Buying now, to profit IN the near
bye and bye, Honolulu investors have
gone heavily into high-grade railroad
stocks during the past week ana
many local brokers have been keep
ing the cables warm between here
and the mainland swapping up bar
gains in rails for their clients.
And what is more, local brokers
appear to be unanimous in the opiE
ion that now is the time to buy
high-grade rails While no accurate
estimate can be furnished as to the
exact amount of money which local
investors have placed in railroad Sc
curities during the past week 1t Is
safe to say that more buying has
been done here in. the seven days
just ended than ever before. since the
war started
The reason for the heavy buying
here in high grade rails is because
present bargains are SO alluring and
the near future so much more rosy
for rails than for any other securi-
ties. The majority of local investors
look forward to turning over their
Guys at a handsome profit early in
the new year, when there is always
a rise in security values due to- diyi-
dend and interest payments and the
buying that results from the with
drawal of money from savings &C
counts. Money can be withdrawn
at that period without loss of inter
est and many small investors have
started a bullish movement by their
plunges into the market at such a
time in the past
Three Reasons for Slump
Three reasons are ascribed to the
present low level of railroad stocks
and two of these will in all probable
ity be removed early while the third
reason is expected to be alleyiated
for a time and fully remedied later
on. Hence rally in rails is al
most a foregone conclusion.
The first reason for the present
low level is the threatening indus
trial crisis. A demand for wage in
creases has been made by almost a
quarter of a million railroad en-
pIoyes, members of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the Order
of Railway Conductors. The new
demands carry yelled threat of a
tie-up of railroad systems through.
out the country. Should this occur,
il is but natural that railroad stocks
decline but financial experts agree
that while the present slumps in a
measure is due to this threat, 1t is
not likely that such threat will be
carried out for several reasons.
In the first place, the government
would take over the operation of
the roads before strike was actu-
ally called, authorities declare. Sec
ondly, there is every evidence that
an amicable settlement will be ar
rived at providing that the interstate
commerce commission sees fit to in
crease freight rates.
On this latter point, it Is generally
admitted that it is practical i'm
possibility for the railroads to raise
the wage scales at present without
the commission first permitting them
to increase freight rates. The roads
would simply have to go out of bus
mess il the wages were raised and
the rates remained the same, experts
state.
Therefore, the possibility of rail-
road strike which is now having its
effect on the market, will in all prob
ability be a bugaboo of the past,
within a short time thus removing
one OF the causes for the present
decline. And the removal Of this

IndustriaIs Lower
But Railroads Gain

New York, July 1.-THE New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Fresh selling of steel, equipment and
other war stocks was momentarily pro-
voked this morning by foreign cables.
Opening losses ranged from fraction
to a point or more, but securities were
well absorbed at their low levels and
after the first fifteen minutes Of un-
settlement the market steadied and in
many cases net gains were recorded.
The first hours business was almost
entirely in the industrial list, particu-
larly the war stocks, which held quiet
and firm following their initial de-
cline. Attention then turned to the
railroad department, and prices were
marked up very easily from one to
two points. Reading, Union Pacific,
st. Paul and New York Central were
all in improved demand. Reading,
above 81, was up some two points.
Southern Railway was another strong
feature.
Late trading was marked by some
further improvement in leading steel
stocks and in miscellaneous issues.
Low price railroads advanced Amer
lean Sugar rose about two pfnts. The
final tone was one of quiet firmness.
Copper shares were heavy and dull
and less attention was paid-to the
motor group.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Paris, July I4.--Not since the Bastile
fell, 1913 years ago, has Paris rejoiced
in such full measure over the progress
OF democracy as she did today in the
anniversary of that epochal event.
The city's millions crowded the
streets to cheer bronzed veterans Of
every branch of the French service as
they passed in review, fresh from the
trenches, or to gaze aloft at the great
est aerial parade of fighting machines
that has ever been held.
Nearly every building in Paris was
festooned with the tri-color. The route
of the parade was literally vista of
the French colors.
The days celebration began at s
o 'cloek at the Place Nation. There
President Poincare, Marshal Joffre and
all French ministers with a group OF
distinguished army Officers and Major
General John j. Pershing, representing
frances newest ally, stood in review.
Before them passed 5000 of France Is
heroes. Not one of this great body of
men was without a decoration on his
breast. Some were there whose medals
literally covered the upper left side of
their coats. They bore reverently and
amid frantic cheers 134 regimental
flags-the standards Of regiments
"cited" in the orders of the day for
gallantry.
Foremost in this gallant group of he.
roes were IL members of the Legion OF
Honor. Lieutenant Georges Guynemer
Frace's greatest airman, who has
brought down close to so enemy planes
was in this group, carrying his much
priced escadrille flag-the one cited in
a score of French army reports.
This was the first time that an as.
sembly of the Legion of Honor had
marched in formal parade since the
start of the war.
Behind the legionnairs came bat
talions of some Of the most famous Of
the French fighting regiments, whose
names will always be hallowed in
French memory. Some came direct from
the trenches.
The parade passed the reviewing
stand and through the principal down
town streets of the city, including the
Boulevard st. Germain, passing the
Luxembourg gardens. There hundreds
of wounded soldiers eheered their eom-
rades. In front of the great bronze
line at Belfoft Place, the procession dis
banded.
Throughout its line Of parade, 150
French aeroplanes darted above, flying
at an altitude of 1000 feet.
