Big Steel Earnings.

The big development of the week, OF
course. was the United States Steel
Corporation's quarterly meeting. That
the net earnings for the period-Sol,- =
600 600 in round numbers came as
surprise is putting il mildly. The com
mon average of estimates was $15,OOO,-
600; a few optimists had ventured a
guess of S80,000000. For the first time
in its history the Steel Corporation
found itself in a position where IT
could afford to pay quarterly dlvldends
on the common stock at the rate OF
more than per cent year. On top OF
the Steel earnings and extra dividends
were the declarations of extra dlvl-
dends by other industrial corporations;
also a number of favorable railroad re-
ports. Besides this, the news from
Europe indicated further progress In
the grand offensive Of the Allied
/ armies. But the combination did not
bring any enthusiasm to the share ls'
nor was there any revival OF pubic IN
terest in securities. Bonds as well as
stocks Jagged.
While the Steel earnings merely re-
ported what has already taken place IN
the industry and which had become
more or less commonly known, current
developments in the iron and steel
trade are such as to point TO con-
tinuation of the huge volume Of bust
ness for many months to come. One Of
the trade publications last week en-
phasized the fact that everything now
points to a stronger steel market for
/ the rest of the year. Makers Of steel
it is said, are being called upon to re-
serve large tonnages of crude material
for shell making for delivery through
+ the first half of 1917. Domestic busi-
ness, on the other hand, has slackened,
yet the momentum of the industry is
such as to force prices higher instead

A Kansas Woman in War Zone
By LUCIA THORNTON


minute he called ON them"
The progress of the war in German!
during the past two years has shown
that in this one thing Mrs. Neidhart was
no false prophet.
Because of the fact that Mr. Neidhard
was nearing his fortieth birthday and
also perhaps because of his ability her
husband was not sent to the trenches
but was put on guard duty on the boun-
dairy between Alsase and France. All
during August and September of the
first year of the war, the letters coming
from Mrs. Neidhardt were filled with a
spirit of loyalty to Germany and graft
her husband had been stationed, for
while he had barely escaped bombs once
or twice it was generally acknowledged
that the position of his regiment was
by far the least dangerous because no
active skirmishes were INDUCED in.
During this period, Mrs. Nedhardt was
all German and the little cloud on her
horizon caused by the fear of a break in
the relations between Germany and
America was no bigger than a mans
hand.
Mrs. Neidhardt, we must not forget to
say was very pleasantly situated for
the turmoil of the times Shortly after
the departure of her husband she had
gone to live with rich American friend,
a widow who had like herself become
Germanized through marriage The
two women and the baby lived in a
Munich, and as far as material wants
were concerned they were supplied with
everything. Now, also, Mrs. Neidhardt
was receiving the Is marks per month
which the state paid to the wives of the
soldiers, and in winter this was in
creased to IS marks. She was pleasantly
situated and, up to the last word from
her. has never suffered hardships, like
thousands of others in the country were
doing. This fact has relieved her rela-
tives in America greatly and has partly
reconciled them to the fact that she re-
fuses to leave the country for which her
husband fights.
At the first outbreak she was urged
to come home, but with true Kansas
pluck, and wife's loyalty to husband
she has issued her ultimatum, and that
is, that so long as the war shall last, or
so long as her husband is alive she will
remain in Germany, and no persuasion
has been able to move her, even though
the darkness of her days has been in
creasing ever since.
In October of 1914 Mr.. Neidhardt was
sent to Cambria, where the regiment was
set to guard the entrance to the railroad
station, and as this was still safer than
the place he had quilted, his wife did not
fear for his life, and therefore escaped
The suspense which wrung the hearts of

settled down to her work with a deter
mination which did credit to her fathers
memory. She was surrounded by {
musical atmosphere and her companions
in those days was musical. Here it was
that she was destined to meet her great
sorrow and also her great joy. Her
teacher who was a professional trainer
of Grand Opera Singers and also a ia
nous musical director, was Kapellmeis-
ter Heinrich Neidhradt and a man very
prominent in the musical circles of the
city. From his lips she heard the words
that caused both her grief and her glad
ness. For after year of training, he
was obliged to tell his pupil that her
voice would never be powerful enough
for Grand Opera work and that the best
she could hope to do would be concert
singing. But he also told her other and
pleasanter things it seems, for, in De
cember, 1912, the two were married and
settled down in Munich to a life which
appeared all sunshine.
Mrs. Neidhardt kept up her voice
studies and with her work and her hus-
band she was confident that she was the
happiest woman in the world Munich
was delightful city filled with people
who were interested in the thing at
which her husband was master. She
was surrounded by numbers of fond
friends and her letters home to relatives
during this period breathe a spirit of
soul satisfaction which it is not given
to many women to possess. She worked
by her husbands side and all her days
were happy ones.
Thus sped on two uneventful but Joy
full years, and then on the very day when
it seemed that God had poured upon her
the utmost sweetness of his smile, there
came the HORROR. Her son was born
on the day that war was declared in Ger
many, and her husband was called to do
service duty when the child was but a
of intelligence had lightened in the eyes
of his small son. the father shouldered
his arms and went forth to battle leav-
ing all he loved behind From that time
only the fragmentary letters written by
Mrs Neidhardt which have reached her
relatives in America, have served to
show what the Kansas woman is living
through. The first letter to reach here
was dated August oath, 1914, and in this
she writes of the splendid pa
triotism displayed by the German sol
diers. Her words breathe enthusiasm,
and it is easy to see that the cause of
Germany is very dear to her For an
out and out American with the double
blessing of having been born, raised and
in Kansas, in sentiment the

Neidhardt gives what must be accepted
