PARIS, Jan. 2.-Marshal Foch be-
licvcs the victory in the world war
was due to divine inspiration. accord
ing to his own statement. printed in
the Echo de Paris.
"I do not call IL a miracle" says
.Foch. "but in a supreme moment clear

formidable war ] believe / had such
vision in the battles OF the Marne. on

victorious decision came from the SUI

Marshal Foch told the interviewer
that ever since, at the age of seven
teen, he saw the Germans In Metz, he
was resolved upon revenge. He con
tinued:
when a man of ordinary capacity
concentrates all his faculties and en-
crgies upon a single aim he Is bound
to attain it, i won the war because
was determined to do so. and also
because l never got excited, never

Floating Supply Small

The natural inference drawn from
the sudden accession of strength in
Baldwin brought revival of rumors
that the management plans to capitalize
its war-swollen assets and distribute
the stock in the form Of a special divi-
dend. Wall Street has heard off and
on for year or more that a capital
readjustment of some sort was to take
place and such reports have been made
the basis for several big moves in the
stock. Those who insist that the pres
ent rise in Baldwin is due entirely 10
the manipulations Of strong specu-
lative group whose efforts have been
made easier by the apparently large
short interest in the stock point to
the denials made on various occasions
by Baldwin officials of any readjust-
ment plan. President Vauclain is on
the Atlantic bound for Europe, but the
last time he was interviewed at Phila-
delphia on Baldwin affairs he. was en-
phatic in his statement that the
management had no plan for a "melon
cutting" Mr.. Vauclain has taken the
stand time and time again that it was
best for the company to use its large
surplus for purposes of expansion. OBJ
servers who have been keeping close
tabs on the market position Of Baldwin

is so small as to make it easily

Gold Possibilities

Regarding the dramatic report that
between s25,0O0,000 and $35 200 900 of
British gold was being carried to Hall
fax on warships, international bankers
were incredulous. At the Offices of ].
r. Morgan & Co., who are fiscal agents
for the British treasury, it was said
that there was to their knowledge NOT
the slightest vestige of truth in the
report. Bankers still believe. however.
that some gold will be sent to. this
country in anticipation of the Anglo
French maturity-as much as the two
debtor governments find necessary.
Moreover, it is considered not unlikely
that Great Britain will accumulate a
supply of gold, as she did during the
early, part of the war, at Ottawa,
Canada, and ship it from there to New
York as needed. Under this plan. while
IN Canada, the gold could be included
IN the reserves of the Bank of England.
IN IN some quarters shipment of god to
New York from London in payment for
american a gold shipped to Argentina for
British account is anticipated. More
than $1O,00o,000 of gold is being shipped
this week from here to Argentina in
setelement OF international balances.

Public Service of N. 7.
Declares Dividends
McCarter Says Electric and Gas
Companies Are shaking
Satisfactory Earnings"

Directors of the Public Service Cor
poration of New Jersey yesterday de-
clared quarterly dividends of l per
cent on the common and per cent on
the preferred stocks No action was
taken on the common dividend due for
the last December quarter.
In statement to stockholders
Thomas N. McCarter, president, said:
The electric company and the gas
company are now functioning properly
and making satisfactory earnings. The
railway company has been allowed a
rate sufficient to keep going; that is,
to enable 1T to pay its operating ex-
penses and fixed charges. The rate
does not provide sufficient revenue to
yield substantial return upon the in
vestment OF the corporation in the
railway company's stock. This situa-
ton, 1T is expected, will be cured dur
ing the next few months.
The railway company has suffered
from excessive operating expenses
caused by abnormal weather conditions
The early months of the year are rel
atlvely lean months in the public util-
lty business, the profits being made in
the latter part of the year. The show
ing, however, Of the corporation as
whole for so much Of the year as has
elapsed is so satisfactory and the
estimate OF the earnings for the wear
so promising that the directors felt
justified in declaring the dividends
The pending quarter will be only the
second time in the history of the cor
poration that dividend declared ~
THIS season of the year will have been
earned IN the quarter to which tho
dividend is applicable"
