The Evils of Initiation

To the Financial Editor of The Tribune
Sir: / am deeply interested in the
subject of imitation and gravely con-
ccrncd over the war financing policy
to which our country has apparently
committed itself.
The evils Of imitation are so insidi-
ons. so far-rcaching and so disturb

ncse that they rise to the proportions
Of national calamity. No one who re-
mem bers that It took twenty-five years
after the bursting Of the imitation bub-
bic Of the Civil War for the country
AZ Il whole to recover can view pro-
gpectjyc imitation without alarm.
1t is true that up to the present
moment there has been little, If any,
actual imitation. The rive in prices
we have experienced is undoubtedly
due almost wholly TO increased de
mand for commodities and increased
gold supply but if the government
issues any very large amount Of bonds

Fear Dutch Restrictions
Seizure Of Shipments May
Stop Flow of Tin

The seizure of Dutch ships in the
United States waters may reduce the
production Of tin in this country. In
metal circles the relation between
these two facts was discussed ycster-
day. Much Of the raw materials needed
by the tin plate mills has recently
come from the Dutch East Indies, cs-
pecially since England has restricted
trade in tin with her colonies.
If Holland accepts the action Of the
United States and the Allies in bad
grace it is feared that she may inter
fcre with Americas commerce in tin
and that The flow Of raw material from
that source may be impeded. Such a
contingency, it is said, would make a
bad situation in the tin market worse
At present spot straits tin, which
is quoted as high as 81 a pound, is
virtually unobtainable, and shipment
tin of various brands is offered at from
rs to 90 cents a pound, compared with
53 a cents a year ago. And at this
price business is restricted because
buyers are not sure when deliveries
can be made.

Of Schedule

Directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad Company at meeting yes
terday voted to appropriate out Of the
net earnings for the twenty months
ended December 81 last $7,5OOOOO for
property expenditures under the agree,
ment made with Kuhn, Loeb G. Co. ana
the National City Company in the
spring of 1916 for the purchase Of $4O,-
100000 of the railroads thirty-year 5
per cent convertible bonds.
BY this action the company antici
patcd its requirements for expend-
lures on additions and betterments by
more than a year, as the agreement
with the bankers stipulated that the
road had until June l, 1919, in which
to spend the full $7,5O0,0OO. y
In all the Chesapeake G Ohio agreed
to spend S15,500000 to meet the re-
quirements of the bankers before they
would consent to underwritc the con-
vertible bonds. The larger part Of tn s
issue was set aside to pay off S33000,
600 five-year per cent notes that
mature on June l next year.
Frank A. Trumbull chairman of the
yesterdays meeting that the surplus
for the twenty months ended Decem-
Der 81. after the reserve for better
ments had been set aside, amounted to
S1,76S,5 500. "Thus we have done in
twenty months" he said. "what we
were allowed to do in three years"
When the Chesapeake & Ohio
financed it's notes in the spring of
1916 the company was just beginning
to recover from period Of depression
that resulted in the non-payment of
dividends during 1915. In 1916 stock
holders received per cent and last
year per cent, which is also the cur.
rent rate.

pany's S62, ,792.00 outstanding common
stock last year were 1926 per cent,
compared with 1921 per cent earned
in 1916.

Oil Director Is
Making Survey
Of Pipe Lines
Has Not Decided on Pool
ing; Producers Want
Guarantee

An investigation has been under
taken by the oil division of the
United States fuel administration, it
was learned yesterday, to determine
whether it will be necessary to pool
the pipe lines Of the country into one
great system in order to facilitate the
distribution of crude oil. 1t was re-
ported that arrangements might ulti-
mately be made for connecting up all
the private pipe lines and operating
them as a unit, much in the manner
in which the government Is now op-
Grating the railroads.
Mark L. Requa, director Of the OIL
division, when asked regarding the in
vestigation, said that the whole field
was being carefully gone over. S. A.
Guyerson, jr., a California oil man
who has been identified with prominent
independent oil properties on the Pa
cihc Coast, has charge of the investl-
cation of the pipe line situation 1t is
expected to take considerable time to
evolve any plan that might be adopted
for co0rdinating the pipe lines.
Drilling Cost High.
Producers of oil were much inter
ested yesterday in the announcement
made by Mr.. Requa that whenever the
vate oil contracts will be abrogated
and producers ordered to supply oil
to indicated industries, regardless OF
existing contracts. Henry L. Doherty,
who has a large stake in the oil m
dustry. declared that the coil pro-
ducers must have some guarantee
from the government against heavy
losses that may be incurred IN the
drilling of new wells. 1t costs about
$4,000 to drill a WE'LL" he said, land
if it proves to be a dry hole, then the
against such possible losses that the
producer ought to be protected, and
the only protection is to grant higher
prices so that profits from holes that
yield oil will balance losses from dry
wells"
According to Mr.. Doherty the lack
of new production and the constant
depletion of reserves are likely to
bring about a scarcity OF OIL com
parable to the coal scarcity, unless
prompt action is taken to stimulate
development of proven acreage :. e ana
the exploration of untested fields.
Prices Advanced
Further advances in crude oil prices
were announced by producers IN va
rous parts of the country. following
the marking up OF quotations IN the
Oklahoma and Kansas territory. The
Ohio Oil Company advanced the price
of the following grades OF crude OH
10 cents a barrel: North and South
Lima to $22S; Indiana to S21S;
Wooster to S2.5S; Illinois and Prince
ton to S2.32, and Plymouth to 1928.
Three grades of Wyoming crude
were advanced in price, Big Muddy 20
cents to $3.50 barrel and Elk Basin
and Grass Creek Is cents each to Sl.oo

Govt Orders Pullers
To Hold Wool Stocks

WASHINGTON, March 2l.- Wool
pullers and dealers in wool relts have
been ordered by the War Industries
Board to hold all stocks for the op-
ton of government purchase at maxi
mum price of II cents pound Deal
crs will be required to make monthly
reports Of all stocks bought during the
preceding month. They must hold the
stocks for twenty days. and if not tax
en- at the end of that time, they may
sell in the open market
An increased demand for sheepskin
Jenkins for the army prompted the ac-
ton Of the War Industries Board. These
jenkins, the wool-pullers were told, are
taking the place of sweaters for SOL
diers at the fighting front. No immc-
diate shortage is in prospect, wool men
said. The price fixed applies to the
price at which hides arc to be sold to
INC tanners. Prices which tanners may
charge have been fixed at 16, IS and 20
cents.

Cotton Prices
Jump to New
High Records
All Deliveries Rise as Short
Interests Cover-Spot
Position Strong

A sharp movement upward distin-
guished the cotton market yesterday.
All deliveries expect July established
new high records for the season. March
sold up to 34,05, or more than $3.50
bale more than the closing price of
Wednesday, on covering by those who
had sold short in expectation of a fall
and who have only until noon to-day
to buy back their contracts or make de-
liveries.
May sold up to 32.99, or 60 points
net higher, and closed at 1921, with
the general list closing strong at a
net advance Of 33 to ~ points. OBJ
viousy the market was responding to
continued demand from trade
sources, strength in the goods market,
scarcity of spot offerings and cover
ing by recent sellers.
Possibly the failure of the official
Western belt forecast to confirm pri-
vate predictions of rains in the South
west was a factor. but the advance
was led by the near months Buying
here by men with Liverpool affiliations
has taken a good deal of cotton off
the market during the last few DAYS,
and people who had sold earlier in the
week on the talk of price fixing and
other features evidently lost faith in
their position.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 2 to 16 points in response
to higher Liverpool cables, but almost
immediately y eased off under selling bv
old crop longs and scattered liuuida-
tlon of new crop deliveries on the talk
OF better rain conditions for the South
west.
Manchester cabled that stocks of
yarn were diminishing, and it was said
that in practically all markets buyers
or goods are more concerned over get
ting supplies than critical as to prices.
Though the taking over of the Dutch
shipping was much discussed at the
Cotton Exchange, it's effect on the mar
ket appeared to have been discounted.

is owing to the fact that in England

SEWER SOLDIERS ARRESTED.
One Native German, Admirer Of the
Kaiser-Other Born in Austria,

Greenville, Feb. 21.-Two soldiers
Of Camp Sewer, Privates Heinrich
Adler, 105th ammunition train, and
Julius Rubenstein, base hospital,
have been arrested by U. s. Marshal
G. J. Lyon on confidential instruc-
tiOns from Washington and lodged in
the county jail here, presumably
awaiting further instructions. The
charge against them is not stated.
Adler, who is 81 years of age, and
who has been in this country only 20
months, is a German citizen. He says
that when war was declared he was
discharged by the firm In Charleston,
for which he was working, and that
being unable to get employment any
where, he enlisted in the army.
Rubenstein is an .unnaturalized
Austrian citizen, having been
brought to this country when two
/ years old. He was drafted at New
ark, N. j., and was first sent to Camp
Dix, Wrightstown, N. j., and later
transferred here. Recently, accord
ing to him, he applied for an honora-
BILE discharge as an alien enemy. This
he says was granted, but simultane-
ously he was arrested.
| Both men deny any hostile acts or
intentions, and Rubenstein affirms his
! sympathy for the United States, al
! though Adler is apparently a great
admirer of the German Emp eror
Following the usual action in such
| cases. they may be sent to a deten-
ton camp for the duration OF the
