New York, April 1-(Special.)-The New York Times prints the following:
 A summary of resources of the leading industrial corporations of the country at the end of 1915, disclosed by annual state ments, showed the tremendous extent to which cash poured into their treasuries last year. In large part the iflow re- suited from orders for war munitions, but the expansion of normal business contrib uted enough to indicate that manufactur- ing underwent an extraordinary improve ment compared with the preceding year The reports of 1s companies show an az gregate of nearly $35O, ,OOOo o0o in cash and loans as of December 31. 1915
 The United States Steel corporation headed the list with approxima tely $1O0,- 000,000 cash at the end of the year, fig ure which has since increased to $110,0 ,00C,- 900 or more. The Bethlehem Steel corpor- ation subscribed to s25, 900 Anglo-French bonds, which presumably absorbed cash close up to this amount and, in addition, when the year ended, had S15,000,00O cash in bank. The American Shelters Securi- ties company and the American SmeltIng and Refining company. together, practl- cally doubled their cash holdings of the 1914 year.

England, France, Italy and Russia are
doing, by their physical work, we are
putting down the great enemy of

has always frustrated the efforts of
German women to rise from their
subordinate position and he typifies
the attitude of the German men. At
that, however, the German women
will have to fight out their own saliva
ton after the war, along with the
men. They won't get any help from
us. There has been too much inter-
nationalism heretofore. Now, it will
be matter for each nation to solve
many of its own problems and in par
ticular the German nation.
