St. Paul Dividends Again Deferred

Those who expected that directors Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul

day, at least on the preferred stock,
were again disappointed. In explain
ing that the matter of disbursements
had been deferred for the seventh con-
secutive month the board announced
that statement would be sent to stock
holders explaining that no action would
probably be taken until the amount Of
compensation the road is to receive
under the government contract has been
definitely determined. Samuel Fisher

WALL STREET OFFICE:
Mills Building, is Broad st.

In much the same way as the
farmer trades his eggs for yards of
gingham or pounds Of sugar at the
crossroads store. it is now proposed
to exchange American manufact-
ured goods for Russian raw ma
terials. That is what is meant by
the statement that Russo-American
trade may be resumed on basis Of
"simple barter" It is a rather mis-
leading term in this connection,
however. The transaction between
the farmer and the country store
keeper is personal and really simple.
The transactions between the Rus
clan cooperative societies and Amer
ican exporters necessarily would be
more difficult, owing to complica-
tions and physical obstacles inher-
ent in the bartering Of goods at
distance of thousands of miles.
1t already appears that the Rus
slams will not trade in the dark
that they must see what they are
getting from us before parting with
the raw materials we are to receive
in exchange. That puts all the risk
on the American exporter. He must
assume the marine hazard--or pay
the risk rate, which amounts to the
same thing-on the goods he ships,
chance the rejection of his goods or
the seizure Of them after they ar
rive, as we'll as the risk on return
shipments.
But these and other obstacles are
not insurmountable, and it must be
remembered that other considera-
tions than mere profit are involved.
1t may be of enormous direct ad-
vantage to the United States and it's
allies to secure Russian raw ma
terials, and Of even greater advan-
tage indirectly by keeping them out
of German hands. 1t happens that
this is the only country in a posi-
tion to effect immediate exchanges
Of the kind. Germany cannot do
so, for, badly as she needs raw
products, she is, 50 authorities say,
in no position to make shipments of
the manufactured goods which the
Russians demand in exchange.

@MAID OF BELGIUM PICTURE
NOT FOR RED CROSS BENEFIT.
Editor. Hustler

Editor, Hustler:
1t a been my intention to have an
announcement in the papers this week
that there would be a picture on at the
Queen Theatre next Monday for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
However, it has just come to by at
tention that a good many ladies, after
reading the little hand-bil1 which tells
something of the picture, have express
e dthe opinion that it would hardly be
a suitable picture for the purpose.
Having read the full story of the pic
ture, I will assure every. one who
wishes to see "The Maid of Belgium
next Monday that there is nothing
wrong about it, and I a see no rea-
son why even children should not be
allowed to see it.
I will admit, though, that reading
only a part of the story might give the
wrong impression of the picture, so in
view of the feeling there seems to be
about it, ! am going TO take the liberty
of saying that the picture Monday will
not be a Red Cross benefit.
We will try to select one later to
which there can be no objection.
Very truly yours,
A. G. TEBEAU.

was a conference of forty minutes, the
result of which was described in this
statement, dictated by the president
himself and mad public by the dele

ALIEN ENEMY RESTRICTIONS.

Washington, Jan. ENEMY alien
restrictions probably will be extended
SOON to German women in the United
States. Legislation to this end is be-
ing drafted and congressional leaders
a v assured the department of Justice
it will be enacted promptly.
If this is done before the week of
February 4, when a nationwide regis
tration of unnaturalized Germans is to
be made under supervision of the de-
partment of justice, women probably
will be included in the enemy alien
census.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Petitions from
Hendersonville and Waynesville have
been filed with Representative Zebulon
Weaver, urging him to support the
federal amendment which submits the
issue of woman suffrage to the fndivid-
ual states. The Hendersonville petit
ton carried the name of eighty women
who pledged their undivided support to
the congressman in his intention of
voting for the amendment.
81 am going to cast my vote for suf-

men of the United States and the
south should not vote. That is those
that desire the ballot should not be
denied the privilege; there are vast

perry holders ind I feel that it is but
just to them that they shall decide how
they are to be governed and taxed"
