STtEL BOARD'S ACTION
CONSERVAUVE WARNWG
BYI A. FLEMING.
Financial and corporate interests,
as well as business men generally, at
tach great importance to -the action
of the board of directors of the
United States Steel Corporation,
taken yesterday afternoon, when it
voted a reduction of 1 per cent in the
quarterly wctra dividend payment/
.from 3 per cent to 2 per cent. m
The business world looks upon the
high-;?"1e men, headed by Judge
<iary, constituting the directors
of the largest American corporation,
as about the wisest aggregation in
the country, and accepts the action on
the dividends as a warning toward
conservatism, more* potent in effect
than the action of bankers in de
manding larger margins on industrial
loans.
The net earnings for the third
quarter showed a material falling
off?$20,000,000?^-largely due to the
diversion of a much larger per cent
of the earnings a&ainst taxes than
was expected.
Net earnings of $(>*,000,000 for the
third quarter were confidently ex
pected, as compared with $62,557,000
for the previous quarter. Before de
duction of taxes the corporations
earned practically $145,000,000 for the
quarter against $153,000,000 for the
previous quarter.
War taxes chargeable to the quarter
directly fotaled $56,987,000, b"ut the
board set aside $101,087,000, including
an additional $45,000,000 as a taxation
covering the nine months of the year'
on possible pending legislation.
But it is a fact that a cut was made,,
not the extent*ot" it that counts. It is
a suggestion of readjustment of labor
and prices of material after the war,,
when war orders shall cease to be the
basis for perhaps 60 per cent of the j
.activities of the nation. ?
Other corporations may be Jnflu
enced.by the steel board's action. Con
servation of cash resources seems 4
vital necessity.
Navy Subscribes Over $10,000,000.
The. syndicate of ten banks formed
to handle the subscriptions of the
* commissioned and enlisted personnel
of the United States Navy for the
fourth liberty loan have been in
formed that subscriptions will total
about $10,250,000, this being 100 per
cent increase over first estimates
made to the banks and $2,250,000
greater than the largest estimate yet
ifiade. ?,
It means that the banks will have
to purchase $5,000,000 more bonds,
and that this service, as all rendered
in connection with the liberty loan,
will be on the low basis of 4Y< per
cent.
It also means an immediate payment
of $1,060.000 for the initial payment;
$2,000,000 more November 21; and like
amounts December 19 and January
16. with the final payment of $3.000<
000 plus accrued interest from October
24, on January 30 next. I
The additional subscription will j
bring the loan close to the $50,000,000 i
mark.

had any effect on the inarket this

of the directors, of the steel corpora

a 13 per cent'basis instead of 1.7 per

, In the first two hpurs of the ses

The action of the steel directors was

wise market judges may have sensed
it, as indicated by. the. action of- the
market'yesterday. There was no leak;
there never is in that board.

fog in this city have made "typical
Influenza weather" the health depart
ment stated today, in reporting another

Flagg and Brown Sepzodooe Gen
eral's Coal-Saving Slogan at
Navy Department
"Back; up Gen. Pershing! Coal is vltfl
to victory. Save it!"
The coal-saving-slogan sent acroas
the water some months ago by Gen.
Pershing, directing attention to the
needs of the allies for the coining
winter, was painted by James Mont
gomery Flagg of New York, assisted
by 'Arthur William Brown, an illus
trator of note, beside a bigger-than
life .portrait 6f the leader of Amer
ica's fighting armies, today on a
signboard in front of the Pennsyl
vania avenue entrance to' the State,
Wa> and Navy buildiijg.
Flagg and Brown left New York!
last night, where the pair had finished
th^lr work in connection with the
fourth liberty loan, and arrived In
Washington this morning to work on
the -coal-saving picture ander the
auspices of the educational division
of the fiiel administration.
Shortly afWr 12:30 o'clock Dr. Harry
A. Garfield federal fuel administrator,
arrived in front of the painting and
expressed himself as 'much pleased
with the work of the artists. Mr.
Flagg started work on the sign at
11:30 o'clock this morning and an
hour later had -hair of the portrait ot
Gen. Pershing painted and the outline
"of the message blocked in. The model
lor the portrait of the general was
E. A. Abbott of Chicago, a civilian
here on war work, who togged him
self up in an officer's -uniform and
stood on the platform in front of the
artists. The whole sign will be finish?,
ed late this afternoon.
Flagg and Brown, prior to cftming
to Washington, had worked in cities
all over the country in the interest
of the liberty loan. Perhaps their
greatest feat was the painting of an
immense liberty loan poster in front
of the New York Public Library.
SAYS HUNS STILL TREAT
PRISONERS INHUMANELY
"No Good to Talk to Such People,"
Sir George Cave Tells House
of Commons.
LONDON, October 30 (British wire
less service (.^Germany has flagrantly
broken the rules of international law
In her treatment of British prisoners
of war, declared Sir George Cave, the
British- home secretary, in discussing
the question of prisoners of war in
the houSe. of commons yesterday. Some
of the German internment camps, he
said, were reasonably well organized,
but there were other camps where con
ditions' were almost, unspeakable and
where inhumane treatment almost past
belief went on.
These things were going on today;
I and the evidence the government had
obtained from lately returned prison
ers was very much on the same lines
as previously. Working parties of
British prisoners were beaten, tor
tured and made to work when they
were ill. Everything was done to
break their spirit, but. Sir George
added, the enemy had failed in most
cases.
Sir George believed that if any arm
istice with either Germany or Austria
Hungary was reached the government
would take steps to see that one of
the primary conditions would be that
all prisoners of war in enemy coun
tries would be immediately and un
conditionally released. He added:
"It will do no good to talk to the
people who do these things. We have
got to take them by the neck and the
throat and punish them so that it will
be an example for generations to
come." ?
