Such efforts do not portend peace They rather suggest further sacrifice further destruction and more und more waste, although it may be that change of mind or breakdown of strenasth will develop when least ex- pected. 1In any event, the immedi- ate outlook for peace is remote and th nviction is the prime source of present market strength. America cannot avold lgoking on in sorrow at the harrowing speetacle, but our people and our government are alike incapable of intedfering or affecting the issue in any way. All neutr: are benefiting from the needs of th belligerents; the United States, owing to its more industrial capacity, nat- urally profiting far more than any ciher. When the war is over, this country will find itself in a vastly strengthened position. It will be pancially independent of Burope; and out of the vast profits made from the war, it will doubtless be en- abled to assist many of the suffering nations of Europe to recover their impaired positions by depending largely upon this country for the capital and material needed for rc construciion. The worid has neve geen such an example of the folly of war, or the wisdom of peace, as will zppear when pedce arrives. For some time to come our leading Industrials promise tp experience much speculative activity, the steel jssues—which are earning fabulous profits—being naturally leaders. At- tention, however, is now being turned to other industrials in the war grou as these are benefiting from the im- petus given general trade and are less hazardous than some of the highly in- flated munition shares Railroad stocks are also receiving more favor from both investors and speculators. All the principal lines are reporting e cellent earnings, and in spite of grow- Ing expenses, their net results are highly encouraging. A few lines have already increased their dividends, gome have passed out of the stage of doubt in this respect, while others seem likely to advance their dividend rate in the not distant future. The betterment of the railroad situation is apparent in other directions than Improvement in dividends. One of the most important things to remember in railroad matters is that public opinion is at last turning from chronic hostility and prejudice to an attitude of justice and fair play. At last it is being recognized that the railroads have been the prey of unjust treat- ment, that much legislation has been oppressive and unwise, that labor’s de- mands have about reached the limit of public sympathy, and that if our trans- portation system is to develop in keep- Ing with public requirements, the rail- roads must be placed under rational Federal protection, where it is possible for them to escape the conflicting authority of forty-eight different states and to earn a fair return for their ser- vices. This change in the attitude of public opinion is significant. One ef- fect is the forthcoming issue of $25,- 000,000 New York Central stock, a transaction which may soon be fol- lowed by similar issues of other prom- Inent systems. This is the first im- . portant block of railroad stock offered in a number of years, financial re- guirements having been met by a mass of short-term notes and bond issues, which left the roads burdened with fixed obligations. The relief of this hazard should be appreciated by all railroad managers, and will undoubt- have an important effect upon the of railroad propertie; bundant and r plethora of and desirable upware renewed nd foree of the by vear index an war small is question forced upon our how long can such high ter- and have we in ore for edly value; Money eas Ther: Beoking investment, atively funds is is a is- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1916. sues are readily absorbed.

Presumably these re- cent arrivals are to pave the way for the rumored $250.000,000 Briti sue.
