And Ford looked at me, and then he looked at Bryan as though he expected Bryan to jump overboard. And then both of them pretended they didn’t see me. I felt that strange general impulse toward hunger right then and there. But they walked off and left me and nobody Would open the door of the cage. “I'm gind of that now.

Doc Pease stayed home because some- body laughed when he said the way to stop the war was to prohibit ail shipments of tobacco to the trenches. That was how the Doo came to join on anyway. “This war,” says the Doo, “is a war of the depraved and the sinful. I can prove it by my friend Miss Annette Hazelton,” he says, “Do you mind the letters which the unclean news- paper press is printing from the sol- diers, asking people to send them cigarettes and tobacco and pipes by mail? Now," saya the Doe, “if you could keep that accursed tobacco stuff away from the trenches they would all stop fighting and go back to their miserable and degraded homes in London and Petrograd and Paris and Rome and smoke them- selves to death and rid the world of their presence.” Then be went down to his cabin and found a box of cigarettes, half empty on the berth of his cabin mate, aod I haven't seen bim since.

TO THE HOLDERS OF THE FOLLOWING SECURITIES OF THE MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPAN Convertible Five Per Cent. First and Refunding Bonds, Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonds, Capital Stock, and Securities of the Other Issues dealt with in the Plan of Readjustment In order to preserve the Missouri Pacific System from the evils and losses incident to a prolonged re- celvership the Plan of Readjustment should be promptly consummated. ‘The property does not require the extensive physical rehabilitation or the eli ation of burdensome entanglements and contracts w! ich are the usual causes of long railroad receivers! What is required is (a) the cash (approximately 841,000,000) for immediate needs; (b) such reduction in fixed charges as will bring them within a proper margin of the demon- strated earning capacity of the property; and (c) the creation of a new security to deal with the obligations maturing during the next five years (approximately 879,000,000) in so far as they do not fall within the cash provisions of the Plan, and to provide Tor future corporate requirements. Manifestly these results can be accomplished only by an early reorganization, and to this end the prompt co-operation of the holders of the various classes of securities affected by the readjustment is essential. They are accordingly urged for the protection of their own interests and in order to in: the early restora’ f the property to the management of a solvent company to deposit their securities under the Plan of Read- justment as promptly as sible, and in any event ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 15TH, WHEN THE TIME FOR DEPOSIT DER THE P! EXPIRES, AND AFTER WHICH IT IS INTENDED TO PROCEED ACTIVELY TO CARRY THE PLAN INTO EFFECT. There can be no doubt that radical changes in the financial structure of the Company as called for in the Plan of Readjustment are essential to secure the needed results. icipated improvement in business should result in better earnings than those of the last fiscal iled to meet the interest charges by about $1,250,000, the margin between earnings and fixed charges which is absolutely essential for the restoration of the Company’s credit cannot be assured without the reduction in interest payments sought to be accomplished by the conversion of the Convertible Five Per Cent. Bonds and the Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonds into preferred stock (or income bonds). Under the Plan the stockholders provide the $41,000,000 of cash for immediate requirements without imposing any burden upon the holders of these bonds; for while the stockholders receive four per cent. bond equal in face amount (but not in market value) to the cash which they furnish, the position of the holders of the Convertible Five Per Cent. Bonds and the Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonds in relation to earnings is not disturbed in any mi ial degree, because upon the consummation of the Plan the Legh eg ahead of them upon the System taker whole are not augmented while the net earning capacity of the property should be substantially increased. The attention of holders of the Missouri Pacific Four Per Cent. Gold Loan Bonds is called to the write, | fact that default has been made in the payment of the interest on the Iron Mountain Company's First and Re- funding Mortgage Six Per Cent. Bond ‘and that p ings have been instituted to foreclose the mortga, by which those ids are secured. Their attention is also called to the importance of preserving the traffic relations between the Iron Mountain and Missouri Pacific Companies.
