Industrx LIN the War.

After an exhaustive study OF pres
ent financial and commercial condi-
tions and OF these conditions in the
period OF the civil war. In which the
soundness OF the current situation is
shown-also the great forward strides
made In business In civil war days,
despite the poor financial conditions
at the outbreak OF war, with its at
tendant initiation and subsequent ad-
vance in stock market values-a Wall
Street house (Fred Edey & Col
reaches the conclusion: "It would
seem therefore that industry is des-
tined to continue and prosper during
the war. And IL the foregoing points
are well taken, stock prices bid fair
to hold their own, and in most in
stances, particularly among indus
trials, to seek even higher levels.
This because earnings, though sub
Ject to heavy taxes, are destined to
keep up and also because prices as
determined by earnings and dividend
yield are as a rule relatively law.
With bonds, particularly with descrip-
tions subject to the income tax, the
outcome may be different, for long
term funded issues will have the ten
dency to capitalize the larger taxes
and the smaller income yield through
an adjustment OF prices to a lower
level"

NEWS FOR INVESTORS
Steel Corporation Meeting Today.


Particular interest centers In the
United States Steel Corporations quar-
terly report today and announcement
OF the board OF directors as to the div
dend rate. E. H. Gary, chairman. II Is
reported, estimates the earnings Tor
the quarter at between S11O.OOO,OOO
and $115,000,000, while some interests
in the Street believe that the exhibit
will present an even larger amount. IL
is understood that the Steel Corpora
ton will be a large investor In GOV
ernment bonds, and It Is this possinil-
ity which renders the dividend rate
an especial uncertainty. The problem
OF war taxation too looms in the back
ground as a factor against any change
in the dividend rate. Betting was
brisk in Wall Street yesterday on the
dividend possibilities. Many bets
were made on the curb and in the put
and call crowd in New street. One
bet of $500 even money was laid that
the dividend rate to be announced
would be at least 8 per cent, or IA
per cent regular and 3% per cent ex-
ira. Odds OF 8 to were offered by
one broker that the dividend would
be the same as the last one, 1k per
cent regular and 1& per cent extra.
One firm offered 500 to 81 900 that no
action would be taken on an extra
dividend because of the doubt which
prevails as to Government taxation.

Postal Savings Deposits.

There Is no general idea in inan-
cial circles that deposits will be with
drawn to any great extent from pos
tai savings banks for investment in
war bonds, despite the higher inter-
est that may be obtained from the
latter. Much OF the money in the
postal savings accounts represents
deposits by foreign-born citizens and
aliens who know little Of other av-
enues OF investments and who believe
the postal system for savings safer
than State savings banks, while they
probably will not study the safety OF
a Government bond, knowing that
their money already Is safe In Gov
ernment depositaries as shown in
their little bank books with the seal
Of Uncle Sam upon them. The in
crease In postal savings deposits for
March, 1917, was $4,000, 900, or over
twice that for March, 1916. In the
last nine months deposits increased
about $4,000, 900. or almost twice the
gain made for the entire fiscal year
ended June 80. 1916. Total deposits
in the United States on April 1 were
1925, ,500.O 900. standing to the credit of
over 100000 depositors, New York
city made the largest gain in the his
tory of postal saving during the
month.

THEY BURIED THEIR PAL
Friends Of Dave Montgomery Cry
Unashamed During Services.

Dave Montgomery yesterday.
A brief and formal service was held
over his body in an undertaken
chapel that could not begin to hold
all the people who thronged to IT.
and later the man who was the Tin
woodman was laid to rest at Wood
lawn.
The stages most famous comedi-
ans. who were his pals, cried q little
and were unashamed.
Fred Stone, his partner and friend
for twenty-five years, broke down
completely. and there were tears in
the eyes OF George Cohan and Will

Elsie Janis. Harry Kelly, VIII Rogers
Rex Beach. Louis Mann. Fred Nlblo,
and his comrades in "Chin Chin
these were among the others who
paid the dead comedian their last re-
spects.
And there was also Anna Laughlin.
Miss Laughlin may not be widely
remembered by present-day theater-
goers, but Dave Montgomery would
have remembered her. For she was
Dorothy Gale more than a dozen
years ago in the piece in which Dave
Montgomery and Fred Stone first
came into prominence-the little girl
who was blown by a cyclone into the
strange land OF the Wizard and the
Tin Woodman.
Friends from the other world In
which Dave Montgomery moved-that
OF the racetrack-were also present
And on the street outside there wait
ed another hve hundred. ranging
from the idly curious to friends who
could not squeeze their way into the
inadequate chapel.
Delegations from the Players and
the Lambs were in attendance, and
1t was Scott Welsh, a fellow-Lamb
who sang Lead. Kindly Light" Tht
service was conducted by the Rev
Daniel c. Russell, OF Rutgers Pres

OFFICERS GOING TO FRoNT7
American Regiment Commanders
May Go Into Trenches.

American army officers will prob
ably have a touch Of real war condt-
tions before they take their men
abroad.
Plans for sending a number Of them
direct into the trenches are Under
way. The purpose would be to estab-
lish q closer relation between British
and American officers and at the
same time to give the Americans an
opportunity to know at first hand just
how this great war IL waged. The
plan Is under discussion between
American and British military Off
GERS OF the high.commission-
Officers up to the rank Of regimen
tai commanders probably will have
the benefit Of this experience II the
present discussion succeeds.
The idea appeals very strongly to

the experience would be invaluabls
