FORGIVE ENEMIES IN MAKING WILL London.—“I die as a Christian, thanking all those who have been good to me, and pardoning those who have done me evil and slan dered me so greatly.” These words are from the British will of the Dowager Princess of Monaco, who was Miss Marie Alice Ilenie, of New Orleans which dis poses of $ HO.000 worth of proper ty in Great Britain. The dowager princess was the second wife nf the late Prince Albert I, of Monaco, and was di vorced by him in 1902.

Ge-man Profits On « Products Decrease That Nation’s Industrial I 'ft* Nets Smaller Returns Since World War Period Washington.—With average net; nrofits of 10.5 per cent on capital invested in 1913-1914. German c>m panics in the year ending June 31. 1925 showed profits of but 4.4 ner cent, according to a report to the department of commerce. “Of the total number of com panies. fit) per cent with 40 per cert of the total capitalization, fail ed to pay any dividend, although 65 per cent showed nrofits.” Rich ard Eldridge of the division of rec-ional information said. “The greater number of com- i panies failing to declare dividends i however, had a capitalization of names with capitalization between j 1 000,000 and 25.000,000 marks showed the highest percentage of dividends declarations." An analysis of stocks quoted on I the Berlin Bourse said that meas ured according to the yield on the market value the companies so studied and in existence both now r.rd before the war, averaged 4.(5 per cent in the first half of 1920,' as compared with 5.8 per cent in the first half of 1914. “This decline becomes more striking when it is considered that general interest rates have risen to about 10 per cent from a post war average of about 4 1-2 per cent," Eldridge raid. “The neces sity of building up operating funds wiped out by currency inflation has caused share companies to sac rifice a portion * of possible divi dends.” Eldridge added that although the market valuation of German stocks averages considerably below that of pre-war, present quotation may be considered proportionately high, in view of the fact that the average yield on domestic bond is sues has advanced to about 10 per cent. “Present high levels of quo‘a tion,” he said, “are the outcome of some measure the heavy inflow of foreign capital on the Berlin Bourse, and the diversion of li quid funds into stock investment, btrt in a large measure the favor able results anticipated from the present consolidation of German industry, and important agree ments in basic industries which are being negotiated between the principal European countries.” German industry is in the midst of rapid readjustment. The changes dated from June 1925 at the com mencement of the liquidation of the Stinr.es group. This situation has been characterized by horizontal fusions of principal producers into one or more groups, with the ab sorption of smaller firms or their elimination through bankruptcy. Such a shift has been evident in coal, iron and steel, chemical, ma chinery and many fiishing indus tries. The background of this movement includes the loss of for eign markets, growth of new com petitors abroad, increased indus trialization of various countries, ar.d finally the losses from the war and inflation periods which disor ganized production and wiped out the greater part of German li quid capital.
