BULLISH MOVE
PURELY VERBAL
Street" Of Opinion that Op.
orators Real Views Are
Under Cover.
COPPER STOCKS STRONG
Mercantile Marine and Munitions IS
sues Sell Freely-German u
Boat Activity Feared.

New York. Feb. 14-AII Wall street
was verbally bullish today, but stocks
were pressed for sale throughout the ses-
sions' and the suspicion was that some
Of the operators had neglected TO express
their real views Copper stocks acted
as if under manipulation for the purpose
of making a satxet for other issues.
They were the only group it was possi-
bic to hold strong. Back of their strength
was the fact that copper futures sold
at abOuL the high price Of the cappaign.
What strengthened the belief that the
COppeTs were manipulated was the fact
that extremely good news i'm other quar-
tiers failed to sustain stocks. Mexican
Petroleum, for instance. had nothing
more than an early squirt OF two points
and lost that although the company has
just brought in what at the moment
stands as the greatest oil well in he
world. Under ordinary circumstances
such a we'll would be worth ten points
in the market.
Fear German Threats.
Mercantile Marine issues were sold
freely, as were the munitions stocks.
Both went down because the street fears
Germany intends to do some terrible ex-
ecution in the war against armed lin
Crs that is TO begin on March !. All the
news on Mercantile Marine in other
directions was bullish and included an
other pOstpOnement Of the court hearing
in the sO-called receivership suits The
adjective ''so-called" is used advisedly-
nearly everybody in the street refers to
this litigation as the burglary case"
Arrival of about s14.oO0,OOO of Sc
curities from Europe was used early
in the day for a lazy explanation of
the weakness Of the market, the vol
ume being doubled for that purpose.
Professional operators admit that there
is nothing the matter with the market;
they insist that its foundations are
strong. but they admi they are
little nervous over the new German
program.
Wall Street received with disap-
proval President Wilson's formal an

living with another woman and her baby.
, The physician, who IS go vears old, was
married twice. His first wife was Miss
Elizabeth Blddle, of this city, who died
in 1887.
News of the suit and the fact that his
brother was alive in Montreal came as a

Shortly after the case was decided Miller
disappeared.

BELGIAN WOMAN, A HEROINE,
PLEADS FOR BELGIAN HEROES
Viscomtesse de Rancougne Asks Aid
for "Back- Line" Families

The Nicomtessc de Rancougne thrilled
n large audience in the Emergency Aid
headquarters in Walnut street today with
European war stories of daring and hero
ism of which most of those present
thought women incapable.
The ViComtesse took occasion to ex-
plain her mission to this country and
describe in detail just what the situa-
tion Is in war-torn Belgium. She care
fully distinguished between the work of
the National Commission for Relief in
Belgium and the work upon which she
activities are confined ID the invaded part
of Belgium, and heretofore little help has
been given the 10000 people occupying n
mere strip of territory along the sea coast
near Ostend, which is still in the possess
sion of the Belgian King and the Allies.
1t is to obtain funds to buy clothing
and supplies for these people that the
Vicomtessc is here. The Vicomtesse is
very girlish looking and dresses in sim
pie drab uniform, patterned after that
of the -elginn private. She appears far
too weak to undergo the hardships of life
near the battle 'front.' to say nothing OF
doing Il mans work every day driving
motorcar.
Yet such is the sort of woman she is.
She dislikes to talk about her heroic
feat of driving a motorcar into the Ypres
section when the battle was at its height
to carry 2O DolleS ot mix TO dying
babies. She was actually under fire and
many shells fell perlously close to her
machine.
For my soldiers l come to ask you
Phlladelphians to help the families back
of the firing line" said the Nicomtesse
in her strong appeal for assistance. You
can relieve the strain on the soldiers in
the trenches by sending supplies to their
families. With the knowledge that their
dear ones are properly cared for they will
bear the hardships much better
