New York. Jan. 23.—The United
States Steel corporation paid to the
federal government more than half its
earnings in the final quarter of 1917,
according to a statement of t,,he corpo-
ration issued today,
Total earnings for that period
amounted to $59,724,123, after mak-
ing allowance for $60,950,"64 paid into
the government treasury as war in-
come and excess profits. Net income
for the final quarter was $ IS,035,.".4 i
and surplus for the same pciiod
amounted to $16,258,272.
This compares with total earnings
of $tiS,243,784, net income of $55,245.-
.<77 and surplus of $21,824,554 for the
previous quarter.
In keeping "frith expectations, the
directors declared an "extra dividend
of 5 per cent on the common stock In
addition to the regular common divi-
dend of 1} and preferred of 1J per
cent. Including a lied Cross dividend
of 1 per cent voted in the second quar-
ter total disbursements on the com-
mon shares for 1917 amounted to 18
per cent.
Total earnings for 1917 amounted
to $331,668,131 after charging off
$212,467,249 to government taxes, etc.
It Is expected this amount will he In-
creased to $235,000,000 when final re-
turns are made to Washington.
In 1916 when no appropriations
were made for war income and excess
profits the corporation's total earn-
ings were $342,997,092.
The statement for the last quarter
of 1917 also shows that $55,000,000
has been appropriated for expendi-
tures made and to be made, including
new plants and construction. The bal-
ance of surplus for the year amount-
ing to $52,766,021 compares with a
net balance of $90,681,962 reported in
the final quarter of 1916.
Analysing the fourth quarter of 1917
by months, December shows a falling
off of business as against November,
while November showed a decrease
•f almost 12,000,000 from the October
operations.

Amsterdam, .Ian. 29.— A big gener-
al strike in Berlin announced for Mon-
i day by leaflets distributed at the end
of last week did not -materialize, ac-
cording to advices from tho German
capital The agitation had only limited
success although the strike leaflets
were spread from house to house in
Berlin and the suburbs.
The trades unions refused to co-
operate and only in a few sections did
the factory workmen strike.
I'p until evening of Monday, accord-
ing to a Berlin dispatch not a single
incident connected with the .strike vvus
reported, in Berlin and environs the
total number of those who failed to
appear for work was 90,00ft, most of
j them youthful workers of both sexes,
London, Jan. 29.—A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company under
date "f January 28, says that a thor-
oughly trustworthy report from Kiel
declares the workers in the torpedo
factory at Fried richsport struck on
Friday afternoon. In consequence of
this a number of men's leaders are
being called to Join the army. The
employes at the Gernmnia dockyard#
struck Friday the dispatch adds.
London, Jan. 29.—Dispatches from
Switzerland and Holland describe the
general strike in Berlin and other
parts of Germany as much more se-
rious than indicated by the official
dispatches sent from Berlin.
According to Central News advices
from Amsterdam nearly all of the
workmen of the Daimler, Boersig,
Ludwlg and General Electric works
are on strikes. Trade unions are not
at the head of the movement, but sev-
eral trades are almost completely at a
standstill.
The independent socialists have car-
ried on an active propaganda during
the last few days, the dispatch says
and the movement appears to be very
serious and in Industrial centers meet-
ings are prohibited.
It is particularly grave in the sub-
urbs of Llchterfelde, Ileringsdorf and
JohaiHsthal, where electric works and
airplane factories are situated. Strikes
also have broken out in Khineland and
Westphalia.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says the
movement is directed against the de-
lay in passing the Prussian reform bill
and the agitation conducted by tho
fatherland party. The same paper
adds that the strike has spread to the
Bochum mining district, nine miles
from i'Xsen.

Notwithstanding the fact that deep
snows still cover the ground the Ital-
ians have carried out successfully n
spectacular drive against the A vis tr it-
German lines in tho mountain region
of Northern Italy and captured strong
positions and more than 1,6.90 men.
The blow was delivered oil the
Asiago plateau sector and the enemy
positions penetrated were tenaciously
held notwithstanding strong counter
attacks in which the Austro-Germans
were repulsed with heavy casualties.
The Berlin war office in admitting the
reverse to the Teutonic allied lino as-
serts that the Italians repeatedly tried
to bring up reinforcements to widen
the breaches they had made in the
enemy front but that their efforts
failed and 360 Italians were made
prisoner.
That airplanes aided materially in
the fighting, full details of which have
not been received, Is indicated in the
Italian official communication which
asserts that during the progress of ihe
battle the enemy lost twelve aircraft.
Victory of Significant-.
The victory of the Italians at this
particular point is of considerable
significance because of the fact that
lately since the enemy's strong at-
tempts to break through from the hill
region to the Venetian plain failed
around Monte Tom ha and sectors
west, the Austro-Germans have been
bringing up reinforcements in the
Asiago district preparatory to a further
(series of attacks to reach the low-

Annapolis, Md., Jan. 29.— William
Jennings Bryan made a vigorous plea
for the national prohibition amend-
ment this afternoon before the tem-
perance committee of the legislature.
There is a sharp close fight on the
amendment in the Maryland assem-
bly and in connection with it the uriti-
saloon league is endeavoring to put
through an amendment for tmniediate
state-wide prohibition.
Mr. Bryan contended that the object
of the proposed referendum was post-
ponement to give the liquor business
one more year of life.
As to the doctrine of states rights,
Mr. Bryan pointed out that the state
of* Mississippi, the home of Jefferson
Davis: Virginia, the home of -Robert
E. I-ee, and Stonewall Jackson, and
South Carolina, the home of John C.
Calhoun, all champions of state rights,
had ratified the amendment.

117ASHIN(!TON. Jan. 29.—Expansion of America's fighting
" forces beyond their present streiiRth depends upon such
factors as events abroad and the shipping situation, Secretary
Maker said tonight in disclosing that tile war department has
not fixed a date for another draft nor even determined how
many new men shall he called. When Mr. Raker told the sen-
ate military committee yesterday the United States would have
a million men in Franco early this year and that in all a mil-
lion and a half could go across if ships could he found to carry
them, he referred to the divisions now in training camps and
those already in Europe. Future developments will decide
what additional forces will he sent.
The secretary made clear today his opinion that if events
made it necessary to call out more than another increment of
halt a million men, the executive's authority to draft men for
units other than reserves
would he exhausted and further legis-
lation by congress would be necessary.
He said, however, that under the au-
thority to call two increments of line
soldiers of 500,000 each and such ad-
ditional numbers for recruit battalions
and special units "an the president
may deem necessary" the second draft
might bring out In all as many as a
million men. The senate committee
today tentatively approved legislation
proposed by the war department to
provide for the registration of youths
attaining the age of 21 years since
June 5, authorizing the fixing of
quotas 011 the basis of class one of the
new classification and empowering the

cial industrial or other work. Provost"
