v. R. &E. DECLARES
USUAL DIVIDENDS

The board of directors Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany declared the regular quarterly
dividend of TX per cent on the COM
mon and preferred stock yesterday
afternoon. The dividend is payable
March /. books closing February "a.
The surplus of the company will be
drawn on for the payment of this
dividend. William F. Ham. president
of the company. in the annual report
made to stockholders on January Is.
after summarizing the consolidated
income account of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and
all subsidiary companies. showed that
the surplus income for the year end
ing December 81. 1918. was $685.
544.42
Sinking fund requirements of the
Potomac Electric Company and the
payment of the regular per cent
dividend on the common and prefer
red stock of the Washington Rail,
way and Electric Company amounted
to $s56,0o0, leaving profit and loss
deficit for the year of $176, ABS. So.
Commenting on this, President Ham
said: This shows that we have
failed by that amount to earn the
dividends paid during the year. The
deficit was created very largely in
the last quarter of the year. the
deficit for the first nine months being
$49.6s2.06 and for the last three
months of the year s126,T73.52.
though these figures are subject to
revision upon final audit of the &C
counts of the year"
This Situation was brought about
by an increase in operating expenses
which were out of line with gross in
come. Mr.. Ham said: "Our gross
earnings from all sources for the year
1918 have increased s1,TS9, 49S.45,
compared with an average condition
for the three years Immediately pre-
ceding the war. Operating expenses,

 Tt is true that there is, in the pre- amble, reference to understandings of international law but it contains no pledge to observe the law or to adopt it as a judicial rule, or to accept it other wise than as subject of separate under standings.

HILL CRITICIZES LEAGUE COVENANT
 AT BAR MEETING
By Associated Press

Boston, September 3.-Criticism of the
 league of nations covenant as lacking
 definite pledge that the nations will up-
 hold international law was made by Dr.
 David Jayne Hill, former ambassador to
 Germany, in an address before the Amer
 ican bar association tonight. Speaking
 on "The Nations and the Law" Dr. Hill
 said:
 The Fundamental issue of world order
 is not the possibility of forming union
 of powers strong enough to impose it's
 will upon other states, but the question
 of whether the powers entering into
 such a combination are disposed to bind
 themselves to the observance of definite
 legal principles, irrespective of their
 commercial interests and military
 strength We must repulate, as incon-
 sistent with the nature of a truly con-
 stitutional state, any form of interna-
 tional association that does not assume
 as it's first postulate the authority of in- ternational law over all nations.
 "It would De an errol to suppose that imperialism is essentially dynastic. It's present phase is that of race domination and economic control. Imperialism is not so much a form of government as It IS a lust for power.
 "The greatest danger to the peace of the world today is the menace of social ized state, which is based on a crassly materialistic philosophy and if generally realized would transform whole nations into industrial and commercial corpora tions claiming absolute sovereign author ity, pitted against one another in rivalry to possesses the wealth of the world. ''The object of our participation in the great war as a belligerent nation was the
 preservation of the rights of our fellow citizens secured to them under inter- national law. No other official reason for engaging in the war has ever been given We turn then with more than historical interest to inquire what have been the fortunes of international law in the settlements of peace.
 We discover to our dsappointm. mt that the league of nations which we a told is to be the instrument for the IT. [ - tenance of peace, contains no declara- tion that the sovereign states as such possess any rights whatever. We find in it no provision of law by which the conduct toward one another may be judged no promise of court before which their wrongs may be brought and their legal rights judicially determined; no method by which weak state may

INFLUENZA AND WAR LOSS

The influenza epidemic which began in the fall of 1918. is estimated to have cost the legal reserve life insurance companies about S100, ,Go0,000.
 An estimate of the amount the gov ernment Bureau of War Risk Insurance will have to pay on account of influenza deaths is SI50.0o0, 900.
 The rate of mortality the life insur- ance companies had to meet in 1918 was about S2 per cent greater than 1917 and II per cent greater than the aVera ge death rate for a score of years. This great advance was due mainly to the in- .fluenZa epidemic, the ravages by which continued during several months of the current year Thirty-eight life insur- ance companies reporting to the New York insurance department were called upon to pay for death claims and endow- ments about $a3, ,000000 more than in 1917 The increase in death losses paid by legal reserve companies was approximately s1 .22s3S, ,000, 600 in the United States and Can ada-mainly due to the influenza, on lives under age 50. To meet the exceptional mortality the surplus funds of legal re- serve companies as they stood at the end of 1917 were depleted more than $37. GOO coo Normally the increase of surplus should have been about S4000O,000, indicating a direct draft on surplus of about ST 900, ,OoO. owing to the abnormal mortality.
 An inquiry conducted by the Connecti- cut insurance department indicates that var claims, meaning all deaths suffered by men in the service not including influenza. was equivalent to about a 6 per cent increase on normal mortality Reports received by the Insurance Press confirm this figure. On that basis the war losses by life insurance companies of the United States in 1918 amounted to about s2sOOO,0OO.
 War mortality, which did not cease with the close of hostilties, will continue, in decreasing proportion, for perhaps from five to ten years. Wounds received diseases contracted, effects of poison gas, shell shock, etc, will result in many lives becoming impaired
