FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL.

New York, March 1S.-Trading on
the stock exchange today was note
worthy chiefly for the fact that the
early and intermediate sessions were
punctuated by frequent periods of
apathy, in striking contrast to the high
pressure of the past fortnight.
Activity was most marked in the
final hour, when a temporary demand
for high grade rails infused strength
to the general list, but this inquiry
flattened out when other leaders re-
acted one to almost five points on OBJ
vious selling for profits and offerings
for the short account
Accompanying the intermittent dull
ness were surface indications that the
recent speculative whir1 had run its
course for a while and that certain
branches of the list had become what
is technically known as stale"
Not only was the market movement
less sustained. but the scope of the
trading also experienced a pronounced
contraction, concentrating TO an un-
usual extent in specialties Of the sec
ondary or less important groups.

With the millions of men who
formed the Army of Victory-the
greatest army the world ever know
returning TO civil life. each and every
man more interested in the great out

ing in 1919 should have its greatest
year.
We say this because every man who
wore a service uniform is a trapshoot-
er or is a possible recruit to the sport.
The United States government
through the War and Navy Depart
ments took particular pains to see
that every sailor( soldier and aviator
knew how to shoot before getting in
to active work-and the majority of
these men learned to shoot by using
the shotgun.
As no one knew how long the fuss
was going to last, hundreds of thou

posts so that the business of the

is a move in the right direction. Can

shooting and as the A. Z. A. eXer-
cises jurisdiction over trapshootiug
in the dominion it is only fair that the
champion should compete here for the
national amateur title

will be held, but the feeling is that the

club held the tournament the past two

of its trapshooting committee, has
again extended the courtesies of ths
club to the A 7. A. Better tourna

BRITISH OFFICER
 SAYS SIGNATURE
 ON REPORT NOT HIS
Declares He Never Saw Chamberlain Until The
 Court Inquiry

London, April 1.-At the court martial of Captain Edmund c. Cham berlain, an officer of the Marines, in connection with his reputed avia- tion exploits on the British front last July, it developed today that about July 26, 1918, an aviator ham, ed C. C. Whiting, who had previous ly been attached to the 43rd squadron of the Royal Air Force visited his former comrades at 1ouquin, France. and brought with him an officer of the United States Marine corps. Whether this officer was Captain Chamberlain the squadron command CT, Major c. c. Miles, was unable to say in his testimony.
 The visitors, Major Miles added, stayed for tea, and returned that af- ternoon by automobile to Paris. The major said that Chamberlain never flew with his squadron to his know ledge and that no machine was bor- rowed or stolen during July. On cross examination Major Miles testified that no record would be kept of such a visit
 Major Miles admitted that many pilots of the squadron were sick at the time from influenza. He admitted also that pilots put on their flying clothes in the hangars.
 Denies Signature. C. N Lowe, a Royal Air Force commander in the squadron station ed at Corteville last July, testified that the signature "C. N. Lowe" at- tached to one of the alleged Chamber lain reports was not his and that he knew of no other man named Lowe in the Royal Air Force with those initials. Lowe said that he did not know of any officers of the names ap- bearing on other alleged British re- ports.
 He declared he never saw Cham berlain until the time of the court in- quiry at Havre.
 The defendant was then admitted to call two character witnesses out of turn. They were Professor E. w. Pahlow, representing the American army educational committee and F. F. Woodward, a banker, of Joliet, H., Professor Pahlow said he knew Chamberlain at the Lawrenceville school in New Jersey in 1911 and paid tribute to his integrity and his trustfulness. Mir. Woodward said he had known Chamberlain for many years and had entrusted large sums of money to his care. He said he did not believe that Chamberlain was ca- pablo of dishonorable act

The Delaware river in the vicinity of the Merchant Ship building company's plant is being searched today, but the coroner stat ed that he had no reason to believe that more than four had been drown ed.
 About 50 workmen climbed upon the platform near vacant shipway in order to get good view of the launching. This toppled over and all of the fell into the water. As far as is known all were rescued except four.
 The coroner today absolved the, shipbuilding company from blame for the accident. He said the men were on the platform in violation of the rules of the company.

BELIEVES LEAGUE WILL BE AMENDED
 AND APPROVED
Hitchcock Says Covenant Will Be Sent Here Too
 Late For Amendments.

Washington, April 1.-Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign relations committee, III the last senate, speaking tonight be- fore the Washington commercial club expressed the belief that the propos- ed covenant of the league of nations would be amended, 'as public opin- ion has demanded" and together with the peace treaty would be rati- fled without change when submitt- ed to the senate The Nebraska senator urged the necessity of a prompt peace settlement in order to stop the lawlessness in Europe.
 "This treaty, when it comes to the senate" Senator Hitchcock said, twill have had the benefit of criticism not only in the United States, but ln other countries and will probably in clude such amendments as public opinion has demanded.
 "When the peace settlements comes over here for the ratification of the Senate it probably will be too late for the Senate to attempt am endments. Any amendment adopted by the senate would have to go back for acceptance by the other thirteen nations and that would delay the peace settlement for long time. De- lays are said to be dangerous and in this case, they are dangerous Tn the highest degree because at the present time, the very life of civilization in Europe is at stake. If peace settle ment is not produced at an early date, the spread of lawlessness and de- spair may involve still more of Europe"
 Discusses Changes.
 Disclaiming any special informa tion of the inner workings of the peace conference, Senator Hitchcockk, said that among the changes he assumed would be made would be the insertion of amendments giving a nation the right to withdraw from the league and specially reserving the right of individual countries to con- trol their own domestic affairs, in- cluding immigration. He said he also believed that provisions would be in- serted makin it clear that no decision of the executive council nor of the league would be binding on any na- tion except by unanimous vote and and that the recommendations by the executive council for the renuncia- ton of armaments be not effective until each nation through it's con- stituted authorities had approved them.
 Senator Hitchcock said that one of the curious features of the opposi- tion to the proposed covenant was the variety and inconsistency" o1 that opposition. He added that there were mot many who are opposed or principle to the idea of league o1 nations"
 "All of this opposition" he said "testifies to the fact that the league is an international creation and rep resents compromise between the diff ferent nations, all bent upon the same idea of preventing war"
