STOCK NEWS

AsstheSmeeting of the United States Steel on the 29th comes nearer, the market is paying more attention to the figures to be there disclosed and to the probable cut in the rate Of dividends. While I do not think this is a very serious matter, in the long run it will be effective in restricting business during the Victory Loan campaign and pending some fairly definite line on what the President and the new Congress session will do on the subject of railroad control. It looks like a good time to accept reasonable profits in the general list.
 There ts a particularly promising lot of specialties that ought to be bought, 1t would seem, on any reac- ton. Our friends who follow the dispatches know the list by heart. They have all been making good.
 Bullish efforts will be confined to these. especially the shipping shares. If Mercantile Marine tonnage can be valued on the basis of new construc- ton contracts for ocean bottoms and ship stocks are cheap.
 Ann. Cotton oil affairs seem to be in particularly promising condition and a dividend raise is being freely discussed.

 FOR LOST LOVE
Girl tilted By Man Who Wooed Her Down in
 South America.

New York. April IA SI0O.O00 breach of promise action was filed yesterday in the supreme court by Miss Margaret Latnfesta, of Brook !yn. She charged that Livingstone M. Sturges, a representative of the Vulcan Steel Products Co, won Ii CT consent to be his wife in Guatemala.
 Her. father. Edward Latnfesta, was formerly Consul-General from Guat- emala to New Orleans. He is inter ested now in a chemical establish. ment at 345 West Broadway. His daughter. who is A, inherited con- siderable money from her grand mother. She came here to complete her educa ton.
 She said that she met Sturges in Guatemala in April, 1918. He courted her ardently, she said. Subsequently, she sad, she came to this city at his suggestion and waited for him to re- turn. When he reached New York he was affectionate, she said, but gradually his love grew colder.
 Upon hearing that Sturges was about to return to Guatemala, Miss Lainfesta obtained an order from the supreme court to compel him to file a bond for 1000 to assure hiss pres ence in court at the trial. A deputy sheriff served this order on him yes terday and he filed the bond.
 Burger x Burger. attorneys for Miss Lainfesta, have in their possession many love letters which, they said. Sturges wrote to their client. My darling little sweet heart" he called her. T love you with all my life he wrote in one letter. The letters will be produced at the trial.
 Miss Lainfesta said that she has all the money that she needs and that she is going to fight her case as a matter of principle. She said:
 T am willing to give any money I receive from a jury 10 charity. You can imagine how I feel. if I do not take up this matter. when I meet the people to whom I introduced MT. Sturges as my fance."
 MT Lainfesta called yesterday at Sturges' office. He said he met Sturges as he was leaving and asked him why he has not kept his promise to marry his daughter. He said Sturges told him he was too busy to talk about the matter at that time
 Sturges denies the aueEadonA

 After Boston Parade

Line after line of the enemy can7S at us. but each time We held o,l. ground and repuISed them Finally. We pushed them from the town. and save chase. After the battle the streets of Chateau Thierry were strewn with German dead. Many a Hun soldier paid the penalty of the GntrCstworthtncss of his companions. We had been warned that the Boche would throw up his hands and yeu
 hamerad' and then shoot us down or bayonet us as We approached. For thls reason many Germans were shot With their hands in the air, and I saw some dead in the streets of Chateau IhieTry with their hands extended"
 One Of my worst experiences was a two weeks hike. when we made R2out 70 miles each day. ! should say each night. for We slept in the woods by day and did all our walk Ing after the sun had set. I have slept on ground so wet. that the wa ter would ooze out and cover you as result of your weight on the ground
 ''At St. NIihiel an American bar-ara was kept up all one night. We went oFer at o'clock in the morning. and II was some cold day. The Germans offered terrible resistance at first put later scampcred away. We found the trenches we captured full of dead. The officers dugouts were furnished handsomely with electric lights. feath- CT beds, and the Iarders were flIesI with the best of foods. We were aI- lowed to sail into this and had some time In fact until we got this we hadn't eaten for two days and were good and hungry.
 During the battles at Argonne and Nerdun. we fought without artillery or airplane aid and had to face Ger man fire pouring down a steep hill"
 T was in Nerdun when the armis- tice was signed and we hiked about l 50 miles to a, rest camp.
 We were only in Brest two days. and our trip to Boston was unevent- ful, hut I think 1 have seen en-Ugh of war for a time. in fact we gre all trying to forget it. but we will all be on deck if we are ever needed again"

Sometimes I think I am in dream and l am going 10 wake up and find myself lying in some shell hole on the battlefield, up to my neck in water and mud, instead of back home in Bridgeport said Private Harold K Murray, Company H. 101st Infantry, 26th Division, who has just returned to Camp Devens, after a short fur lcugh. following" his arrival in Bos- ton with the 18th Division. He ex- poets his discharge after the parade.
 And let me tell you it's no joke either" said Private Murray. A shell hole was considered a comfortable bed in France, and in my life the time between the watery resting place and a good be- al my home at 1.6S0 Iran istan avenue. seems mighty short. es- pecially after having been in France for fourteen months"
 Private Murray. a former empioye at the local post office. was one of the men who enlisted in the old Con- necticut National guard shortly after was was declared. but it was not until February 1918 that he sailed for France. He has seen action on five fronts and except for a slight gassing, and a short while in the hospital q re- suit of a slight breakdown. did not have a sick day while fighting with the American expeditionary forces His tale of the action of his regiment shows plainly the enormous task which faced the 26th Division, and also the enormous victory gained by the boys from Connecticut.
 In speaking of Chateau Thierry, the local soldier said:
 We had been holding the lines at Vaux for over a, week, when suddenly we received orders that we were to go over the top a day break on the fol lowing morning and chase the Ger mans until we had cleared them from the surrounding territory. We went over in the shape of q ''V'' and chased the Hun for two days. On the third day we caught them. and they opened up on two Hanks and the front with machine guns and rifles. We pushed them back, until we were in the streets of Chateau Thierry, and here saw some bloody fighting.
