondent: Maybe the time
will come when only one Britisher and
one German will be left alive. If so
the British will be on top This is
what the officers mean by morale and
explains why they judge the summer
work of the new army in the light
alone of that word.
