Hold the EIaq Sacred.

The rills of resolution that recently
have inspired earnest and impressive
but locally scattered manifestations
of disapproval for demonstrations OF
disloyalty or erroneous concepts OF
civic obligation are gathered into one
mighty stream. The symbolism OF
the flag, of which the disloyal prove
the correctness by their acts of desc,
Grafton, was never more clear and
luminous than on this fourteenth day
Of June in this tremendous year OF
history, 1919.

HOW SAILORS clay GHOSTS"
Men Of the Sea Give Short shrift to
Matter-of-Fact Spooks That

The first lieutenant had just been
relieved, writes II. S. T. in the Lon
don Mail, and was vending his way
from the d~estroyer's bridge to his
cabin. 1t was fairly calm, but very
dark, and there was little to be seen
but a line of waves on each side and
the dim form of a second destroyer

weary middle watch and bed was his
only interest. But he did notice q
weird figure, apparently human,
crawling about zeal the 'sbandstand'
of the after gun.
He went to investigate and found
the surgeon probationer, clad in a
chamois leather overall suit. in which
he had been sleeping on the ward
room couch below-for every one
must sleep more OF less clad, ready to
turn out at a moments notice. He
was feeling about in the dark, APP
parently in search of something.

Doc?" he asked, and got The brief an
swer, Laying a ghost" The first
lieutenant grunted and disappeared
below, leaving the doctor to insert a
paper wedge between a loose rafting
shell and the side of the stand in
which it was placed.
A ghost, in naval language, is a
noise which cannot be accounted for.
In a destroyer one becomes a con-
noisseur in noises.
The steering gear clanks heavily at
intervals and the rhythmic beat Of the
engines is always there, changing only
when the speed is altered. In heavy
weather the washing and beating Of
the water makes a hundred noises.
But ghosts are extra noises and

Girl of Mystery!
House of Mystery!

Synopsis.-Thomas K. Barnes,
a wealthy New Yorker on a
walking trip in New England, is
threatened by a mountain storm.
At dusk at a lonely crossroads,
miles from Harris tavern, where
he intends to pass the night, he
meets a girl in a similar plight,
bound for a dwelling house
called Green Fancy. Along
comes an automobile for the
girl. She gives him a lift to his
tavern. There he falls in with
a stranded troupe Of barn
storming" actors, of which Lyn-
don Rushcroft is the star and
"Miss Thackeray" thes leading
woman. The theatrical people
are doing hotel work for their
board.

or ill-fitting article or a loose screw
may cause the noise, and with the
ships vibration it will knock or rattle
with a regular persistency that will
drive the most placid mind nearly to
frenzy, and sleep will rarely be the
victims portion until he has left his
warm bunk and found the cause of
the trouble and the ghost is laid.

On History's crimson age high upon

amid the roar OF guns,
It's lullabies were battle-cries-the shouts

It is the old Red, White and Blue, proud
emblem of the free,
It is the flag that floats about our land
of liberty;
Then greet it when you meet 1t, boys. the
flag that waves on high.

dom's flag goes by!
Uncover when the flag goes by, boys.

Long may it wave, Old Glory,
The flag that has never known defeat!
All honor to the Star and Stripes, our
glory and our pride,
All honor to the flag for which our
fathers fought and died:
On many a blood-stained battle field, on
many a CORY sea,
Its stars ave acknowledgements trt-
umphant may they be;
And If again mid shot and shell its folds
must be unfurled,
GOD grant that we may keep IL still
unstained before the world;
All hail the flag we love! May 1t victori-
GUS ever fly,
And hats off all along the line hen

Corn Products.

Corn Products, in spite OF many con-
ficting reports about the immediate flu
ture OF the company. was one OF the
strongest spots on the list yesterday.
Ono house with large wire connections
early In the day sent out a wire to its
customers advising them 70 take profits.
That recommendation was not accompa =
MED by any bear statements. but simply
that the stock had had constdera BILE
rise and that It had discounted pretty
nearly everything which was supposed TO
have been In back OF the sharp rise in
the market in the last few days. On the
other hand, another house which has
heen credited with being one OF the
largest buyers OF the stocks was re-
ported as being further buyer yester-
day, In all of the confusion the stock
held well throughout the day and closed
with fractional net gain after having
advanced at one time to within a frac-
tion of 55.

though the inquiries have not developed
into any actual offers, as yet. France
Is said TO be in the market for a large
quantity and a Pittsburg despatch yes
terday reported an inquiry there re-
ceived by the equipment companies for
some sS0,000,000 worth OF locomotives

authenticity ~ the inquiry by local equip
ment men. England is reported to be in

street railway extensions. Some OF the
inquiries, at least. should lead to orders.

steeI's Forthcomins Report.

Tho annual report OF tho United States
Steel Corporation, II Is Understood. has
been practically completed and will b
given out for publication on Monday.
The company will make a strong show
ing. its earnings. according to the quar-
teriy reports for 1918, being equivalent
to about $23 share after all taxes
against s4s In 1917. The discrepancy
will be due largely to the heavy reserve
made necessary to take care of increa sed
taxation. But the real point Of interest
In the report, aside from the disclosure
OF the volume OF gross business turned
over during the year. will be the
amount OF working capital on hand. This
has been variously estimated and the
figure which seems to be generally
agreed upon is about $3.50. 900. 600. II
this Is borne out in the report 1t will
mean that the company has more work
ing capital than the value OF It's common
stock outsta nding. which is S50s. 900, 900.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Prices closed heavy in an active mar

Final quotations we're about the lowest
for the session and represented losses
from a fraction to about three points
in the leading issues. Selling pressure
in heavy volume developed in mid
afternoon after the market had rallied
slightly and continued to the close.
While the selling conferred chiefly In
the industrials and emphasized the
standard issues in that group. II ex-
tended also to the rails, all OF which
sold lower. with Union and Southern
Pacific bearing the brunt of the attack.
The pressure in the leading industrials

chase was OF $4,000. 900. It has been
reported that on the day the peg was
removed the Morgan firm was a heavy

BOlSHEWK|

LONDON, Dec. 30. = The Boil
shevik government in Russia is de-
scribed by a man who recently re-
turned from that country as "a
carpet-bag government of the most
fragrant sort"
theoretically, he says, the Boil
shevik government is popular and
supposed to represent the will of
the working masses throughout
Russia. In practice local soviets
have been bowled over whenever
they failed to satisfy Moscow Off
Gals, and outsiders have been plac-
ed in control.
A large proportion of the trav-
cling commissioners who go about
Russia on armored trains to keep
the local soviets in line are de-
clared to be agitators from New
York and London.
The government is described as
analogous to such rule as might
be imagined to originate with
workmen of New York and Chica-
go. Carrying out the analogy,
such a government would recognize
the political rights of nobody but
workmen in New Orleans and San
Francisco. 1t would overthrow by
arms any government in Seattle
or San Antonio which did not re-
fleet it's views and would deny the
ballot to all persons possessed of
property.
Under such a government New
York and Chicago politicians would
be sent with armed trains to over
throw soviets in st. Louis and De-
troit which failed to obey the man
date of the central governing
board. Dakota wheat farmers

his death has not been officially
stated, but it has been reported
that he had been summoned to the

criticized by General Ludendori
for opposing plans of the military
party and that Balm then appeal

In discussing the riots in Posen,
