Fort Brown Cavalry Marches
On Despite Stiff Opposition

PLOTS. In general very high praise
was given the commander and all
officers and men Of the 18th Cav
airy. Individual exploits by Captain
Shoemaker's, Lieutenant Palmer's
and Lieutenant F~innegan's patrols
IN rear Of the enemies lines sound
like fiction: the excellent handling
Of m>,hine guns and rifles by the
cavalry was a source OF wonder TO
the infantry, the way in which
the horsemen eluded the vigilant
eye Of the air observers surprised
all; but most Of ell, the speed with
which the cavalry disappeared and
then appeared miles away kept
the Blues in a constant state OF
fear and hesitation and brought
the greatest praise from neutral
observers.
The 18th Cavalry finished the
maneuvers in excellent condition
and health and with the highest
morale. 1t was the first time In
many years that the regiment has
been all together. The return march
brings the Fort Ringgold troops
home on the 10th and the Fort
Brown command on the 26th.

STRUGGLE FOR MILLIONS ENDS
 WITH DECISION
Bethlehem Ste el and Youngtown Company
 Merger Is Denied
MIN. STOCKHOLDERS
 GRANTED INJUNCTION
Accountants Gave Mislead- ing Reports, Judge
 Jenkins Decides

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Dec. 29.-The proposed one billion dollar merger of the Bethle- hem Steel Corporation and the Youngstown Sheet Tube Company is denied by Judge David E. Jenkins.
 Judge Jenkins has granted the minority stockholders an injunction r e S t r aiming the combination.
 Judge Jenkins handed down his decision six months after the inception of the merger plan.
 The merger plan has been one of the bitterest legal bat ties in corporate history in the struggle for millions and was carried out fir st with proxies, then with lawsuits. The forces were marshaled by Cyrus s. Baton, Cleveland 1 financier, who went into court with charges of fraud after a spectacular battle for prox- ies.
 Judge Jenkins said the Youngstown Sheet Tube Con- pany Beard of Directors did not give adequate informa- ton to their stockholders on the merger when they met last April and approved it. He said accountants delivered misleading epOrts to the stockholders.
