cities service Pfd. selling Low.

A. VI. D.-Cities Service pfd. has
undergone a readjustment along
with many other sound dividend
paying stocks during the past year,
as it was selling too high at %,
when other issues of merit were
selling upon 2 per cent 10 g per cent
basis We regard Cities Service
pfd. favorably at these levels, and
although it would decline further in
a reacuonary market. they will do
better as soon as conditions are
more favorable AS you would lose
20 points by selling. we advise you
20 hold. The dividend appears Sc
cured by earnings. the company has
"a good management and the only
trouble so far as we can see is that
this issue has had TO compete with
other attractive investment issues
yielding d more generous return.

SAYS GERMANS SEE DOOM NEAR

LONDON, June 18th. What the Amerl-
can forces have accomplished IN france
during the first II months of their partlc-
ipation in the war is described In an
authorized dispatch from special corre-
spondent of the Times. Til, Americans,
the writer says, are rapidly completing
the longest and greatest scheme of COM
| munication ever used in warfare.
After fortnight of solid travel, he
continues, 81 am convinced that what
the Americans have accomplished will
rank in history as one of the greatest
achievements of the war.
''For instance, out of the waste lands
have been constructed splendid line OF
modern docks where ships are daily dis
charging men, war material, cars and
machinery. A huge new warehouse syS-
tenn at this point is nearing completion,
in addition to motor parks, cold storage
plants and railway yards with tracks
aeereeating 200 miles in length In the
car assembling shops steel cars are being
put together at the rate of complete
train each day.
"Work is proceeding rapidly on new
20, OOO-bed hospital, the largest yet con-
structed There are also an immense
artillery camp and a remount camp where
saw several thousand horses.
''These port schemes are being so well
worked out that they are capable of al
most unlimited expansion, which will be
most important in pooling the allied effort,
for the American base ports may easily
become the main reserve centres for dis
tributing supplies to rail heads every
where on the front. The conditions were
the same along the hundreds of miles OF
American communications l visited"
In an accompanying editorial the Times
says:
"The German knows his doom is draw
ing near. He is well aware of what the
Intervention of America means for him.
When American preparations in France
are complete, the superiority of numbers,
the enemy's only advantage in the field,
will be gone, and the world will be in
sight of real peace"

THREE WORDS.

There are three words, the sweetest words
In all the human speech
More sweet than are all songs of birds
Or pages poets preach.
This life may be vale of tears,
A sad and dreary thing
Three words, and trouble disappears
And birds begin to sing.
Three words, and all the roses bloom,
The sun begins to shine.
Three words will dissipate the gloom
And water turn to wine.
Three words will cheer the saddest days
Il love you?" Wrong, by heck!
1t is another, sweeter phrase,
