London's Loss of Brokers

War continues to bear heavily on
the London Stock Exchange. Advices
from London say that fifty-six men,
bers have made known their intention
not to apply for reelection. "The
London Times" says in this connec-
tion: "This further reduction of the
population of the House is the inevita-
BILE effect Of the prolongation Of the
war, and the greater demands which
it makes on the man-power of the
country. Moreover, with money flow
ing, as it should do, into government
securities, business in other stocks and
shares constantly tends to diminish,
especially with speculative business
tions. On the whole, it is not surpris-
ing that the membership of the Stock
Exchange should continue to decline" !"

American Tel. and Tel. Stock Weak
American Telephone and Telegraph
stock turned weak in yesterdays Stock
Exchange session and touched 95as, the
previous low record, reached in April.
Last week, when the terms of the COM
pany's plans for issuing $5O,0O0,0OO Of
new convertible bonds were made
known, the stock held comparatively
firm. The heavy turnover yesterday
5000 shares, indicated considerable
amount of liquidation. The new bonds
are convertible into stock at 106, and
the rights to subscribe have sold as
low as lie, SO that at current prices
little opportunity has been presented
for arbitraging.
General Motors at New High
At its closing price yesterday Of
146A General Motors stock not only
showed a net advance of pa points
over Saturdays sale, but it topped its
previous high quotation, reached in
1917, by an eighth of point. The re-
cent sensational upturn has been helped
by large short interest, as indicated
by the high premium at which the
stock has been lending. The fact that
Chevrolet cut on the curb jumped
points, while General Motors was 60
ing up on the "big board" led to re-
ports that the plan for the absorption
of the former company by General
Motors had been practically completed.
The plan was announced as effective
on May 3, on the basis of l IT shares
of General Motors stock for each
share Of Chevrolet.

The Soldiers Chances

Great as the danger and large as the losses in the aggregate, the individual soldier has plenty of chances of coming out of the war unscattered, or at least not bably injured.
 Based on the mortality sta tistics of the allied armies. a soldiers chances are as follows:
 Twenty-nine chances of com ing home to one of being killed.
 Forty-nine chances of recover ing from wounds to one chance of dying from them.
 One chance in 800 of losing a limb.
 Will live five years longer be- cause of physical training, is freer from disease in the army than in civil life. and has better medical care at the front than at home.
 In other wars from 10 to l5 men died from disease to from bullets; in this war 1 man dies from disease to every 10 from bullets.

her unselfishness.
The Chinese government. it is add

ary proof that tho Germans have
made definite offers of assistance to
Russian revolutionary leaders if they
would cause trouble. The documents
are reported to mention Germany's in
