(Banker HerrY CIews.l )

General trade is quiet, but hardly more so than usual at this season. In the great steel trade, which is still one of our best industrial barorneters, business has been checked by reaction in real estate and by the unwilling ness if not positive disability of the railroads to enter the market freely until the uncertainty regarding their financial resources has been determin- ed by a rate decision. The invest nnent situation is satisfactory. High
 grade stocks are well held and there has been a good demand for high class bonds, particularly the better class of municipa1s. Bond sales on the Stock Exchange since January 1 aggregate nearly $150, coo. 900, against $90, 900, GOO a year ago. Very soon the March disbursements will be available and these will amount to about $120,- ooo, ,ooo, against s11S. S.0oo, GOO year ago.

emergency or circumstance, while affect
ing to degree commensurate with the
event the general preconceived scheme
of campaign. will not produce anything
in the nature of panic in the German
ranks.
German military teaching has always
been replete with campaign schemes
readily adaptable to actually ascertained
circumstances of the combat and Its re-
suits, which is the very essence of war
fare.
Opposed to the formidable force imbued
with TeutoniC tradition and hard COM
mon sense is the supple, confident and
well-lcd army of France, not the grand
army OF France the empire. but the army
of France the republic. This army has
demonstrated almost daily during the last
few weeks as the furious German assaults
have ended impotently against not only
an unbroken but steadily advancing
French front, that it is a vastly different
organization from the improvised, cohe-
sion-lackinE force which was set In the
path of united Germany in 1870
1t was General Joffre and his associates
who caused the Germans to hurl strong
reinforcements into Flanders and there to
accept battle with the Allies. What does
this Indicate?
In the first place IL Is indicative OF the
fact that the Allies are concentrated along
their front in strength at least equal to
that of the Germans. Secondly, the
throwing OF such a force to the north
shows that the Allies have the advantage
of better transportation facilities Lastly,
the Allies commander, now that he has
the initiative, has a better chance of re-
tanning It than his adversary has of wrest-
ing il from HIM. It is as IL he were fight
ing with the light of his opponents eyes.
