Out of the quarter the *$53,918,872 as earnings of the last corporation deducted an allowance for the excess profits tax for the three months. With allowance .also for or- dinary repairs and maintenance of the plants and interest on the bonds of the subsidiary companies, the total earnings remaining were $90,579,204. There was a further appropriation of $14,317,399 for depreciation and .replacement and $1,806,762 was set ‘aside for sinking fund purposes. This reduced the net income to $74,425,- 053. With deductions for interest for the quarfer on the funded debt of the holding company and premium on bonds redeemed there was a balance for dividend on the two classes of stocks of $68,873,536. From this was declared the regu- ™r quarterly dividend of 1 3-4 per cent. on the preferred and 1 1-4 per cent. on the common stock, requiring 812,658,700, and $15,249,078 as an extra dividend of 3 per cent. on the common stock. Based on the bal- ance for dividends remaining after pavment on the preferred stock, the sarnings on the junior issue were <gquivalent to about 48 per cent. for the year. The earnings for the three months greatly exceeded Wall Street's esti- mates, which ranged from $130,000,- 000 to $135,000,000. As usual, deep interest was dis- played throughout the financial dis- trict in the quarterly earnings. When . the first bulletin came out, giving the @et earnings at $90,579,204, there was a gasp of dismay. The traders saw visions of a great smash, but there was relief when the explanation rame that the directors had deducted s 918,872 for excess profit tax and 865,000 from the earnings of the frst quarter of the year for the ex- % ress profits tax, wliich left a total surplus for the months after all deductions of $71,8564,717. During the six months ending June 30, 1917, 43,000,000 was expended on account of additions and new con- struction Chairman Gary told the newspaper men that a great part of the appropriation for mew construc- Hon was to equip the corporation for zovernment work. Including this ap- propriation was $12,000,000, to be used for the Tennessee Coal and Iron ~olant. and $12.000,000 for the con- struction of the new shipbuilding plant on the Hackensack Meadonws.

WOOD FAVORS FRENCH TUTORING Believes Members of Harvard R. 0. T. C. Suited for Teaching Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 1.—Major Gen. Leonard Wood, on a visit here yesterda took issue with military authoritis who prevent the use at reserve officers’ training camps of for- eign instructors who have Had actual experience in modern warfare. He took an entirely opposite view from that of Washington authorities have decreed that students trained at Harvard by distinguished French officers must pass through one of the regular training camps be- fore they can get commissions. He thinks the students here under the French mission have had training in trench warfare “that has not been equalled in any camp with which I am familiar,” and that these students are now qualified to act as-instructors. Gen. Wood, after a flying visit to a meeting of the Hammond Radio Board at Gloucester, of which he is president, and an automobile trip to Camp Azan ,Barre, where the reserve officers’ training corps of Harvard is temporarily located, left town greatly who impressed with Harvard's military training. His son, Otis C. Wood, is a captain in the Harvard corps. The General said: “On every side at Barre I saw evi- dence that the Harvard R. O. T. C. has received careful training, especial- ly in the details of modern trench warfare training which has not been equalled in this respect in any camp with which I am familiar. The rea- son for this is to be found in the fact that the Harvard regiment has had the tremendous advantage of being instructed by five carefully selected officers of the French army, who have ! had long service at the front. The re- sult is that most of the young men en- joying this advantage are qualified to act as instructors in these essential details for others. “The whole country owes a debt of gratitude to the French officers who are instructing the Harvard regiment and to Harvard University for the farseeing policy which made it the first to appreclate the absolute neces- sity of procuring inspectors of this type, thoroughly experienced in the details of mecdern warfare, which is full of the new and unknown to those who have not participated in it. “Under such instruction the Har- vard regiment has done fine work, and I hope we shall have many of its men as instructors in the Southeastern De- partment. I hope also that we shall be fortunate enough to procure a force as soon as possible of trained French, English and Canadian officers who can give us at first hand the de- tails of this new training, which have learned from actual experi- at the frort and which lhis pres- ent war renders absolutely necessary.” CONGRESSMAN FIRM ING. 0. P. CHARGES Dallinger Again Claims His Let- ters Were Tampered With Washington, Aug. 1.—Despite de- nials by Postmaster Murray of Boston and-Inspector Leonard of the New England division that the mails of congressmen had been tampered with, Representative Tague of Massachu- setts, reiterated his charges yesterday and declared he would go the limit to prove them. He will try to get the house committee on post offices to take up the matter, and, if not suc- cesstul, he will bring it up on the floor of the house in December, he de- clared. He told the house committee hold- ing the hearing he knew his letters had been opened, produced three affidavits in support of his assertion and said he was prepared to produce more and to secure additional wit- nesses. There were at least two dozen instances in which letters had been opened, he asserted, and he added that “the mysterious surveillance to which he had been subjected because he led the fight against Postmaster General Burleson's proposal to dis- continue the pneumatic tube service was “the talk of the Boston office.’ An anonymous letter proeduced bv Inspector Leonard, which had been _sent to Mr. Burleson from the Rox- | bury, Mass., statlon, suggested that the Massachusetts members had been trading votes on the pneumatic tube amendments in the postal appropria- tion act. The letter was forwarded to Leonard by First Assistant Postmaster i General Koons with a personal letter saying the department would like to know who sent it. The writer never was discovered. Dallinger Contradicted. Postmaster Murray declared the poor quality of paper in an envelope was responsible for its re-sealing. He made general denials of the “insinua- tions” that letters had been tampered with. “I brand the statement of Mr linger as the statement of a_ re irresponsible man, unworthy lief,” said he Representative Heintz of Ohio tried without success to have this remark taken from the record ,and Mr. Mur- ray continued: ‘He'charges me with crimes against the United States, and his statement is libelous per se, and I deny .them as forcible as 1 can Denying that letters were opened in the Boston post office Mr. Murray said he had refused to permit secret service agents to peruse the mail of interned German sailors. “This testimany,” said Mr. Tague, “clearly shows the post office officials are contradicting each other. I am thoroughly convinced that they have done this thing. 1 know my mail has been opened. Further, T want to state once more, as clearly as I can, that they did investigate my personal and private affairs, and it was.the common talk of the Boston post office.” “I eontradict that statement,’ Inspector Leonard, of be- sald GIANT SPOTTER T0 WARN OF U-BOATS ;Submannes Can Be Detected When Leaving Their Bases Washington, August 1.—The navy department has prepared a compre- hensive plan for protecting American shipping from submarines. The de- partment is working on a giant de- tector which is expected greatly to as- sist in solving the menace. While the details of the detector cannot be published, it is known that the department expects it to be ef- fective over approximately five miles, If it justifies this expectation it is the intention to stretch the detectors across the waters in the cinity of the German bases and thereby locate U-boats as they start out. While these experiments are pend- ing the department intends to rely upon armed guards and convoys to protect shipping. Officlals are satis- fied that proper armament is the hest protection for shipping at present. They call attention to the fact that no American ship with a fair rate of speed and properly armed has heen sunk. The department is satisfied that if Great Britain would -use the methods of arming ships employed by this government, the rate of destruction of all except extremely slow craft would be reduced greatly. Officials here know that Great Britain satisfies itself with placing one gun on a ship, manned by a scrub crew, while this government carries numerous guns of the most approved type manned oy picked crews. The navy department has dise ered that the life saving facilities’ forded by most merchant, ship od cerns is totally inadequate. The partment has made a clean sweep the lifeboats received with ahips and has installed enough accommodate the maximum. crew the number of passengers allowed the ships.
