Earnings of steel and equipment COM

time since the war began. March earn
ings will establish new high records for
all companies. Instead of earnings be-
ing 81 100000 a day, as was the case with
United States Steel during the greater
part of last year, they are now close to
s., 100000 for each business day.
Bethlehem Steel is earning at the rate
of close to s6.o0o,oOo a month and as new
capacity Is provided earnings will ex-
pand The American Locomotive Com
pany, the Railway Steel Spring Company.
American Car and Foundry. and Bald
win Locomotive are working largely on
domestic business, and IL is interesting to
note that earnings are running ahead of
last year when war orders were so con-
spicuous. Republic Steel is understood to
be earning at the rate of more than so
a share for its common stock. II there is
no interruption to the present prosperity.

clared by the companies this year One

New York Analysis.
The following analysis of the New York
market situation was received yesterday
Sby w. B. Hibbs Co., from a New York
correspondent:
"A more cheerful tone prevailed in the
stock market today. Transactions were
not Of large volume, but there were i'm
pressive gains in a number of the special
ties, especially in Wilson & Co. and Ohio
Cities Gas. which advanced or more
points.
There also was a well sustained firm
ness throughout the railroad group with
prices l to points higher in the leading
issues. Railway equipment shares and
the coppers were quiet but steady. The
steel stocks recorded fair gains. the most
of which was retained at the close.
THE news of the day was of a con-
structive nature, including reports Of fur
ther advances in pig iron and steel pro-
ducts and confident predictions that an
increase in freight rates will be granted
the railroads.
Trading, however. continues OF q pro-
fessional character and no decided gen.
eral movement Is probable until after
Congress convenes and some action is
taken on the expected government bond
Issue and other international matters
now under consideration"

Laid To Rest In GraceIand
Cemetery, Chicago

Chicago, Oct. PA monument to
courage and physical prowess will be
dedicated here late today.
1t will be the grave of Bob Fitzsim-
MONS greatest of modern gladiators,
who faced death as he did the might
est of pponents-calmly and unafraid
All that is mortal of the champion
of champions will be inferred beneath
the sod of Graceland cemetery.
The last rites over the pugilists
body will be performed in the Moody
tabernacle. There will gather notablcs
of the ring and stage and just ordi-
nary admirers of Old Bob.
The eulogy viii be pronounced by
Rev. Paul RAIDER, an evangelist. The
profession in which Fitzsimmons reach
ed the pinnacle is not unknown to Ra-
der, as he has donned the gloves him
self, and this knowledge perhaps gives
him closer insight into Old Bob g
life.
The widow, although suffering from
nervous breakdown as a result Of her
long vigil at her husband IS bedside,
has announced her intention of accom-
panying the body to the grave. A big
gathering is. expected to witness tho
writing of finis to Fitzsimmons re-

GREAT GRAIN CROP
and MOVEMENT OF
TROOPS LACK CARS
Railroads Today Have 10000
J Fewer Cars Than Needed
In Their Business

Chicago, Oct 24.-The greatest grain
crop in the history to move and an
army of million and a half men to
feed, combined with the general in
crease in business, has brought about a
serious freight car shortage.
| The railroads face shortage today
of over 10000 cars and they are unable
Ito get more, D. l. Forsyth, vice chair
man ,of the Chicago railroad car SER
vice commission, told the United Press
today.
The government. is requiring for war
purposes the material required for
making locomotives and cars Also all
the. cars being manufactured now are
| being sent to France, which is in great
er need of cars than this country,
"The middle west could use 1000
more cars daily Forsyth said. "Chi-
cago alone could use 1000 more daily
and this is a conservative estimate.
Possibly the need is greater"
Through the manipulation of the
| "pooling' system, under the direction
of the railroads war board at Wash
ington, the railroads of the country
were enabled to move 25 per cent traf
fic, with an increase of only three per
cent in cars during the six months just
passed.
Under the direction of this board,
freight cars of sos railroads are pool
ed and used wherever needed, which
was prohibitive before the war.
"The only remedy for the short
age" says Forsyth, els for the ship
pers of the country to cooperate with
the railroads in moving along ship
ments as quickly as possible. Ordering
of full carload orders and the immedi-
ate releasing of cars is asked of ship

With the French Armies Afield, Oct.
24.-General Petain IS poilus fought in
the air, on the ground and literally and
actually far below the ground to
achieve their epochal victory ON Tues
day morning. The fight will go down
in history as the battle Of the caverns,
the conflict of cave men. The French
won their objectives-which means that
today they hold every inch of the ia
nous Aisne crest and have shut the Ger
mans off from their last look at the
promised land Of France beyond the
ridge.
On Six-Mile Front.
Tuesdays drive was along front Of
six miles on the Allemant-P Pantheon
front. The French seized the last por-
tion of the Aisne ridge, including the
west, little over two kilometers of
the historic "ladies way" (Chemin-des-
Danes with its junction on the Brus-
selles highway, which the Germans still
hold, together with all observatories,
notably the Malmaison. The French are
now masters of every spot on the entire
Aisne ridge-from Vauxhaillon to Cra-
onne--which heretofore formed the
backbone Of the German positions.
Not only that. but the French now
hold the outer line Of defenses to Laon1
The battle was fought on the summit
of this razor back ridge, beyond which
on a plateau half mile wide, there runs
the Ladies highway. The northern slope
Of the ridge slid abruptly into the val
ley of Athletic.
Works of Great Strength.
Every inch of these German positions
was honeycombed with cayerns, tunnels
and subterranean quarries. Mony were
two stories deep, electrically lighted and
ventilated. Every one IF them the Ger
mans had converted into veritabfe un-
derground fortresses. Where there was
single tunnel at Cornillet--at which
place the French first encountered this
German rabbit warren system of de-
fense, there were three caverns; some
of them proved almost insurmountable
defenses.
Tuesdays battle involved the capture
of score of these German caves, iun-

DOPE" PLOT BROKEN
BY MANY ARRESTS
By MILITARY POLICE
Camp Lewis To Be Freed
| From Operations Of Gigan-
{ tic Drug Syndicate

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash, Oct. "a.
With the arrest of twenty-three men
and women by the military police here
today, authorities believe they have
frustrated gigantic attempt to purvey
drugs to the soldiers at this camp. Those
under arrest include Harry A. Smith,
alleged by the officers to be head of
the "dope" syndicate; two women, who
were taken with Smith to Tacoma and
lodged in Jail, besides 20 men who are
held in custody here and who will be
courtmartialed.
Smith is said by the authorities to
have a police record in Seattle and to
have been arrested in Vancouver, B.
c., in 1915, for violating the drug act.
He forfeited his bail and was later ar
rested in San Francisco and Tacoma.
The military authorities have been
aware for some days that systematic
drug syndicate was in operation and
waited until the system had been per-
fected before making an arrest. Accord
ing to Major Croxali. sAe case against
Smith and his confederates is now com
plete. Smith is the leader, and, accord
ing to the military police, entered into
a contract with Private Bassett for the
delivery Of drugs to the value of $7,-
900. Basett was to act as Smith s agent
at Camp Lewis and to furnish the drugs
to large number Of surveyors and dis
tributors and the extent Of the oper-
ations seemed to be almost unlimited
The military police report that they
have all the correspondence and con-
siderable sum of money that changed
hands in the transactions.

filled with French troops.
Reserves FIJI Caves.
Monday night the caves on both sides
Of the ridge-German and French
were gorged with reserves, awaiting the
result of the battle on the plateau. The
entire ridge literally was alive, like
a gigantic ant hill. The massed forces
below waited on both sides for the de-
cision of a battle on the earth above,
tie manifestations of waish literally
trembled the whole ground.
The French artillery concentration
was of unheard-of intensity. Batteries
secretly installed weeks ago opened with
an appalling suddenness a veritabe vol
cano of Steel For eight days preceding
the actual attack itself, great guns had
pounded, minute by minute, day and
night, at the German positions.
Six Days Barrage Fire.
For six days the whirlwind of French
barrage of both artillery and machine
guns1' staked off, the attacking front
and isolated the Germans from muni-
tions, food, communications and rein
forcements. The enemy had to stick
tight to his underground fortress.
Then came a simultaneous rain Of pro-
jectiles of the great French 400, $50
and 320-millimeter smashing the
entrances to tunnels and caverns, cav
ing in those near the surface and ac-
tually shaking the ground like an earth
quake.
Watches Course Of Shells.
I personally witnessed these giant
guns lobbing shells weighing ton each
over the Aisne crest. The missiles were
visible to the naked eye from their de-
parture from the cannon Is mouth,
through their magnificent arc over the
crest and the beginning of their down
ward plunge to the German lines.
Countless French airplanes wireless
ly regulated every shot so accurately
that one battery fired five shots from
distance of six miles, all five of which
struck sucecssively in the same hole,
penetrating subterranean fortress.
Flower Of German Army:
Z Although the crown prince had the
fifth division of the Prussian guard
among the five divisions (75,000 men)
facing the French, he rushed up two
other guard divisions and likewise O
Bavarian division, anus concentrating
in the zone of attack the very flower
of the German army.
He entrusted the defense Of Fort Nal
maison to the second division Of the
Prussian guard.
In pursuance Of their past tactics, the
Germans massed reserves in the caverns,
when the French infantry
dashed over the plateau to rush these
out of their safe subterranean warrens
for q counter attack.
But when the French attack did come
