New York, April 19.-Concerted SELL
ing of special stocks, notably ship
pings. motors, tobaccos and some OF the
low grade rails, due to more or less
specific causes, accounted in large
measure for the conflicting and cratic
course of today's dull market
New Ravens extreme decline of 3-S
points to SO IA was associated with
the company's plan to issue a large
block of preferred stock to meet cur
rent obligations. The break in auto
mobile issues, which extended to

it's basis in technical conditions, and
the further liquidation of shippings at
extreme recessions of to 4 ga points

troll.
A gross decline of 81 points in Lig-

the highest paid soldiers in the world.
The special allowance is for men who

Prior to the new grant the weekly
rate Of pay for q married private in
the New Zealand expeditionary force
ranged from $10.50 for man with a
wife only to support to SIT for a man
with a wife and five children. Some

Manifesto Pledges Russia
Vigorous Pursuit of War
And Liberties of PEOPLE

Petrograd, March 21-OutlininR the
political reasons back Of the revolu-
tfon. and asking the whole people
for support. the Russian provisional
government has issued the following
manifesto to the nation, in which It
pledges itself to do It's utmost to
provide the army with everything
necessary to bring the war to q VIC
torious conclusion"
Citizens-The great work has been
accomplished. BY powerful stroke,
the Russian people have overthrown
the old regime. A new Russia is born.
This coup d'etat has set the keystone
upon long years of struggle.
Under pressure of awakened ma
tional forces. the act Of October 80,
1905, promised Russia constitutional
liberties which were never put into
piece Of national wishes, was dis
solved. The SECOND duma met the
same fate. and the government. be-
ing powerless to crush the national
will. decided by act Of June 16. 1907,
to deprive the people Of part Of the
legislative rights promised them.
During the ensuing 10 years, tho
government successfully withdrew
from the people all the rights they
thrown into the abyss Of absolute ruin
and administrative arbitrariness. All
attempts to make the voice of reason
heard were vain and the great world
struggle into which the country was
plunged, found 1t face to face with
moral decadence and power, indiffer-
ent to the country's industries and
stepped in vices and infamy.
Power Assumed by People.
When Russia, by illegal and disas-
trous acts Of her governors. was faced
with the greatest disasters. the people
had to take the power into their own
hands.
The government believes that the
lofty spirit Of patriotism that the peo-
pie have shown In the struggle against
the old regime also will animate our
gallant soldiers on the b84tlehelds.
On its side the government Will do
its utmost to provide the army with
Everything necessary to bring the war
to d victorious conclusion. The gov
ernrnent will faithfully observe ali al
