MACKAY COMPANIES
INSIST ON CAUTION
Could Pay Extra Dividend This
Year, but Prudence De.
mands Otherwise.
BETTER WAIf WARS END

Although IL would he possible for the
trustees Of the Mackay Companies to
pay stockholders an extra dividend this
year. this will not be done, according to
the statement of Clarence II. Mackay,
pres.dcnt OF the trustees, at the annual
meeting held In Boston yesterday. Pru-
dencc requires that the trustees await
the effect on the worlds business Of the
termination Of the European war. His
tory shows that financial depression In
ono great country has Its reflex In
others. In his report among other
thlngs Mr.. Mackay. for the trustees,
Gays:
1T q entirely possible for your
trustees TO increase tho dividend on
your common shares. but in view OF the
uncertainty of tho future this Ii deemed
1nadvisab!c. Your trustees are more
concerned 10 insure the permanency Of a
fair return on your investment than TO
create . temporary enthusiasm by the
distribution OF the extra earnings Of a
profitable year. The war may termi-
nate at any time. and upon It's terminA-
tion Il Il impossible 20 say whether the
present high tide OF prosperity In the
United States will continue.
1T IL difficult to see o this coun-
tY q keep up with the present de-
gree Of prosperity when practically all
other countries will be adjusting and
paying debts. with further heavy taxes

under heavy obligations restricts his
basiness operations and consumption.
and the same would seem 10 apply to
q nation. a merchant has little trade
when his chief customers are economiz-
Ing 70 pas debts. We are aware that
others entertain n different view and
believe that this country Gar prosper
Irrespective Of tho desperate financial
condition Of the other great nations of
the world.
1.-THE experience. however. o: the
whole world for a few years after the
l,oer war would indicate that where
oven a single great nation is depressed
by financial losses and disturbances due

prosperity Of all nations. Accordingly.
your trustees do not believe that any
policy OF higher dividends and ~exploita-
ton should be adopted at present. II,
after tho close Of the war. II trans
plres that the volume OF telegraph and

may have been, II is a chronicled fact
that when young Captain Gore was or
dered to ireland with his regiment in
1921 he carried grants to lands in
Counties Mayo and Galway, and a bar
onetcy that made him Sir Paul Gore, OF
Manor Gore.
The second son, Arthur, inherited the
title and became ancestor of the Earls
Of Arran, OF Arran Islands, County Gal
way, while his younger brother Francis
was knfghted and founded the line Of
Gore Booths. The re-Booth barony
was conferred August 80. 1850. upon the
third in line.
Constance Georgina Gore Booth, Coun-
tess Markievicz, was the third child and
eldest daughter of Sir Henry William
Gore-Booth, fifth baronet She was born
in the manor house at Lissadell County
Sligo. Erin is additionally a land OF
folklore. The peasants see elves and
other fairy people on the greens in ;he
1ickering beams Of the moon, every peak
and valley has It's legends, and, inter
woven with the fabric of the narratives,
is the constantly recurring thread of per-
secution.
And so in her babyhood from the
peasantry OF manor she imbibed the
spirit of Ireland-the spirit which courts
sacrifice and gladly yields life II one lit
tie step forward can be accomplished.
She grew up loving her country and hat
ing its enemies. Rarely beautiful, of the
pure Irish type, undefiled by crossing
with alien blood, she also was endowed
with a keen mind that was not content
to walk in designated paths, but excur-
stoned in fields to which her fancy led
her.
When the time came for her to be
loosed from the governesses and to go
abroad for requirement of the education
which hallmarks the gently born, she
knew much of the heroes of her race and
adored them for their heroism. In Eng
land and on the continent she expanded
with what came to her from books, but
infinitely more from what she gathered
OF life. Her vague resentments toward
persecution famed into anger at con-
ditions which she came to realize as
actualities.
In Paris she sought contact with rev.
olutionaries of many countries. Not the
ragamuffins who talk wildly of dynamite
and death without coherent intent or
cohesive organization, but rather the in
telligent exiles who foregathered in the
French capital to plot consequential re-
forms and plan systematic campaigns.

Eugene Sandow, who not so long ago displayed
for vaudeville theater's admission price his
strength and perfect physical manhood, is said to
have been executed in the Tower late in the year
1915. The fact has never been announced by the
British department.
The kaisers we'll known fondness for the
Mosaic idea of reprisals discourages publicity in
little affa airs of this kind.
1t is a far cry from 1920 to 1913, the former
representing the date when state prisoner last
confined in the Tower before the roundup of Ger
spies following the war declaration. Now the
torture room is gone, for which prisoners may be
grateful, and it is longer a proper method for
assassins to be admitted in the night to anticipate

Alien Prisoner of TODAY

George, when the who directed and financed
