SCRAP OVER NEW THRONES
Row Among Princes Is Endangering
German UNITY,

Amsterdam, May 21.-The Berlin
newspapers give indications that the
prospect Of new thrones in the East
for German princes has stirred Ger
mar court circles as seldom if ever
before. The Socialist newspaper
Vorwaerts says that agents from the
court are travelling hither and thither
in efforts to make propa ganda for or
against the various families to which
the honors might fall.
This scramble for thrones, Vor-
Waerts fears, may endanger German
unity. 1t therefore urges, probably
in a spirit Of irony. that a compromise
be effected by filling the thrones with
Turkish princes.

Urges Il. r. Security
Holders to Act

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. los. Da-
vies Warfield, president of the Nation
al Association of Owners of Railroad
Securities, who spoke here to-day be-
fore the convention of the savings
banks of Connecticut, declared the
future of railroad securities is assured
if the properties are returned to their
owners.
"The future of railroad securities" )"
he stated, will lie entirely on the
methods to be adopted by Congress
under which these properties are to be
returned, and that will also provide
for their permanent regulation by
governmental authority. President
Wilson in his annual message to Con-
gress has left the settlement of this
question to that body.
ut is, therefore, incumbent upon
those who are vitality interested in the
outcome to make suggestions in re-
spect to the manner in which the rail
roads are to be returned and the meth
DDS to be adopted for their continu-
ance under private ownership under
broad plans for Federal regulation"

Will sanction the outgoing Secretary's
recommendation "Under existing law
said a prominent banker yesterday,
the United States may lend to the
Allies only for war purposes and dur
ing the war. Now that the war emer-
gency is passed there is 10 valid reason
why this government should continue
to act as the Allies banker and take
their securities on basis that is wav
out of line with the market for Allied
securities placed here before this coun-
try entered the war. American bank
ers are willing to place Europe's Sc
curities here on fair basis, and this
is what should be done"

Current
Steel Orders Decline
But Cancellations Have Not
Been Abnormal, Gary States

Cancellations of government con-
tracts with the United States Steel Cor
poration have not been greater "than
ordinarily" according to statement
made yesterday by E. H. Gary, chair
man Of the finance committee. in con-
nection with the publication of figures
showing the amount of untitled orders
on hand November 80.
Untitled orders on the corporation's
books at the close of last month
amounted to s, 1874 ,663 tons, compared
with 8, 353, 293 tons on October 81 and
1887, 106 tons on November 80. 1917
The decrease of only 228 $50 tons from
the October total came as an agreeable
surprise IN Wall Street, in view of the
general belief that cancellations had
been heavy. Judge Gary, in his state
ment on the November tonnage figures.
said: ''s N'o''
The decrease in tonnage is accounted
for principally by greater shipments
than there were bookings of new or
GERS. Ihe cancellations were no great
er during the month than ordinarilv."
Bookings of the corporation on No.
vember 80 were the smallest since Jan
uary 81. 1916. when they totaled 1922,
767 tons. The high record for untitled
orders was made on April 80, 1917
when 12,183,oS3 tons were reported. On
November 80, 1913, pre-war period
they aggregated 4.396,347 tons.

Relevant Comment
Money Market Control

Reports that gained circulation in
the Street yesterday that the bankers
money committee will continue its
supervision of the local money market
situation fer at least six months to
come went unconiirmed. 1t was stated
IN banking quarters, however, that cir
cumstances indicated a continuance Of
9cme sort of control and that it was
not improbable that the bankers had
decided to keep the committee and it's
organization intact for use later on if
necessary. Heavy governmental de-
mands are yet to be made upon the
market, it was pointed out, and at the
same time the Federal Reserve authori-
ties at Washington have emphasized
the need of restricting credit opera
tions so far as possible. The money
committee held its regular weekly
meeting at the Federal Reserve Bank
Yesterday.

The Rise In Steel

Yesterdays rise in Steel common was
attributed to two factors. The first
was the optimistic address made by
Judge Gary Monday before the mem
bers of the American Iron and Steel
Institute, and the second the Steel Cor
roration's November untitled orders
showing a falling off much under what
the financial district had estimated in
view of widespread cancellation of
government contracts. While most of
the advance to above 90 was probablv
due IN large measure to short cover
ing, brokers stated that there had been
large amount of buying during pre-
ceding days for the long account. At
the closing price of 1914 Steel showed
net gain of IA points.
