22 The Hero—ST EWA RT —The Destroyer Heroic Deeds a Century Ago Will History Repeat Itself? I-sued b> tlu* \av> League of the rnitcd States, uoi Sixteenth street, Washington. I>. C. There's a big job ahead of the young American naval officer whoj l omniands the I_\ S. H. Stewart ifi he equals the record of the man in whose honor his ship is named. The IT. S. 8. Stewart is a destroy er. and much is going to be expected of destroyers in the winning of ibis war. for it is largely up to the tie-! stroyers to protect the transports audi supply ships that are carrying nienj and supplies abroad, the merchant; ships that must keep the allies sup- j plied with food, and make it possible: for the commerce of the world to,' •;eep moving. Americans have a right to expect] just as brave deeds in this war, just j as great victories, as in the past, i and every war in the past has pro- ( duced its heroes. But this concerns the l*. S. S.; Stewart and the man for whom she! was named. The Stewart is a sister ship of the Preble and the proud record in the name she bears has been written; indelibly into the history of Ameri can naval warfare. Charles Stewart came into this! world while the colonies were tight-j ing for their freedom and within twenty years was an officer of the] new nation's navy battling for free-; dom of seas. . In 1798 he was appointed a lieu tenant. and years later, in command of the schooner Experiment, he cap tured two French schooners and a privateer. Fought Barliary Corsairs This training of the youthful Stewart for war proved of great val- j ue, as is shown in his later exploits, j When Commodore Preble sailed to the Mediterranean to end the piracy ot' the Barbary Corsairs, young Stew art was a member of the expedition and had an important part in the lighting. He was selected by Deca tur to help in the daring exploit of burning the Philadelphia and was active througout the Mediterranean campaign. But is was in the war of IS 12. when the famous ship Constitution affectionately called "Old Ironsides," won her laurels in a number of famous battles, that Charles Stewart, then captain, fought and vanquished two British ships and added further glory to the record of the Constitu tion. In the latter part of ISI4 the Con stitution arrived in Boston for a thorough overhauling after her bat tle with the Java. On December IS she sailed under command of Cap tain Stewart, and on February 20tli | of the following year, while cruising] :n the neighborhood of Madeira, two] sailes were sighted. The nearest] was the British frigate Cyan®, H4' guns. Captain Gordon Thomas Fal con: the other the sloop of war I.e-; * ant, 21 gun;-. Captain the Honor-; ; ble George Douglas. The Constitution bore down upon ] the enemy and opened fire at five o'clock in the afternoon but the shot] fell short. The two British ships; tiied to get windward of the Con stitution. with the intention of de laying the action until after dark! I when they hoped to cripple the Am erican ship. Remarkable Battle Failing in this, the British ships] formed in line, the Levant ahead] and the Constitution at six o'clock; openetl the battle with a shot be-j i ween the two. Then, with broad-j >ides. began one of the most remark able battles in history, a battle in' which one ship vanquished two andj never once during the entire engage ment exposed herself to the raking nr. i I Just a j 1 Piece 1 I 1 i PIE i ~. „ i IJ 1 here s no use talking Q B you can't get better pics | j anywhere than at Daven- |] I ports," said a man the 0 □ other day.

For the first fifteen minutes of' the action heavy firing was contin- j ued, und when the smoke cleared i away the Constitution was abreast ! of the Levant, with the Cyane "lip ! ping up to deliver a raking fire. Captain Stewart, equal to the oc- { fusion, sent a close range broadside' into the Levant, and then, sceened , by the smoke of his own guns, pour- | ed a heavy fire into the Cyane as his ship gathered sternwuy. As the Levant attempted to go to i j the assistance of the Cyane the Con- ' stitution's sails wert again filled : and, as she shot ahead, two broad-' ! sides were sent into the sUwn of the ] j Levunt. The Cyane then tool; the! j brunt of the fighting and the Levant j I withdrew to make repairs. ; The Cyane attempted to get a . way. but the Constitution bore j short around and gave her a raking , fire over the stern. In a few min ■ utes, exactly forty minutes from the . time the first broadside was fired, j the Cyane struck. Captain Stewart then went in pur -1 suit of the Levant, as be passed" ] sent a broadside into her, then* ] swung around and raked her. When | j the Levant discovered the Cyane had j surrendered, she attempted to es-j j cape. But her wheel had been >lv>t 1 j away and her lower masts badly! j damaged, and within a half hour' she surrendered. ' On her way home with her prize j i the Constitution was chased bv a! British fleet and the Levant was ;e-1 captured from Porto Praya, but tlio Cyane was landed safely in New- York and was finally taken into the American service. 1 | The Constitution's arrival In Now York, after her last great tight, was I heralded with great joy. Captain] j Stewart was awarded a sword of, honor and a gold medal by Congress, j 'I he colors of the Cyane and Levant were preserved'and are still precious | relics at the Naval Institution at. Annapolis. The battle between the Constitu tion and Cyane and Levant proved the wonderful skill of Captain .Stew art in manoeuvring his ship. It was considered a difficult task even in a fight between two ships to avoid a raking fire, and it was avoided onb 1 by constant watching of the inove-l ments of the enemy ship and meet ing each move. It was all the more remarkable. then, that Captain! Stewart managed to avoid a raking' tire from two ships and at the same time sent into each the disastrous j fire lie avoided. The skill of Captain Stewart in ] this battle became one of the fam ous chapters of history and even yet j is studied and discussed among nau- I tical men. Captain Stewart spent! ! many years in the raval service, at' I last reaching the rank of rear d-j ] miral. General Lewis Attends Funeral of American Dead in French City ! Paris, Thursday.

FRANCE TdEND A MORATORIUM Will Abrogate Ruling on House Rents in Effect Since War Regan Paris. —The moratorium applying to house rents which has existed in France since the beginning of the ] war* is to be abrogated. Tlie French j Parliament has lively discussions on j the subject daily without arriving at anything definite for an excuse j for either abolishing or sustaining it. The public—and there arc two distinct elements of th'e public; that which collects rents and that which pays rent—has its own views and ■ expresses them. This will doubtlssss 1 aid the legislators. For the moment rents in France are like bad plays in the theater —j they don't produce receipts. The! small landlord says he can't pay | taxes and make repairs if he does i not get his rents, and many of the; small renters say that they ha>e no| resources with which to pay tiiei rent. The Government, originally! recognizing, the possibility of this; as a result of the war, clapped on ihe moratorium, and all but the; landlords were satisfied. The moratorium applies as veil; to business or manufacturing rent als as it does to dwellings. Thisj has brought up a'debate as to which j of these classes should be sustained j if the other was to be abolished.' The small shopkeeper or manufac- j turer manifestly might tlnd himself j in a position where he could meltej enough to buy food and clothing i for his family and even to pay house j rent, but if he had to pay rent fori bis business premises he could not' pay the house rent, l.andlord "May Protest Either Way | The landlord in either case is hardly likely to approve one ruling or the other. As it is under the 1 terms of the moratorium neither the j dwellinghouse landlord nor he of! the business premises can collect if the locataire can make a good case as to why he should not pay. The landlord can take measures to get him or her out. to break the lease, but the court judges are not liber-; ally disposed to the landlord's side! of the case, and accordingly he has: not always found this practicable, I and then again he was in many eases ] held' back by the fear that he might not find another tenant. More than all else, if the tenant was mobilized—and about live mil-' lion of him are—he could not bei I touched until after the war, when if] | he could pay he could be called in ; j referee and made to pay at least; I a part of what he may have owed | 1 in back rent. With the possibility off this in view many landlords foresaw a di -1 minution possible in the rents that | i hey might have considered due as I a whole and have sought to bargain | and make new leases since the mo-1 ; ratorium, which affected only the; original contract, went into effect.! If this bargain was made since lhat ( fateful August day in 1914 the ten-1 | ant was bound to adhere to its pro-I visions as he would any other con tract in peaceful times. A cut of a quarter or a third or even a half the landlord a sure chance of getting in something regularly ea--h quarter. This as the better part of valor many landlords adopted. Not always was it possible, and not always could the small landlord, whose sole income perhaps was from the rental of his, single tenement house, do '.hi*' and still be in a position to buckle the budget himself. But it was done in many cases and seems by far to have been the best solution. Howl by Realty Men Probable All rent paying and rent collect ing Paris is agog as to what the ] provisions of the decree will be : which will abrogate the moratorium. It it wipes out all past debts lor rent there will be a howl from the i landlords, though it is a sine uqa non of the rules of war finance that! each has to pay his part. One possible solution of contention j between landlord and tenant in the new law, which has already passed j the Chamber of Deputies, is that the tenant is free to depart if he chooses, whether back rent be paid or not, leaving the actual settlement to be arranged in conformity with th. | future regulation. This gives the! tenant a chance to move into more; modest' and less expensive quarters if his landlord will not come down,; which in many cases is a physical! injpossiblity if the latter in turn is to meet his own obligations. During the F'ranco-Prussian war there was a complete exoneration of rents in Paris during the siege, and it is possible that there are some who may be in a position to pay ; under the present moratorium but] ! who have not paid in the hope lhai i something may turn up to favor of; i them. From indications and from: the'accepted standard of financial; economics it does not appeal, thougn, that any but those who are actually mobilized or their widows have any chance now of profiting by a com plete exoneration. In fact the whole base of the discussion In the pres ent law lies with those who .nay have the manifest right to exemp tion as compared with those who have only a quasi right or no right at all to consideration in this new moratorium legislation.

There are no bonds ahead teen million dol- of it Back ofit> however is common l ars Nq bonds stock, having a book value of ap proximately four million dollars. ahead of it. For many years, previous to the con solidation, the principal constituent of the Republic Rubber Corporation paid 8 per cent on its common stock. The consolidation has effected economies of operation and provided the capacity to take care of a 50 per cent increase in the business. The requirements of motor truck and pleasure car manu facturers, in connection with huge war orders, together with the normal increase in its business, have placed the corporation in position to reap the full benefit of its added manufacturing facilities. We, therefore, con fidently expect the Republic Rubber Corporation to make a remarkably strong showing. At present it is earning largely in excess of its preferred dividend needs, and in our opinion, this stock is a very desirable investment. The permanency of the rubber business is fixed for all time. No com modity, with the possible exception of iron and steel, has such universal application to the needs of mankind. The mechanical uses for rubber are almost numberless, and the permanent demand of motor vehicle manufac turers for pneumatic and solid rubber tires has cemented the rubber indus try on its present secure foundation. We believe the stock of a well conducted rubber enterprise offers the investor unexcelled security and great opportune ies for profit from in creased values. We, therefore, recommend the preferred stock of the Republic Rubber Corporation as a safe, conservative investment, yielding 7 per cent income; free from normal Federal Income Tax. Upon request we shall be glad to send our booklet, giving detailed information about this desirable stock. jgS| The Geiger-Jones Company jgS Investment Securities Canton, Ohio C. L.
