LEGION now RACKED
BY GAS TORPEDOES
American Writes Of New Form
Of Trench Life Most Try
ing to Nerves.

PARIS, March 21.-An American
who has been with the Foreign Le-
gion from the beginning OF the war
but left IL to qualify as an aviation
pilot returned to 1t for q few weeks
on hearing that II was likely to take
part in an attack soon. He had
missed the Champagne offensive in
September, 1915, being in the hospital
with jaundice, and was at an aviation
school when the legion attacked last
July. The attack in which he hoped
to take part was postponed, so that
he may rejoin the Aviation Corps
without his wish to be in a charge be-
ing gratffied. He writes without ex-
planning at what part of the front
he Is:
This Is a new kind OF warfare here.
entirely different from In the Somms.

pedoes, not the kind the Boches have
been threatening the world with.
Geei How they make the earth trem-

masks here than OF our rifles.

About eight men to q tunnel, each
end of watch opens into a trench. A
couple OF sentineIs are always outside
in the trenches. In case OF gas they
give the men below in the tunnels
warning to get out. Finei Stay be-
low and you are gassed; come out and
you are hit! Oh, it's an excellent

BOY, NINE, HISTORY PRODIGY
Third Grade Pupil Knows More
Than HIah School Student.

FOND DU LAC. Wis. March IL
Although he is only nine years old
and pupil in the third grade Of JEFF
ferson school, John LonergAn. son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. X. Lonergan, knows
more American and European history
than a high school student, and il
being hailed as a prodigy by public
school teachers.
When 1t comes to American history
the boy tells all the important events
with ease and explains their causes
and results. He says he has gained
his knowledge from reading newspa-
pers and magazines.
The boy has appeared before sew
eral teachers meetings and has been
questioned on practically all imagin-
able subjects and usually has been
able to answer correctly every Ques-
ton put to him.

Public Buying stocks.

Commission houses were active fac
tors in yesterdays stock market. and
at times the speculation for public
account bore the earmarks OF the
sort Of movements which ended in
the collapse in prices last December.
There is reason for the belief that
substantial interests are in favor of
higher prices. Indeed. one OF the
biggest bankers In the street says
that he looks for a better market for
stocks, although for the immediate
future he does not count upon great
expansion in the dealings in bonds.
Because the big men are favorably
disposed toward the market, the pub
lie operator. however. has no license
for the idea that prices are to move
up without interruption or that large
margins are not necessary.

The Peace Outlook.

A combination of incidents has
given some traders in Wall Street
the definite idea that peace may be
but a short distance away. One OF
these Incidents was the Russian reVo-
luton. Another Is the lack OF food
in Germany. Still another Is the
repeated sinking of American steam
ships by German submarines. re-
Earded by many as the last straw to
involve this country. Wall Street Is
reading between the lines and Is
dovetaiIing incidents and happenings
10 shape is own conclusions. At the
same time there is still wide diff
ference OF opinion as to what peace.
when il comes, will do to the stock
market.

Nickel Company Prosperous.

Earnings of the international
Nickel Company for the year ending
with this month will be the largest
in the company's history, and this,
coupled with the belief that the direc-
tors will soon readjust nickel prices,
was among the contributing causes
for the sharp advance yesterday.
Sales Of cash nickel are being made
at the highest prices since the out
break of the war. and further read
justments are undoubtedly under con-
sideration.

SPENDS HONEYMOON
ASKITCHEN HELPER
Walter WeIton, Son Of Hotel
Man, Works Twelve Hours
a Day at Task.

NEW YORK. March 2l.-Scraping
dishes and polishing silverware in the
kitchen of a big hotel probably would
not appeal to the average man as an
ideal way of spending a honeymoon,
but it is the choice of Walter Welton,
twenty-thfee. son Of F. J. Weiton,
who owns the fashionable Mohican
Inn at Mohican Lake. N. Y. He began
his unique wedding task yesterday
and intends to keep 1t up for four
weeks at least.
Young Mr.. weIton. his friends say,
has for a long time had two ambitions.
The foremost ambition was to marry
Miss Trilby Grenet. The second was
to take a practical course in running
a hotel as IL is done in New York in
order that when he takes over his
fathers big summer resort up State,
as he expects to do later on, he will
have all the details of the business
at his finger tips from actual exper-
fence
Everything Settled.
The first Of the two ambitions was
arranged some time ago, but for var
ious reasons the proposed date for
the marriage was rather indefinite
Last week. however, everything was
settled.
Let's get married right away"
suggested the young hotel man. And
they did. The Louis XVI suite at the
Hotel Majestic was engaged Sunday
evening and the wedding was solemn
lied there with only a few relatives
present.
At this juncture Mr.. welton had q
bright idea. Neither he nor his bride
wanted to leave New York right away.
Why not stay in the city and incl
dentally carry out his other ambition
of inspecting the hotel game as 1t IL
played here?
Salary of IS = Week.
Mr.. welton went to George c.
Brown, manager of the Park Avenue
Hotel, with a letter from a mutual
friend and stated his. desires. He was
hired on the spot The salary. 1t was
rumored, is IS a week, but as Mr.. Wei
ton has independent means this does
not matter.
He goes to work at o'clock every
morning and spends the day rubbing
dishes and other things, including
shoulders, with Greek pantry boys
and French cooks In the hotel kitch-
en-.
At 8 o'clock in the evening he rings
out on the time clock and goes home.
An attempt to interview him last
evening failed because at three sec
onds after 8 o'clock II was discovered
Mr.. weIton had gone two and half
seconds earlier.
At the home of Mrs. Grenet, where
the couple are living temporarily, IT
was stated that they had gone out
to another hotel-for dinner.

Westinghouse Earning 1855 Fer
Cent.

Net profits of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company
in February amounted to $2,423,sO5.
This Is considerably better than had
been expected and brings the total
net profits for the eleven months
ended February % to S16,0T9,03S.
This Is equivalent to 26.66 per cent
on the $50 ,OOO, 900 stock. indications
are that March profits will keep pace
with those Of February so that net
pronts for the fiscal year to end this
month will be above $lS,OOO,OOO, or
more than SI5 n share.

Fat Days and Lean Ones.

Stockholders OF Z. w. Bliss & Co.
may be able to look back to the lean
days Of 1911 to 1914 and better appre-
ciate the fat days OF 1915, 1915. and
1917. From 1911 to 1914 no dividends
were paid on the common. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that the earnings
for 1915 available for common stock
distribution were $1O.465 800, equiva-
lent to 1851 per cent on the stock.
compared with 21T.2s per cent earned
in 1915. This Is a pretty good show
ing for a stock which paid s per cent
in the first ten years of its life. and
finally grew into a full-sized 10 per
cent stock from 1899 to 1911.
