FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Losses in SteeIs Ranged From Two
 to Five Points.

New York, Jan. 5.-Reactions of 2 to points in favorite stocks and to ' points in special issues during today's brief but very active session wiped out much, if not all of the mid- weeks gain and left the general list little above final quotations of last year.
 The selling, which concentrated in steels and other industrials and equip ments, as well as prominent rails and the group of war shares, resulted in large part from peace rumors.
 These gained force from Turkeys reported overtures to Russia and the highly significant speech of the Brit ish premier, of which Wall street had only an inkling before the markets close.
 Losses in steels ranged from 2 to $ points, in coppers 1-2 to 1-2, equip- ments to 8, with for Pullman in shippings an average of points ,as much for motors and accessories and 2 to 5 in oils and tobaccos.
 Pacifics. grangers, coalers and east ern rails figured more or less equally in the heaviness of transportations. Leaders made little recovery, the mar ket closing near lowest levels. Steels amounted to 540,O00 shares. Aside from an actual decrease of about s51 10000 in reserves, the week ly bank statement disclosed no marked changes in local monetary conditions.
 Bonds were under pressure, espec- | tally minor rails. Liberty As changed | hands at 96.92 to 86.80 and the 3 1-2s at 9S.S0 to 9S.7S. Total bond sales (par value) aggregated s2,176,O00. U. s. bonds Gold issues) were un- changed on call during the week.

LLOYD GEORGES SPEECH TO
 TRADES UNIONS DELEGATES
ls Commended by Press and People of
 Great Britain.

London, Jan. 6. - Premier Lloyd Georges speech to the delegates of the trades unions Saturday is characteriz- d by the weekly newspapers as mark Ing a historical epoch in the war. The Weekly Despatch asserts that it is couc -geous call for unity in the nation in the face of the trials and dangers that lie ahead and is the best answer to the clamant, if uninportant, minori- ty who have been endeavoring to drive a wedge between the government and the Labor party on the false plea that there are unbrirgeable integral diffi- cuties in the respective conceptions of the war aims for which we are fight lng.-
 The News of The World declares the speech outlined the British war aims with a degree of precision which leaves no loophole for misunderstand- Ing" and adds:
 These are the aims for which we entered the war. For them we have bled unfiinchingiy more than three years and for them, as the premier well said. we are prepared to fave even heavier sacrifices than any we yet have endured"
 The Sunday Times says the most rALFAalAl-l IfLcES OI Nne speech ana the most discomforting for the Prus- sian war lords are those which re- veal 1t as ''no. an utterance of either mere statesmen or a political party, but as the considered utterances of the British people"
 The National News says: 'If there was ever any doubt about the things for which the manhood of our empire had been gioriously making a great sacrifice such can no longer exist,;' and acds that the importance of the speech was greatly increased by the reason that 1t was delivered to the represen- tatives of labor. The newspaper con- cludes:
 That the pemier should have se- lected this democratic channel for his historic pronouncement Is surely sig nihcant of his belief that the organized movement of democracy is the power which shall rule the world in the com ing golden time.-
 The People asserts Lloyd George has done inestimabie service to the nation and the entente allies in stating frank. ly and without reservation Great Britain's war aims, and adds:
 ri win no longer be possible for oul present enemies to profess honest doubt as to what we are fighting for or to delude any intelligent German with the fable that our aim is the de- struction or the disruption of the Ger. man state or its people"

WORLDS SERIES MONEY
 TO BE DIVIDED DIFFERENTLY,
No More Large Gains for Winning PIayers-Each to Receiver $2,o00.

New York, Jan. 6.-When the players who actually participate in the world series of 1918 come to divide their share of the gate receipts of that base ball classic they will realize that, financially at least, the series is not what it once was.
 In recent years the pennant winning club in each league has been repre- sented by approximately A players. These players have shared among them the 50 per cent. and 40 per cent. of the players pool which has been di- vided on that basis to the winners and losers. AS a result a sum which in the past five years has averaged $143,- 555 per annum has been divided among some AS players.
 In the future close to 200 players will receive a portion of the players pool. Under this system the days of large individual gains by the members of the world series championship team are thing of the past.
 According to the agreement just made by the two major leagues, the players of the two competing teams will receive 60 per cent. of the gate receipts of the first four games as in the past. Instead of sharing this sum On 60 and 40 basis, each player on
 
 sum of $2000, and the members of the losing club $1,400 each.
 After the total of these individual prize moneys has been deducted from the players share, the remainder will be divided among the players compos- ing the clubs finishing second, third and fourth in both the National and American league pennant races. The basis of this division has not as yet been announced. but it is venerally expected to be 50 per cent. to the sec ond clubs, 30 to the third and 20 to the fourth teams in each league.
 With these figures to work on as a foundation for figuring, it is possible to gauge with reasonable accuracy what the proceeds will be in the fu- ture as compared with the larse amounts which annually fell to the share of the players who figured in the climax of the baseball season. Els inmates based upon the world series figures of the past five years show that the average amount which went i to the winning and losing players was $143,55 The records also show. that l the average number of players on the two pennant winning clubs was about

 One evening after supper we were sitting smoking and ,discnssine varie ous subjects when sthe conversation or1ftea around to home The French csaptam told us/ that he had lived in tdile, where his regiment, the Forty, third Infantry. had been stationed He had no family. but lived alone in a small house. His two chief sources of amusement were his horse and his li- pary. He railed bitterly at the Huns Who were probably occupying his house ana destroying his books We led him on 10 tell us his experiences since the war broke out,
 He told fGs that when war was de- ciared |he was on leave, and motoring with some friends in northern France, lie was at once recalled to join his regiment, and had just time to draw ms money from the bank and pack his kit before departing for Belgium.
 <The French army was fighting a rear-suard action, and near.

 Stayed With Last Section. 
 When orders came for his company to retire the captain stayed with the last section to prevent disorderly retreat. Most of the men of that sec tion were killed and our friend fell shot through the jaw, the lungs and l the body. The enemy passed over the | trench and German officer. seeing the ! Frenchman lying helpless, whipped out his revolver and shot him in the thigh.
 A German medical officer who passed 1 hv a little later told him he would be dead in the morning and that there i was no use doing anything for him, 1 and. giving him half bottle of stolen 1 champagne, left him to die. | For three days nobody came near the place until finally Belgian peas- ant, probably searching for valuables on the dead. put him in rough two- wheeled wagon and took him back to the farm. There he lay for three weeks, with no medical attention, till eventually the Germans found him and removed him to hospital in Belgium.
 When examined by the doctors he said that the wound in his thigh was caused by a shot from a German off, cer's revolver as he lay in trench. This statement was secuted as a lie, for they said that no German officer

STATE PIER BEATS Y. M. C. 4. "A 10 2
Sailors Take Second Game of Series in Exciting Contest Score Tied Several Times in Second Half-Daley of Y M C. A. and Callahan of State Pier Stars

Saturday night in the r. M. c. A. gym, the basketball team from the state pier at New London trimmed the Y. M. c. A five in a close and excit- ing game by the score of 24 to g. The teams were about evenly matched al- though the navy team seemed to have the better team work in the passing game. Daley of the Y. M. c. A. took some desperate chances on his long shots from the middle of the floor and although he scored once or twice fail ed the majority of his tries. Daley of the Y. M. c. A. and Callahan of the State Pier were the best men on the floor, according to the evidence of the score book, each scoring 10 points. Patten of the State Pier played a fine game, seeming to cover the whole floor. Grebe and Daley brought the crowd to it's feet several times with sensational shots from the center of the floor.
 Paymaster F. J. Harrington of the Navy acted as referee in a capable manner. He had $he service decisive ness of action and delivered his judg- ments in a clear-cut manner. The Y. M. c. A. lost one point when the crowd on the side lines failed to keep quiet after being warned by the ref cree. Neither side did much in the line of shooting fouls. although CaIla- han managed to score two.

 After a few minutes of desu1tory playing Patten scored two baskets in quick succession. Grebe scored for the Y. M. c. A. He missed foul. Daley put one in the basket from the middle of the floor.

 He was a brand new game warden and had in no sense been spoiled by the little touch of rural politics which had punctuated his spotless career.
 He had heard of the grafter and his methods, but when Fate directed his steps to this honorable position it di- rected wisely, for it's choice Has an honest man who would do his duty
 And so, when he heard the report of a shotgun one day in early July, his jaw set firmly and he turned his head quickly to get the direction. Again and again he heard the report and finally located the source beyond a lonely hill.
 Stealthily he took the trail of the miscreant and shortly came upon two of them standing beside an automo- bile, one with the telltale gun in his hand and the other holding piece Of

 We had hardly started to pack when we got orders to send our baggage downstairs to he searched. This order was closely followed by another de- manding our immediate appearance in the inspectors office. He informed US that the increase in pay which we had been given during the last two or tTreA months had not been agreed to by the British government and that we would have to. pay back the difference befora we would be allowed to so to SwitZer- land.

 which stood to my credit. These notes were later discounted in Switzerland at

 The police corporal was in charge of
 the search of our baggage and removed
 my precious steel helmet, saying that it was war material He told us that we were to leave behind all photo
 graphs letters or papers of any des-. | eription. Those were to be placed in
 an envelope bearing our name and regiment, and after being censored
 would be forwarded to us if we went
 to Switzer'1ld. I compiled with this,

 The hall was crowded with people to see US off Schwester Edeiberta,

Just before we left one poor fellow came up to me and said that he had been pass ed by. the previous commission when it had visited Wahn. The day the party left there for Constance he was sent out to work, and thus missed his op- portunity of being seen by the second
 commission. He had since been sent to our hospital, but arrived just after
 the Swiss doctors had made their last
 visit. There was nothing for him to l do but wait till they came again. l I could not help comparing this } happy group of men who filed out of the hospital door and climbed into an ambulance to the similar group that } had arrived, weary and dejected, on } June 4. , (Continued to1norrow.) $
