1876 OFFICERS SEEK
RETIREMENT RELIEF
Veterans Bureau Head Explains
Many Evidently Misunderstood
Provisions of Act.

Director Frank T. Hines of the Vet
Grams Bureau has announced that 1876
claims for retirement under the emer-
gency officers retirement act have
been received by the bureau. Of these,
1918 have been settled. he said, re-
firing with pay 708 officers, retiring
without pay 40 and disallowing claims
in 465 cases.
Disabled officers, Director Hines said
evidently were under misunderstood
ing that If their names appeared in
recent list of disabled officers, print
ed in the Congressional Record, they
were entitled to relief under the act.
The list in the record, Gen. Hines eX-
planned, contained the names of all
former officers then rated by the bureau
as 80 per cent disabled, irrespective of
the provisions of the law under which
their disabilities were connected with
service
Because an officers name appeared
on this list does not necessarily mean
he would get relief under the new law.
1t was explained. The emergency Of
flcers' retirement act limited it's bene-
fits to those officers having a disability
resulting directly from service and in
Cured IN line of duty. The act ex-
cludes those men whose disabilities
are presumptively connected under the
provisions of the World War veterans
act and the war risk insurance act.

IMPROVED HIGHWAY
IS AN AID TO TRADE
Road Builders Open Markets
in Many Foreign
Countries.
BY J. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatCn TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, December 3.-Road
building is already beginning to bring
in its direct returns in the shape of
orders for road-building machinery and
materials, but the indirect returns also
are commencing to make themselves
felt
The holiday trade from the South At
lantic States in the form of poultry,
live stock and vegetables already is find
ing a better outlet to Northern markets
across the great new bridge over the
James River, at Newport News, which
gives a short truck route from the Caro-
linas and Virginia to the North along
the coast.
Further development in transporta-
ton and expansion of markets is also
sure to result from the completion of
the Cooper River Bridge, from Charles
ton, S. c., to Mount Pleasant, on the
opposite shore. These two bridges will
not only open direct and finely sur
faced route from New England all the
way to Florida, but will make accessible,
through the great new bridges across
Lake Pontchartrain, in Louisiana, the
automobile route from the East and
North to the Middle South and the
great Southwest, over improved high
ways.
Roads of this character not only mean
tourist traffic, which leaves profits in
its wake, but truck and bus traffic, which
brings farmers and manufacturers in
closer touch with their markets. Es-
pecially along the Seacoast it opens
to inland farmers outlets to foreign
markets, which they have never had
before in such available form.
The Cooper River Bridge is certain to
bring to the South Atlantic States a
remarkable addition in population and
a widening of business activity. Within
the next two years, a system of hard
surfaced highways will connect Charles
ton with all points in the State.
Highway bond issues totaling $780,
100000 were approved at the recent
election in four States, Louisiana, Iowa.
West Virginia and Missouri.
1t is not only in the United States
that the American road builders are
aiding business expansion. In foreign
countries, especially in Central and
South America and in the Caribbean,
the road builders are the pioneers of
business.
In Cuba, American contractors are
building 500 of the 700 miles of CEN
trail highway through the island, which
when completed will cost about $751;
100000.
American contractors are engaged in
experimenting the laying of streets in
Bogota and many other cities in the
Latin American republics are being i'm
proved. An American company is busy
in Japan, where fine road has been
laid between Osaka and Kobe, and in
Australia.

SPECULATIVE BOND
ISSUES SHOW DROP
Liquidation Follows Weak
ness in StoCkS-Money
Factor important.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
ial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 3.-Liquida-
ton of high-grade bonds, presumably
for the account of banks in order to
improve their position with the Federal
Reserve, became a factor in the invest
ment market today for the first time in
several months
The strain of high money has been
resisted for a long while, but today it
had pronounced effect. Dealers
found large selling orders in the better
grades of rails and public utilities,
which flowed into the market through
out the session.
The declines were not large, but
taken with those that have occurred
recently they carried the average of
prices to a level about 81 under that
ruling a month ago. Legal rails were
especially soft. as were some of the
newer and Az per cent issues. De-
clines ranged from y to 81
The situation once more emphasizes
the fact that while supplies of credit
have been provided for the country wide
speculation in stocks. they have robbed
the investment market of its basis of
strength and left it in a most unfavor-
able position at a time when under
writer's and dealers are preparing for
their biggest season of distribution
The decline today in the speculative
bond list was to be expected in view of
the weakness in many stocks. Pressure
to sell number of the popular con-
vertibleS was strong enough to bring
about losses of 3 to 13 points. Andes
Copper rs had the largest decline
After opening with a small loss they
slunlped 13 points and were nearly 40
points under the high of last month.
Anaconda Copper Is dropped points
Public Service of New Jersey. 412S fell
5 points and the italian industrial con-
vertibleS were / 4 to 3l2 points lower
AS a group the oil convertibles held
steady during the greater part of the
day.
Offerings of the higher grade foreign
issues were larger than in weeks, lead
ing to declines of q to nearly point.
These reflected general demand for
cash rather than securities and not any
specifically weak situations
The United States Government list
stood up moderately well. There has
been such a radical change in the
money outlook in the past week that
the Treasury may not be able to bor-
row on as favorable terms as had been
molcaled late IN November. Wnen the
Al per cent October notes were offered,
Secretary Mellon based the rate on the
money conditions at the moment and
gave the market full advantage of this.
These notes are now quoted on about
a 4l4 per cent basis. Time money is
slightly easier than it was then, but
call loans have averaged higher in the
last few days than at any period this
year.

panies are benefting by the new swing
to labor-saving devices.
The four large companies whose
stocks are shown on the chart have
been in business for well over 10 years
Each has made definite contributions
to the agricultural industry; the pillow,
the reaper, the seeder, the mower and
many other inventions. But never be-
fore have they had such an incentive
to go ahead and produce new imple-
ments; never before has the market
been SO responsive.
The stocks of all of these companies
have risen sharply in the past two years.
International Harvester has increased
ITO per cent in value, Case PAT per cent
and Advance Rumely 400 per cent.
The preferred stocks of these companies
have also advanced steadily, following
after the general trend of Deere Pre-
ferred, which is shown on the chart,
While the advances in these agricul-
tural implement stocks have been sharp
they might be justified on the grounds
That these are firms of long standing
IN the industry, which have piled uu
large reserves over period of years
Now they are in a real position to
profit by improved agricultural condi-
tionS.
