Gallieni and His Taxicab bs.

From the New York World.
One feat no less decisive than pic
turesque will always stand out in the dis
tinguished military career Of Gen. Gal

ber, 1914, he loaded into taXicabs 10000
men Of the army of defense Of Paris and
rushed them to the aid of Gen. Maunoury.
who was about to strike at Gen. Won
Kluck's flank. he made certain that Paris
was to be saved. That was the task
which had been assigned to him. From
the moment that Won Kluck was forced to
retreat and the French, under Foch,
routed the Germans at Fere- -Champenoise.
the German plan of campaign was a
failure.
The taxicabs of Paris in the days Of
peace had not been such as to command
universal admiration. They had earned
the reputation of being recklessly driven
and murderous In operation. Gallieni, by
a stroke Of genius, converted them into
efficient engines of~war. One thing that
the German general staff, with its mar
velous foresight in preparing for the
war, could never have foreseen was the
swift transport of Gallienis corps through
the mobilization of thousands Of shabby
little taXicabs. But in Gallieni's calcula-
tions it was not an accident. He was
prepared and waiting, and he struck at
the right instant

PEELED his retirement, he showed great
energy and ability in building up the
French army after the first disastrous ex-
periences of the war. But his place in
history will be fixed as the hero of the
taxicab army that saved Paris.

YOUR MONEY At WORK
Can You Get 6 Per Cent on
Your Savings?
BY JOHN M. osKIsoN.

Before giving the figures in cor
respondents letter I want to say that
for the average saver it is not yet easy
as much as 6 per cent. Savings banks
pay 8, 3la, 4 and sometimes as high
as 5 per cent. and to the average saver
the savings bank is the natural goal.
However, many building and loan as
sociations pay as much as per cent,
and more real investments paying that
much are being offered to the small
buyer on installments.
My correspondent says:
"One who earns $40 a week should
save 10 per cent, with greater pro-
portion for higher earnings.
beginning at the age of twenty, one
who will save 81 a week and invest it
in per cent securities. allowing it to
accumulate. will have ss.O92 at the age
of sixty. His savings will amount to
s2,00S. and interest earnings during the
forty years will total s6.012-nearly
three times his savings. At the age
OF sixty interest earnings will be over
$40 month, about equal to his salary.
If We assume he gets $40 a week.
Every dollar invested the first year
of the forty will have earned 1928,
while the one invested the last year
will have earned but sos The av-
erage earning would be 1891 per cent.
"As it is the first dollars saved that
earn big wages. one cannot afford to
break the account-new beginnings do
not pay.
The following table will be useful
to those who want to know what saw
ing 81 week and investing at per
cent VIII amount to a different periods

NEW YORK. June 1o.-There were
very few contracts for sale at the
opening of the cotton market. After

shorts and Liverpool buying, with July
selling at 1884, October at 1885 ano
December at 1913 or about Z to !
points net higher before the end or the

Part of the scattered covering was at
tributed to disappointment that the IA.

This is suggested as a strictly saw
ing proposition. to provide for a safe
income at the age of sixty"
An income of S48550 year at the
age of sixty. with a. cash capital of
5000 to back it up. ought to give al
most any one a sense of security. And
when this can be purchased at the cost
of 81 week. 1t seems to me well worth
while finding out about that 6 per cent
possibility.
Safety first" however. must be the
rule with the saver. Much better to
make the weekly saving s1.25 and be
content with 3 or 4 per cent invest
ment than to take any risks with the
per cent stuff.

Liquidation in Weak Quarters.

A temporary furry in call loans to the
highest quotation in year and a half
also hastened liquidation in weak quar-
ters. Coppers and metals in general
were little more than steady. despite
the declaration of many larger divi-
dends warranted by vastly increased
earnings.
Miscellaneous shares were mostly
higher. but their advance with few ex-
ceptions failed to enlist outside interest
or support.
Foreign developments contributed to
firmer tendencies, the success of the
Russian forces against Austria and
more detailed reports of last weeks
naval engagement in the North sea
being reflected in the rise of British
consols.

to the list by the strength of railway

brilliant statements of earnings. There
was also confident buying of represen-
tative industrials. including United
States Steel. whose May statement of

expected to establish a new high rec

Reactionary movements in the motors
