Daily Stock Letter.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, May 19.--The New
York Evening Sun financiew review
today says:
Today's stock market was going
along very well with rising prices for
most of the list when toward mid
day alarmist reports began to circu.
late through Wall street vaguely
limiting at ugly peace possibilities
that the Germans would not sign and
that orders had been issued by this
government stopping the withdrawal
Of American troops.
Yet the reactionary movement was
orderly and at best, represented losses
at scarcely more than a faction to a
point OF 30.
The feature of trading was the
broad advance and eager quest for the
shipping stocks except Atlantic Calf
which Jagged The marines common
and preferred, were the leaders with
out question.
1t was obvious that some in the
market had taken to heart warnings
which had been repeated on every
hand In the past week. In the last
hour prices were irregular.

SALVATION
ARMY DRIVE
Home Service Fund Of $4,000, 900 to
Be Raised by a Campaign
Through Avenues and
ByWays.
rBy United Press.l

NEW YORK, May 19.-The great
"Vs" of the successful Victory loan
are down throughout the United
States today, and in their place has
been hoisted the red shield OF the
Salvation Army. For the Army
whose workers everywhere in the
country aided Uncle Sam in putting
his big loan over the top, today be-
gan it's nationwide campaign tc
raise $1S,00O,O00 for its home service
fund.
Every street is a Victory lane IN
the Salvation Army drive. For more
than fifty years the army has been
leaving the broad highways to work
for uplift in the alleys, and its work
ers, both Salvation Army folk and
the vast force of volunteers, are to,
day on the avenues and byways alike
as they ask the American people to
express their gratitude for the work
the Salvation Army has done for
their soldiers in France.
Evangeline Booth, commander OF
the. Salvation Army in the United
States, and the members of her staff
attended the opening ceremonies OF
the campaign, at which former Gov
ernor Charles S. Whitman, national
chairman of the home service fund
presided.
Miss Booth, sanguine of the sue
cess of the campaign, said:
"The gratitude Of the American
people is so well known that I can
see nothing ahead of us but complete
success. We are asking the people
to give us little more than $780,,
900 day for eight days. In the past
we have received close to this
amount every year from our tam
BOURNE collections, which were made
quietly and without the systematic
effort we are making in our home
service fund drive. Besides, in for
mer days the Salvation Army did
not hold in the heart of the Ameri-
can people the place 1t now occu-
pies"
Two of the most active workers in
the campaign are the Mcintyre sis
tiers, Gladys and Irene, probably the
most famous OF the Salvation Army
lasses who went overseas. These
girls both were cited for bravery I'M
der fire and recommended for the
distinguished service cross.
The campaign slogan, "a Man May
Be Down, but He's Never Out!' Is
displayed everywhere on banners,
billboards, in store windows, outside
of dwellings, in the Hobbies Of the
hotels and in all other public places.
May 81, Doughnut day, will be OBJ
served, and "Doughnuts a la Perish
ing, the doughnuts that won the
war; will be available for everyone.

as soon as weather is suitable. At
present heavy squall and rain pre-

sopwith Code message.

LONDON, May 10. (7:50 p. m. Lon
don time. 1.-The British air ministry
wireless station at 4:05 p. m. today
picked up a message in the Sopwith
code which had not yet been de-
ciphered at this hour.
Conjecture was made as to the POS
sibility of this message being sent
by Harry Hawker, the British avia-
tor, who started from New Foundland
yesterday.
Prior to his jump off, Hawker in
stalled on his Sopwith machine a
radio apparatus with range of 100
miles.
Anxiety over Safety.
NEW york, May 19.-The fate of
Harry Hawker remained mystery
late today.
Anxiety over the safety of the Brit
ish aviator and his companion, Com
mander Mackenzie Grieve. increased
jas the time wore on.
Hawker left New Foundland for
Ireland In his Sopwith airplane at
551 D. M, Greenwich time G:51 p.
M, New York dme) and 1t was point.
ed out that If he had maintained his
schedule Of nineteen and one-half
hours he would have arrived at 1:21
p. m. Greenwich time (9:21 a m. New
York time). But at that hour the
British air ministry was without any
news of his progress.
Many rumors were afloat, one to the
effect that he had been sighted 400
miles off Ireland and that he was re-
ported off the Irish coast at 1890 p.
m. Greenwich time $3.50 a. m. New
York time).
Some time later no confirmation had
been received of either report. The
more optimistic of Hawkers friends
suggested the possibility that he had
been forced to land at an isolated
spot on the Irish coast and might not
be able to report his arrival for sew
eral hours.
