TOWN LOYALTY

A tremendous improvement has
been made in school life during re-
cent years BY eultivating what is
eAIAed School Spirit. You didn't hear
much about it in the school OF 90
years ago. But in the thoroly mod
ern school, YOU hear the idea con-
stantly emphasized.
The pupils are brought up to see
that they are not merely individual
and scattered units. but are working
toward certain ends that they all
have in common. II they want their
ball team to succeed. they can't do it
merely by remaining indifferent or
standing off and eritieiIing. In the
same way the pupils are taught to
hack mp whatever enterprises the
school starts. They learn that IL
the school IS to have 4 good reputa-
ton and get the facilities il needs.
the pupils must consider not their
own pleasure alone. but must work
and study for the benefit OF the
school as a whole.

Despite Steel
Strike Threat

Price movements in the stock market
yesterday indicated clearly that i'm
pulsive traders soon yielded to more
reflective operators as the dominant
factors. In the first fifteen minutes
the former were in control and as
result Of the announcement of the
leaders Of the unionized steel workers
that a nationwide strike would be
called in the plants of the Steel Cor
poration security prices dropped pre-
cipitately. Net losses at the opening
of II points by Crucible, by Mexican
Petroleum, as by Steel Common, and
Ga by Baldwin Locomotive indicated
the trend Of the market.
But the person who in disgust
turned away from the ticker at 1915
got wholly unrepresentative picture
of the days fluctuations. AS soon as
the liquidation of speculative hold
ings of the timid was completed, SELL
ing pressure ceased, and, on fair de-
mand for stocks, prices climbed up
rapidly and by noon large proportion
of the losses was regained
The mechanics of prices sugrcstcd
that the stronger financial interests
were skcDtical about the translation of
the strike threat into an accomplished
fact. The statement of Samuel Com
pers that organized labor really de-
sires industrial peace and the an
nounccment that another meeting of
the steel union leaders would be held
at Pittsburgh on September II, when
1t was lntimated President Wilson's
request for postponement of breach
until after capital and labor meet at
the White House on October 7 con-
tributed to the confident feeling that
the nations largest industrial enter
prise would not be harassed with
strike. And then, too, those traders
who bid up steel prices were influenced
by the prediction Of Charles NJ. Schwab
that the steel rail needs of the Ameri-
can roads would be stupendous in tic
next twelve months.
Toward the close of trading prices
became Irregular, and, although many
sucurities showed net losses for the
day, the reccssons at the close were
exceedingly small compared with those
at the opening. Steel Common sold
off ll2 points and the other steel stocks
revealed corresponding changes.
Standing apart from the general list
were the equipment stocks, which
closed higher, despite the break at the
outset Reports that large foreign or
ders to Belgium and other continental
countries can be taken as soon as cred

upturn.
Dulness again prevailed in the bond
market. Liberty bonds were irregular,
but changed in price only slightly.
Traction issues We're again weak.

Plus Risk Insurance

To bring negotiations of many Of
the loans that are now being sought
in this market by Europeans to a TO-
Gus, bankers here maintain that it
VII be necessary for the borrowers to
adjust their minds to higher interest
rates. Aside from the competition of
domestic issues which are known to
the investing public and which bear
high interest rates, the factor of in
surance must be considered in the
interest rates, which, in theory, cover
not only rental charges on money
loaned but also insurance to cover the
risk of loss. Because of the unstable
conditions existing in the Old World
the risk is enhanced, and therefore it
IS argued it will oe necessary to cover
the insurance charge on money loaned.
Leading international bankers declare
that many of the European nations

All Europe Seeks Loans Here

The slight, yet perceptible, improve
mcnt in the investment market during
the last fortnight has brought the ques-
tion of foreign financing to the fore
again. International bankers here as
sert that every European nation is
seeking funds here. Although many
of the countries will have to wait un-
til the peace treaty is ratified before
loans would be granted, some bankers
would be willing to extend credit to
such established countries as Great
Britain, France and Belgium before
legal peace is established. With the
betterment of market conditions here,
bankers have again become interest
ed in the matter of financial aid for
Belgium, but, as far as can be ascer-
tanned, no arrangements have been
made. In banking circles it was con-
sldered unlikely that public offering
of bonds based on a new Belgian loan
would be made until after October l.

Foreign Equipment Financing

Reports that the Belgian government
would finance the purchase from the
American Locomotive Company of four
hundred locom olives by giving tive-year
notes IN payment We're not credited in
equipment circles yesterday. If the or
der is placed it was considered more
likely that the equipment company
would get cash from the proceeds Of
the sale Of Belgian treasury bills to
New York banks. AS regards a gen
eral plan for financing foreign pur-
chases of American equipment, how
ever, 1T was emphasized that manu-
facturers would have to be willing to
accept the l O Us Of the European
buyers until the time when exchange
rates viii have returned to a more nor

Fletcher. president Of the American
Locomotive Company. that a Webb law
association be organized, with the CO.
operation Of the banks. is one of the
schemes being considered

In Wall Street
German Credits Arranged

A Central News cable from Berlin
yesterday brought the information that
representatives of American banks had
concluded long term credits with Ger
many, and specifically referred to the
Guaranty Trust Company. Officers of
the Guaranty promptly issued denial.
However, although the American banks
have not yet felt ready to extend a
large loan to German interests, many
small individual commercial credits
aggregatng perhaps 25,000,000, have
been arranged since Germany signed
the peace treaty. Then, besides, banks
here have financed goods in transit to
Germany, which were paid for in cash
on their arrival. international bankers
declare that they will be unable to
gauge the credit standing until they
ascertain the policy Of the Reparations
Commission, for rcparation dues will
constitute first lien on German wealth

ton the gross corporate income Of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway for the per-
iod OF Federal control, from January /,
1918, to December 81, 1919 (last four
months estimated), is S14,199,715, or a
yearly average of S7,099,s57. This pro.
vides for all interest charges, including
equipment interest payments and in
terest on the adjustment bonds. as well
as corporate expenses. The amount al
loved the company additional to the
standard return OF $6,497 ops is
S423,oO0, making a total of s6,92O.O25
as the annual compensation during
Federal control. The balance between
this figure and the S7,099,857 is made
up of other corporate income. The
total additional compensation is said
to be among the largest yet allowed
by the railroad administration.

Schwab's Estimate of Rail Needs

according to estimates attributed to
Charles NJ. Schwab, the railroads of
the country will need approximately
100000 tons Of steel rails over the
next twelve months. Assuming that the
carriers should purchase this amount
Of tonnage, it was pointed out in Wall
Street yesterday that new high
record in consumption would be re-
corded. The previous high water mark
Tor rail production was reached in 1906
with total of 3,977.S77 tons. In view
of the depleted state of the finances
OF the railroad administration and of
the railroads themselves, it is not be-
lleved IN equipment circles that this
year will exceed the output of thirteen
years ago.

Ten cent oil stocks have new com

The recession Of German marks each
day to new low levels for all times is
inducing speculation in them on the
part of those who believe the marks
will come back. The German unit,
whose nominal value is about 23.9
cents, was quoted as low as 3.7S cents
yesterday. One man who has bought

ured the prediction that he will double
