Sixty-six persons lost their lives
when the steamship City of Athens,
bound from New York for Savannah,
was rammed and sunk by a French
cruiser off the Delaware coast. The
missing include ten men and two wOm-
en- who were passengers, seven out
OF twenty-four United States marines
who were on board, fourteen out of
twenty French sailors and thirty-three
members of the crew. Both ships
were carrying running lights because
OF the heavy fog which hung over the
sea.
Gavrio Prinzip, the assassin of Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, heir appar-
ent to the Austro-Hungarian throne,
and his wife at SarajevO, Bosnia, died
in a fortress near Prague, of tubercu-
1osis.
British troops in Mesopotamia are
carrying on their pursuit of the re-
treating Turks, and have advanced as
far as the Tauk river.
Knowing that the Americans are
persistent souvenir hunters, the Ger
mans in the Toul sector have been
strewing No Mans Land with all sorts
of internal devices. In a number of
instances Americans have tripped over
internal machines, but have escaped.
Eighteen thousand soldiers of Rou-
manian origin who were captured ky
the Italians while fighting under the
Austrian flag have asked permission
to go to the front against Austria. 1t
is stated in dispatch from Paris that
the request has been granted
German field depots are being very
heavily drawn upon to replace recent
casualties. A company of $50 boys
of the 1920 class, who had only
eight weeks training, were put in
the fighting line recently.
German forces have occupied Sebas-
topol, the great Russian fortress in
the Crimea.
The first step in the organization
OF the five hundred million dollar gov
eminent war finance corporation has

mated four directors, who, with Sec.
Rotary McAdoo, will conduct the work
OF aiding in financing essential war
enterprises.
Rejecting all amendments designed
to limit the presidents authority, the

European.

Germany's barbarous treatment OF
the inhabitants Of occupied territories
and constant reQuisitioning of food are
provoking great resentment and caus-
ing armed clashes. In a village in the
Kiev district the inhabitants resisted
and the Germans subdued them with
armored cars.
A report has it that in the govern
ment of Minsk, Russia, the Germans
are Selling able-bodied men and send
ing them to Germany in locked cars.
The streets in the towns and cities
of Russia are armed with patrols of
German troops and machine guns ev-
erywhere.
Having met with a reverse in their
operations on the northern side of the
Flanders salient, where the French
and British have stood shoulder to
shoulder in defense of Ypres and the
high ground which forms a bulwark
in front of the channel ports, the Ger
mans have, as indicated by the most
recent reports, turned to the allied
lines in northern France.
A report from Paris says the German
artillery is now centering it's fire on
the line between Givenchy and the
Neippe forest, and it may be that the
Teutons will launch an attack against
this vital section of the British line.
From articles appearing in German
newspapers which have reached neu-
trail countries, it would seem that Ger
many will make no immediate at
tempt to take Ypres, as they consider
nothing would be gained by capturing
ruined city.
Some military experts in neutral
countries opine that the Germans may
make an attempt to cut straight
through the allied lines in an effort
to reach Paris and the channel ports,
believing that by so doing they will
strike terror to the French heart.
The critics all agree that Ger
many is still pursuing the same tactics

among the best in their class They
are not gilt-edge, nor Of the high

best OF the second grade preferred
stocks. and are selling at an attrac-

both cases. and earnings show a
strong upward tendency. Both is
sues are being bought by foreign,
as well as local investors, for in
come. Pierce Arrow common and
preferred are also very attractive.
The common stock was placed upon
a dividend basis on Aug I, 1917,
when S1.25 was declared. The
stock is on a permanent 81 per an

Arizona is a high cost producer. and
produced its copper last year at a
cost Of over 13c a pound While
such production costs were some
what abnormal, the company has
never made an exceptional showing
in the way Of low costs. and when
the price of copper comes down we
doubt whether the dividend is en-
tirely safe. For eight years the
company showed average earnings
of n trifie under s and this in con-
junction with the fact that the ma

pany are low grade and that the
earning position does not appear 10

inducement for suggesting a pur-
chase of. the stock. The company
is now earning at the rate Of about

CORN MARKET

Causes Break.
Associated Press Service


CHICAGO. Sept, 2S.-Rushes to
sell corn brought about a sharp fresh
break today in prices. Broadening
Of the entente offensive, together
with peace developments. furnished
most Of the impetus. The market
closed unsettled 12s to 81 net low
er. with October $1.391a TO S1.39 q q.
and November $1.39 to $1.39is. Oats
lost half TO - cent. The finish in
provisions ranged from 50 cents de-
cline 10 i cents advance.
Bearish sentiment in the corn
market appeared 10 intensity greatly
today instead Of losing force The
fact that "A grand offensive by the
entente was in progress on all
fronts. including Belgium. seemed
especially 10 impress traders. Mean
while the military placement Of
Bulgaria and the resignation of the
German chancellor combined fur
Their to deprive the market Of sup
port. Besides advices showed that
favorable weather prevailed in gem
eral for the cutting ana curing Of
the new crop. Some recovery. how
ever, in the last hour resulted from
weekend adjustment Of trades.
Liberal buying for the seaboard
kept the oats market from any radi-
cal setback. What weakness there
was seemed due to sympathy with
corn.
Provisions showed weakness
owing to an official denial that 4
guaranteed minimum price Of hogs
was contemplated. Liberal ship
pents for the week acted later as
something of an offset.

NipIssIng Not An Investment.

j. c.. Elkhart Ind.-Nipissing
cannot be considered permanent
dividend payer because ore reserves
are not only reaching the exhaus-
ton stage. but also because the
ores remaining in the mines are
low grade. and can not be mined at
anything like present profits with
silver prices at normal levels. So
long as silver remains at 81 an
ounce the company will probably be
able TO show fair profits and as the
outlook is that silver Will remain at
81 for some time the company is
likely 20 do well. during say the
net year or two. But these pros
poets are not permanent Purchas-
ers or holders should recognize that
a stock like Nipissing is not a per
manent investment and that its
dividend cannot be depended upon.

j. M-Cnited Eastern Is a good
speculative investment as the divi-
dend seems fairly secure. and earn
ings are about double current divi-
dends The shares may decline in
a depressed market, which is not in
sight. and we hesitate to make a
prediction regarding United Eastern
which appears To be selling low
enough considering its value. The
profits possibilities of the shares lie
IN the probability OF strikes at low
or levels i'm the mine and the posi-
biIity of an increase i'm the dividend
later. The shares have peace pos
sibiIiues when production costs de-
cline. while the price Of gold re-
mains the same. The margin Of
profits would naturally he higher in
such case.
