mnu iusian situation ana Count
main toplci of discussion on tlio Street and In banl.s anil hvoUcvV
ofllcc? yestcrdny. Tlio opinions expressed crc, as usual, marled. Ono
a try astute broker bulil, when asked what he thought uould be the
effect of Von IteitllnE'x tpeech, tlmt lie had not up to that moment
rcid It, but the fact that ho li maklrs or has made a ttpccrh moans
that peace h Just so much nearer. It 'opens the door, he continued, for
Another expression of opinion from the reprcentatlves of the Allies,
ltd that Is. a Rood deal.
Another broker raid lie had read Von Ilmllnij'H apecch. or hikIi pari.
of it as had been published, and at the risk of uslmr the one overworked
Tiord ihtcu expressed his opinion of It ho would eay "ciimouflase."
Tlio ono thins that Mand, out In connection with CSiimany today, lie
uld. above ecry other consideration, l.s that tier word ntnl actions
don't register.
Nevertheless, the matket In tlic closln; houi1 showtd .1 tlrmnci
which many looked for ut the opening, but were d!appolnte 1 at not
flndlns.
The preponderance of opinion on the .Street l that the present
market Is essentially a "peace" market arid anything that rings of peace
will act favorably, while the prcpects of a Ions war will have tho le
er.e effect.
Speaking of the posaibllitles of u Ions or u hoit ai. nil', of the
best-Informed brokers on the Sticct tald cscrdaj tl.at about a month
so ho was speaking to :i military man whose nanio lias been in tlio
papers frequently. This man had been In Kurope on the front lor some
time When lie camo over hero ho was ery pei.-luilstlc over tlic situation
nd cave tho Impression that lie expected a .a cry Ion-; war. IIo went
to Washington, xald this broket, and whatever he haw or whatoer lie
heard, ho camo back an entirely different man. He made the poilllc
statement that tho war would bo ovir this ytai.
Japan's Siberian Move Applauded
There was also considerable ((peculation on the .Stlcet todj ,ia tu
1)10 entrance of Japan Into the war by way of Plbciia. It mot with
ecncial approval on all side, some soln? so far as, to nay that such a
move meant tho end of the war.
Ono broker bald ho had been looking lor bitch a nioe lor a long
time, and added: "AVIicn T know for certain that Japan has landed her
Hoop', in Siberia I will look for peace In a few months'."
When asked on what he based his opinion, he said: ''Japan Is one
of the world rawer. In tlic final i.caie negotiations sho must and will
bo represented. Japan docs not want to get Into this war and the Allies
aic not anxloilR. as they would have to shoulder a Breat deal of tho ex
pense. Hut 1 have alwa.vr, looked on Japan as belli;,' prepared to conn
In somehow at tho end of things, lor the dessert, as it were: so when
I hear of Japan getting ready to come in f look for the end -hortly alter."
Kcw Excess Profits Board
A dispatch fiom Washington to the effect that a boaid of t.Cn-s
piotlts receivers, made up of about a dozen teprcsontatlves of special
Industries or business, will shortly be created by Internal Ilcveuue Com
missioner Itoper to make rulings on specific queitlon.s involved In the
returns, was read with Interest.
When tho excrnti profits ta became a law c had a. board of txoc
profits advisers, whoso duties wero to formulate plans under which the
excess protlts law could best bo administered. This board, it: collabora
tion with tho Internal llevenue Department, mado tho law morn easily
understood by lewrltlng It without In any way altering Its lull force
and meaning. Now this last board which is to bo appointed is to pas
upon such cases as no general Intel pretatlon ot tho law tould possibly
cover. I'erhapi tho next move will be the uppolnmcnt of another bo-ml
to levlcw tho reviewers.
It is Hald that a riumbci of problems have come up in the admlit
isllatlon of tho law In which business concerns nro llndln' the regula
tions too general In their scope to lit specific cases. In different busi
nesses sur.h terms us "invested lapltal," "earr.lngH," "prollls." etc., nro
capable of different Interpretations, and it will be the jjus'riess -'f this
boaid of lcvlewcrs to decide on each specific case brought bcfoie it.
Healing that James Katttay, the head of Hie income lax department
ot tho Guaranty Trust Ompany or New York, v.us to bo In I'hiladel
phla today on his way to address an important meeting of llnanciein in
Pittsburgh on the lncomo tax law. the iieads of u number of financial
Institutions In this city requested Clayton IJatiks, tho local representative,
of the Guaranty company, to arrange for an Informal meeting whole
they could consult him on some of the pioblems which thoy aro meeting'
in carrying out tho law's piovlslons. Mr. Hanks has done so by Inviting
those requesting the Jjvtcrvtevva to meet Mr. ttatf.av today at an In
fo mal luncheon at tho Kacquet Club.
Mr. Kattray has been addressing a. number of meetings icccntly.
Including a most successful one i Uairlsburg, I'a.. where ho mot the
member of the Chamber of Commerce and tho Insuianco UndeAwiiteia'
Association.
Du Pont Company and Chevrolet Stock Deal
Contrary to tho genorally accepted opinion. It was said l a well
known broker vcsteiday, whoso Inside knowledge of tho conditions mo
generally accepted as correct, that It Is not the members of the du I'ont
' family, but the du Tont Company that is su heavily Intctested in tho
Chevrolet and General Motors Mocks.
V u also hald that the stock of lire General Motors owned by the
Chevrolet Motor Company will go to tlm stockholders cf the Chevrolet
concern in the shape of a general dlstilbutlon when tin. elimination of
the company us a holding organization Is completed. Whon the (Jan
eral Motors completes its purchaso of tho Chevrolet assets, it is said
the latter company will have 782,881 shares of General Motors In its'
treasury, which is equal to one and one-seventh shares of Goneral
Motors for overy share of Chevrolet outstanding.
Germany's Huge Demand on Russia
It may not generally be known that the Indemnity of J4,lioo,000,000
1 in gold demanded by Gonnani from Ilussia in addition to territorial
i ncqulsltlons Is almost one-half) of the world'H gold supply, It will bo
much easier for Germany to take possession of 1'oland, ('outturn, and.
Ksthonla'than it will bo to collect this gold Indemnity.
It may bo that Germany may tal;o whatever gold sho can get at
' present and endeavor to collect tho remainder through customs re
' celpts, taxes, etc.

THE LIBERTY IS DIFFERENT
Because of its flexible motor nnd short-turn-. j
ing radius it is particularly desirable for town
travel, while its power, easy control and com-
fortablc riding make it ideal for touring.
There is a difference in the way it rides and
drjves.
Vou are invited to drive the Liberty! and see
and feel for yourself this difference.

YELLOW
DOVE
Like a wraith from the night, the huge
yellow air-p!ane swept back and forth across
the Channel careless of capture, defiant of
danger. Its every appearance was the prelude
'to a new Teuton attack.
That it had a secret landing-place in Eng
land was as certain as that the man who drove
it carried secrets filched from the War Office.
But where was the hidden hangar? Who
was the mysterious pilot?
George Gi
Author of "Paradise Garden" and "The Bolted Door"
has woven a fascinating story of love and
mystery around the exploits of the yellow
Taube and its unknown pilot.
The long arm of the Prussian secret ser
vice, the network of spies intent upon securing
Britain's innermost secrets, the efforts of an
American girl to foil Germany and save her
lover, the daring plan to beat the Boches at their
own game these form the foundation for the
most thrilling romance of the war yet written.
