Continued From First Pag.)
has said, but most of all they rained
on that weak poltt to the left.
Now French, "VK latins every rule of
nar," had not only drawn the lines of
his important Second and Third corps
very thin, but he had shot his last bolt
of reserves. All the reinforcements
available front England had been used
up in filling out units. 'This purely in
tellectual summary has taken no ac
count of the heavy cost in 1 fe and
limb of these British attacks.) The In
dian troops, hurried up from Marseilles,
had been rushed to the front. The day
when tbey arrived thn English forces
were hanging on by their eyelids, borne
one, I am told, looked back from a
trench and saw a solitary outpost, a
turbaned cloaked figure of the desert,
startling in the green, peaceful French
. landscape, riding over a hill. Back of
Mm nodded the turbans of the Sikh
cavalry, and the English in the
trenches, who seemed past emotion,
waved their rifle barrels and cheered.
But neither Indians nor French terri
torials nor French cavalry nor French
artillery seemed sufficient.
M ar May Tin a Decision.
Only the First Corps remained out of
action. An army does not move in a
day. While the Second Corps and the
- Third had been battering their way
through a -5-mile advance, the First,
under General Douglas Haig, was still
coming over from its old position be
fore Soissons. By the 20th they were
detrained and ready for the line.
There came that night a special mo
ment of decision for General French,
and on his decision, perhaps, rested the
fate of the war. He himself has stated
it undramatically in his dispatches.
Should he use the first to reinforce the
second and third, thereby securing the
ground won on the right? They were
drawn thin, the second and third thin.
Among the stories of that trying day
which circulate in London is this:
French had gone out to the lines, was
talkins to the line officers, as he some
times docs. "We can die, but we can't
hold out here much longer." said the
Colonel. "It's impossible." "I want only
men who do the impossible," said
French. "Hold!"
The second and third were doing the
impossible. If any military force since
wars began ever needed reinforcement
it was this one. But there was the
threat beyond Yprcs at the point be
tween the English left and the Franco-
Belgian right a place where the weak
spot in the bladder miKht bulge and.
bulging too much, break. General
French, witn tne air.- some one ns
said, "of a business man closing a deal,"
made his decision and turned in for a
little sleep. He chose to let the second
corps and the third continue with the
impossible. He sent the first corps to
the line about the city which has given
name to this whole series of actions
Tpres. They incorporated what was
left of Rawlinson's force; they prepared
to dig In and hold.
Crnclal Day Arrives.
Ten days followed in which nothing
decisive happened and everything hap
pened. The Germans rocked their at
tack from side to side, searching for
the weak spot. They gained here; they
lost there; but the lino remained virtu
ally as jt had been when Hala" moved
up'his first corps. The British held on,
and continued to dig in. These were
days of incessant battering and con
tinual losses; the hospital trains run
ning back to the base carried as many
as 4000 wounded in one day.
Then came the Slat the crucial day
tor Kngland.
The attacks had been growing
stronger; across the lines the British
heard the Germans singing as though
working themselves up, German fash
ion, to a Berserk courage; captured or
ders showed that the Kaiser had com
manded a great assault which should
clear the way to Calais and to Paris.
Before the sun was high, on that
morning of the 31st. a British aviator
volplaned down to his own line with
a wing damaged by shrapnel. He
dropped from his seat pale and shaken.
"A close call?" they asked. "It isn't
that." he said. "It's what I've seen
three corps. I tell you against our
llrst." So he jerked out his story. He
had seen the roads and ridges like ant
hills and antruns with men; he had
seen new batteries going into position;
he had seen, far away, the i-awling
Krrav serpents, wnicn were sun more
German regiments. going to their
alaughter. "And we're so thin from up
there," he said. "And they're so many."
Disaster Follow Disaster.
Hard on this canto hurried news to
headquarters from the front. The Ger
man artillery and a massed attack of
German infantry had broken the first
division of the First Corps, near
"Ypres: the division was going bark;
the French support was going back.
We must have reinforcements," said
the message. "I can send you my two
sentries." replied French. Disaster
after disaster followed. The Koyal
Scots Fusiliers, remaining too long in
a hot place, were for their 'ery valor
cut off. The Germans had found new
artillery, had found new artillery po
sitions, had shelled General Douglas
llaig's headquarters. A. shell had
burst in the house. Haig was outside
at the time, but nearly every staff of
ficer of the First Corps was killed
or wounded. The army up there was
almost headless was fighting as in
dividuals on primitive lighting instinct.
A day's march away from Ypres is
the ford where, 2000 years ago, Caesar
had his close call from the Nervil. That
was the battle where Caesar, snatching
a shield from a soldier, himself plunged
into the thick of things and, acting as
line officer and General all at once, ral
lied the Roman army. General French
lid the same in modern fashion. He
Jumped Into his automobile and rnshed
to the line of the First Division. He
had not so far to go as he thought. The
line had retired foir miles. Through
his glasses he could ite the close-locked
quadruple ranks of Cerman infantry
men attacking everywhere. Everywhere
the English were tiehtinK vaK '.j, oJt
without method. They were in to the
last man even the regimental cooks.
The officers -of Infantry and cavalry
were firing with the men. their servants
loading spare rifles behind them.
General French Omnipotent.
French, assisted by Haig, became a
headquarters staff himself. They say
that he risked his life 20 times that
afternoon, as his motorcar took him
from focus of trouble to focus of more
trouble. He gave an order here: he en
couraged an officer there. He rall'ed a
j,arni the broken i'lret. Division and
threw 4t at the flank of a German at
tack which was proceeding on the reck
less theory that the English were total
ly beaten. The Germans broke; the
British retook Gheluvelt, on the origi
nal line. On this start, and partly by
move after move of the closest and yet
most daring strategy, but partly by the
spirit of an army which begins to see
victory, French snatched back tne po
sitiona lost on that four-mile retire
ment and rested by midnight on the
original line.
The English had merely held, tech
nicallv. Really, they had won the cli
macteric action in that long battle
which must determine the future course
of this war. The cost of It was n
less than .he cost of other famous vic
tories. The Scots Guards went into
that can baisn 1100 strong. They cam
out but 73. And most of their ,ost
thousand went down that day before
Tpres. A regiment of the Qrenadie
Guards took 1350 men to the western
front. They had fewer than 300 when
the battle of Ypres was won, Most of
them, too, fell in this action or Octo
ber 31.
Victory Not Realised Then.
In old wars a battle lasted a day or
two; victory came In an hour, and It
was all over but the pursuit; tne
courier went forward t' the capital
there were illuminations and bell ring
ings. In this new war, no one. not even
the commander, may know the decisive
moment; the day of real victory blends
into days where the fight still goes on;
to none of these modern battles is there
as yet an end. October 31 was the de
cisive point of this action before Ypres;
but no one knew it then. The attacks
and counter-attacks, the digging in
went on. French troops began arriving
in force to strengthen and make sure
the line. '
Nevertheless, the Germans had one
more great assault on their pro
gramme. Ypres is the old historic capi
tal of French Flanders, and the British
observers noted a curious fact about
the operations against Ypres. However
heavy the German bombardment, the
famous old Cloth Hall, the most beauti
ful building of its kind in Flanders,
went unscathed by shells. It was saved.
we know now, for a special purpose.
Kaiser Wllhelm himself was moving
forward with a special force to a spe
clal assault which should finally and
definitely break the allied line at Ypres.
To do this was to clear Flanders of the
allies; and then, as by custom he might,
he intended to annex Belgium in the
Cloth Hall of Ypres. He came with his
own Prussian Guard; it was that guard
which, on the ISth. led another terrible
massed attack. It was no less vigorous
than the attack of the 31st, but the
English, reinforced now by the French,
met it better. Again the dense masses
poured in; again the very officers fired
until their rifles grew too hot to hold.
Ope Battle Lite Whole Civil War.
When, that night, the strength of the
German attack was spent the better
part of the Prussian guard lay dead
in a wood lay at some places in ranks
of eight deep. The second and lesser
climax was past. A fortnight more and
the line from La Bassee to the sea had
been locked as .thoroughly as the line
from Switzerland to La Bassee. It had
cost England 50,000 men out of 120.000
engaged a proportion of loss greater
than any previous war ever knew. It
had cost the French and Belgians 70,
000. It probably cost the Germans 375,
000. That 'Is a half million In all. The
American Civil War has been Called
the most terrible in modern history. In
that one long battle Europe lost as
many men as the North lost in the
whole Civil War. ,
It happened so close to the capital
of Great Britain that officers In a
hurry are now making the trip from
London to headquarters in four hours.
It happened In an age when intelli
gence travels by lightning. It hap
pened in a day of that age when every
mind in the Western world was await
ing hungrily for news. Yet the real
news the news that the battle of
Ypres was decisive, on the western
front, that it may rank with Waterloo
and Blenheim for glory and for effect
is' coming out only now. months
after the- event. In such strange times
do we live!

The lack of tonnage is etill the cause of
inactivity in the wheat market, and there
are no indications that conditions in this
respect will be bettered soon. Shipping men
believe that the British government's need
of steamers will be greater than ever In the
Spring months and therefore they see no
reason for expecting cheaper freight. At
the same time the foreign demand for wheat
Is good- and full prices are prevailing on
Xht. other side, as shown by the sales yes
terday of the cargoes of the Morna at 62s
and the Alice A. Leigh at 61a 6d, both -ships
having a third each of bluest em, club and
red wheat. But while Europe wants wheat
there Is no- way of setting it there, and
with the subsidence of local, trading prices
have sagged in spite of advances abroad.
The only sale on che Merchants Exchange
yesterday was a &0OO-bushel lot of April
forty-fold at SI. 38, which ii 1 cents less
than was bid for It on Thursday-. Other
wheat bids ranged from 1 to 4 cents under
Thursday's prices. Sellers prices were not
lowered in the same proportion.

NEW YORK, March IS. R. G. Dun &

of the country the reports are of trade
improvement, which, though slow and con
servative, serves to reduce the margin of
deficiency in production and demand and
to bring 'the volume of transactions close
to normal.
Prospects of an early Spring promote re-
tall distribution and stimulate the movement
of lumber and other building material,
with Dromislnc inatcations or more general
construction work. Activity in shipyards
continues.
The iron and steel trade fairly maintains
its recent rate of gain. In the textile mar
kets there Is steady Improvement, both In
wholesale and retail lines, but the busiest
mills are those occupied chiefly with for
eign oraers. ina snuu iraae is more quiet.
Wheat, corn and oats, vacillate in price

pects and export demand. Winter wheat
conditions give promise of another . heavy
yield.

T1IK WOOL SUPPLY IS Df SUFFICIENT
Great Uncertainty About Getting- Stocks
Through From London.
The fear that large Imports of wool will
bring prices down In this country Is un
founded, According, to Boston Fiber and Fab
ric. Reviewing the situation, that paper
says:
There is little or no speculation between
ealers and there remains evidence that
some of the smaller dealers who bought
heavily et the height of the speculative
period are now getting uneasy over their
purchases and It would not be aurprising to
see these small dealers shading prices a
little bit within a few weeks in order to
lighten the load they are carrying.
'Of course, no one believes that any break
prices from this source will affect the
upward tendency that ought to crystallize
sooner or later.
There Is not enough wool now to supply
the demand and there Is great uncertainty
bout getting shipments through from Lon
don, Australia and the Cape. In fact, the
uncertainty of getting foreign wools here,
even under the plan of the Textile Alliance,
is considered so pronounced, so far as quan
tity is concerned, that a number of dealers
predict that It will be at least six month
before the amount of wool so received will
begin to affect the market.
'This fear that permits will not be as free
as some' believe has caused a number of
American buyers who purchased wool be
fore and during the last London sales to re
sell it again to the English trade, and what
holds true of L-undon Is believed to hold true
of Australasia, and the Cape. One dealer
who Is reported to have sold foreign wool
that he purchased in Australia and then had
roshipped to London in the hope of finding
it easier to get a permit, "finally found It
more expedient to acll the wool in London
to an English mill at a profit of 10 cents
per pound. Stories like the above are com
ing to light every day, and this despite th
efforts which the Textile Alliance is making
to have the wool shipped over here."

DEMAND FOR HOPS AT STANDSTILL

It has been a long time since the hop
market was as quiet a at present. Abou
the only demand since the first of the year
was from England, and the shipping dfffi

tunatcly but few hops remain unsold in this
state. There are no indications that the de
mand will revive soon.
English dealers trade circulars, just re
celved, say:
Wild, Neame & Co. There has been t
fair inquiry during the week and prices are
firm without alteration.
Thornton & Manger There is no change
in the market. A small amount of business
passes and full prices are made. Stocks arc
very limited and growers firm holdew.
W. H. & H. Le May The consumptive
demand continues and stocks are being ab
sorbed. Values again show an advance on

Manger & Henley A very firm tone pre-
vaila and a good inquiry continues.
Worcester There is still a good Inquiry
on the local market and sales are readily

German Sugar Beet Area Decreased.
In commenting on the sugar beet situa
tion, Willett s Gray say: '
'Considerable reference has been made re
cently to the possibility of the German gov
ernment officially reducing the acreage to
be devoted to beet roots this 'campaign.
Advices were received here recently stating
that the government has officially decreed
a decrease of 25 per cent In the area to be
devoted to beet roots grown for sugar, and
that the acreage devoted to growing beets
to produce beet seed is reduced 50 per cent.
The large percentage of reduction in beet
seed area is accounted for by the fact that
Germany is a large exporter of beet seed,
which exports are now difficult. The de
cree regarding beet seed is important in itc
relation to the United States domestic beet
crop production of 191 6-17 only. Sufficient
seed is In hand for the largest crop, 1015-16,
ever produced in the United States."

Bethlehem Steel Advances Almost
Five Points -Additional Gold Im
ports Arrive From Cunada.
Banks' Cash Holdings Gain.
NEW YORK, March 18- Stocks today re
covered more of the ground lost in the
nriv iavM of the week, the list, with
few unimportant exceptions, showing marked
strength. The decision of the London Stock
Exchange to bring the American sharea on
Its list down to the minimum established by
the local exchange was witnout me uu
favorable effect anticipated in some quar
ters. In fact, the result was quite the re
verse, a moderate demand for our etocKS De
in o- mnnrftri from London.
Gains embraced all the leading issues, al
though United States Steel and union I'a
clfic were relatively backward. Advances
in thn ennnors were most substantial
announcement of a slight advance in the
price of the metal. Automobile issues were
more active and half a score of specialties
closed the day with gains of two to three
noints.
Bethlehem Steel was tne center 01 inter
est, however, rising almost live points on
total dealings of 38,000 shares.
More eold imports were announced, parny
from Canada, making a total of $5,500,000
for thft week.
Exchange markets as a whole were steaa-
ier cables and draf Ls on London rising
over yesterday's low quotations. German
remittances were more firm. ut France
showed no anoreclable change.
Local banks ure expected to snow a large
cash earn as the result of the week's move
ments, much of which Is traceable to the
cold fhflow. Bank clearinsrs at this center
show a substantial gain over last -week, but
are atill behind , the corresponding period
of last vear.
Weakness of New York Central debentures
rs and other speculative issues were tne
features of the bond market. Total sales,
par value, aggregated $2,222,000. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO, March 19. After showing- de
cided strength the greater part of the time

reached In the relations of A uatria with

A cent down, oats l cents on to a
shade advance and provisions at a loss of
cents to 20ft22 cents.
Heavy selling to realize profits for holders
had left the wheat market open to a bear
ish attack late In the session, a large part
of the offerings having passed Into weaker
hands. Higher prices at Liverpool had
considerable to do with lifting the wheat
market before the lat reaction. There wer
also reports of unlooked-for Turkish suc

and of huge Import requirements of wheat

Corn was strong early with other grain.

weak. The bulk of transactions were be
tween pit speculators.
Lightness of offerings tightened the oats
market until the bear flurry In nil staples
took place near the end or the day. Ship

Packers and others selling overturned an
advance in provisions. The embargo on

Best Stcera Offered During Day
Brine JJ7.50 Top Grade Hon
Taken at 7.60.
Only a few loads of stock were received
at the yards yesterday and the market was
quiet. Prices were steady and unchanged.
The best steers offered brought $".".0 and
good cows sold at Cattle offerlugs
were for the most part odd lots.
A few hogs brought the top prevailing
price of I7.U0, but most of the stock ofrered
