London, Aug. 1o.-Reuter's, Ltd.,.
correspondent with the British
army in France sends the follow

man crown prince:
According to the statements Of
prisoners, the German crown
prince appears to be the most un-
popular leader in the German army.
He is accused by them Of being di-
rectly responsible for the Marne
disaster. They say that the opin-
ion is widely expressed by German
soldiers that the crown princes
amateurish interference with the

Germans Attribute (.
Defeat to Surprise
Attacks Under Fog

Amsterdam, Aug. 10.-Fhe Anglo
French successes are attributed to
their surprise attacks and the pres
ence of a. thick fog over the battle
field, according to a Berlin telegram
received here quoting semi-ofhcial
German news agency.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly
favorable ground for the movement Of
great masses of troops and the opera
ton of tanks, the initial success of the
Anglo-French armies under Field
Marshal Haig have not surpassed the
limits which usually result from a
first days offensive" the agency de-
clares. "A certain loss in guns and
prisoners in such circumstances is
unavoidable, but the enemy has not
reached any of his strategic goals.
Another semi-official utterance tel
egraphed from Berlin says Field Mar
shal Haig undertook the attack to re-
store the badly tarnis1ed military
prestige of Great Britain, and asserts
that "as usual the brunt~of the bat
tie was not borne by the English, but
by Canadins and Australians.

B. & O. Directors
Keep Dividend on
5 Per Cent Basis
Operations Under Federal
Control Expected to JUS
tify That Rate

Directors of the Baltimore e. Ohio
Railroad Company yesterday declared
the regular scm-annual dividend of 21a
per cent on the common stock, along
with the usual half-ycarly disburse-
ment OF per cent on tho preferred
shares. Both dividends are payable on
March to stockholders Of record Janu-
airy 10.
In statement issued after the meet
ing Daniel Willard, president of the
road, said that the company's earnings
for 1917, owing to abnormal conditions,
had been only equal to about 31a per
cent on the common stock and that it
would be necessary 10 draw upon the
surplus accumulated in previous years
20 mako up the deficiency
Expects to Maintain Rate
The action of the directors, Mr.. Will
lard said, was not taken with "the view
OF future operations under Federal con-
trol, AS that matter has not vet been
definitely determined" but it is the
"belief and expectation of the manage
ment that any basis Of compensation
which may be determined upon for the
properties of the Baltimore & Ohio
ka1lroad Company turned over on Jan
uary l. 1913, for Federal control and
operation should provide funds suff
cient for the maintenance of the pcr
cent dividend it has been customary to
pay since 1914"
During the three-year period to June
so, 1917, taken as the test period under
the. projected railroad bill, Mr.. Will
lard pointed out that the company had
earned per cent annually on it's com
mon stock, with an average surplus of
nearly S2,000,00O a year.
Statement Of Earnings
A statement Of the six months oper-
atlons considered at the meeting based
on actual figures for five months and
estimated figures for the month OF
December showed a deficit for the pc
rod OF about l per cent, and for the
year deficit of approximately IL
per cent.
The statement for the year showed
total gross earnings Of $133 ,663, 1875. an
increase Of $1l ,S68,284. The expenses
ut SOB ,24l. showed all increase of
Sic, 6,6G9,0oo, 50 that after deductne
taxes. etc, $4,477,310, the railway op-
Grating income. at 1885 $50, showed
a decrease Of $5,48s,840.
1t was pointed out that this decrease
IN net operating income. notwithstand-
ing an increase in gross revenues OF
approximately S12 900, 900. was because
OF increases in rates of pay and in the
cost of fuel and supplies aggregating
approximately $14,000,000 offset in
part by increase of rates of approx
imately S6,00O,0OO, and consequently
did not represent the normal earning
power of the present property.

Pig Iron Producers
Protest Against an
Order Diverting Coke
January Operations Said To
Be Without Profit to Mer-
chant Furnaces

Conditions in the iron and steel
trade have become so demoralized be-
cause Of acute freight congestion that
the authorities at Washington. it IS
asserted, are likely to find it necessary
to issue orders putting one government
need before another. If an order al
ready issued intended to divert 100 900
tons Of coke month from merchant
pig iron furnaces to two big Eastern
steel companies had been made eff
fective yesterday. as planned. such
priority, according to "The Iron Age"
would have been practically cstab-
lished
The two steel companies are engaged
in the production Of plates and ord
nance which are Of the highest i'm
portancc to the government; but, at
the same time. the output of the pig
iron producers who would be affected
by the order in question is nearly all
going into government work
The pig iron men have fastened to
Washington to protest against a dvi-
sion Of their fuel supply, but the
postponement Of such action is regard
I'd as only temporary.
Merchant furnaces, without being dis
criminated against, are finding it almost
impossible to obtain coke enough to
keep up their output. On competent
authority, "The Iron Trade Review
says. the statement is made that virtu-
ally not a merchant company IN the
country, outside Of the South. is likely
to show profit on the operations fos
the month of January
The American Iron and Steel Inst

Age" ""wiil be to move the huge accumu-
lations of finished material that have
brought many rolling mills to stand
still. Hundreds of thousands of tons
of export steel is involved, and the
ships TO carry much of it wait on

1.-The sharp cutting down of steel out
put points to a tighter drawing of the
lines against less essential industries
in the distribution of mill products
More labor would thus be turned upon
imperative government work.
