Ahswer-We would classify your
nonds as business mans semi-speeu-
latlve investment or with some of them
a business mans speculation, rather
than business mans investment.
Seaboard Air Line first and consoli-
dated mortgage IS are due 1945, and
are not even, in our opinion, an at
tractive speculation. Iowa Central Ar
are due 1851, Minneapolis & St. Louis
iirst and refUnding as are due 1s49.
Missouri, Kansas & Texas general
4 II are due 1898. The road is in re-
ceivership and plans for reorganizs-
ton through the foreclosure of the
second mortgages have been nearly
completed, The general mortgage un-
der which the 4las are secured Is the
Junior to tho second mortgage, and the
chances arc that the reorga nization
plan VIII provide for non-fixed interest
oeralng securities to be exchanged
for the S1as. Eris has a number of

is are due 1896. The general A CON
vert'ble 4s are due 1863, tho general
d convertible IS are duo 1853. and the
general convertible As are due 1868.
we think they are ar attractive semi
speculative business mans investment
St. Louis~San Francisco cumulative
adjustment A IS are due 1855. They
are a business mans semi-speculative
investment. The reason that we put
Shese bonds IN the class we do is that
al al OF the roads are weak railroads.
Ihey are the class of roads that the
transportation act was intended 10
help, but has not yet succeeded in do
ing go to any great extent. Railroad
earnings for July will probably show
a considerable Improvement. and the
last six months of 1921 may show
further improvement. For this rea-
son the weak road bonds offer rather
attractive speculative feature.

While our army has two Gen
erals, two Lieutenant-Generals and
about 400 Maj ajor-Gener"ls. BrigaGier-
Generals and Colonels, the line, ac-
cording to the Army and Nary Jour
nal. had on March % only one Second
Lieutenant.
1t Is explained that pf pfomotions have
been so rapid thar the ranks Of the
Second Lieutenants have been ex-
hausted except for the single .fiicer
Of the lowest commissioned rank. We
suspect that this individual has been
kept where he is merely to prevent
the second lieutcnancy from becoming
like the aux and the dt do.
The unknown hcro may be delayed
in promotion, but think of the distinc-
tion that is his! His descendants
can have his porr7it hung in the
great hall and poiIt 1t out to visitors
with the proud remark that in the
spring Of 1921 this ancestor was the
only Second Lieutenant in the United
States Army.
