GREAT PROFITS
MADE IN COAL
IN ENGLAND
LONDON, MAY 17— By A. P.—
Testimony concerning enormous pro
fits made by various British collieries
was given at the inquiry of the Coil
Mines Commission by Albert Emil
Davies, general manager of the Bank
ing Corporation and a writer on fin
ance and economics. He stated that
1,000 pounds invested in 1903 in shar
es, then quoted at par, of a certain
company would have earned dividends
equal to about 3 800 pounds and would
now be salable at 5,500 pounds.
In the case of another company he
said that “for the ten years ended in
1918 the dividends paid were equiva
lent to about 243 percent of the in
creased capital, or over 300 percent on
the actual capital.”
The witness said that in most cases
the extent of profits in coal had been
obscured by the capitalization of re
serves or rather readjustments of cap
ital.
“By these methods and by divi
dends,” he testified, “the most success
ful companies are able to return to
their shareholders every few years the
whole of the share capital originally
subscribed by them.”
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHimmnfivmiiinii
Mr. Davis said that if the coal re
serves of the country were pooled, the
enormous profits made and partially
concealed by the large companies
would be available to meet part, at
least, of any additional working costs
that might be necessary, and that tne
incentive to build up reserves for sub
sequent distribution, which obscured
the enormous profits actually being
made, would disappear.

KENNETH MILLER NOW
DIRECTING Y. M. C. A. FOR
THE CZECHO SLOVAKS
CHELIABINSK, RUSSIA, May 17—
Kenneth Miller, formerly head of the
John Huss settlement at New York
city, is now directing an American
Young Men’s Christian Association en
terprise at Cheliabinsk which is great
ly appreciated by the Czecho-Slovak
troops. Having lived in Bohemia he
knows what best pleases the Czech
army and so he established a sausage
factory and bakery*. The sausage fac
tory* is turning out tons of sausage
and does a business of 300,000 rubles
monthly. The work is done by twenty
fivo German and Austrian prisoners.
Every day the bakery is making
eight thousand of the rolls so popular
in Prague. Everything is sold at cost.
In this practical manner, Mr. Miller
has “made good” with the Bohemians
and people generally. It was at Che
liabinsk that the Czech-Slovak troops
inaugurated their campaign against
the Bolsheviki and Magyars..

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 160 miles from
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as if
nature had anticipated the need of a gateway through
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and
which in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography for the building of a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
the interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons of the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
this port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
flow through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
and in return will come the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the
NEW YORK OF ALASKA.

surrounding this city, write to the
