SUSPENSION OF U. S. STEEL DIVIDEND
The decision of the directors of the United States
Steel Corporation, announced after the close of the
Stock Market on Tuesday, to suspend dividend pay
ments on the common stock, was something of a
surprise to Wall Street speculators as evidenced by
the slump taken not only by the Steel issues but by
most of the other securities when the market re
opened for business next day.
At the opening of the Market yesterday Steel
common was freely offered at 48, —a decline of
more than three points from the last sale before
the passing of the dividend was announced,—
which represented the oft'ieial minimum quotation
permitted for this issue on the Stock Exchange
under the special regulations of t hat body adopted
to prevent too precipitate declines during the pres
ent disturbed financial conditions, due to the war.
Later in the day, however, the stock sold as low as
44 on tlie unofficial New Street market where Stock
Exchange rules have no bearing, and at'ter the close
of the market hours the Stock Exchange authorities
established a new minimum price for Steel common
at 4:J. This latter move was apparently a wise one,
designed to protect other securities tending to de
cline under the influence of Steel.
While the passing of the Steel dividend was a
surprise to many investors and doubtless caught
napping many of the more speculative class of
traders, the directors of the Corporation took the
sane, conservative course in ordering suspension of
payments. It must be remeinbered that when a
dividend is declared it is supposed to be based 011
the amount of net earnings of the Corporation in
the quarter gone by and does not, as least in theory,
have any bearing on the Corporation's future pros
pects of earnings.
Everybody knows that the steel business in gen
eral has been very light in recent months. The
Corporation might, as corporations often do, have
taken a chance of better earnings in the coming
quarter,—for which it is true the business outlook
is considerably improved,— and have paid the divi
dend for the last quarter out of accumulated sur
plus; but to have done SQ would have resulted in
the impairment, to just the amount of the dividend,
of the Corporation's assets, and this would have
tended to make dividends of the future less likely
to be declared.
The wise and conservative plan, in these times of
disturbed financial conditions, undoubtedly is just
the plan that the Steel Corporation's directors
adopted on 1 uesday when they passed llie dividend.
It was based on the sane principle that a Corpora
tion's dividend payments from quarter to quarter
should be based on the Corporation's business for
the particular quarter under consideration and not
on the possible amount of earnings that may come
1o a Corporation in a future period.
DISCIPLINE IN SCHOOL STUDIES
A symposium was recently conducted by a col
lege professor 011 the disciplinary values of various
college studies. The results were not especially
startling. One would hardly expect them to have
been. It is about as useful to figure out the relative
merits of school subjects as to estimate the respect
ive values of chessmen. Both calculations can be
made, approximately, but when certain conditions
vise, calculations become of no avail. A knight
HABRTSBURO STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1915r
may sometimes be worth more than a bishop; an
algebra task more thau a Greek lesson.
The teachers taking part iu the symposium ex
pressed little preference, on the average, for any
one subject or group of subjects as providing most
discipline. It seems that many of them were par
tial to branches which they happened to be teaching,
and the total opinions therefore depended largely,
on the proportions of teachers in different college I
departments who expressed views.
One striking fact about the symposium is that
the teachers considered of such great importance
the disciplinary value of work outside of college as
compared with that of prescribed courses of book
study. The general opinion of the instructors was
that a student could be more thoroughly disciplined
by actual contact with the world's every day activi
ties than- by poring over most college text books.
That opinion is rather a common one, but it is not
often that teachers boldly acknowledge holding it.
It must be remembered that merely disciplinary
values were under consideration. Were the cultural
values of college studies to be discussed, opinions
would be very different. No earnest teacher would
depreciate the worth of college work as a means of
developing intellectual faculties, for instance, of
encouraging originality.
Different school studies have different disciplin
ary, cultural and practical values, to be sure, and
each has them in different proportions for different
individuals. It does not seem that numerical values
can well be fixed so long as students are as vari
ously constituted as they are. It is doubtful if
any student could tell just what subject in a college
curriculum is doing him most good iu a disciplinary
or any other sort of a way. As suggested by the
self-made business man in his letters to his son,
however, the student can tell if a subject is doing
him harm, and perhaps that is all the discernment
necessary so long as the other branches are bene
fitting him to greater or less degrees
WARFARE BESIDES THAT WITH GUNS
It is of interest to note some of the many ways
in whieh the belligerents are opposing each other
aside from the actual firing of guns.
The trade war between fen gland ar.d Germany
has assumed large proportions. The Powers are
fighting vigorously in the economic field. England
has fairly well succeeded in driving from the seas
German commerce to the value of five billions of
dollars, and has forced German firms doing busi
ness in its possessions, to liquidate.
Strict measures have been taken to prevent Eng
lish capital from being used in any way that might
directly or indirectly be an aid to the Germans.
Even in the smallest details, precautions are taken
to keep money from reaching the Kaiser's land
through channels of English trade.
The war is being hotly fought, too, on paper.
Different nations have been so eager to shift the
blame for bringing on the conflict and to excuse
themselves for their own participation in it that the
battle of words has become a lively one and il might
even be interesting if it were not getting so monot
onous.
It. is also on paper that the cartoonists have been
making war. Caricatures of the warring sover
eigns have been rather plentiful in European .jour
nals. Ihe Kaiser, especially, seems to have come
in for much ridicule in English newspapers, al
though the latest accounts are that King George
has ordered the suppression of all insulting ear
toons of his kinsman.
The fighting of armed men on European battle
fields is the clash of merely the military forces of
nations, and although it is commonly understood to
constitute the war. it appears to be only one part
of the great conflict which is in progress.
King George was among the kinsmen not present at the
Kaiser's birthday party.
We believe Governor Brumbaugh will "make good," but
if he doesn t it will not be because he talks too much.
After all, will it be a case of making the coat fit the
cloth or of making the taxpayers produce""enough cloth to
fit the coat?

St. Georges Is in Ruins
St. Georgos, one of the points where
the Germans and Allies hiave fought,—
not for miles ol' territory but for feet,
almost inches, is a ruin to-day. More
than that, it is a heap of deibris. Other
towns and villages in Flanders are
marked' at least by standing walls. St.
Georges is a wilderness of bricks, mor
tar, charred roof timbers and tiles.
'There is no-body who knows exactly how
many times the Allies and Germans
have fought in the place, and hoiw often
it has changed hands. The French anil
English have it to-day, and the Ger
mans to-morrow.
* * *
Village on Island To-day
| St. Georges is located about two
i miles southeast of Lombardzyxte, and
j formerly marked the point where the
' Yser and Plasschon canals connected.
I To-day the village is an island in the
"inundation" district. A small cause
nay gives access to the place. Over
this German sailors and marines have
again and again attacked the place to
the accompaniment of German artillery
tire and the rattle of tho machine guns
of the Allies. On one occasion German
and Allies heavy artillery bombarded
the place simultaneously, anil machine
guns sent hails of bullc>t» into it from
three sides. Why—nobody knows. The
Germans suspected that the Allied
troops were in St. Georges, and the Al
lies suspected that the Germans were
in it, each side taking it for granted
that the bombardment itself was a sham
maneuvre.
Machine Guns in Action
For some days the English had tho
place, keeping it practically by virtue
of the many machine guns they had so
pot'tod that the narrow causeway wai
siwept by their fire. This machine gun
fire in and about St. Georges never
stopped. The slow "tack-jtaek" of the
English guns, and the more rapid sput
ter of the French "mitrailleuses" kept
up day and night. Responsible for this
were the German sailors and marines
who continued in their efforts to retake
the village.
Unable to Reach the Wounded
When the wind swept over St.
Georges it carried with it the smell of
decomposing bodies. In the stillness
of the night one heard from there the
groaning of wounded—of men who ven
tured into or near the place, were s>hot
down, and then were found to be be
j yond the reach o't' these who would sue
j cor them. To venture into the open
| along the causeway meant either to die
or be wounded. The very heaps of
debris seemed animated by the desire
to carry further the destruction of
which they are the result.

Winter Hard on African Troops
At night also one heard the inees-
I sant coughing of the French African
I and Anglo-Indian troops, who seemcJl
J unable to stand the rigors of the cold
■ and damp climate of Flanders. On the
! outskirts of the village stood a little
! house, upon whose floor had been challk
ed the words: "Franctireur—already
| disposed of." Not l'ar from the d'eor
; lay the body of a man with the fingers

German Praise for Russian Soldiers
The Russian soldier is a better fight
er than is popularly believed, accord
ing to the letter of a German officer,
serving with the armies in Poland.
"Near L we took about 1,-
000 prisoners," wrote the officer. "So
the report said. As a matter of fact
we took aibout 2,000. The flrsit lot was
more or loss a thousand, and then, dur
ing the day, a hundred were gathered
here and another hundred there.
"It is true that out here we do not
think much of a thousand prisoners,
but it seems to be uiiifferent out in t'he
West. I read for instance that we hal
taken 221 prisoners there, and no
doubt, somebody said one Frenchmau
or an Englishman is the equivalent of
ten Russians. But that is not true.
Among the prisoners taken here tiliero
aro many well-built and strong fellows
with intelligent faces, who believe the
stories of 'broken-down' Russian tol
diers so generally heard, according to
our way at thinking. The trouble is
that he is too much a part of a ma
chine. If the Russian soldiers had our
leaders and commissariat, then France
would 1 have been able to do without her
other allies."
KAISER PRAISES SCRIBES
AT FRONT ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Berlin, via London, Jan. 28, 10,25
A. M. —Emperor William, speaking to
the war correspondent at the general
headquarters in the field said:
"Good morning. I pay you my com
pliments. You write famously and I
thank you for it. You accomplish ex
cellent things and I read your articles
very gladly. Your reports have a high
patriotic tone and it is of great value
to our men in the trenches when we can
send them such matter. My principle
—-and it applies to this war also —is
the words of old John Knox, the re
former in Scotland, that 'one man with
God is always in the majority.' "
The Emperor's 'birthday was ob
served at headquarters yesterday with
a simple divine service held in the field.
The auditors included Prince Oscar, the
fifth son of the Emperor; Prince Fried
rich Leopold, of Prussia; Prince Wai
demar, the eldest son of Prince Henry
of Prussia; General Falkenhayn, the
chief of staff; Cancellor Von Bethmann-
Hollweg; Admiral Von Tirpitz, the

"AMERICAN RESCUE WORKERS"
Adjutant Lew Smith and Wife Doing
Good Work Among the Poor
Editor Star-Independent:
Dear Sir—"There is no place like
home.'' How wonderful sound the
words of this beautiful song to the
person who can call one, no matter how
humble it is, his own. But it awakens
only sorrow in one who is either far
away from it or has none at. all, going
as a wayfarer through this bleak world.
How many mothers are sitting every
day at twilight near the fireside and
thinking of their faraway sons, and
the words of the song, "O, Where's
My Wandering Boy To-night," go
through their minds. And then at
once she receives a letter from him,
in which he tells that he is well cared
for in one of the homes of "The Amer
ican Rescue Workers," which gives
great relief to that mother and brings
gladness to her heart.
The motto which Adjutant Smith
and his wife, the officers of the home
in this city, have taken for their won
derful work is the word of Jesus
Christ himself, "Peed My Lambs,"
and to this they have kept up, without
questioning nationality or religion. Not
only have they fed, but also have kept
and clothed many a wayfarer and some
of the poor in this city. Adjutant
Smith has made many of them forget

Ladies! Try This! Darkens Beauti

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
ridded, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant: remove every bit of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to-use
tonic, costing about 50 cents a large
bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,"
thus avoiding a lot of muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it does it so naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hr.irs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair bocomcs beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant, and
you appear years younger. —Adv.
