been one OF many severe trials. The
delicate. though strong and perfect.
financial machine responded through
the many up and down swings with
regularity as perfect as the ebb
and flow OF the tides.
During the first days Of the year
the country was regaining conf
dence. We were encouraged by the
action OF the president during the
closing days Of the previous year, in
taking possession of the railroads.
The presidential proclamation came
at an opportune moment. 1t was
not only a useful and an essential
war measure. but saved many roads
from a condition that threatened
bankruptcy. On all sides there was
evidence of renewed hope. and after
many months of constant liquida-
ton. securities were again being
purchased as investments. on the
European battle field there was no
important action by either side,
though we were at this time deeply
