The Marine Debncle.

Now that the public is informed that
the Government has ordered the Marine
deal held up for further investigation,
wall street begins TO indulge in thoughts
as to the prospects OF some deal being
accomplished through purchase OF the
ships under discussion by the American
Government go. granting that It were
altogether likely that the British Gov
eminent, under existing circumstances.
would not care to have nearly a million
tons OF shipping transferred beyond It's
control. Wall Street made to itself the
tentative suggestion that perhaps
through diplomatic channels our Gov
eminent might overcome the natural an
tipathy 10, such transfer. There IS
nothing official In all this talk--nor I'M
official. In consequence Wall Street
satisfies it's developed appetite for specu-
lative incentive In the Marine issues.
The bearing OF all the talk on the mar
ket for the preferred might not have
been marked in the upward reaction
that set in after that issue touched the
low OF loe for the day. But at least
one commentator who has been IN touch
with all the vagaries OF the deal was not
convinced that the Marine debacie would
not in the end prove TO the company's
benefit.

Indeed from another viewpoint the
Liberty Loan payments might indicate
that some ease in money conditions
would ensue for the time being. Total
borrowings OF the banks at the Federal
Reserve Bank last week were $s4l. 000.-
900. The maturing Indebtedness certifi-
Gates will be used to reduce those Dor
rowings. and the cash received from Gus
toners Of the banks will be liquid cash
for them The easing OF the money strin-
gency by such transactions 10 measured
by the extent to which the banks Dor
rowings are reduced. The weekly Fed
eral reserve statement would very we'll
show considerable reduction in redis-
counts and advances. Yet there has
been no change in the situation so far as
speculation Is concerned. The money
committee is expected to make an an
nouncement either late this week or early
next week as to the subjects under dis
cussion In it's recent meetings. The e.
adjustment of a maximum limit on
brokers' loans will continue. The only
relaxation proposed Is the assurance that
any contraction OF borrowing for spec
ulative purposes shall likewise have a
limit

The concern OF the financial as we'll as
the railroad world as to the future OF
the railways now under Government con-
troll has brought to the forefront the
relative bearing OF the official manage
ment on the prosperity OF the individual
systems And one OF the chief concerns
OF the weak roads Is the extent to which
they can regain traffic diverted during
the war TO other routes. The control has
brought a more scientific routing of
freight which has strengthened those
systems whose alliances havo been physi-
cal rather than financial. This would
seem best exemplihed in the Union Pa
cinc-Northwestern alliance, to which
through the Government plans to make
freight deliveries more prompt much
business has been diverted from roads
like the Northern Pacific. Again in the
case OF the arrangement between the
Chicago and Alton and Toledo, ST Louis
and Western there would seem little rea-
son for perpetuating It. The main
tenance OF the more scientific routes
work to the advantage of the shipping
public. The single question arises as 10
whether tho public will permit a return
to the old systems for the sake OF giving
strength to the roads that are Naturally
weak

When Wall Street received the an
nouncement that the Maxwell Motors
Company had decided TO pass It's dlvi-
dend on the first preferred stock all the
issues of that company declined rapidly.
The common went of 8 points, the first
preferred stock IL points. and the sec
ond preferred over 1 points from the
previous close. which gave point to the
expressions OF surprise the publication
of the announcement brought forth. The
passing OF the dividend. according to the
official statement, was for the purpose Of
the CASH resources of the conf
pany against a future of unknown con-
tingencies. Hitherto the company has
paid its dividends on the issue in scrip
bearing per cent, with a maturity OF
two years From this fact arises the
question TO what extent cash Is being
conserved by refraining from the issue
OF further scrip.

Maxwell Motor Company directors yes
terday decided to conserve cash by omit
ting the dividend on the first preferred
stock, which had been paid in scrip since
February 10 OF this year, Wall street
was puzzled regarding the official state
ment that cash would he conserved

authorized the issuance OF the following

as to price movements and for the third

as to the type Of business, Regarding
the latter phase OF yesterdays market
no signs were seen of other than pro-
fessional activity, though the volume Of
business was slightly more than the
average for the past few days. Fropl
tho viewpoint established through the
succession of million share days several
weeks ago 1t was relatively dull. but
taking into consideration the summer
months 1t might we'll have been normal.
But the point OF view is set at the time

all appearances yesterdays market was
another proof that the sitting process
had met with large degree OF success.

JEWS ACTIVE IN BEHALF
 OF THE SOLDIER BOYS
(From Sundays Oailv)

Regardless Of war conditions and whether or not peace will come, 1t will be absolutely necessary for the work which is being done by the seven great agencies, making up the United War Work campaign, to have at their command sufficient means to carry on their work. The American soldiers and sailors must be cared for and these agencies have been of ficially designated by the war de- partment to carry on their particular branch of the work. An overseas doctor serving with the Y, who re- gently visited Prescott stated that re- gardless Of when peace might come, that it would take from two to five years before the soldiers and sailors could be returned to their homes. There will still be work to be done in chaotic Europe by the American soldiers and sailors. While they arc doing this. it is of paramount im- portancc that they receive the best that is possible under the circum- stances and through the organiza- tions which make up the United War Work campaign, this will be given 10 our men.

Strange things arc happening in this war. and the following letter front France, written by Brick 'Eb- berS, to his mother, Mrs John l.. Me Ncy, no doubt will prove interesting as well as surprising. Sergeant Eb- bcrs is with an artillery battery and formerly served in the regular army, having been honorablv discharged at Fort Whipple in 1905, when attached 10 the machine gun platoon. He re- enlisted at Douglas about year ago, and owing to his past military train ing was given a non-comniss stoned rank He says:
 Just think of it. When we were on the drive a few weeks ago l was going 10 the mess tent, when all at once heard a German prisoner in his tongue say: "Ebbers. they got you too" Stopping, and turning around | addressed him as follows: What do you meth" whercupon the Hun looked surprised as ] spoke in German, too. Advancing to the Stockadc engaged him in convcrsa- ton. when the other EbbcrS butted n. l then told them both that my name was Ebbers, and you would have laughed at the astonishcd Huns. The more l talked the more excited they became. and the Hun Ebbers tried to scrapc up a relationship, but
