The Worlds Markets
Weekly Financial Review

New York, July 27.-The novehent of of it's recent momentum and price changes were frequently irregular under pressure, although steady to firm in the popular leaders.
 Reduction of operations was attributed to the customary midsummer apathy rather than to any pause in the general grade.
 AsiJe from the labor situation, con ditions in the steel industry continued to move steadily forward. This was strongly indicated by the statement of an accepted authority that new orders were much in excess of current production.
 Among international banking interests a more hopeful feeling was created by the passing of the crisis in foreign eX change, although rates on London and the principal European centres were con- s.dered sufficiently unfavorable to menace this country's overseas trade. In the many CeN elopments of the week little attention vas paid to advices from Washington hich accompanied the new high record of exports for the last fiscal year. Ac- cording to official compilations. efforts exceed any previous year by more than | 7,000, GOO GOO. One of the most significant events l since the signing of the armistice was | contained in the announcement by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey of | thf doubling of it's capital, primarily for | the enlargement of it's export business. 1 The circumstances attending this under | taking are unique in the history of. this organ izaton and offer more than sug- gestion of the extent of other financial l projects now in various stages of negoti-

Weekly Metal Review

New York, July H.-The steel market last week experienced several slight ad- vances. The wire products were increased about 8 a ton by independent producers and steel bars were advanced 5c a hun dred pounds by one independent. The leading interests, however, continued to quote prices which correspond with the levels adopted by the industrial board and the scale was firm at established prices.
 Mill operations were materially higher than a week ago and everywhere orders were reported increasing. Iron prices con tinued firmer and iron bars and cast iron pipes were marked up slightly by some interests. Pig iron orders were re- ported in steady volume and the output was said be at increased rates com pared with those recorded in June.

Wonderful Progress

The world is making wonderful pro- gress in many ways. says the Industrial Index, and the airship is one of the most striking of the evidences of progress. It has not been so many years ago that if the average man had seen an automobile coming along the road he would have been liable to have taken to the woods. Now the automobile is an old story, so to speak, and the development of the air ship has the center Of the stage
 A company was organized in Birming- ham, Ala, few weeks ago to construct airships, convey people in them, and teich people how to operate them. Now comes Miami, Fla, with an airship show room. where the flying machines will be placed on sale The Metropolis of Miami says of it:
 'Miamis first airplane show room will be opened soon at the corner of Avenue D and Twelfth street in the Tatum WaA- lace building by the Davis Motor Sales Company, which will also display the the Davis automobile. Douglas Manning, formerly a first lieutenant at the Curtiss marine aviation field in charge of fly ing, is the general manager for Florida, for the Davis Motor Sales Company which concern has the agency for the I Areoplane company.
 "The Davis Company will in the near future place in commission Rich ardson airplane for use between Jaskson- vile and other Florida cities as ser vice machine.
 Two airplanes have already been bought by Miami business men.
 "The Rishardson Aeroplane company loaned it's patents to the United States government and they were used on the seaplanes entered in the transatlantic flights of the navy. The consul of Ecua- dor has just biased an order for 9 Rich ardson planes for the government of Ecuador, these will be used in carrying mail between Panama and Ecuador.

making researches and devoting them selves to study in the hope that some method may be invented by which gasoline can be produced by the syn thetic process. Dr. Peter Cooper Heutt himself one of the leading men of science speaking the other day of gaso- line said that he was confident that no substitute for it could be prodced that would command the market be- cause, as he said, what can be cheaper than hydrogen and carbon, and out of these two elements comes gasoline" Dr. E. c. Acheson in speaking of gaso- line production and the enormous de- mand of the world for it suggested the other day that the chemist and men of science might discover and invent a process of manufacturing gasoline by the synthetic method. MT A. C. Bed- ford chairman of the board of direct ors of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey was asked whether in his opinion it would be possible to make gasoiine by the synthetic union of car bon and hydrogen. He didn't care to answer yes or no,' but he did say that science would point the way by which gasoline could be manufactured by the synthetic process.

SCIENCE AND GASOLINE

The astonishing figures which refer
 to the oil industry of the Unitea States
 which were contained in an article
 by William Van Antwerp who is of high expert authority published in the
 Wall Street Journal appear to justify
 his assertion that the oil industry is
 now both in it's financial aspect and in its industrial relations the leading industry in the United States.
 Among other things Mir. Van Ant werp states that the world vlemand for gasoline will, if it can be met, result in enormous increase in that product which will entail the discovery of new oil fields of a kind especially adapted for the production of gasoline Yet thirty years ago gasoline was regarded as a nuisance by oil refiners and the managers of one of the greatest re- fineries on Long Island were accus-
 toned secretely to rid themselves of
 this nuisance by emptying the gaso-
 line by night into the East river.
 However it is fair inference that some of the men of science are now

Saving the Indian

From lHt hSNitWs
 The world clash of arms which has saved some of the racial minorities Of Europe from extinction by the oppression of megalomaniac imperialism has put out Of view the silent but dramatic strug- gle here at home to preserve from eX- tinction by the even more ruthless pow CTS of disease our own most appealing racial remnant the American Indian. The few thousands of glorious tradition that remained on the various govern nent reservations have for years de- spite the best efforts of government eX- rerts been dying at a far greater rate than they increased, although whole they have been economically prosperout and well cared for They seemed clearly a dying race, pining away amid new con- d!tions, without hope or future in land that knew them not. But after Sus- tained and intense battle of years, whose dramatic strategy lies buried forever in government reports, the latent vitalities O. the ragged band were somehow reused to new life, and diseases difficult to cope with overcome. In 1916 Cato Sells, the commissioner of Indian affairs, was able to announce that, for the first time since they came to know their white brothers, sthe birth rate of the Indians in the .Cnited States exceeded the death rate. And as further voucher that the Ameri- can Indian has taken a new lease of life zaAr Sells recently said that of the 10000 Indians in the war, 75 per cent had vol unteered, and that the Indians in the country had bought over s25, ,003, 900 in Liberty Bonds. more than s7o per capita.

New Orleans July o7.-The net changes in the cotton contracts fast week were l declines of 45 to 77 points, Spots were not unchanged. While trading was brisk on most sessions of the week, the main in fluences about balanced one another ana moreover, the market had tendency to react after bulges, which led to the claim on the short side that it was tech nically unsound.
 The weakness of foreign exchange, the marine strike in this country and the coal miners and dock strikes in England ana better crop outlook in the western belt especially in Texas were the maln reasons for selling pressure.
 Buyers operated on the rains in the eastern belt which were called serious in private reports, the continued late ness of the crop and, late in the week OF the better feeling in the foreign ex- change market and expectations or large export movement this week as the result of the clearing up of marine lapor 1 troubles In some quarters it is estimated that there are weel over 200,0)0 bales of l cotton on shipboard at all United States rorts awaiting clearance and some pre- 1 dictions were that the exports this week

CLAIM MACMILLAN GAVE FAKE NEWS Developments Show Former Emperor Has Never Re-
 nOunced Throne
By Associated Press

Berlin, July 2T.-This mornings
 Pan-6erman newspapers of Berlin
 make a feature of n five-column
 expose of occurrences in connec-
 ton with the outbreak of the Ger
 man revolution last November, in-
 cluding n struggle taking place at
 German great headquarters st Spa
 on November Q. lasting nearly 24
 hours, to induce Emperor William
 to abdicate.
 Material is adduced to show that Prince Maximilian of Baden, then lm- rerial chancellor, finally took the mi tiative and gave to the Wolff Bureau an official statement that the emperor lad abdicated as emperor and king Of Prussia although it is averred he had done neither and has never renounced the throne of Prussia
 Prince MaXimilian, 1t is declared. took this step out of misguided pat riotism in an attempt to subdue the revolutionary movement, which was rapidly getting out of hand. and by hurry him away to Holland The Pan- Germans now charge the former chan cellor with treachery.
 All doubts as to William Hohenzol . lern's abdication as German emperor and king of Prussia were considered to have been settled when Berlin ad- vices on November 80 last told of the Issuance by the new German govern ment of the former emperor's act of renunciation, described as having been henzollern at Amerongen Novemoe

Re-Empl0ying Soldiers
From the Review.

From the ReVleW.
 One of the horrors of war-and by no means the least of them-is the spectacle of the discharged soldier begging his bread. The sort of thing that plagued Europe at the close of the Napoleonic Civil Wars we wert spared after our own Civil War by reason of the enomeous undeveloped resources of the country whose boun- ties were for all who would lay hold of them with energetic hand. Just at the moment we can not afford too confidently to abandon the returned soldier to his economic fate Now that the war assumes something of the as- pect of history. the man who left desk, counter or bench to help make it, stands a bit hesitatingly. his new about unaccustomed shins, as he gazes at the eddying life in which he must again find his place. It is moment at which he may too readily come to taste the bitterness of wondering whether it was all worth while; it is a moment at which he can be nightly comforted by finding that his old place is waiting him if he wants it. His employer was proud to display starry flag with the hope that went forth to do battle for us: he should be even more proud to give welcome to the man who was most worthily his personal representative in the high places of the field. A little thought fulness now will tide us over a situ- ation and prevent it from becoming acute. Presently, it may be confidently hoped business expansion will reach a point at which special considerate- ness of the soldier will no longer be necessary. At the moment he not only deserves but neds it. All employers who have not already done so are asked to communicate their willing ness to help Arthur Woods. assistant to the Secretary of War and receive in return the right to display on the service flag of the firm the shield of the United States.

A MILLIONAIRE POLICEMAN

Following the death a few days ago of the former chief of police of New York, William Dewey, comes announce
 ment of the estimated value of the es- tate which he accumulated The fig
 ures do not agree in all the estimates Some of them put the value of the es- tate as high as seven hundred thousand
 dollars. Others think the estate will
 be found to inventory al not much
 under million dollars. But in any
 event this eccentric and unique figure
 who began life as a policeman and
 who was retired as the head of the de-
 partment, must have accumulated the
 greater part of his fortune while he
 was in the police service. He enriched
 himself and at the same time was,
 as pr. Butler, president of Columbia
 once said, enriching the English vo-
 cabulary by coinine new and pictur
 esque terms some of which have now
 passed into the vernacular.
 Devery understood every detail of
 what use to be called The System"
 and 1t is a curious fact that not with
 standing that some of those who were
 higher up" had amassed large for
 tunes in some unknown way it was
 never found possible to trace the sys tenn or to expose it

But Brynes through some very skillful detective work which he did | protected one of the greatest of our | stock exchange operators, Jay Gould l This was done in such delicate and yet perfect manner as to save Gould i from threatened blackmail, and from l serious annoyance. He thereupon be- | came interested in Brynes and this 1 was not an interest expressed merely in words but instead in acts. He let 1 Byrnes in upon what is called the 1 ground floor upon several occasions | and the chief part of Brynes' fortune l came to him in this way.

The department of agriculture has begun the extensive observation of the volcanoes in the United States and in- sular possessions and has recently taken formal charge of the observatory on Kilauea, Hawaiian Islands. Prof. T. A. Jaggar. Jr., formerly of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology. who has been director of the observatory since its foundation. will remain in charge. The investigations at Kilauea were begun in 1912 under the auspices of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and since 1913 have been main
 tained at the expense of the Hawaiian Research association, consisting chiefly of residents of Honolulu. It is expected that the weather bureaus work in vol canology will be developed in many details and eventually be Nextended to Alaska and other regions under the control of the United States in VI X,
