ADDS LITTLE COST
Navy Reports Use of Ships
EntaiIed Negligible Extra
Expense.
BY the Associated Press.

Navy officials estimated today that
little extra cost to the Government is
involved in the use of two United
States warships and Coast Guard
cutter in evacuating American citi-
Gems from danger zones of the Spanish
revolution.
The chief item of expense in remov-
ing stranded nationals to the safety of
foreign ports is the cost of operating
the battleship Oklahoma, the heavy
cruiser Quincy and the cutter Cayuga,
which were assigned to the task at
the direction of the State Department.
Meal Reimbursement Expected.
This amounts to combined average
of approximately $4,000 daily for the
three vessels. officers say, however,
that this expenditure cannot be
charged to the Spanish emergency be-
cause it would have been incurred re-
gardlesS of the work performed by the
ships.
Outlays involved in feeding the ref
ugees while they were being trans
ported lTOIu Opdll1 NeIc UeIlcNcu W NC
negligible, inasmuch as there have
been few cases of actual destitution
among those evacuated. 1t was pre-
sumed that most of them either reim-
bursed the commanding officers of the
ships for food supplied them or will do
so later.
The same situation was believed to
be applicable in the case of the more
than 200 Americans who have been
sheltered in the American Embassy at
Madrid at various times in the last
few weeks.
S3,253 for Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma and Quincy were
assigned to Spanish waters on July
81 and the Cayuga on July %. The
daily average operating cost for the
Oklahoma and Quincy is $3,253 and
S2,532, respectively, and $100 for the
Cayuga.
These figures were calculated from
Navy and Coast Guard computations
of average annual overall operating
costs for vessels of those types. In
each case, the greater part of the
operating expense is chargeable to
pay and subsistence for the crews,
while fuel and maintenance supplies
account for the bulk of the remainder.

THREE BILLIONS TO
PAY IN DIVIDENDS
Continued from Page ~

for the final quarter of this year,
In addition to regular dividends,
gives every promise OF adding $780,
000, 900 to the income Of stockhold-
ers, the largest disbursements for
any quarter In history.
More than one-third Of the final
quarter payments will represent ex-
ira distributions by corporations
reducing their liability under the
federal surplus profits tax, which
Is effective for 1886 earnings.
In the third 1896 quarter, extra,
special and increased dividends ex-
ceeded $500, 100000 and were led by
an extra payment by General Mo-
tors Corporation which added $751;
625, 900 to the regular dividend OF
| $2l. 100000 - q total payment OF
| $54,375,000. During the first two
quarters dividends rose about $780,
100000 over the 1885 disbursements.
While many Of the extra, in
creased and special distributions
have been motivated by the federal
surtax, they all reflect sharp linz
provement in corporate earnings and
recovery OF industry, on the aver
age, to 1880 activity levels.
Industrial earnings for the first
8 months this year were up more
than 90 per cent over the 1885 per-
Tor, according to, Federal Reserve
Bank statistics. There Is every in
dication that the final halfs figures
will make an even better showing,
Notwithstanding the fact that oper-
ations In the last 8 months In 1885
reached o new recovery high.
Rejecting all these factors con-
sumers income for the first nine
months this year reached $39,873,-
100000, an increase Of 1871 per cent
above the total OF $36, 243, 300, 900 In
the corresponding 1885 period. In
the same period this year consumer
expenditures totaled $26,277, 1000, 00C
or 1913 per cent above the $23 ,299,-
100000 spent In the 1885 period.
Expect Big Holiday Trade
Economists expect both consumer
income and outgo for the last !
months Of this year to increase some
IS per cent over 1885. They antic-
ipate the heaviest retail holiday
trade since 1929 and predict some
lines will have the best sales In his
tory.
They point to the steadily increas-
ing demand for items In the luxury
class as evidence that some meas
ure OF real prosperity has returned
They contend that the expenditures
OF S6,l0l, 100000 for automobiles ir
the first nine months this year, only
$l86, 100000 less than expended fol
the nations food bill is concrete
evidence that. as one economist put
it, "happy days are here again.
Since the national elections q
week ago approximately $4,000 ,00t

and increased dividends, wage in

Happy Armlsticc Day
Boston, Nov. ll.-(Up)-Today
was the happiest Armistice day in
II years for Manuel D. Silva, Cam
bridge WPA worker.
He was notified last night that
he had been cleared Of O deser.
ton charge and would be given on
honorable discharge. Thus, he was
made eligible for o soldiers bonus
and veterans disability compensa-
ton.
Notification came from o special
court martial board that heard
Silva's case at the u. 8. Army base
here two weeks ago.
Enlisting ct 10, Silva fought with
the 10th infantry at Cantigney, San
Mihiel, In the Meuse Argonne and
Aisne Marine and was cited for
gallantry on each occasion. He was
wounded several times and once
suffered serious head injury as
result Of O bomb explosion.
At the close Of the war, Silva
was transferred to Camp Merritt,
