The Continental Trust Company will

in it's new quarters on the first floor
OF the Real Estate Trust Company
building. Workmen have been busy
for the past month remodeling the
first floor offices to suit the needs OF
the trust company. The new quarters
are spacious. well lighted, and have
many Improvements over the present
quarters. There is a special reception

business tomorrow. and IL is expected
that everything will be moved and in

Bethlehem Steel Company is said to
be contemplating a large bond issue.
of per haps $5O,OOO.OOO. 1t is believes
that the new issue. IL it materializes,
will be for financing new construc-
ton work. Present funded debt of
the company is $50, 100. 900. and incIud.
ing bonds of all its subsidiaries, the
total debt is SS1 1859 900.
1t is understood that the annual
statement of the Baldwin Locomotive
Company will show about 81 900. 900
surplus after preferred dividends.
This would be equivalent to about
= per cent on the common stock.
This would indicate that the com
pany's war contracts have not been
as profitable as had been expected.

FRENCH ARMY HERO

Marshal Joffre, Famous Soldier, Here

Washington. - Especial Correspond
ence. NO visitor to the United States
In generations has touched the heart
strings of the American people to such
deep affection and sympathy as has
Marshal Joffre of France.
AS the savior OF France"-the hero
of the Marne In that hour of d'res
need when the German army was men
acing Paris-Joffre justly inspires til
richest homage OF the Americans, anu
that homage will be paid him in in
creasing measure as his stay lengthens
Marshal Joffre has come to America
with some very practical common sense
ideas about what must be done by the
new alliance Of France. Great Britain
and the United States II this wal
against Germany Is to be won. lie
has no intention Of enacting merely
the spectacular role of much feted
hero. Business first is his motto. and
he began hustling on the job at once.
When the Fundamental principles of
cooperation between the United States
and France have been settled he is
willing to turn details over to associ
ates and go the rounds of American
cities to receive the honors that await
him. But for the next week at least
he intends staying here in the capital
arranging hard headed plans for the
main issue, which is war-vigorous. re
lentless wa,-against the common en-
envy.
France is not here with hat In hand
soliciting aid. She is ready to contrib
ute something on her own part to help
make America more potent.
To Teach Us Things She Has Learned.
France has learned three great and
valuable lessons In the war-lessons in
which she stands supreme and unri-
vailed. These successes are is follows:
Aviation. artillery and trench war
fare
OF these arts France Is willing to
give the United States the benefit Of
everything she possesses. If desired
she will send her best experts to this
country to teach US how to make and
to manage flying machines.
She will send us plans of her won
derful guns, so that our artillery may
be brought up to highest standards.
She will give us trained officers to
teach all the tricks and science OF mod
ern warfare, learned in many costly
battles.
Co operation I'm the war, according to
the marshal's ideas, means more than
contribution Of dollars and munitions.
1t means harmonious action In every
phase of the great contest.
France Is not seeking to involve the
United States in any tangling foreign
alliance. Her attitude In this respect
Is the same as that enunciated by Mr..
Balfour for the British, which places
mutual confidence and respect above
a mere documentary treaty.
But the French mission. following
the lines OF continental diplomacy, IL
