MINING SHARES
LEAD MIXED
CURBLIST
By EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, Jan. "a Q.N.SJ.
A fairly heavy profit-taking move
ment developed in later trading
and curb stocks turned irregular
despite renewed inflationary re-
ports. Dealings were moderately
active, after the first squirt.
Mining shares continued to
dominate the market and sold at
higher levels for the most part,
although turning down from
highs. Newmont held on to a
gam of ~ points on further i'm
provement in foreign copper
prices. Sunshine spurted almost
a point but soon lost most Of
gains. Virtually all of the gold
shares were strong and active at
first but sold down to unchanged
levels later.
Irregularity developed in the
oils also. Gulf turned down Ia
point net after at one time show
ing gains of a point. Creole eased,
Imperial and South Penn were
fractionally higher.
Bunker Hill Sullivan and Colt
Patent Fire Arms were strong in
the specialties, establishing gains
ranging to 2 points. Bliss turned
down almost a point on realiza-
ton, and Horn & Hardart and
Technicolor lost ground.
AviationS worked fractionally
higher. Kruger was unchanged
in the liquors.

STOCKS RALLY
AFTER MIXED
INTERVAL
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. "a GN.S0
The stock market rallied after
early irregularity following PreSi-
dent RooSevelt'S press conference
at which he inferentially denied
plans to revalue silver but parted
questions regarding any other an
nouncementS affecting silver or
gold.
The mining issues extended their
gains and Douglas Aircraft, which
jumped over 3 points, led the avia-
tionS into new high ground.
After a strong opening, the mar
ket sagged on a burst Of selling
around 1890 with the ticker run
ming a minute late, but turned
steady and quiet and then rallied
at noon.
In the metal group, U. S. Smelt-
ing rose 2 points while kennecott
gained fractionally to set a new
high and Anaconda cquaQed its
high.
Alaska Juneau was active in the
gold shares.
The oils firmed after early prof
it-taking, the utilities were steady
and the motors and steels little
changed. Responding to the cold
snap, the alcohol shares were
marked up good-sized fractions.
Radio Corp. was unde- pressure
on uncertainty over the revamp-
ing plans which Joseph P Ken
nedy, former SEC head. will pre-
sent to the board of directors this
afternoon.

REINSURANCE
GAIN LEADS
NATION

District of Columbia sales Of
ordinary paid-for life insurance
showed the highest percentage
increase credited to any State
or territorial unit in the country
in 1885, according to figures just
made available by the Life In
Surance Sales Research Bureau
Of Hartford, Conn.
Life insurance purchased here
last year amounted to $60,791,'
900 which was a gain of % per
cent over the year 1884.
A month-by-month tabulation
for the year 1885 compared with
1884 shows that in December, the
District of Columbia gained 20
per cent in amount Of sales over
the corresponding month of 1884.
Among all States or territorial
units the District stands fourth.
Only two States in the entire
South Atlantic division were
credited with gains in December
These are West Virginia with a
gain of "a per cent and Florida
with a gain of per cent. Losses
were reported for Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina and Georgia.
WaShington'S record for the
last month of 1885 appears par
ticularly satisfactory in view OF
the above losses and the further
fact that the United States as a
whole is credited with loss for
the month under review Of 2 per
cent.

Said the Reichsfuehrer to the
French news man: "Nine-tenths Of
the German people have confidence
in their chief and that chief tells the
French people, Let's be friends I
know what most of you are thinking.
1 know that you say tC yourselves
that I am making peaceful declara-
tions. but they are not sincere. But
think it over. Won't a war between
our two countries spell ruin? You
want me to bring a second revised
edition of my book 'Mein Kampf.' If
I can put in it that have brought
about a Franco-German rapproche-
ment, that page will be taken out Of
my book and will be inserted in the
great book of history"
Thus spoke Hitler thret weeks ago.

French government, but to the French

Yet two weeks later he occupied the
Rhineland and denounced the Lo-
carno pact. He knew well the sensa-
ton this gesture of his would create
throughout the world, and particu-
larly in France. But he was deter
mined to show strength. He was de-
termined to show France that she
must come to an understanding with
Germany, which is strong enough now
to defy the whole world. Whether
his move was ill-advised or not, events
within the next few days will show.

In the meantime, while diplomats
are running around in circles, not
knowing what to do or where to go
for help and advice. Hitler is method
ically proceeding with the fortification
of the Rhineland.

And his argument is strong again:
"I am not fortifying my western from
tiers because want to attack France.
have certain ideas about the future
in my head and I dent want to have
my frontiers open" These ideas con-
Germ the French government greatly
because they mean an eventual ag-
gression against some of Frances
allies.
And fortified Rhineland will make
it difficult for the French armies to
take the steps the general staff intends
to take in order to live up to the
present alliances.

Germany has adopted the best and
the least costly method of fortification.
They do not intend to build massive
fortresses, as the French have done.

They are constructing "pill boxes" !"
These are not boxes containing some
powerful poison. They are little tow
ers built of concrete, about 6 feet
high and 4 feet wide. A machine gun
and two machine gunners are placed
in these small towers, which stand
out about or feet above the ground,
where they are well camouf1aged.
Hundreds, maybe thousands, of
them will be built along the Rhine
and will make an almost impregnable
chain of Notifications.
1t is reckoned that 1t takes about
$50 shells of the French .75-milimeter
artillery firming from a 3,000-yard
distance, or two and a half tons of
the heavier caliber gun go shots). to
destroy one of these pill boxes. And
when it is destroyed the loss is slight
only two men and machine gun.
And in order to achieve this costly
result it is necessary tha- the boxes
be discovered by enemy observers and
the fire of the guns be most accurate
The heavy artillery the Reichswehr
has brought into the demilitarized
zone will make the action of the
French very difficult.
