with other matters. he would ans.
wer inquiries with exceeding brevi-

At these times when he was de-
coyed into expression. there was an
echo in his voice still that neither

stroy; an echo Of the silvery tones
which so often thrilled the galleries

AT this time his voice though weak
had lost none of its sweetness
When he felt we'll he was always
singing: singing when arranging MI

HIGH INDUSTRY
IN DEUTSCHLAND
War Stimulates the Output
of By-Products-Trade
Cooperation.
By ERNST KAHN.

(By Cable Via Copenhagen to The Tribune)
Berlin, September %.
A complete change in the exploita-
ton of Germany's coal fields is inn
minent. Already nearly 40 per cent
of the soft coal mined in the empire
is being converted into coke, COM
pared with 20 per cent before the
war. The increase has been due al
most entirely to the expanding de-
laand for the by-products of coke
production, namely benzol, ammonia,
naphthalene and tar.
In this connection the fact that
similar operations are being carrie
on in the heretofore neglected browl
coal fields is of great interest. Some
big chemical and metallurgical con-
Germs have purchased large holdings
il these fields, evidently with the
purpose of exploiting hitherto UNI
known by-products on a large scale.
Some of the German experts hold the
opinion that bituminous brown coal
will not be used in the future for
heating purposes, but will be divert
ed to the coke and coke by-product
Industry. In 1913 the output of
brown coal was 100000 tons.
Germany's iron and steel industry
continues to operate at top speed.
Pig iron production from January to
August inclusive Appropriated a
tonnage of 100000 tons, compared
with 100000 tons the year before.
Every unit of the industry is strain
ing to its utmost to meet the needs
Of the army. Wages in the mines are
substantially higher, the daily aver
age per miner now being 6.28 marks,
c impaired with 5.22 marks in 1914.
Numerous industrial amalgama-
tons and combinations are taking
place. Cooperation between the lead
ing Westphalian industrial concerns,
Tic Hamburg and Bremen shipping
interests, the mining industry and
important banks is expected to as
sist in the solution of coming prob
lens, especially after the war.
The government has released for
purposes of lighting the petroleum
seized after Rumania's entrance into
the war. The fruit crop has been
confscated to increase the produc-
ton of marmalade.
The new war loan is going well.
Subscriptions to the Offering have
been entirely satisfactory through
out the empire.

DROP In RAILWAY
PROFITS FEARED
Will Come When War
Ends, British Investors
Believe.
By FRANCIS W. HlRST.
lnr cah,e % n. Tribune

London, Sept. 22.-The railway
settlement which prevented a strike
and the doubling of the war bonus
have relieved the public mind with
out assisting the rising prices and
the fallen purchasing power OF
money since the last arrangement.
Investors fear the increased wage
bill and diminished railroad traffic
after peace is declared will cut into
railroad dividends.
When prices fall and the shortage
in labor gives place to redundance it
will be much easier for small en-
ployers than large corporations to
reduce wages proportionately. An
ideal plan would be the index number
and tabular standard currency.
Exchange movements mostly favor
London. Yesterdays bank return
showed no important change. Float
ing money remains rather scarce,
but the new French Treasury bills,
yielding nearly 6l2 per cent, are In
demand. The Treasury is still busy
modifying securities for exchange
purposes.
Merchants and shippers are well
pleased with the easier tendency Of
homeward freights except from the
Mediterranean. The war apparently
has produced its maximum effect
here and the stimulus given to neu-
tral shipbuilders by eXorbitant ship
owner profits has increased the sup
ply despite increased risks and
losses. A fall in freight might check
rather than arrest fresh rise in
prices, for only fraction of the in
creased wheat and meat prices is due
to freigEts.
a shortage in labor in mutton-pro-
ducing Australia, Canada and other
new countries has reduced the over
seas meat supply with remarkable
results here. Thus young pigs worth
u shillings before the war now are
worth 80, suggesting that the farm
ers are anticipating much dearcr
bacon next year. Fish fetch record
prices at Bilingsgate. Plums are
cheap. thanks to large crops abroad
and at home and lack Of sugar to
preserve the fruit. Under the pro-
lection Of government monopoly
sugar has risen more than any other
important food commodity and the
distribution appears to be exceed
ingly bad. Laissez fare philosophy
should come into its own after the
war.
