(luting tho resslon yesterday, the puhllc
pattlclpatlon In It wag not great, Tills
left It turnout entirely professional. That
there was good support for slocks n scale
under the prices which ruled during the
morning was Bhown l.y the tact that stocKn
did not decline to any great cxlctit, the
losses In the grent majority of cases being
confined to fractions. One of the exceptions
to the rule was I.ehlgh Valley, which nt
one time showed a loss of 3?i points as
computed with the close of yesterday. This
reaction came about artcr the stock had so'd
a half pom higher In the morning. The
stick established a new low nt 633J. which
Is the lowest nlnce 101 S The movement In
Lehigh alley must ho -,. r.i,i ,. ,, -..,.-
rial one, due to a grct extent to the soft
tone shown In the lalltoad wtocks In Wall
itreet
It was tegarded ns natural that theio
siionin no some declines from the best
prices, this being duo to pioflt-tnklng at
the higher leo! Willi the exception of
I tilted States Steel ("million, there were no
latge iransactlonM that Is, large In the
sense that they exceeded any prc lolls days
t any great extent. Steel common fol
lowed the course taken In Vew York. After
an advance of more tlian Hi points theie
was n teactlon to below t!in llnnl nmirp
of last night. It was left to Lake Superior
to furnish the largest trading of any dls
tlnitly local Issue. After selling up a half
point It declined to tho closing Hgurc of
iasi nigiii. i ne ii.icuon siiarcs did ery
little. Philadelphia Rapid Transit trust
certificates had declined to 29, a loss of U.
by the middle of the lart hour, but only
(IS certificates had changed hands by that
time.
The York Itailwins Company Issued Its
earning statement for February and thtee
months. It compared favorably with the
coi responding period of the previous ear.
'For the, month tho gross earnings were
81. 25;. a gain of f"J40. or 9.4 per cent,
while the net was $48,599,.n!i Incieasc of
$48 IB, or II per (ent (Jross earnings for
the three mouths were $2G9,GG1, nn Increase
of $31.14(1, or 13.1 per lent, nud the net was
$151,412, a gain of $15,950. or 11.8 per cent

ADMIRAL PEARY SAYS
GERMAN AIR RAIDERS
COULD SHATTER
THIS CITY
AN INTERVIEW WITH AD
MIRAL PEARY
An airplane attack on Philadelphia? How
under heaven could you stop It?
Philadelphia, like every other coast city
of Importance In the United States, could
offer no resistance now.
Do you realize that an airplane, launched
from a vessel 100 miles at sea, could reach
Philadelphia within an hour, drop halt a
ton of modern explosives, nnd Ret hack to
her fthln without nnvthintr In tho wnrta k,,
an accident to stop her?
Five pounds will destroy a torpedoboat.
Three hundred pounds will send tho largest
battleship to the bottom. Five hundred
pounds, dropped Into a city canyon, bounded
by close-huddled skyscrapers, would ruin
the show buildings of a fairly large city.
There are airplanes built at the present
time capable of traveling 160 miles an
hour. Battleplanes can make 100 miles with
eare.
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION RAINED
FROM THE SKY
This Is what an organized fleet of air
planes could do:
It could come In at the most leisurely
speed possible to airplanes. It could soar
over the city at a low elevation lower
than would be possible In any Impottant
city In Europe.' Plane after plane could
pick out Its oblectlve point, drop Us ex
plosives, nnd retreat. As airplanes usually
travel In flceta of twelve, you might count
on six tons of tho most powerful explosives
ever Invented by man falling Into your city
within an hour.

traffic to every point of the interior. And
by dropping more explosives, it might so
obstruct the channel of the Delaware River
that, ships would be unable to make their
way in and out, to and from the sea.
The havoc that would be wrought among
the office buildings and the entire down
town district can be easily Imagined. The
business section of the city would afford
the easiest mark and would, of course, be.
one of the objectives of any attack.
SUBMARINE COULD LOOSE THE
AERIAL SCOURGE
How would an airplane get In here from
the sea?
You probably have seen them for your
selves; I have seen recent movir.g-p'ctures
of a ship at Salonlkl which carried not
only twelve airplanes, but a dfe-lglble as
wel). Alrrcst any tramp steamer, of suffi
cient slie, could be so fitted.
This, however, fs by no means the worst.
It Is now reported, upon good nuthorlty.
that the Oerman Government has con
structed ten submarines of large size for the
special carrying of airplanes. These are
io serve as mopiie floating bases, from
which tha planes may be sent out. In regu.

mny des'gn to attack.
