NEW ARMY BILL SIGNED BY
 WILSON

WASHINGTON, March Y. - The joint congressional resolution author izing the increase of the United States standing army to it's full strength of a hundred thousand men, was signed by President Wilson today, The re cruting officers throughout the coun- try are already at work filling the vacancies in the ranks, as they were instructed to secure the enlistments as soon as the bill passed the Senate.

TORPEDOED WITHOUT ANY
 WARNING

AMSTERDAM, March r. - The Dutch steamer Tubantia, which was torpedoed and sunk yesterday off the coast of the Netherlands, was the newest and finest steamship flying the French flag. Those on board who were rescued have been brought back to this city, and they are unanimous in stating that the vessel was tor pedoed, and that no warning was given before the attack. The Tubantia was bound from this city to South AmeTi- ca, and carried a crew of 294. There were S2 passengers on board. most of whom were citizens of neutral countries, including three Americans, Richard, Emma and Carmen Scholling. All of Holland is profoundly stirred by the attack on the ship. which is described in the most violent terms as an unwarranted act of piracy by the offending submarine. The public press reflects the anger and indignation of the populace, the Germans being blamed for the torpedoing, and the most bitter editorials are being pub lished, calling upon the government to act. The loss of life was small, the official figures not having been yet obtained.

O|L OF ALASKA WILL REDUCE
 PRICE

WASHINGTON, March 16. - Alas ka petroleum interests have asked the federal trade commission for permis- sion to be heard during the commis- sion's investigation of the increased price of gasoline.
 It is understood the Alaska interests will tell the commission of new pc troleum fields in Alaska containing oil of a high percentage in gasoline
 In fact, it is claimed that in the Katalla fields alone has been manu- factured gasoline from oil seepages which contain the highest percentage in gasoline of any oil yet discovered, The oils also are of the lighter va riety. and are considered the most valuable.
 Those interested in bringing the Alaska fields to the attention of the commission declare that transporta- tion is the only thing needed to solve the problem of opening to the general markets of the United States a vast supply of oil. It is claimed also that certain interests have been operating to keep the Alaska fields from being exploited and developed.

B|C DIVIDE N DS IN SIGHT FOR
 kENNECOTT

The Kennecott Copper Corporation. when it pays it's S1 a share quarterly dividend on the 31st of March. will have on hand, in cash and copper, in- cluding it's 25 per cent interest in Utah Copper, which carries with it 50 per cent interest in Nevada Con solidated. more than $30,O00,000.
 All the copper on hand has already been sold
 This gives one an idea of the won derfully strong financial position of the Kennecott, and forecasts a much larger distribution of dividends to it's shareholders in the event of a con- tinuance of the present prosperous copper conditions.
 As a matter of fact. Kennecott at present would have no difficulty in maintaining the present rate of s1 a share if copper prices dropped to point that might force some of the small high cost producers to suspendS operations.
 The dividend of S1 share calls for approximately s2,75O,OOO. With the Braden Copper Company mines in full operation, Kennecott l Copper will have a production of more than 325OO0.OOO pounds of copper year. including the 9 per cent equity in Utah and the 30 per cent equity lin Nevada Consolidated
 This would mean earnings of nearly 60,OOO,OOO annually on a basis of 35- cent copper, equal to nearly $22 q share. Of course, this estimate in figures give one a good idea of the more or less theoretical, as conditions in copper have been extraordinary in 1 the past for some time. However, the figures give one a good idea of the present phenomenal position of the industry.
