lesser degree the same has been
true Of the smaller railroads. 's'
Now comes a report Of the United
States Steel Company to show that
since the war began foreign inves-
tors have sold back to American in
vestors more than $4,000 shares Of
Steel common and more than $4,000
shares Of Steel preferred. -
II would be impossible to tell at
exactly what average price these
transactions took place; but the
greater part Of them are known to
have been in recent months when
Steel had risen far above its low
quotations. a
The war fluctuations of Steel stock
may be described as approximately
between forty and NINETY. II the
average return to the foreign in
vestor on his common stock sold here
because Of war necessity was no
higher than seventy-and very likely
It was higher-then the exchanging
valve Of the securities taken back
from foreign investors in the COM
mon and preferred stocks of the
Steel Company alone would we'll sur
pass fifty millions of dollars!
No matter what happens when the
war is over, at least we are going to
have lodged in this country, perhaps
never again to go out of it, hun
dreds and hundreds Of millions of
American securities which have been
owned abroad, which represented a
very considerable part of the surplus
wealth of the Old World, which
drained incessant streams Of divi-
dends and interest from this country
to those foreign countries.
We are, going to have that interest
and those dividends-a prodigious
How OF annual wealth-going into
the pockets of their new American
holders, and thence, as their spend
ings are diffused far and wide among
the whole American people, stimu-
lating productive energy at home
rather than abroad, supporting in
dustries and wage-earners here
rather than abroad, piling up surplus
wealth in the United States rather
than abroad.
This result Of the transfer back
into our hands of our own securities
in vast volume and value we can be
sure of as lasting benefit after the
war. Perhaps we cannot be abso-
lutely sure Of single other one.

A SWISS MERCHANT MARINEl

One Of the oldest and most be-
draggled jokes is about to be retired
from circulation. It's the one about
the Swiss navy and the Swiss mer-
chant marine. Switzerland has the
worlds most extensive littoral of
skyline, but quite its most limited
one of coastline. Nevertheless, the
country is figuring seriously on buy
ing ships, sailing them under the
Swiss flag, and using them to bring
foodstuffs to ports of other countries,
whence they might be brought into
Switzerland.
II would be a new experiment in
the creation of maritime power, this
of creating a merchant marine for a
country with no outlook on the ocean,
but there is no apparent reason why
it would not work. Switzerland
would have to lease or otherwise in
sure harbor privileges in some other
country, and then to establish COM
munications by which to bring goods
into Switzerland in bond through
alien territory, but it would not be
much more difficult than some re-
lated arrangements that have beer
made in the past, notably in bring
ing supplies into the Boer republics
even when they were at war, through

Jackson's Slugging Keeps

by the Windy City Club.

A triple by Ness in the Sox fourth,
followed by Jackson's double, produced
a run. Weaver singled to open Chica go S
sixth and Eddie Collins sacrificed. Ness
scratched a single to Mcbride, putting
Weaver on third.
Jackson unbuckled another double,
scoring Weaver. At this stage Boehling
was sent to the clubhouse and Doc
Ayers put to work. Felsch and Schalk
greeted Ayres with singles, and two more
hostile runs splashed over the plate.
Three well punched singles in the seventh
gave the homefolks another marker which
was not needed.
Howard Shanks played a great game in
the field. MCBride's shortstopping was
also par excellence. in fact the whole

Griffith to Release Some

"Old Fox" to Tie Can on Two Local Moundsmen
Unless Real Form Is Shown-McGovern
Will Report in St. Louis.

Chicago, June 1.-Unless a return to
form is shown soon. two pitchers at pres
ent drawing wages with the Washington
club are both slated for a change of
scenery.
The pitchers in question have been
given plenty Of opportunity to show why
they should be retained and they have
failed to deliver the goods.
For the present the names Of these
twirlers will not be disclosed. for Grif-
fifth Is not quite convinced in his own
mind that such step contemplated will
be necessary, but one thing is certain
the Old Fox will not clos up his machine
with lot OF deadwood in the 1inging
department.
The real test for a pitcher is when the
club is in a slump are the Nationals
right now. Not only have these two
pitchers been found wanting while on
the road, but they could not deliver when
the club was going at top speed on the
home grounds.
When the Nationals reach St Louis
next Thursday. Kenneth McGovern, the
big rangy college southpaw. signed upon
the recommendation Of Nick AltrOCk, will
join the club Just as soon as the Grin-
men return to the Capital another col
iege pitcher is slated to be given d trial.
If both the college youngsters show
signs Of future greatness, GriT will lose
no time whipping out his pruning knife
TO make room for them.
Since leaving home the Nationals have
lost nine games. Won but one and tied
one. Yet the club is still in third place
and only a few points behind the league

policy with Lloyds. The policy is being

June %, the date of the contest. This Is
the largest policy ever written on a sport

any loss in the event of rain
The club is paying Moran and Dillon

against the Marine Corps team, of the
Government League, by an S-to-6 score.

had nothing with which to fool the SER

went to the rescue of Mitchell and held
