under way for caring for as many chill dren as during the dark days of last winter.
 This decision came after receipt in London of reports of complete sur vey of the country begun immediately after the bolsheviki were driven back. Trained observers report that the Poles themselves have not painted the picture black enough. After two armies had fought over the ground there was lit tie left for the children, they report. ahd each requested immediate shipment of food and clothing. As far as possi- ble, distributing agents of the admin = istration are complying with these re- quests.
 The organizatio nby which about sl9. 100000 worth of food and clothing was distributed in Poland in 16 months at a cost of approximately $80,000, is vir- tually intact. It includes between IS, = 900 and 1S,000 Poles whose services are paid for by Poland, but who worked under the direction of few American administrative officers. The Poles also pay for transportation from the ships, warehousing and distributions In addi- tion they supply all flour received by them through a $200.0O0 credit granted them by the Grain corporation.
 Although the distribution organiza- ton was considerably disarranged dur ing the recent fighting, officials here say they can get into working order again very quickly after railroad re- pairs have been completed.

NASEN'S DASH
Famous Explorer Working for Re- patriation of Prisoners of War;
By FLETCHER ALLEN

l London November 1.--(Reciprocai News Service )-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen is I working under terrific pressure on his 1 task of repatriating the remaining hais l million prisoners of WAT. Two years ! have elapsed since the armistice brought a cessation of hostilities, and yet I throughout Europe there are 5H,000 soi- diers who have been held, if not in ar- l tual captivity, at least in unwilling eS- l ile. Dr. Nansen has undertaken the work of restoring them to their homes. and the League of Nations has accepted the responsibility of raising the neces- sary funds and transportation.
 Winter, a black and dangerous winter for Europe. Is coming on rapidly. There is already severe coal shortage. Unrest and distress in Europe, with stalking famine and hurrying frost. bring com plications impossible of comprehension by those away from the spot.
 Dr. Nansen. who appreciates the in- pending disaster perhaps more thorough ly than most people. is a harassed man at present, and is convinced that unless every nation bends earnestly to it's own
 share of the great task, thousands of
 men who have endured suffering pass
 ing human understanding during the last
 few years will die during the winter. To
 see the prisoners now being repatriatch
 is to feel the force of Dr. Nansens ap- prehension. They come out of their lonS

 The funds subscribed by the various governments and paid in to the fund of

In early May there were over 2oo,- 900 Russian prisoners in Germany, and a similar number of central European prisoners in Russia, Siberia and Turkes- tan These were mostly Hungaria.s,
 Austrians, Czechs, Rumanians, Poles and

 effort was made, however, in their in-

 went ahead at the rate of between 1600O

 The League sof Nations naturally was
 hampered greatly by the condition of the
 government in various countries, having
 to negotiate with the soviet, near siviet,
 ex-enemy and disorganized states and not infrequently the very absence of government made the work practically impossible The work is not finished. The winter presses on, and the routes will soon be closed pr. Nansen begins to be anxious again, feeling that though there are inl- mense difficulties in the way of obtaln- ing the necessary shipping and funds, and in the diplomatic negotiations with transitory governments, it is the simple debt of the world, but a tremendous op- ligation by reason of it's simplicity, to these 5o0o00 prisoners, suffering under terrible circumstances. to return them to their homes and to a chance at least of life again in better surroundings.

 If there were to be overwhelming

 ANOTHER MELON Elbridge G. Snow as president of prob ably the largest fire insurance company ! in the United tSates, has again demon
 Eeratad his extraordinary ability for. skilitul managing of a business of this
 kind. For it is probably due to his
 advice that the directors of the Home Insurance com pany now reconarnended to the shareholders that the capital stock De increased from six millions to twelve millions. The new shares are to be of- Tered stockholders of record at slsO. - snare In this way $3.0O0,0o0 will be added to the already large surplus of the company.
 AS the shares of this con1pany have , been quoted at about 570, the increase of stock for which shareholders will pay s1S0 share means that a melon is to be Sliced, each slice representing sao0 profit. But the cutting of melon in these days has not the same value which went with a transaction of that kind before our war taxes were enacted. To- day the cutting of a melon means ad- ding considerable amount on negotis- bie paper to a shareholders supply. but 1t also means that the shareholder will not be disposed to sell the new shares because if he does the strong arm Of the government tax collector will be ex- tended so as to grasp very large per centage of the profits
 The relation between labor and capita | has been subject to which President Snow has given earnest consideration He believes that employees are entitled to larger share Of the corporations py which they are employed than most of them receive, believing that if the em- ployes were in this way recognized much
 of the friction between capital and labor would be ended. At his suggestion the
 directors of the company of which lie
 is president decided to adopt new
 policy. It is not called profit-sharing.
 but by another name. It is spoken of
 as dividend paying for this company
 now sets apart from it's net profits 90
 per cent which are to be paid to the employees upon graduated scale. This
 will be in addition to their salaries or commissions. The other 50 per cent Is
 paid to the stockholders in the form of dividends President Snow calls this dividend paying policy and not a profit sharing one, although in princiole the two methods are similar.

Weekly Cotton Review

 New York, November 14.-While there were substantial advances in the price of cotton in the early sessions Of last week, the trend was strongly lower la ter and on the closing session prices of most months in the contract department were at new low levels for the season.

 The selling of the week was due lnain- ly to the constant flow of pessimstic talk from other markets to unsatisfac- tory world financial conditions, the clos ing down or going on short time of many cotton mills, and the lower trend of prices of finished goods. On the closing session the market was unfavorably af- fected by the census bureau report on American mills for October, which placed consumption at 399,S37 bales, against 457,- a47 in September, and 556.041 in October of last year, UptuTns of the week were mainly due to covering of the short in- terest. | Infavorable weather, too, at times, was hardly more than 2 steadying influence, although it was generally ac- hnowledged that bad weather had worked further serious injury to the grade of cotton open in the fields. The freezing weather over the belt at the end of the week was regarded as definitely marking the close of the season.
 This week it is likely that a little more attention will be paid to the technical position the market is drifting into as the result of the long continued and heavy selling for short account and the great volume of liquidation on the long side Reports from the interior regarding the effect of weather conditions on cotton still left in the field will be watched closely and evidence of abandonment of fields would probably cause nervousness among shorts.

Engines With Smaller Proportions of
 Iron and Steel Give Best Results

London, November 1--Reciprocaf News Service)-A significant hint was thrown out by the chairman of the Ln- stitute of Metals at this years conven- tion of that body. He pointed out that while the internal combustion engines used to drive merchant ships contained only 3 per cent of metals other than steel, the driving equipment of the latest Brit, ish submarines (oi, engines, steam tuf- pines and electrical machinery conn hined). showed proportion as high as 37 per cent.

 This Winter
By Associated Press

London, October 23.-One of the aftermaths of the Pouish- soviet war is that Americans will be called upon to feed and clothe more than 1,e5o, 900 Pol ish children this winter through the American relief administration. Up to the time of the latest outbreak of hos tilities, destitution had been so reduced that the relief administration officials believed that Poland, witl. the organi- zation the Americans had perfected, would be able to carry on the work after this autumn. That is considered impossible now and preparations are

New York, November 1L-(SDecia1.) ) J, P. Morgan and company offered a few days ago for sale the balance of the per cent preferred stock of the Standard oil company of New Jersey, this balance representing the amount of stock in the hands of the syndicate over and above that which was subscribed for Probably this offering was nothing more than q forn1ality This balance which in the aggregate was for a large amount wRs speedily sold and the syndicate which underwrote the offering of the Standard Oil company was dissolved.
 This might be considered an unin- poftant, almost purely local financial incident But it may be taken as a text upon which may be based considerations which will be of value to business, offer ing encouragement in these days which are characterized by some business de- preSsion.
 It is a conspicuous example of the fact that while retail and wholesale business and manufacturing plants are now pass- ing through a period of more or less de- pression, nevertheless fundamentally the conditions are healthful and justify the belief that this business depression is to be but brief. Fog within few days many very large financial transactions in addition to the one with which J. P. Morgan was identified as syndicate leader have been perfected These transactions are not confined to New York City. From Chicago comes announcement that financial syndicates in that city under wrote last week twenty millions of the notes of a leather corporation and an ether syndicate underwrote some ten mill lions of tho notes of the Kansas City Power and Light company.
 So also in New y ork q syndicate which pnderwrote an issue of four million five hundred thousand of ten years, per cent god debentures issued by one of the largest oil companies was gratified by the immediate heavy over subscrip- rion which followed the offering of these

IF THERE WERE
 DANGER OF PANIC

IF there were any danger of panic or of such business depression as would be followed by bankruptcies in all parts of the country, 1t would not be possible to report that the financers and the syndi- cate not only undertook to market many issues of bonds and notes, but also to report that these offerings were over subscribed almost as soon as they were made.
 Furthermore, T would be useless at this time to organize a foreign trade financing corporation with q capital of q hundred milions CT less unless funda- mental conditions were sound and unless it was made esident that By financial aid of this kind our international trade will be maintained or increased. Then again something like hundred and sixty mill lions in credits and loans have been made by banks and individuals in the United States recently to foreign nations and municipalities. Almost all of these are European nations The Scandinavian peninsula received forty-five millions, Denmark twenty-five millions, Ccpen- hagen fifteen millions.
