.BARGAIN BONDS AND SHORT TERM
; NOTESEXCITE VARIED VIEWS
Some Financiers Think Time Is Ripe for Buying
at Present Rates Others Differ Gossip
.l of the Street
DAHCLAT, MOORE & CO., 123 South Broad street, lmvo just Issue.! a circular
3- letter to their customers ndvlslns them that the present Is, In their opinion,
the best tlmo to purchase long-term bonds, when corporations nro financing their
requirements by short-term notes. '
"Among the reasons which they give Is: '
Tho Issuance of short-term notes indicates tlint the prominent llnnnclcrs
feel that long-term bonds aro selling too low, and that this condition will proh
tbly change for tho better within a few years, otherwise they would pay tho
.price for long-term loans.
Tho circular presents a table covering a list of high-grade long-term bonds
8lected at random from the New York Stock Kxchango list and bIiows, among
other things, tho return which the Investor could have had through tho purchase
f any of these bonds, within 1 per cent of the low figures of 1907, and their rqIo
within 1 per cent of tho high prices of 1908. These returns run all tho way from
t per cent to 24 per cent.
Mr. Mooro says conditions In the bond market today resemble those in 1907,
and for that reason ho is strongly recommending tho purchaHo uf high-grade long.
ttrm bonds at the present bargain prices.
Traction Company Passes Bond Interest
Announcement has been mado that tho Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana Trac
tion Company may be unablo to meet Interest on Its bonds on September 1 next. It
8 said that notwithstanding an Increase In net earnings, the operating expenses,
particularly the cost of coal and labor, have cut down net earnings very considerably.
Hocking Valley New Issue Active
William Salomon & Co., of New York, with offices In tho Stock Exchange Build
ing, announce considerable activity In the new Issue of $5,000,000 one-year C per cent
notes of tho Hocking Valley Hallway Company.
These notes are dated November 1, 1917, and aro duo November, 191S. They
are issued to refund n G per cent note coming due November 1, 1917, and ate offered
at 99, to yield 6U per cent.
Index to Utilities Commission's Policy
An opinion recently expressed by L. P. Hammond, of Bonbrlght &. Co. (whose
local office. Is In tho Lafayette Building), In which he said public service commissions
would be Inclined to place tho burden of increased operating costs on largo con
sumers of power and light, rather than on the small consumers, has received con
firmation In a decision of the Public Utilities Commission of Colorado Just published
in connection with the Colorado Springs Light, Heat and Power Company.
The decision says, in part: ,
The Increase in the cost of coal and labor affects materially tho cost of
serving such a (large) consumer, and tho commission Is of the opinion that the
rate schedule hereinafter provided should be such that n large portion of the
company's Increase In operating expenses will bo borne by Its largo consumers.
Good Time to liny Stocks Outright
"I consider this a good time to buy standard stocks If a man can buy them out
right and hold onto them," remarked the principal of one of the centrally located
feond and investment houses.
"But I would not advise buying on close margins with so much uncertainty In
the air about matters which may Influence the market seriously, or otherwise, ac
cording to how they are finally decided."
Westward Ho! for Philadelphia Suburbs
"There Is really only one direction In which suburban Philadelphia can grow and
that is west," said tho head of a well-known Investment house.
"I wonder," he remarked, "how many people have realized that. To tho south
from Darby to Chester has all been pre-empted for Industrial plants, and tho same
might be said about Frankford, so that along tho linos of the Philadelphia and
Western Railway Company is tho only part left for suburban homes. I don't know
of any traction line better built or one giving better service that tho Philadelphia
and Western, with its terminal at Sixty-ninth street. I live out that way myself,"
he continued, "and all through the summer I llnd it impossible to read my paper there
U so much that 13 beautiful to be seen through the windows of tho cars."
Commends Investment in Standard Stocks
"1 think this is a good time for any ono to Invest In standard stocks," declared
'the manager of Townsend Whelen & Co.
"Take, for Instance, United States Steel," he continued, "that company has not
borrowed a cent for years. It has paid off millions of dollais of the bond-) of Its sub
Idlary compr.nles; it lias put back millions of Its earnings Into extensions, replace
' ments and Improvements, and today It has money to loan. .
"There is no ono that can tell me," he said, "that the equity in that property
represented by the common stock Is not worth every cent of what it Is bringing today
and more excess profits or no excess profits."
Bargain Bonds vs. Short-Term Notes
"Do I advise tho purchase of high-grade long-term bonds at present bargain
...),. t -,.,. rr, mod Issues of short-term notes bringing 6 to 7 per cent yield?"
asked the manager of one of the largest Investment houses in the city, repeating tho
question put to him.
"If I thought that these bargain prices were soon to glvo way to higher prices
I would, but there Is where I differ from some other people. I don't think we will seo
much higher prices for that class of securities for some tlmo to come. Yet, I am, of
eourse, assuming that the second Issue of Liberty Bonds will come along as expected.
"Now." ho continued, "from my experience in selling tho last issue of Liberty
Bonds I have concluded that we need not expect to sell any of tho next issue to the
very 'little fellows,' as many of them bought tho first Issue through their employers
on payments to extend over many months, and as they have not completed their
payments for tjie bonds yet, naturally, they will not be In line for any more
"Take, for instance, the millions bought by tho employes of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation. Of course, they don't count for this city, but they Illustrate In a big
way what happened In a smaller way in many of tho Industrial establishments here
Hm be months before many of the employes of the Bethlehem Steel have finished
their payments. but Uwy a share of the
next Issue and the big savings Institutions must also take a lot of them.
AringureU." he continued, "in order to make room for what will be absorbed
by the banks "they will have to part, from time to time, with their high-grade low
tm alls and municipals and for that reason I believe the prices of such securities
will remain as low or lower than they are now for a long time to come.
"nd I am coUrmed In that opinion when I see Bethlehem Steel paying S per
tat for money and 6 per cent commission to get it. That is a sign that cheap money
to not In sight." , ,.., .
U. S. May Try War Certificates
It is said tho sale of war certificates In Canada bus brought to date more than
110 000 000 These certificates were placed on sale at all banks and postofflces. They
ell for 8.60 each and return the purchaser $10 at the end of three years

FINE AT TARGET PRACTICE
By HENRI BAZIN
Special Correspondent of the Uvrxiso Ltnom
with the American army In Trance.
AMnmcAN Ktin.n HnADQUAnTnns in
KUANCK7, Aug 19.
In a country that topoBraplilcally nnd
In nature of soil Is almost nn exact replica
of a famous front In this wnr, I saw today
two battalions of American troops creating
a sccteur of trenches under Instruction
from two battalions of French Chasseurs.
They have been nt tho Job for four days
steadily nnd have tiullt first, second and
third linn trenches seven feet deep with
communicators between them, tho whole
covering a depth of perhaps COO yards nnd a
length of 200, which means nulto somo
digging
In addition tn the Irenches proper, nbrls
ngalnst bombardment wero built, each
tMilcal of the leal thing to bo found In
nn active portion of the front. TJicco nbrls
are twenty feet deep nnd linvn entrances
with wooden door casings hh If for regular
use against tno Hoche, They have but
ono point of teal difference from many
In use on this front, that being not quite
the same depth Into tho ground, nnd con
sequently with fewer steps Hut the steps
nro ns solidly constructed, nnd ns I de
scended ono I could tlnd no relative differ
ence from the huudiedH I have Msltod nt
different portions of this ftnnt from Vpres
to Alnce They needed only electric light
equipment nnd hunks In the officers' quar
ters to take one back to the Somme ns I
saw that front many tlmc3 during the last
year.
The Sammees display an Interesting
psychological side of American nature In
building these practice secteurs. At the
outset, when It Is nothing else but "dig,
brother, dig." they nro not at nil Inter
ested. Tint ns tho work shapes Itself Into
a tnnglblo something their Interest In
ci eases, until nt the finish they aro ns full
of etithuslas.nl over their work as over a
baseball game. An Interpreter Is assigned
to every sixty feet (!f tho wotk
Tho country In which these particular
practice trenches are built Is of rolling
nature. Dlreotlj nrtoie inc nrsi lino mere
arc nlmost ripened fields of wheat gi owing
tin a gentle rlso of ground. Directly be
hind tho third line there Is n ravine nnd a
brook, upon the other side of which the land
lakes a sharp rise. This latter gives an
Ideal emplacement for mitrailleuse, batter
ies. With tho American troops massed to
one side, they wero given a practical object
lesson in tho methods of modem warfare.
Tho Chasseurs lu quantity of three compa
nies took refuge In tho abrls' nfter which
the mitrailleuse and six 75s opened flro
upon the newly mado trenches, Just ns If
they were tho trenches of the Ilochc. It
did not tako long lieforo tho hard labo- of
four ilayn had been blown to ruins and
the ttencnes demolished to such extent as
to leave but here and there a scmblauco of
their fevv-mlnutc-bcforo perfection. And
then the Clms-seim came out of the abrls
smoking the Inevitable cigarette? every man
ns good as new, despite tho fnct that in
tome Instances he wns unable to step di
rectly Into tho floor of n trench from tho
nbil steps, since It was but a. mass of
shell-scarred earth. I5ut tho abrls were ai
good as ever, having well stood tho test
of their construction.
American officers and Snmmecs were then
taken through nnd shown just what hap
pens lo a trench nfter bombardment and
just what nn abrl menus in the digging war
turned loose upon the woild by Germany in
August, 1011.
I happened to he standing near n. certain
Irish sergeant, whom I have referred to In
a previous story from this camp.
"What do on think of that, fa'ars?" I said.
"Sure, sir," he replied, "I think that nn
open, fair flshl with it illle nnd a bayonet
on tho end of It has that beaten. Hut, bo
gorry, times Is changed, Indnde, what with
dlggln' holes In tho ground nnd wearln' false
faces nnd Iron hats. And since they has, sir,
well, bedad, well fit ourselves to 'cm and
go to it i'or the honor of the flag with all
that's In us. The next time tho fellow
under tne digs ono of thlm trenches he'll
dig for all he knows how, or he'll know me
small authority."

SUPREME COURTS
IN BIENNIALS)
WASHINGTON', Aug. 30.
Charging attempt to gag those who seek
to lay a heavy tax on war profits, Senator
l.ii Kollettc. today prevented unanimous"
ugrecment by the Senato to fix a date ror
voting on tho revenue bill.
"If debato on this bill Is lo bo choked
off, let It be through nppllcatlon of the gag
rule lately wiltten Into tho rules of the
Senate." said I.a l-'ollette
Senator Simons, who lato ycstcidny In
troduced a closure petition, today sought
tho ngrcement so ns to mako unnecessary
tho use of the closuro rule.
"It Is preposterous," said I.a Toilette, "to
mako BUch request Just after tho Finance
Committee) has Introduced nn amendment
to the war ptoflts tax section of tho bill,
which totally changes Its aspect. I object
!-trentiously to nny agreement for n vote
until nftor tho wnr profits and income tax
sections hno been disposed of.
I.a l'olletle's stand, If persisted In, makes
Mrtually certain nppllcitlou of closure on
Kilday. This would bring a vole on tho
bill not Inter than next Wednesday.
HAPS MO.NT.Y Ht,At'Ki:ilS
Opening tho light of Miuthern Democrats
on war prollta taxes, Senator I'ndervvood,
Alabama, denounced "money slackers."
"I have no patlenco with tho money
slacker," ho said. "Tho innn who nt this
hour hesitates to respond with his dollars
lo his country's need, tho man who wnntB
special privileges nnd special exemptions,
Is entitled to no place In this republic ex
cept ono that will bring on him tho con
tempt and scorn ot tho American people.
"it Is equitable nnd Just that a great
share of the burden of palng for the war
should fall on the gieat wealth of the na
tion. Clreat wealth Is prepared to meet a.
le.isonnblo strain. On tho other hand, with
wnitlme costs pyramiding, with the price
of hlH dally bread going higher every hour.
It Is moro and moic dlfllcult for the plain
cltUen of the I'nlted States to mlse money
to support his family
"Therefore, every dollar of consumption
taxes you put into the bill falls on a family
Already In distress."
I'ndervvood compared taxes to bo paid by
numerous companies under tho committee
plan to show "Inequalities" ln the bill.
"Some corporations would bo penalized
half their earnings," said I'ndervvood, "while
tho Pennsylvania lhillrond, for Instance,
would pay but 3 per cent.
"Kor bomo renson, unknown to me, the
committee has evolved it plan unknown In
the financial vvmld They rejected tho
plain and simple plans In use In other eoun
tries. In those countries business knows
what It Is doing under tho war tax system.
Nobody would Know heic.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, X. Y., Aug. 30.
War work has won the battle for the bal
lot of Nw York State. This was the unan
imous opinion of tho leaders of tho women
suffrage party as they met today to con
dude their great pre-election campaign
conference.
Bncked by tho unqualified Indorsements
of President Wilson, Governor Whitman.
Mayor Mltchel and both of tho great politi
cal parties, the suffragists were moro con
fident than ever that this Is "victory" year.
liut the Impressive record of war-time
achievement plied up In reports from various
section chairmen is the source of most sat
isfaction to the leaders, as they believe that
this work has demonstrated to the voters
the advisability of entrusting the ballot to
tho women of the State.
The State committee went Into executive
session this morning to complete tho cam
paign plans that will be presented to the
conference this afternoon. In order that
the plans to secure the soldier vote this
fnll may be perfected, SIr. Flora MoD.
UeniBon, president of the Canadian Na
tional Suffrage flub, has been called Into
tho committee's council. She told them to
day of tho manner In which Canadian men
lathe trenches were won for suffiage. Mrs.
Denlson has three sons In France.
Wide difference of opinion exists as to
what should be done regarding tho actions
of the militants at Washington. The leaders
here In conference tre n unit In denouncing
such methods'. However, some oppose even
their recognition by a resolution of protest.
Others favor an out-and-out denunciation
of tho plcketcrs and still others would de
nounce the militant methods but recognlzo
the sincerity of the "misguided" women who
compose the Congressional Union,

Later In the afternoon I saw three com
panies of Chasseurs spring at given order
out of their trenches, scale their sides In a
Jiffy and rush up n ravine's side to a hill in
nttnek They did It In the same spirit of
dash that I l.ave so often seen on the actual
front, carrying the objective without resist
ance, of course, since none existed. Half nn
hour nfterwaid three companies ot Sam
mees did the same stunt. They wero not
quite so ridlck as the pollus. but tjint was
to be expecfd fclnce they had never done it
before, and the Chasseurs of this entraining
division are cracks with the real campaigns
of this wnr to their glory and credit. But
they did it very well Indeed, nevertheless,
on tho first try, better on the second and
almost perfectly on the third. And they
did It as though they liked It. What Is
more Important, they did It ln a certainty
of deduction that when they do It In actual
warfare they will give a real American ac
count of themselves.
Their officers did not seem entirely satis
fied, because to tho American officer noth
ing counts but perfection In any work at
tached to holdlerlng. But the French offi
cers smiled all over their faces, and It
was easy to seo their tnoughts were In
harmony with the last words ln tho pre
ceding paragraph of this story. Ono to whom
I talked said to mo:
"lis sont epatant, vos Amerlcalns" ("They
are wonders, your Americans"). "In but
a little while they will mako as fine sol
diers as my Chasseurs, and ihat means
they will mako as fine soldiers as this war
has produced."
Before I came down to this camp I had
looked upon many a mitrailleuse squad at
work. But they had been blue-clad and
shooting at the Boche from a trench. So It
was something of a novelty to look upon
a brown-clad squad shooting in tne open at
a target. And there was a satisfaction ln
seeing them take to It ns a duck takes to
water and pepper that target full of holes.
Since It was but practice at marksman
Ship and concerted action by the squad, the
gun was bet upon Its tripod at a fixed place,
with the target, a black-and-white circle,
set up against an elnbanltment. An officer
gave the command nfter tho marksman had
squatted upon his low Iron seat, the first
and second feeders had taken crouching
positions to his left and the regulator and
extra carrier to the right. It, was straight
firing that means fixed updn a given ob
ject, and not barrage, or, In regular United
States, "distributed firing." The first feeder
paid In the strips, the second held a second
strip ready close to his mate's hand where
he could grab it In an Instant, the regulator
fixed the range and adjusted the discharger,
which expols the empty cartridge cases,
while the extra carrier held an ammuntlon
case all ready.
The target was punctured ln all Its parts
and when I examined It afterward, was
literally a mass of shreds. For the marks
man was a snarpsnooicr aim no cnciicuy
cracked his trigger as It he had been doing
It always. I am quite sure that this crew
of mitrailleuse men will go Into action when
the time comes with a confidence born ot
more than mere entraining experience, be
cause they showed me by their earnestness
that they would stand the gaff. I speak
of a particular squad because they were
the lait particular squad that I have looked
upon at mitrailleuse entraining. But all
the others were virtually the same.
