STOCK LETTER

It is probable that the market to- day will completely justify the very conservative position taken in this first message yesterday morning.
 The steel dividend will probably make for further liquidation. The point one should not forget as to steel is that the current quarter will show smaller net results than the one ending March 31st. It is unlike ly, however, that the policy of the directors will be to further reduce the dividend, for the question will be a line dividend between a great book value described in our regular let ter of this morning and g. nporary curtailTnen ent Of income.
 The long future promises a high CT price; the near future, the reflec- tiOn of q disappointed speculative fraternity. It is d time in which one ought to make haste slowly and to look before he leaps.

SHOT 'TIGER';TO

Emile Coffin, WOuld-be Assassin Of
Premier C.emenceau is Sem
fenced TO Death.

Paris. March 15.-Emile Coffin.
who recently made an attempt upon
the life of Premier Georges Clemen-
ceau. has been sentenced to death
by the court martial which was try
ing him. The verdict of the court
martial was unanimous.
Cotton first conceived the idea OF
shooting me premier in May, 1918,
according L. an official record read
at the court martial. In May, 1918,
the employees of aviation factories
were on strike, Coffin practiced
shooting after that, it was said.
When the court martial opened
the clerk read the report describing
the attempt on the premier. The
report showed that Coffin fred
twice without moving and then
fired five times while running be-
hind the automobile, to which he
was so close that one witness be-
lieved he had jumped on the rear or
the car.
1t was shown that Coffin aimed
at the seat in which Premier Glenn
anceau was sitting and fired so &C
curately that two bullets almost
touched it.
Rarely has a crime" says the re-
port, been accomplished with more
sustained generalization. more ma
ture design, and more implacable
tenacity. with certainty of method
which it seemed would infallibly
lead to a fatal result
Coffin is described as primitive,
vain, and cOnceited and believing
himself omniscient." He was able
to earn a good living. but finding
society badly organized" was de-
sirous of destroying everything
The expert medical report Unre-
servedly held Coffin responsible
for his actions.

A self-prcpeIling projectile charg-

perfected by the naval experts only
a short time before the armistice
was signed. 1t is believed to have
strengthened materially the power
and effectiveness of the British
fleet The projectile can be dis
charged without concussion from
small boats or light platform, eX-
ploding on the contact, or when fit-

London-One of the most sue
cessful devices invented by British
naval experts in the war time was
one known as a blister" and serv-
ed to protect ships against tor
pedoes. 1t is an outer steel casing
fitted to the sides of ships. All of
its technical details of construc-
ton have not been revealed, but
naval experts assert that ships
equipped with blisters run no
greater risk from underSea attacks
than from surface fighting dangers.
In the war the Germans tOrpedoed
several blister ships. but in every
case, It is asserted, the vessels
were able to reach port and be re-
paired.
Sir f. H. T. D'Eyncourt. director
of naval construction. invented the
blister, which was first attached to
four old cruisers. Patiently the
navy waited for test for two years :;
then. in June. 1917, the cruiser
Grafton while steaming at 10 knots
was struck amidships by a torpedo
fired from a German submarine
only 80 yards distant. The blister,
which stuck out from the cruisers
side bout Is feet. exploded the tor
pedo. and the Grafton steamed back
to port with only a slight list
improvements were made on the
blisters and they were fitted to the
sister monitors Erebus and Terror
Both these vessels. mounting 10
inch guns, bombarded the Belgian
coast for months Both were tor
pedoed within a week and but for
the protecting blisters they would
have been sunk. Three torpedoes
struck the Erebus, two hitting the
fore part of the monitor where the

New York.-The [. s. navy hopes

Now every effort is being made
