this movement has given Gen. Denikine's
southern army an opportunity 70 ad-
vance. Gen, Denikine, the statement

much material and has greatly extended
his field or action.
The sapture of Tsaritzin is the latest
striking success of this army" says the

Is beaten, having lost three-fourths OF

B. & o. MAY RESUME DIVIDEND.
willard Says II Depends on EARLY
Restoring OF Normal Conditions.
Speeial Desnofch IN TNup SrS

BALTIMORE, July l5.-In a lengthy
letter to stockholders. just issued. Dan
lei willard. president OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company. speaks. on
the whole. enthusiastically and intimates
that with early restoration to normal
conditions dividends on his ccmpanys
common stock may be resumed
On that point he says; "If Federal
control OF the railroads is terminated on
December 81 next and II Congress in
the meantime provides a wise and con-
structive policy OF regulation for tho
future. and II the Director General or
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will authorize and make effective before
that date such additio NIL advance in the
rates and charges as may be necessary
to restore proper relation between rev.
enue and operating expenses. and ! be-
lieve that We may reasonably expect all
OF these things to be done. can see no
reason why the railroads generally may
not thereby be placed upon a sound and
self sustaining basis or why the Balti-
more and Ohio in particular may not
look forward with confidence to an early
restoration OF normal conditions, which
should. of course. be accompanied by a
return OF reasonable dividend payments
to holders OF Baltimore and Ohio COM
mon shares"
He reviews matters which led up 10
the necessity for passing the dividend
on the common stock. which in sub
stance are familiar He argues that n
further increase in railroad rates and
charges OF substantial character are i'm
perative.

A friend asks that their names be
given.
Apologizing for presuming to be
able to do so, we "take shot at it,
as the boys say. The word "grcat" as
applied to men, has wide range of
meaning and application. Opinion
therefore differs. On the spur of the
moment the following names occur:
President Woodrow Wilson, Elk
President VIM. Howard Taft, Gen.
John j. Pershing, Herbert Hoover,
Elihu Root, VIM. Jennings Bryan and
Hon. Josephus Daniels. In point of
character, achievement and influence
the above named gentlemen are pre-
eminent and will shine as bright
lights in the history of the world.
