"VVorld of pi nance
VATSOH'S WEEKLY
1 MARKET LETTER
significant that Thomas W. Lamont
advises the American people to pre
pare for a long conflict, su; '.as "vic
tory will soon be in sight if -we once
realize that we must prepare not only
for 1918, but for 1919 and 1920 war
campaigns."
Railroad developments of
eachlng Importance were contained
the "surprise" proclamation by the
lesldent taking over the treat trans
portation system of the Nation for
he period of the war. He may soon
d dress Congress, asking for cotnpen
atlon and remedial legislation. Under
hA HuoceKif ul suldance of the ap
pointee of the President there Is
irojnise for the railroads to do bet
C and with the experience which
he Administration has had In hand
ing the labor problem, this would
eem to Indicate that that Important
ha.se of the question can likewise be
aken care of during the term Wash
ington shall operate the carriers.
There could hardly have been a
Wore opportune time for such an an
nouncement by the President than
midway In the holiday season. It cer
tainly helps Individuals and corpora
It ions to make a better showing for
the publlo and themselves when they
take uo their "window dressing." we
know of Individuals who had expected
a short time ago to find In making
Inventories of their assets on the first
of January, 118, that their resources
had been cut practically In half, in
other words, the value of the stoefes
and bonds carried by them for a per
iod of years as Investments had ap
parently depreciated nearly to per
cent. But what occurred this weex
will help them to make a mora cred
(table and satisfactory report of their
assets likewise the savings banks, In- J
suranoe and trust companies. In fact
all who own securities. This action
caused a marked Improvement in
prloes, and creates a more stable con
dition generally. It will be of mater
ial aid to the governatent In financing
the war and m tax returns.
All of this brings us back to the
point we have frequently made In the
past i. e., sentiment plays a most im
portant part in Wall Street as well as
outside of it. There can hardly be
any doubt that these railroad develop
ments will greatly help to restore In
vestment confidence in their securi
ties, many of which are attractive and
offer good buying opportunities on re
actions. Speaking in praise of the
government railroad control the pres
ident of one of the Nation's largest
industrial Institutions, says: "This
war Is one that demands absolute co
operation from all. Business and the
government must work nana in nana.
I. am already beginning to feel better
and that 'pull together Idea, I am
sure, will show Itself from now on
as never before." Charles S. Mellon
says the government control of the
railroads will prove the salvation of
the New England lines, adding: "The
President's action was solntely nec
essary."
Now that the railroad situation has
been settled basically, attention Is be
ing directed to the fact that the pro
ceeds of the Liberty Leans are begin
ning to be expended in a way that Is
aggressively stimulating many lines of
essential .business. Very little money
has left the country. It has been
practically all turned back Into Amer
ican Industries. We think this will be
reflected In greater and greater busi
ness activity, which Is certain to fur
nish a huge traffic for the carriers.
In turn, the railroads must buy heav
ily of new equipment, and the rail
way equipment companies, lnoludlng
ear and locomtive concerns, should
enjoy Increasing prosperity. Their
securities must be considered very at
tractive. ' Latest reports Indicate that
the fixed prices for steel and copper
metal will stand. This Is expected to
stabilize those trades. The oopper
Shares are believed to be very much
oversold.
Peace rumors are looming large on
the international new horlson. The
Central Powers are apparently begin
ning to realize that they are in a los
ing game and want to quit. Their
masters are being forced to make pro
posals, according to various reports,
tut England, France an America seem
to be committed to the agreement not
to negotiate with the present Imperial
German government; and it may be

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiimiinil:
New York, Jan. 2 Opening.. A
general air of confidence character
ized the opening of the new year on
the Stock Exchange. First quota
tions were only moderately higher,
but these were immediately succeeed-
ed by an impressive Inquiry for ship
pings, steels and coppers, which lifted
those shares 1 to 3 points. Among
the specialties the features were Gen
eral Motors at an advance of 11 points
and Texas Co. at 7. The rtse was
In full swing at the end of the first
half hour. Liberty bonds were un
changed. Noon Railroads were the only
prominent Issues to hold back in the
active movement of the forenoon,
losing one to two and a half points.
Gains In war issues and allied equip
ments were generally extended, ship
pings, metals and specialties also in
creasing their advantage. Selling
for profits provoked some sharp re
actions toward noon. General Motors
and Texas Co. yielding four points
each and some of the steels and
equipments one to two. Liberty 4s
sold at 97.20 to 97.10 and the 3 l-2a

CASINO
The general public will have an op
portunity, at the Casino, Monday ev
ening. Jan. 7 to hear Capt. David Fal
lon, M- C, tell the thrilling story of his
experiences with the British and Aus
tralian forces at Gallipoli and In the
trenches of Belgium and Northern
France.
Captain Fallon Is not a novice In
the war game. He has served under
the British colors for thirteen years,
and during that time has seen service
in China, India, South Africa, the Dar
danelles, and on the Western Euro
pean front. He can exhibit the scars
of fifteen wounds. The bomb that
ended his active career as a soldier
was, strange enough, thrown by him
self. It had been hurled at him by a
German, and In attempting to throw
It back at the enemy before it ex
ploded, he was caught In the flare
back and terribly maimed. For three
days and nights he lay In a shell hole
In No Man's Land. The story of
Capt. Fallon's efforts to prolong his
life until rescue reached him Is one
of the most thrilling personal inci
dents of the war. For this exploit he
was given the Military Cross by King
George.
Captain Fallon had exceptloncl op
portunities to see the results of Hun
atrocities in Belgium and France, and
he gives details of cruelties practiced
upon wounded soldiers, Inoffensive
civilians, women, and even children.
that should convince even the most
obdurate and obstinate Pacifist that
the United States is fighting for hu
manity against a foe that has appar
ently discarded all laws of mercy.
Captain Fallon calls his graphic
talk "Fighting Through Hell," and it
Is evidently well-named. Pictures
taken on the fighting front serve to
illustrate many of the Incidents of his
story.

Because he was so bold as to ten
der a ten-dollar bill in payment for
a drink In a saloon at Pembroke and
Willard streets, last night, Anful
Galnofsky, of 752 Broad street, -was
punished to the extent of receiving a
severe beating at the hands of thugs,
and of being Yobbed of his money. .
The Bight of Galnofsky's money
aroused the cupidity of men standing
near him In the saloon, and they fol
lowed him when he left. In a dark
spot they assaulted him, knocked
him down, kicked and pummelled
him into a state bordering upon ln
