None of Passengers or
Crew of French Vessel
Mira Saved.
SUNK ON MAY Is
IN MEDITERRANEAN
Fourth German Merchantmen
Destroyed by British Subma-
rine in Baltic.

London. May 10. None Of the passen-
gers or crew of the French coasting
steamer Mira were saved when she
was sunk as a result of a torpedo at
tack in the Mediterranean on May Is,
says a dispatch from Marseilles.
Sinking Of the steamer Mira was an
nounced by Lloyds here yesterday, but
TO details of the disaster were given.
The Mira was a vessel Of $3.50 tons,
owned in Marseilles.
The new submarine campaign against
German shipping in the Baltic is re-
ported TO have resulted in the destruc-
ton of another German merchantmen.
Following yesterdays announcements
Of the sinking of three German YES
sells. a Copenhagen dispatch TO the Elk
change Telegraph Company to-day says
a fourth vessel. the Trave, OF 762 tons,
was sunk last evening by subma-
rine The steamer was bound from Lu-
beck. Germany, for Norway, with coal.
Her crew OF seventeen was saved.
A dispatch from Hull to Lloyds says
that the motor fishing boat Osprey has
been sunk by the gunfre Of German
submarine. The crew was picked up.
Dutch newspapers seek technical
explanation of the Dutch Naval De-
uartment's communication on Thurs-
day concerning the inquiry into the
sinking Of the steamer Tubantia, says
a Hague dispatch. They cannot under
stand how a torpedo could remain ac-
tive for ten days, and cite the Hague
convention Of 1907. which forbids the
use Of torpedoes which do not become
harmless after missing their mark.
1t is expected that Germany ulti-
mately will admit the submarine COM
mander made "a mistake" and offer re-
prets and conversation.

Censorship Has Been Rigid.

FL Arish is fortified town of Egypt,
on the Mediterranean, about seventy
five miles to the east of Quatia. at
which point fighting occurred recently
between Turkish and British troops.
1t lies on the main highroad from Pal
estine 20 the Suez Canal. paralleling
the coast
The censors have permitted compare
lively little information regarding the
military situation on this front TO be-
come known. but so far as can be
gathered from the infrequent official
bulletins, the fighting has been confined
TO comparatively small forces.
There has been nothing to indicate
that an invasion Of Egypt on a large
scale is being attempted, although the
reference in to-day's official announce
ment TO the Turkish line Of communi-
cations implies an organized military
effort

Chattanooga, Tenn. May 10. Con
contration OF Americas growing wealth
in the hands of comparatively few

an address here to-day at convention

Mr.. Williams urged bankers and
financial leaders 10 try strenuously %

develop their business. Such policy,
he said, would increase the aggregate
wealth Of the nation and would pro-
mote contentment and patriotism
among the people. Mr. Williams said
the rapid increase IN wealth OF the
United States was producing IAN os-
tontatious leisure class. which il dan
ger even more than angered poverty"
ain almost exact ratio as wealth and
capital increase the bitterness against
wealth and capital also increases" Mr..
Williams declared. "Not socialism. but

Million Dollars A Letter

Baking powder is a simple an in
offensive thing-really it seems a
shame to jump on it.
But this particular baking powder
has been behaving in such an un-
seemly, or shall we say seemly, man.
ner, that it interests us who are seek
ing to understand the philosophy or
principles that govern making money
honestly and clearly.
Some years ago j. c. Hoagland
started a business of his own in Fort
Wayne, Ind. He said to himself: 81
will find some article for which there
is a widespread need. I will manufac-
ture that article and tell the people
about it until the need for it has be-
come a demand"
He opened a little shop on a side
street. At night he was the manu-
featuring department. During the
day he was the sales organization.
Pretty soon Fort Wayne began to
take notice. The young man was
making a dent on the town. He had
a good product at a profitable price,
and he preached it's merits so persist
emily and relentlessly that people
could not get away from it.
He had good management.
What happened
A few years later the dingy little
shop in Fort Wayne had been trans
formed into a New York office build
ing with mahogany furniture, and the
business had attracted the attention
of the big financiers.
Finally one day a meeting of four
men was held in that office building.
"And now, Mr.. Hoagland," said
n of them, 1--WE are ready to make
you an offer"
"Name it, gentlemen" said Hoag-
land.
"We will give you," said the anxious
purchaser, zone million dollars a
word for the name Royal Baking
Powder"
"I think not" he answered. "I
consider the article worth just about
a million dollars a letter."
Nor was that an exaggeration.
The Royal Baking Powder company
was organized in 1899 with a capital
stock of $4,000, 900. It has paid and
is paying upwards of two million dol
lars a year in dividends.
From a capital of an average
months salary in Fort Wayne to a
twenty million dollar company in New
. York, earning two million dollars a
year, is a concrete example of the
science Of investment in action,
A few dollars invested in Hoag-
lands enterprise in the Fort Wayne
days would have grown into tens of
thousands, yes hundreds, in a few
years. Yet there were men who
dared not, men who did not have the
sagacity to see the good things be-
fore them, and men who did not be-
lieve the young enthusiast and work.
