The Result of President Wilson:
 Statement of War Aims.

New York, Jan. S.-As measured in terms of security values, Wall Street did not take kindly to the presidents comprehensive statement of war aims as set forth in his unexpected message to congress today. Stocks declined. The address as viewed by financial in terests, offered little hope of an early solution of the many grave problems now engaging the attention of this country and its associates in the war. Previous to it's delivery-in fact, throughout the forenoon and during the early id-session-prices were one to three points higher in the sev- eral groups of peace and war shares and considerably higher in certain | specialties.

 Various other speculative issues re- ceived much of their upward impulse l from the decision of the supreme court setting aside the federal income tax on stock dividends. Immediately after | publication of the salient features of the presidents address, the list began to sell off, reacting two to five pNnts i under lead of United States Steel and investment rails. The decline was de- sultory at first, but became general in the last hour the market showing lit tie recuperative power at the close Sales amounted to 775,O00 shares. | A very large proportion of the day irregular operations in bonds centered around the Liberty issues, the 1-2s selling at 9S.SS to 9S.76. the first 4's, or converted 1-2's at 97.74 to 9778 and the second As at 96.66 to the new low record of 9626.

New York. Jan. S.-The New York National League club announced to- night that it had traded Second Base man Charles l.. Herzog, captain of last years championship club, to the Bos- ton Nationals for Second Baseman Lawrence Doyle, and Pitcher Jesse Barnes.
 The transaction closed a big three cornered deal involving the Chicago, New York and Boston clubs. Chicago recently sent Doyle and Catcher Will son to Boston in exchange for Pitch CT Tyler.
 The New York club also announced that Outfelder Benjamin Kauff has signed his contract for 1918.
 McGraw has been carrying on negotiations for some time for the release of Herzog, with whom he before the close of last season ab- sented himself from the team with out obtaining the managers leave, and thereby gained the displeasure of McGraw and some of the Giant play CTS. He was suspended, following his refusal to rejoin the team and al- though he played through the worlds series he did not resume friendly re- lations with his manager.
 A short time ago Herzog announc- ed he desired to be traded by the Gi- ants. and named the Braves. Cubs and Reds as teams with which he pre- ferred to play. As his contract gave him the privilege of selecting a team in the event that he should be trad ed,. McGraw decided ! that he could make the most advantageous deal witt | the Hub team.
 Herzog has threatened to sue the | New York club for $500 deducted from | his salary during his suspension ! Whether the shift will cause him tc abandon his plans is not known. The fact that HeTzog has proved to be { ! highly temperamental player it i! said, made him less valued asset 1T the eyes of club owners than his ability warrants. He is one of tht l greatest inielders in the game ,ant when in harmony with it's surraund l ings is without a peer at either secont base or short.
 Herzog became unpopular with thu | fants by his actions last Fall and hi
 departure will not be regretted much
 it is believed while the return 0
 Doyle will be welcomed by local fan
 dom as well as the Giant players
