Possible Reimbursement of Finances.

Directors are expected to consider
a financial reimbursement plan short
~. If the plan urged by Chicago in
terests is adopted dividends would be
adopted at the rate of 81 a share
a year. or the equivalent OF $12 on
the old capital. The company earned
over $15 a share in the first nine
months of 1918, and should show
about $40 a share for the year after
taxes. Some cancellation of war
contracts is naturally expected, but
the company is protected against loss
on inventory. Net quick assets Of
more than So a share is one of the
arguments in favor of recapital-
ization. The stock frequently acts
as if interesting developments were
in store, and is moved up easily on
recurring reports of the readjust-
ment.

Forecasts of cold dry weather
tended to stimulate selling, mas
much as continued mild tempera-

been seriously retarding the crop
movement. Reports that congestion
abroad would compel a readjust-
ment Of the food administration
shipping program were also infuen-
tial toward making sentiment more
bearish. There was an evident
scarcity Of new buying orders, and
at the same time many holders, who
had profits to realize did not wish to
take further chances over Sunday.
Under these circumstances values
dropped rapidly and at no time was
there any important reaction.
Oats shared the depression OF

time being to have been discontinued

Il have never seen human beings Il
such a state of raggedness, hunger
and misery. When the camp at For
bach, So miles east of Metz, as we'll
as those elsewhere, were broken up,
tle prisoners, most of whom were
captured during the March often
sive, were told to clear out and seek
help from their allies. They started
to walk the so or 90 miles to the al
lied lines, but were given no food
and had no money. They were in
shameful rags, the soles dropping
off their boots. Some wore clogs
and no socks.
Lac Sll 4NSoos
They left the prison camps in
droves of hundreds in charge of Ger
man officers and soldiers who had
deserted. The weather was very
cold and many died by the roadside
within few miles from friends.
When the survivors entered the
French lines, French soldiers who
were hardened war heroes were hor-
rifed to see men in such a plight.
1t is not doubted that this suffering
was Intentionally imposed upon the
British. Prisoners of other ma
tionalities are agreed that the Brit
ish were treated worse than the 9th;

A further report of Sir Robert
Younger's committee dealing with
the treatment of British prisoners in
the coal and salt mines of Germany,
gives narrowing details of brutal
treatment by the Germans. This re-

This disgrace is open and fragrant
and the only possible inference is
that Berlin deliberately approves of

the mines is inflicted as punishment.
Here is an extract. from letter
dated May 20, last, from a British

Both relate story of most scanty

thousands of returning German
troops, who gave the Americans
