WASHINGTON, Dec. i1.--All South
American countries have been asked
by the United States to join in its
suggestion to Chile and Peru that the
interests of Pan-American unity de-
mand an amlcable settlement of their
controversy over the provinces Of
Tacna and AFRICA Acting Secretary
Polk OF the State Department an

Good Omces Not offered.
Secretary Polk made It clear that
the American Government was not

was conveyed to all the South Amer

Officials explained that Peru's prompt

G. G. WARD DECLINES
CABLE MANAGEMENT
Mackay Urges Burleson to APP
pear Voluntarily in Suits
TO Test Power.

Clarence H. Mackay. president of
the Commercial Cable Company, last
night made public letter he had
written TO Postmaster-General Burle-
son in reply to an, inquiry regarding
the company's intentions with respect
to the acceptance by its general man.
nger. George G. Ward, of the general
managership OF both the Commercial
Gable Company and the Western
Union Company, under Mr.. Burleson's
control.
The letter states tina: Mr.. Ward has
no intention of accepting the post
mot wishing to challenge action by
the Grand Jury for combining com
petitive cable systems after the end
of the war in violation OF the Sherman
antitrust act" Mr.. Mackay then
urges that the Postmaster General. by
appearing voluntarily. permit the trial
OF the two suits instituted by the
Mackay Companies to adjudicate the
question of Mr.. Burlesons authority
for taking over the cables.
Mr.. Mackay declared that "it may
suit the Western Union 10 have the
losses OF its system borne by the
Government, in these days when one
half of its system Is out OF use, but
we decline to take part In any such
arrangement"
The letter concludes with an ex.
preston OF regret that the Postmaster
General, in originating plans for the
operation of the cables, did not see
ut to ask the advice of Mr.. Ward. but
relied entirely on the advice Of Mr.
Vail. whose practical experience has
been for many years in telephone
management"

New York. April 2.-Declaring that
operation of the American Smelling e.
Refining Co, under the direction Of
governmental commission was "se-
riously teopardi2ing" the ability Of the
company To pay a fair return to it's
stockholders, President Daniel Guggen-
HEN today in His annual report an
nounced that earnings of the company
for the fiscal year ended December 81,
1917, were s20G,35S less than for the
preceding year. The decrease was due,
he said, to the government fixing prices
Of metal products and the fact that the
cost of labor and supplies was not
fixed. The company's earnings for
1917. after deducting general expenses
fixed charges and taxes. aggregating
G5,035,938 and earnings applicable to
the common stock equalled 2 l-2 per
cent.
The company last year paid six per
cent dividends on its common stock
and one per cent Red Cross dividend.
Mr.. Guggenheim says that while the
profits heretofore made by the COM
pany would not have been able to en-
large it's work and increase it's output
in meeting the necessities of the gov
eminent. The engagements referred to
cost approximately $l5.000,000, all of
which were taken out of earnings.
