took them as a matter of course. There
were many inses whcie the enlisted
man's helplessness wns taken advantage
of, but I do not think It happened in
an larger proportion that waa Inevit

The Spirit That Hurt
It is in the spirit of army legulatlons

to be found. It Is n spirit that per

After the Initial attack I saw iloreus

and at fust I thought tliev were dead,
too, but thev were not They had
follen from sheer exhaustion nud lav
unconscious in the licit and reck for
hours after th fisht.
The point of this story is this: Every
ferlous action wns foreshadowed by un
remlttnnt nnd apparently useless fatigue
and the men understood It was part of
a theory evolved In the realm of the
high command. This theory put, forth
the proposition that men driven to the
pitreme of wretchedness made the most
1 rlennerate fighters, Whcthei such n
theorj was ever verbally formulated I
do not know, but it is absolutel.v in ac
cord with the spirit of militarv regu

perience of the First Division.

must distinguiidi between ciicumstnnces
(war on foreign soil), the s.vstem (the
spirit of military regulations) and the
officer as nn individual.
Rigid Discipline Demanded
War on foreign soil demanded a rigid
discipline, especlnllj as our troops were
raw and in contact with the laxer life
of an unfamiliar civilization. But this
brought about a comparison with the
discipline of other armies and the re
sult was irritation.
We were the only soldiers (outside
of the zone of the armies), whose pri
vate habits were supervised. In every
cafe were posters telling what we could
drink, what we could not drink and
when we could drink it. The rub came
when the French soldier at the snme
table ordered cognac while we had to
be content with sour wlue,
All this wns the outcome of circum
stance nnd natioual attitude, but it pre
disposed the soldier to resentment. This
resentment was natiirnllv transferred
from the ciicumstnnces to the officers
who cnfoiced the regulatiou. This came
about nil the more quickly because the
officers were able to satlsfj themselves
in these matters and the privates were
not.
There were other dissatisfactions that
grew out of the circumstances of war.
War is no child's play and a thorough
duty with the army only In la technical
sense. Let it be said, for the demo
cratic instinct of American officers,
that man.v of them disrcgaided this
order at the lisk of court-martial.
Here is an extinct from nnother order
issued to the Fifth Field Artillery dur
ing the occupation of Oermany:
"Hemember it is very difficult to kill
a man from overwork aud very easy
to kill a horse."
This order had reference to the cares
of horses, and the statement Is doubtless
true, but it breathes the very essence
of the spirit under consideration. As

We should call special attention to the following :
The business has been uniformly successful.
The management is unchanged.
The product is now being successfully marketed with orders in excess of
the Company's ability to supply.
The new money is to be used for the purpose of increasing the volume
of business, particularly in the tire department.
We summarize from a letter by Mr. John TenneyJn.President of the Company.
Earnings
The annual audits of the Howe Rubber Company, Inc., of New Jersey,
show average net earnings for the past five years of $29.60 per share on the
Common Stock outstanding, after allowing for all taxes and Preferred divi
dends, and $27.94 for the year 1918 after paying the full 7tt Preferred dividend
and taxes. With the additional capital resulting from the sale of
securities as contemplated, I predict for the new company earnings on the
Common Stock in excess of $12.00 per share before taxes are deducted.
Summary of Principal Preferred Stock Provisions
The Preferred Stock, in addition to the usual preference in event of liqui
dation, has a 3 Sinking Fund, exclusive voting power in event of the divi
dends being one year in arrears until they shall have been or can be paid in
'full; a provision limiting payment of dividends on the Common Stock that
would reduce the surplus below 10 of the par value of the outstanding Pre
ferred; is callable at 110 and accrued dividend, which is cumulative from Oc
tober 1, 1919, and is convertible at any time prior to its being called into
two shares of common for each share of preferred.
Concerning the Preferred Stock Mr. Tenney writes:
"From my knowledge of the business, with which I have been associated
from the beginning, I believe the Preferred Stock to be well secured both as to
assets and earning power, and, I am of the opinion that the conversion
privilege on a basis of two shares of Common for ecch share of Preferred will
before long prove very attractive to holders of the Preferred Stock."
Alt legal matters in connection with the formation of the new Company and
issue of its Stock are subject to the approval of Messrs. Whiting & Moore, Attorneys
and Counselors at Law, Newark, New Jersey.
We recommend and offer for sale, subject to rejection or allotment in whole or
part, when, if and "as issued and received by us
Preferred Stock at 93 flat

With the privilege of purchasing the same number of shares of

An Awkward Fix:
And the Way to Keep Out of It.
Building is awkward work. You never
have enough space, or enough time, or
enough men or if you get enough men,
then they are always in ejich other's way,
and politely waiting (at your expense)
for each other to get through, before they
begin.
Lumber is awkward stuff. It's bulky, heavy,
rigid and hard to handle. The lumber that is
wanted first always comes last, or else it is at
the bottom, with all the other lumber and $ lot
of bricks and stuff piled on top of it, because
there was no other place to put it.
Yes, in building it's easy to get into an awk
ward fix, but you can just as easily keep out
of it, if you begin right. Find out first which
lumber dealers carry the largest stocks ; second,
which ones have an efficient traffic department ;
r and third, which have a prompt delivery service.
Maybe an experienced business friend can
tell you of a lumber concern that has all three.
Some clay you'll build. If y,ou want the work
finished on time, see that the lumber comes
from LLOYD.

HERE i an office building that is one tenth of a mile high- h
34 Doors and 12,000 outside window.
5,300 people do business here every day.
All pipes and boilers in this steam heated buildine are insulated
with Carey 85 Magntsia and other insulating materials.
Engineers estimate this insulation saves 1,000 to 1,800 tons of
coal per year.
The eal consumed for heating, lighting, ventilating, vacuum clean
Ina, fire protection pressure, and enough elevator mileage to send a
car three times around the world -is less than J4 of n ton per year for
each user of the building.
Carey insulation applied to the hot air, steam or vapor system, o
ANY SIZE BUILDING from a SIX-ROOM HOUSE up, will save
just as BIQ A PERCENTAGE of the COAL BILL.
It will save about ONE THIRD OF YOUR COAL, and will quick
ly pay for itself.
The engineers of this building and of the Union Passenger Station,
Washington, D. C, The St. Regis Hotel, New York, and other great
buildings, had MUCH at stake. They chose CAREY insulation for
its greater efficiency. You can't go wrong if you follow their example.
We make no charge for consultation on how to save coal.
