Market Was Dull But
Outlook Brighter

New York, July 30.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Wall Street was reasonably well
pleased with the behavior of today IS
stock market, although in truth the lat
ter did very little. Prices reflected
gradually improving sentiment. The
general industrial list advanced irreg-
ularly in the early stages of the ses-
sion, but those gains were soon wiped
out and net changes were negligible.
Trading was dull and in the main pro
fessional The railroad department
was all but neglected.
There being nothing on sAich to
base further short selling, the shorts
began covering actively in the last
hour. United States Steel crossed l24
and Crneible Steel sold above So. with
similar gains elsewhere in the steel
list. The marine issues and the cop
pers felt the same impulses. Bonds
were quiet and heavy.

Drifts to Sea

Point Arena, Cal, July 30.-Twenty-
eight persons who were aboard the
steam schooner Del Norte when she
went on Wash Rock during the night,
were brought safely ashore early to-
day. The vessel itself, after threaten
ing to break up on the rock, was
washed Off and drifted out to sea.
She will be total loss.
Captain G, G, Hoffman and the TWEEN
ty members of the crew and seven pas
sengers put out in the lifeboats as soon
as the vessel struck, and reached shore
without mishap. The passengers were
placed on board the steamer John
PuIsen and the crew remained here.
The Del Norte is 15s feet long, 80
feet beam. She was built in 1910 at
Tiburon. When she struck she carried
a considerable quantity of chrome iron.
For many years the Del Notre piled
between San Francisco and Crescent

Washington, July 30.-The close of
the third year of the war found Ger
many sounding the world on peace
again today. The over-Sunday declara-
tions of the German and Austrian
premiers, however, found no response
in official order OF allied diplomatic
quarters here.

tion, - was the comment.
The whole Teutonic policy is based
en- a determination to justify the
kaiser's apparent decision to stake all
on shot and ghell.
The allied answer to this is found in
declarations by Lloyds-George, Secre-
tary Lansing and the leaders of France
during the last week, that the war must
go on until the German peoples are
freed from irresponsible rulers.
While government heads said today
there could be no possible peace basis
under Germany's and Austria's latest
the senate showed some
symptoms Of asking for or making
general statement of war aims and
peace terms.
The American Union Against Mill
tarism, peace organization led by
Amos Pinchot and others, is conducting
propaganda with such statement in
view Senator Borah has declared there
ought to be clear statement of how
far the unionists expect to go with
ts program Of making the world safe

In the circumstances authorities
hought it entirely possible that such
statement viii be forthcoming.

lid their best to discourage any kind

ask ahead, but they share Secretary
