L. :, STEEL SURPRISES ALL ITS
PREVIOUS PROSPERITY"
RECORDS

New York, January 30-All previous
prosperity" records in the history of
the United States Steel Corporation
were surpassed today when the direc-
tors declared an extra dividend of TX
per cent on the common stock, to-
gether with the regular quarterly dis
bursement of IL per cent for the
fourth quarter of 1916, and issued
statement of earnings for the same
period exceeding by far all similar eX-
hibits of past years, as we'll as more
than fulfilling the most optimistic fore
casts.
This earnings for the quarter,
amounting to sos, 96S,S47, brought the
years total earnings to $33,625, O86,
which more than doubled those of 1907
which, showing earnings amounting to
$16O,964,674, stood as the record year
untll the close OF 1910.
The total earnings for the quarter
covered in today's statement compare
with the total of $S5,S17 OCT for the
third quarter of 1916, sum which
then constituted a record. Similarly,
new high figures were established in
net income, $96,321,6 lO for the final
quarter as compared with $76.2O2, 4OS
during the third period, and surplus
OF 96J,257,592 in the final quarter as
against S5l,S59,45O during the third
period.
The total 1916 earnings compare
with $14O,25O,O66 in 1915 and are
larger by more than $50 per cent than
those of 1904, the lowest year, when
they were $73,176,522.

BOAT
 SUNK; MAY NUT
 PROVOKE CRISIS

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-The
 steady accumulation of violations
 of American rights by Germany
 made 1t appear possible today that
 President Wilson would go before
 congress to ask authority for fur
 ther protecting lives and property
 without waiting for serious dis
 aster which might shock the coun-
 try. There were no indications,
 however, that he believed the time
 for such a step had come, and it
 again was stated authoritatvely
 that he would move deliberately
 and with full appreciation of all
 the consequences involved.
 Official reports Of the sinking of
 the American schooner, Lyman M
 Law in the Mediterranean by an
 Austrian submarine added only
 slightly to the tension, for while
 the act is believed to have been iI
 legal, no lives were lost and the
 vessel apparently was warned. The
 incident was not looked upon as
 one in itself sufficient to hurry the
 development of the situation.
 Preliminary reports began coming ,t government departments showing the piling up about the Atlantic seahoar0 of goods destined for export to Euro pean ports. No serious effect iron this condition will be felt. however, uu til lapse of sufficient time for snip remaining in American ports to have gone to Europe and returned. While not approximately ten per cent oi American commerce with Egrope E. carried on American ships, the sailing of vessels of other natiOnalilies a many instances have either been rat celied or postponed, and therefore th, result of. the ruthless suhmarluc cam paign in time will result in far-reach ing disturbance of the industrial lie ol the United States.
 Preparations by the government f3l any eventuality still are going for ward without interruption. Much im portance is attached to the worl: ci the Council of National Defense wlicI is holding daily sessions for the nu pose of learning at first hand from Americans of experience what pr0vs ion must be made to co-ordinart American resources. E. s. Stettinias of J. P. Morgan & Co.,, New York, wa again before the council today furnish ing information gained rom eXper- fence as, head of his firms huge tran saction in war orders from the entente allies.
 It was stated during the day that i was entirely possible the government would take no steps toward actual, furnishing arms to American ships un- less and until the president decides ht should go before congress.
 While the state department take: the position that the government ha. the right to furnish the guns, othe' questions which make the question more complex have arisen. The great est of these is the determination 0 the president to do nothing whicl might give Germany the excuse in an trouble which may follow to place tn responsibility/upon the United States.
