Don't Wed Pacifsts.

New York.-The girl students Of
the Tewksbury School, in Scarsdale,
N. Y, were advised recently to refuse
to marry pacifists or men with paci-
fist tendencies, Further than that,
they were instructed to not even make
friends of such. This advice was given
by Mrs. Henry A. Wise Wood, nation
al secretary of the National Special
Aid Society, in an address. She said
that the existence of the war had
brought American women face to face
with set of problems entirely new to
the women of this generation.
'1n all recorded history" she said,
there have been cowardly men who
wished to be the protected ones and
not the protectors. These cowardly
men are against universal training
and service because these things COM
pei them to defend the country, as
well as the brave men who are willing
to do it.

''The coward is historical charac-
ter. Whenever there has been fight
ing to do he has tried to escape under
some plausible name or other. In
England he calls himself 'conscien-
tious obiector, and says he should
not be made to fight. In the United
States he calls himself a pacifst or a
humanitarian, and says he ought not
to fight. But coward by any other
name is a coward still. Beware of
him!
always throughout life remember
that the man who will not defend his
country will not defend his wife, his
child, his home. Do not marry such
a man,"

Buying Standard Oils.

Investment holders of the Standard
OIL shares exhibit no uneasiness over
the report of the Federal Trade Com
mission on the price of gasolene, in
which the Standard Oil Company, as
usual, gets the blame for the high
price prevailing for the product. In
vestors apparently look upon this re-
port of minor consequence, consider
ing present war conditions, particu-
larly in view OF the practical agree
ment between the Government and
the oil industry with regard to pre-
viding the country's requirements in
the period of the war, en agreement
which is especially significant, as for
years there has been no attempt at
unity OF action between the Standard
Oil Company and the Government.
Indeed. the company has been the
meat of the country's politicians in
their prolific attacks upon corpora
tions in general Good buying was
reported in the Standard Oil stocks
yesterday and a total absence Of In
vestment liquidation, the recent
active decline in the issues on the ex-
pectation of heavy war taxation
against the oil companies having
placed the various issues in a market
position to attract buying from In
vestment quarters.

Although gross operating revenue
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for
March was $9.692, ,766, representing an
increase over March. 1916, OF $423,056,
a decrease of s71s.737 is shown in the
net operating revenue as compared
with March, 1916. Total operating ex-
penses for March, 1917, are shown to
have been $s,223,959, as compared
with ST,OS2,167. Net operating reVe-
nue., March, 1917, was 81 .46S,SO7, as
compared with S2,1sT .544 in 1916. The
largest item of increase in the ex-
penses is transportation expenses,
which amount to S4.6s9.166 for March,
1917, as compared with $3,20S.166 in
March, 1916. This increase is due prin-
cipally to the adjustment of wages OF

Strength From Exports.

Since the outbreak OF the European
war to March 81 of the current year
exports Of merchandise from the United
States have aggregated in value ST.
1876 .935. 900 and imports $500. $1,000. or a
trade balance in our favor OF more than
s. 100000 To meet this enormous
debit balance foreign nations have sold
to us their government obligations to
an amount estimated at $2.600.0O0. 900.
and they have resold to us securities
issued in the United States. but owned
abroad. to an estimated market value
Of about S2.l0O.0OOOO0. In addition they
have sent us gold TO an amount which.
with our own production. has increased
our general stock OF the precious metal
in the country by more than Sl.l9S.0O0.-
OOO. OF which $sS3. .4Sl ,0lS was in circula-
ton on April l. on that date the coun-
try's gold holdings totalled $3.0SS. .9e4. sos.
of which s. .533. .256 S2l was in general cir
culation. exclusive OF $35l. 49, $50 held by
Federal reserve banks against Federal
reserve notes. These figures are par
ticularly interesting noY that We are in
the war and have entered upon a period
Of great Government loans. great Gov
ernment taxation. and great extension
Of further credits to our European
allies. And as they are supplemented
by the greatest national. State. and
trust company resources in the history
OF the nation they provide food for en-
couraGlng thought by those persons who
may be somewhat apprehensive over
the financing plans upon which the

s1Oo TO DROWN GERMAN
Boy Who Hates Teutons INDUCES
In Costly Vengeance.

ter, of Lexington, KY, where he was
born seven years ago, tried to avenge
the Lusitania at the Hotel Majestic

man soldier But Fritz Is as alive
as he ever was and Porter's dad will
be asked to dig up about 500 to pay
for damage by flood to an apartment
beneath his own.
Fritz entered the Porter family by
way OF the Christmas stocking Of
Harry's little sister. before the war.
He wore a brilliant uhlan uniform.
Despite the declaration Of war
against Germany by Congress. sister
stuck to Fritz, but Harry, who had
heard how Germans drown women

Confession Regarding Earnings.

Every corporation in the country
which is profiting from the manufac-
ture and production OF goods for
which war has created an unusual de-
mand might well follow the example
OF the Driggs-Seabury Company,
which is warning it's stockholders
against any false ideas regarding the
character OF current earnings. For
the quarter ended March 81 this con
cern was able to add to surplus ST.
249,065, and in commenting upon its
prosperity 1t says in its statement:
stockholders should realize that
these unusually large profits are due
TO abnormal conditions and must not
be regarded as an index to normal
earnings" Earnings for the three
months before deductlng the special
reserve account were $2.014,S16 on the
$s,536,0O0 common stock, equivalent
to S23.6O, or at the annual rate OF
S94.40 a share.

Furry I'm st. Paul.

A furry IN st. Paul stock just be-
fore the close yesterday afternoon
sent its price up to 81 in full point
jumps between trades. The buying
started at sOk, the next quotation
was 81, and the last, recording the
sale of 600 shares, was at 81. Such a
f1uctuation is an extremely unusual
one for this stosk and 1t buoyed
hopes in the breasts of all railroad Sc
curity holders on the theory that the
proposed advance in freight rates is
behind the stock buying and that this
advance will benefit them all alike.
The st. Paul railroad, 1t may be add
ed. is a great property, with the pop
ulation and industries along its line
fast growing up to its mileage.
