MERCANTILE MARINE
 COMPANY SHOWS HUGE PROFITS DURING 1916
CBy Review Leased wire.)

NEW YORK, July 24.-An extra ordinary growth in the profits or the International Mercantile Marine con- pany since the beginning of the war' as revealed today in the company's annual report for 1916, is attributed by Harold A. Sanderson, chairman of the board of directors, to the shortage of tonnage and the abnormal increase in freight rates. As result the earn ings of the company and its subsidiar- ies reached a point far exceeding tLSse of any previous period in its history.
 Gross earnings of the company and it's subsidiaries for 1916, according to the report, amounted to S6O,6O2'O1O af- ter providing for British excess profits duty.
 Profits for 1916, before providing for depreciation on steamships, aggresat- ed $25,946,65O, against S17,34l,O27 in 1915 and S3,SO7,O in 1914.
 At the end of 1913 the company's surplus was only S1.26S,s97 and at the close of 1916 the balance sheet show ed a surplus of -$24,6S6,172.
 Chairman Sanders5n pointed out that the British authorities increased the excess profits on January 1, 1917 ! from 50 to so per cent.
 This changed policy" says the chairman, will seriously affect the earnings of your foreign subsidiary companies by whom about S9 per cent of your tonnage is owned"
 In 1914. pursuant to the company's plan of readjustment. the bonded debt was reduced from $7O,224,0O0 to $S9, 497,O00.

STOCKHOLD, July 24.-The story of Victor Huso's character of Jean Vatican in Les Miserables," the es- capped convict who made of himself a respected and wealthy man has been dupuicated in real life in Sweden. The denouement, however, was different, for whereas the detective who discov- cred Valjean's identity did not arrest him, the Swede, less fortunate, was denounced and his denouncer is claim ing a reward of a thousand crowns of fered years ago for the mans appre- hension
 Gotthard Lindburg first came into conflict with the law 1S years ago. He was at the time a respected and fairly well-to-do owner of a farm near Udde, .valla, and a member of the proncial diet. He became involved in unIor Stunate timber speculations and, it is charged, forged some papers. Then he disappeared. This was in 1904 Four years later the police of the Is land of Aland arrested a Swedish American who called himself Gottharc Dahlbom on a charge of forging Il check. The Ginnish authorities say they discovered that Dahlbom was identical with the vanished Swede Gotthard Lindberg.
 Lindberg was sentenced to two years Imprisonment While awaiting transfer to the prison at HolsingforS he attempted to escape, and, it is al legged, gave the prison warden pois oned piece of candy. For this he waS sentenced to a further eight years imprisonment.

most disastrous experiment of the rev olution was the relaxation of discipline in the army and navy, coupled with the direct association of those services with the political and revolutionary propaganda. The resumption of the offensive caused the extremists con siderable annoyance and although they had the wisdom to remain quiet while victories were being gained, it was generally recognized that they were waiting for an opportunity for the move recently made with such disas- trous consequences.
 If Russia is to rise to the greatness of her possibilities, the forces of dis order must be resolutely dealt with, continued MT. Henderson. "The flu ture, judging from the recent past, is largely in the hands of the new work mems and soldiers council elected by the all-Russian congress, which repre- sents large section of the community whose representatives are likely to .become the dominant party in the con. stituent assembly.

be there can be no heroism In volun-
tarily rushing into poisonous gases of
liquid fire. War always has been mur-

vanced scientific methods, and the
wonder Is how any soldier In either
army can live at all.
Average Life Is Seven Days.
According to casualties OF the war
since it began in 1914, regardless OF
the lapse of inactivity, the average
life OF n soldier is just seven days.
Another year of the war as prac-
ticed in conquered territory and the
ieath rate of those people will be OF
a higher average than the loss of the
soldier.
Not considering the volume of sor-
row that spreads blanket-like over
Serbia, Rumania and Belgium, there
is not a home in all France that Is not
in mourning. and three-fourths OF the
homes in the British possessions have
felt the death call.
France is bled white In men and In

The brunt of this war from this on

(World's Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 20.-lt seems
to be that the most interesting news
breaking In Washington nowadays Is
that which is never printed.
The so-called censorship is more
apparent than real.
As matter of fact. very little Is
censored by censorship; practically all
of 1t being of a voluntary character
exercised by correspondents in their
own judgment. The last thing cor
respondent thinks of doing is to In
lure the government, or publish any
thing that might give comfort to the
enemy.
1t has been said of Germany and
her allies that IL the censorship oil
the central powers were lifted. the
war would end--that a publication OF
the true facts would cause such 9
revolt that the people would demand
immediate peace.
Not One ThOusandth Known.
The atrocities of the Germans has
never been told in thousandth part
We hear In n general way that Bel
gians are being deported. that wo.
manhood is being violated. that old
men are being executed as hostages
that children are hungry. and that
there Is a policy Of general fright
fulness carried on by the kaiser's sol
diers.
Details are lacking, and when they
are available, newspapers refuse tc
print them because they are SO har
rowing, they fear, II the facts wer,
known, they would handicap tnt
United States in securing soldiers
cause anxiety and grief among pa
rents and make this war moro un-
popular than It is at this time.
I was talking with Col. Roy Hoff-
man Of the Oklahoma national guard
today, telling him some OF the thing:
that were known in Washington. and
reclting to him some Of the stories
brought back to American bureau cor.

tries Of Rumania, Belgium, Serbia

the colonel. ''The people Of this coun-
try should know just what they are
up against"
Every indication points that the
policy Of the kaiser Is to finally OBJ
literate from the face OF the earth
entire races. Contrary to the war
policy Of any other nation, Germany
does not provide for the inhabitants
Of conquered territory. BY following
out this policy the people of Rumania
and Serbia and Montenegro are
literally starving to death. The men
are being fed but the women and
children are not. The men are being
fed for only one reason ana that is

mans. The same condition extends to
Belgium and to northern France. IL
the war continues a sufficient length
of time and the allies are unable to
get into these countries now held by
Germany. whole races will be an
initiated. According to correspon-
dents recently returned they are starv-
ing by the hundreds of thousands.
Prisoners are being worked to
death. Deported Belglans are dying
at the plow and with the hoe In their
hands. 1t is only a question of time
until there will be no prisoners and
Belgians alive. They cannot stand the
strain with the inadequate food fur
nished. Food that Is sent by the allies
Is confiscated.
There are in France alone more
than ono hundred thousand babies

Women. regardless OF class or caste

quering Germans. This same condi-
ton exists in all other conquered

ber then the board will issue an

to complete the quota. The rea-
son that the county quota is

that the city was given credit for
