WILL PROTECT AMERICAN
 LIVES WITHOUT WAR

United States, as proposed in his speech, but will do just what he promised in his address he would do, that is ask congress for it's consent to be allowed to use what soever methods and measures he deems necessary to protect the lives of American seamen and travellers who might enter the restricted zone as declared by Germany.
 It is thought that in this way if war is declared, it will force Ger many to make the declaration, and the American government may pro- tect it's seamen and citizens either by sending armored cruisers as con- sorts to American vessels, or arm ing American vessels with guns adequate to cope with a submarine.

WORKING ON PLAN
FOR REPLENISHING
OF OYSTER SUPPLY

Experts of the Bureau OF Fisheries
are experimenting to obtain oyster
spawn to be used in replenishing
the supply Of oysters. just as the bu-
reau. by artificial propagation, keeps
the shad from becoming extinct.
Indications are that the expert
ments will be successful and that the
oyster supply may be increased to an
extent at least to offset the inroads
OF the tongers into the natural sup
ply.
The probable success Of the work
leads a Baltimore Mathematician to q
dream Of sixty-six dectilllon oysters
crowding the waters Of the earth.
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries
will be more than laden. according to
his estimate. He figures IL this way:
The oyster is the most prolific liv-
ing thing in the world. It Is esti-
mated the Maryland oyster Of good
size lays about 16,0O0,0O eggs. II
half of these were developed into fe-
male oysters there would be produced
by q single female 5000 900 descend
ants in the FIRST generation, and in
the second 5000 900 times 5000, 900. or
"a 900, 600, 000, 600 In the nth gener-
alton nearly $4,000. 900 900 DOC. 900 ,0O0,-
900 600. 900. OOo, 900 female oysters and
as many males. or a total OF 66,000.00
10000, 900, 900 yO00, 900, 900 100000. II
each oyster fills eight inches OF cubic
space II follows that It would take
5000, 900, 900 O0O, 0O0. 000, 900 900 o00. Ooo.-
900 to make a mass as large as the
earth. II. therefore, the descendants
OF q single oyster in the fifth genera
ton were permitted to live and thrive
they would form a mass that would
cover the earth eight times"
He fails to take into account the
sad fact that only about one out OF
every million oysters spawned sur
wives to maturity. The others die In
incubation or afterward.

(By the Internatfonal news sefNicesI
New York, Feb. H.-Action OF the stock
market today reflected the indecision OF
everybody IN touch with 1t. From high
fnancier to messenger boy it was i'm
possible to get a definite statement of
opinion. No sooner would an opinion
be formulated than some new point Of
view would arise to change 1t. The
market surprised nearly everybody by
opening down an average of point
1t Immediately surprised them again by
advancing sharply Then when the pro-
were frightened and that the market
was in for a good up swing the buying
movement collapsed and prices fell to
the lowest of the day. There they
hung at the close without definite trend.
General opinion in the Street is that
there will be war with Germany in
the very near future.
1t is the opinion that this will ad-
vance the stock market. This belief
Is based on the facts that stocks seem
to advance easier than they decline and
that brokers' loans are comparatively
small.
Anaconda attracted much attention by
its strength. Announcement was made
that the company intended to pay on
S16, ,000. 900 of short term notes on March
l. That killed the interest, for 1t means
ditional money in dividends. This ac-
ton Of Anaconda is typical of the great
mining and industrial concerns, which
are wisely paying their debts and pro-
vid;ng against the reaction that Is sure
to come.
Kennecott Copper Company directors
declared only the regular dividend. but
they let 1t be known that the company
has on hand in cash and in metal actual
ly sold no less than SIS. .OoO, 900. Sears-Roe-
buck announced that on Monday sales
amounted to 81, 100000 the greatest vol
ume ever done in one day by a trading
company.
New Haven was consistently heavy
throughout the session
An additional reason for heaviness of
Marine stocks was found in the an
nouncement that the company had sub
scribed $50 100000 to the new victory"
loan in England.
