the course of foreign exchange. We do
not know what foreign exchange will

B. & o. Preferred Has Changed

Question--Do you think Baltimore &

vestment? Has the company always paid
4 per cent dividends on its preferred
tock?-P. r. L.
Answer-Baltimore & Ohio has paid
per cent on it's preferred stock since
prior to 1900. Until recently the stock
has been entitled to a good investment
rating. The railroad situation has
changed to such an extent that the
dividend on Baltimore & Ohio pre-
ferred has not actually been earned
for the last two years, although the
government compensation more than
covered this amount. However, with
increased rates now in effect the road
should show better results. The pre-
ferred stock is not entitled to a high
rating, but perhaps it offers fair specu-
lative investment opportunities.

CHURCH SCHOOL
ADHERES TO
PALMER
Seminary Trustees Adopt
Attorney Generals Plan
Of Repression Of Liberal
or Radical Thought.
By LAURENCE TODD.l


Federated Press Correspondent
General Palmer has won another
great victory in his war against the
Reds ami the "wor.tl-wiIc rcyolu-
ticnaly conspiracy" as he delights
to term the existing social unrest.
His doctrine OF repression has
been adopted by the trustees Of one
OF the famous Episcopal Theological
schools of the coun,ry-fscrkcEcy
Divinity scIlool, at Middictown,
Conn,
A special committee of the trus-
tees of that institution has declared
against the application of too much
Christ spirit to modern life; it had
demanded that the teaching be
brought under control Of the point
of view of the "citizcn of the world"
1t deplorcs, cautiously but firmly,
membership in the Church League
for Industrial Democracy, organized
by Is Episcopal bishops and great
number of lesser clergy and laymcn.
And the Church League for INDUS
trial Democracy is getting ready to
protect Dean Ladd OF Berkeley in
his right to look industrial unrest
square in the face.
Six months ago Il newspaper in
MiddIctown published a sensational
account Of the "radicalism' found
in the divinity school. Willard
Humpllrics, former Y. Nj. c. A.
worker in Siberia, had come there
under Intercollegiate Socialist So
cicty auspices, and had praised the
Bolshcvil1 administration in Russia.
Big business in Connecticut was en-
ragged. DIR. William =. Ladd, dean
of the school, demanded an invcsti-
cation. Judge Gardiner Greene,
vice president of the Dime Savings
bank, and two othcr business men
on the board Of trustees undertook
to make it. They have reported.
DR.. Lndd has issued an answer.
'We cannot control, and we do
not wish to control the individual
ideas OF any of the teachers of the
school," say Judge Greene and his
associates. "They have a right to
be socialists if they wish, but We
cannot for a moment permit any ac'
