advices from Athens this afternoon.
1t had been reported since Tuesday night that Con-

ABDICATION UNCONDITIONAL.

abdcation, made no reservations.

years will witness as great changes in the railroad field as the past ten have witnessed in the traction field. Railroads have already felt the effect of pleasure automobiles, but they have not really begun yet to feel the ef- fleets of auto trucking. The trucking of goods within a radii of 50 or 100 miles has only begun and this radius may readily be extended to cover 200 or 250 miles. Trans-continental sys- tems such as the Union Pacific, North ern Pacific, Great Northern, Southern Pacific, Chicago, Rock Island & Pa cific, and Atchison have nothing to fear from the trucks. In fact, the trucks may help them. Roads like the New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio and the Southern can survive and perhaps profit under this competition. With a road such as the Boston & Maine, New Haven, Pennsylvania, Chi cago & North Western, Reading and the like, this is not true. These roads are bound to suffer far more from the truck than they now think possible.
 "WeE shall live to see great high ways built by the state exclusively for truck use. Railroads are destined ul- timately to lose all of their short haul business and hence the roads which are in comparatively small and com pact territories are sure to suffer. The only hope for some roads such as the Boston, &.. .Mainesands New Haven is to sell certain of theis.rights of way to the state in order that the tracks may be removed and concrete high ways laid in their place. Many roads have parallel lines today under their control. The wise railroad company will develop one of these for itself and will sell the other at good price to the state for a concrete truck high way. Frankly, I would rather take my chances with concrete securities than with railroad securities bought indiscriminately. Therefore, in taking any tips from Wall Street to buy rail way securities use great discrimina- ton to select those which cannot be adversely affected By a great devel- opment in trucking or those whose management is fsr-sighted enough to reduce their mileage to only such ss
 is profitable selling the rest - for trucking highways" .>..., .
 Continued activity in building lines has brought general business to new
 high level for the year. The index of
 the Bsbsonchsrt now stands at but per cent below normal-an improve
 ment of ? per cent since last week.

 on Business Conditions

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Sept. 3o.- Since the settlement of the" railroad strike many tips have come from Wall Street relative to- the purchase of railroad securities. Relative to these recommendations Roger W. Babson today issued the following statement.
 There is no doubt but that the settlement of the railroad strike is favorable to general business. Ow- ing to the coal situation, such a set- tlement was absolutely necessary. Moreover, it has been more or less favorable to the railroads. The wage workers have gone back at the rates determined by the R. R. Labor Board and most of those who went out on strike are sorry that they did 1t. The seniority question was settled on a 50-60 basis, neither side claiming victory: This, also is we'll for all concerned because the railroads are now able to restore seniority rights to the good men who deserve them and to withhold them from those who do not. Wall Street is justified in sending out reports that the settle ment is favorable to railroad securi. ties.
 "The settlement of the strike on the present basis should also prompt both sides to count ten before an- other srike is precipitated In other words the railroad strike is for both tine railroads and the wage-workers. The wage-workers today realize that the railroads are stronger and bet ter able to handle a labor situation than has been the case for many years while the railroads have greater res lpect for the labor unions that they have had heretofore. All this means that when another difference arises both sides will be anxious to patch up the difficulty before strike is called instead of being anxious to precipi- tate a strike as seems to have been the case two months ago. Therefore, barring the European situation which may adversely affect all securities, ] feel fairly optimistic on railroad SC. curities. I.say that the European sit. uation may adversely affect all se' curities because people are liable tt rush to sell their European securities
 and in so doing all securities will bt affected even tho another European
 war would ultimately help our indus ], trials and indirectly our railroads Railroad securities, however, mus be bought with great discrimination
 The time is past when all railroad
 are good or bad. The next fev
