'"EXTRA" DIVIDEND CUT
BY STEEL CORPORATION
| Bedacy* Prom 33, Effective From
First Quarter of 1917, to $2 on
Common Shares.
NEW YORK, October 30.?Directors
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion at their quarterly meeting yes
terday reduced tho "extra" dividends
I on the common shares from the three
dollar rate, effective since the first,
I quarter of 1917, to $2. The regular
I distribution of 1% per cent on the
common stock and 1% per cent on the
preferred were voted as usual.
I The reduction In the "extra" divi
dend waa doubtless impelled by the
further enormous appropriation of
$101,987,347 for account of federal In
come and war excesa profits taxes, as
disclosed by the quarterly report.
This exceeds the appropriation of the
prevloua quarter by slightly more
than $11,000,000.
In the three quarters of the calender
year the steel corporation haa charged
off to this item the vaat sum of $224.
288,795, these chargea ranging from
I $31,585,198 in the first quarter to the
heavy appropriation made today,
slightly in excess of 70 per cent of
the. quarter's total earnings.
Total earnings exclusive of the In
come and profits taxes amounted
$144,948,936, which is less by about
$8,325,000 than the high record at
tained in the June quarter.
Analysis of the statement issued to
day shows a steady decline of earn
ings by months, August falling de
cidedly under July and September
showing a further decrease.
Net income for the third quarter
stands at $32,069,392. aa against $52,
399,483 In June, while the surplus for
the quarter, after payment of divi
dends, is reduced to the nominal sum
of $3,840,561, against $19,017,375 three
months ago.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY AT
THE FRONT. October 29.?Different
cities In northern France in oela.
bratlng their freedom from the Ger
man yoke. Yesterday was I411e'3
turn. At the sMie time the first pas
senger train from Paris In mors than
four years cams In. President Poln
care arrived early In the morning, to
gether with other French and British
dignitaries, all of whom were re
ceived with enthusiasm by great
crowds of people living in the city or
surrounding regions.
Uore Important than the arrival of
the first passenger train was the com
ing to Lille on Friday morning of a
train of freight cars loaded with food.
It is an immense problem to revictual
the conquered territory since the Ger
mans destroyed all means of trans
portation.
The bridges wrecked reach up in
the thousands, and It is taxing the
efforts of the British to maintain the
supplies for the army. The people In
this region have been forced to live
upon the stock of rations left or hid
den from the Germans, together with
small quantities furnished thus far
by the allies.
Pood Prices Are High.
Already the British have furnished
some e&ttle and some cold storage
beef was delivered Saturday. This is
an absolute luxury, since but few of
the civilians have tasted beef for.
several years. Here is a sample din
ner at a little hotel: Vegetable soup,
one-egg omelette, horse or mule meat
and an undressed salad for 10 francs
($2). Bread is extra, costing 2 francs
(40 cents), for three slices, cut from
a black pasty loaf. Cofiee is sold at
2 francs for a small cup. with one
lump of sugar and no milk. Wine is
now 25 francs (|5) a bottle.
In most of the villages in this re?
glen all dogs and cats have disappear
ed, as the Germans took them for the
purpose of killing and boiling them
down for fats. The Inhabitants could
keep their dogs by paying 35 marks
(about 19) each for them.
Charles Damont, president of the
Rubalx food committee, who has been
working with the American relief
committee, and to me today: "Without
the food coming from America the
Seople of northern France would not
ave been able to live. The Germans
requisitioned all the foodstuffs, the
crops in the fields, the fruit in the
orchards and the vegetables in the
gardens, leaving nothing. If the Ger
mans had merely cut off access to the
outside world we would have been
able to live on our own produce. Our
food came from three main sources:
First, from America, which supplied
four-fifths of it; second, from neutral
countries like Holland, and. third,
from our own production, such as we
were able to keep from the Germans
or such as the Germans permitted us
to use.
Boasted When Ships Torpedoed.
"The American supplies came first
to Rotterdam where they were dis
tributed successively to districts,
regions and communities. They were
apportioned among the people pro
rata. The food was of good quality,
consisting principally of beans, pork,
flour, rice and grease. I must say the
Germans in this region at least ad
hered fairly to all agreements. I did
not know about the substitution of
poor flour for American white flour.
At times the situation was very dif
ficult and above all when ships car
rying food were torpedoed, we' always
knew when this happened. The Ger
mans never tried to hide the fact but
seemed to exploit it.
"Only under exceptional circum
stances and very rarely were we per
mitted to ship food by rail. The con
sumers paid for all the food at fixed
prices. The indigent and ynemployed
received paper money from the city
enabling them to purchase food and
also other necessities. This money
was returned to the city treasury and
repaid to the needy, thus forming a
"You will notice how thin all the in
habitants are. Those formerly ro
bust and healthy are now extremely
weakened. The people of northern
France will never forget the Ameri
cans. To them they owe their exist
ence, to them they owe their strength
to endure for more than four years
and because of their generosity we
were able to maintain our morale."
SCANDINAVIANS OVERRUN
WITH RUSSIAN REFUGEES
Victims of Bolshevik* Regime Pre
cipitate Pood Crisis in Finland,
Sweden and Norway,
STOCKHOLM, Saturday, October
26.?The overflow into Scandinavia of
Russian refugees seeking an asylum
in Finland has created such a prob
lem that Dr. Hellner, the Swedish
foreign minister, has taken up the
question with Great Britain, inform
ing Great Britain that Sweden has
had to refuse to receive a new inva
sion of the Russians.
Thousands of victims of the bolshe
vik regime have fled into Finland
and have compelled the Finnish popu
lation to divide with them the al
ready meager supplies of food. The
food situation has become so serious
In Finland, it is reported, as to en
danger public health. Some time ago
the Finnish government asked .Nor
way and Sweden to give shelter to
some of the Russians.
Although food is scarce In Scandi
navia, a large number of Russians
were permitted to come Into Sweden
and Norway, but recently the govern
ments of those countries have been
compelled to inform Finland that
they could no longer permit the un
lucky Russians to enter. The housing
problem in Sweden and Norway alse
is very. bad. even if the food difficul
ties could be overcome by means of
increased importations from allied
countries.
In some government circles in
Sweden it is declared that the only
rational solution of the Russian
problem would be to send the whole
stream to America, as . Europe for
some time will not be able to feed
aad shelter the Russians. Most of the
refugees belong to the former well
to-do classes in Russia.
