SEICHEPREY BATTLE
 1 YEARS AGO TODAY
Anniversary Of Day on Which
 New Britain Boys Were Killed

Today Is the fourth anniversary Q the battle of Scichcprey oommonl known IS the first real test to whicl the American troops were put il France during the late war,
 official story
 The story as told hy the ofncia historian of the activities of the Am crlcan troops in battle, say that thert were l,inn Prussian troops known as the kaiser's own shock troops, whc attacked the front lino position of the American sector in front of Seiche- prey. held at the time by c and D companies of tho l02nd Inf. U. $, The two companies numbered about foo men and in the bloody encounter that onsuod that day, although out numbered over three to one, they held their positions and drove the Germans back with a heavy toll of deaths.
 Fake Attacks
 The morning dawned with an extra ordinarily heavy mist covering the ground, The night before, there had I cen two false alarms of an attack and the American artillery had openl ed up on the German positions with the full force of their batteries. When the time came for the real attack, their ammunition was low, and a short time after the battle began, the cannoneers were forced to silence their guns and fight with their rifles and hayonets.
 The attack came immediately after q heavy barrage from the enemy. Aided by the misty atmosphere, the Prussians gained the first line. There they were met by the 3taunch little body of Americans, and were stopped,
 Majors Hold Positions
 The official recount of the battle in it's terseness, mentions the terceness of the attack and the courageous de- fence. It comments the stand of Major Rau and Major Thompson 10th of Hartford who gathered to- sether the shattered remnants of the .wo companies and entrenched them jne in the Remiercs Woods, and the other in the town of Seicheprey it. self. Cooks, supply company men, ,rderlics and kitchen police, all were hrown into the conflict and the lines were still held.
 The battle started at o'clock in he morning and ragged back and orth all that day Hurried calls were ent back of the lines for reinforce nents ana artillery ammunition, but 10 help could be had because of the errific barrage which the German ar illery laid down.

What has helped Southern Railway
more than anything elae during the
last fifteen years is the rapid forward
movement that the South has made In
developing It's resources. Industries
have sprung up in large numbers and
agricultural development has broad
ened. And Southern Railway, with its
nework of lines gridironing tho South,
has pro6ted.
The company's bond Issues are grow
Ing stronger and It's underlying mort

plans not yet attained, however, by the
Junior securities. The preferred stock,
although Internationally In the divi-
dend ranks for twenty-five years, can
hardly be called seasoned as yet, al
though prospects, for q continuance Of

sEatfmated.
Earnings for 1922 are estimated.
these estimates being based on the nor
and net taken in conjunction with ac-
tual earnings to date Of latest monthly
report.
Southern Railway has increased its
earning power very substantially dur
ing the last decade, and most of its
surplus earnings have gpne back into
the property. From 1912 to 1921 i'm
elusive the company has paid out $17,-
100000 in dividends on its preferred
stock and carried over S37,000,00o to
surplus account
Southern Railway has developed
along with the South, and It's mileage,
which serves practically every impor-
tant commercial center, places it in q
to reap full advantage from the con
tinued development Of that part Of the
country.
Dividend Record
Tas Southern Railway was incorpo-
rated In 1894 as successor to the Rich
mond & Danvilie Railroad. The $780,
100000 preferred stock is entitled TO
receive non-cumulative dividends at
the ratio of 5 per cent annually. The
first dividend, OF l per cent, was paid
In 1897, gradually increasing TO per
cent In. 1902. In 1907, a per cent was
paid. then nothing until 1911, when
the stock received per cent After
that the rates varied up to 3 per cent,
excepting In the years 1915, 1916 and
1921, when no payments were made.
In October, 1922, the stock again went
on dividend basis. with declaration
Of 2M per cent. No dividends have
ever bsen paid on the common stock.
Margin Of Safety Of Earnings
IN the table below she figureg show
Ing the margins OF safety above inter-
est and preferred dividend require
ments are based on the percentage that
income available for these payments
could decline and still leave sufficient
TO meet the requirements. Thus In
1919, IL total income had fallen l9 per
cent, enough would have been earned
to cover fixed charges and preferred
dividends, but II it had declined 90 per
cent, fixed charges alone would have
been covered,
Where minus sign appears. 1t de-
notes tho percentage that total income
would have to increase in order to
meet requirements in full. In 1920,
for example, total income would have
had to increase per cent in order to
cover fixed charges and leave s per
cent earned on the preferred stock.
No place is given the common stock in
the table, as 1t has never paid divi-

During enc ten years the funded debt
has increased 81 per cent. while no
change has taken place in the out

IS therefore less well balanced now
than 1t was ten years ago. The earn

has never been sufficiently strong to

the necessity of resorting TO bonds or
