Amsterdam, July 31.--The chie
of the German admiralty stan. Adss1

adds the admiral. is to reduce enemy

Referring to "a statement attributed

and that more U-boats were being

Thomas w. Lamont Thinks Tele-
phone Shareholders Should
Be Satisfied

Thomas W. Lamont, of J. P Morgan
& Co., said yesterday that the govern
ment's taking over Of the telephone
and telegraph lines for war purposes
is step which ought to prove salts
factory to holders of securities of the
companies in question.
"Postmaster General Burleson makes
it clear in his announcement" said Mr..
Lamont, "that the greatest care will
be taken to conserve the properties and
their permanent earning power SO
that for the long future it would ap
pear that investors in these great COM
panies have little to fear for the stabil-
ity and earning capacity of the cor
poratlons.
"As for the immediate future, the
law under which the Administration
has taken action states that Just com
pensation' viii be paid by the govern
ment for the use of the properties-a
rental which ought to be readily suf-
ticient to meet all fixed and present
charges, including dividends. Further
more, the physical and financial condi-
lion of these telephone and telegraph
properties is now so sound that we
regard present holders of their securi-
ties as we'll warranted in being entire
ly content with their investments as
they stand to-day"
