PRES. P0INCARE
LEAVES PARIS FOR
VISIT TO THE FRONT

Bordeaux, Oct. Alb P. M.-Pres-
ident Poincare, accompanied by Pre-
mier Vician and Minister of War AL
exandre Millerand, left at noon today
party travelled in an automobile and
will be absent from the temporary
capital for three or four days.
The President goes to the battle line
not to take part in the strategy as is
he case of Emperor William and pos
sibly Emperor Nicholas, but that he
may personally congratulate the troops
upon the bravery they have displayed
in the long and stubborn fighting.
NJ. Poincare some time ago deter
mined upon this project, but until now
has been prevented from executing it,
either by the necessity of presiding at
the daily conferences of the cabinet,
or by the wish of the military author
tiles who deemed the moment unfa-
vorable for the trip.
The news of the Presidents depar-
ture for the front has given rise to a
crop of rumors to the effect that thf
allies have gained great victory, INF
news of which is withheld, and NJ
Poincare has gone to witness the final
diseomforture OF the Germans.
The correctness of the deduction is
i i t., go hot
the situation in the fighting zone is as
described by the afternoon statement
of the war Office. 1t is added that the
Presidents sole motive is to convey
the nations appreciation and encour-
agement to the troops in their long
and difficult struggle to free the soil of
the invaders.
The President will first visit the head
quarters of General Joseph Joffre, COM
mander-in-chief of the French army.
Interest in every movement of the al
lies, as revealed in the official announce
ment of the war office and reports of the
enemy's strategy continues intense. De-
spite the rushing of achievements to the
aid of the Germans, their attacks, as
viewed, here, seem to have little effect on
the positions of the allies.
The battle takes on more and more the
form of a. siege. Additional German
forces which are being sent to the line of
the Aisne. it is noted. are not coming
from Lorraine Belgium or Germany, but
are being drawn from the army operating
in Champagne province.
The withdrawal of German forces from
the center has caused considerable sur
prise, in view of the extraordinary pre-
caution which had been taken to stop the
French advance in this region and as the
center is regarded as an important ele-
ment in the German defence.
Lieut.. Col Leonce Rouset, the military
writer for La Liberte, in reviewing the
situation says:
at is no more wholly against our ex-
IRENE left that the Germans are direct
ing their efforts. but it is a little more to
the south. More interesting, however, is
the action taking place in the region OF
Role. There the German general staff
hopes to find the point of lease resistance
and has not hesitated to strip their CEN
ter being unable to obtain reinforcements
from other sources"

IRISH BY TH0US-
ANDS FLOCKINC
To the COL0RS

Dublin, Oct 4-(Via London, $50 ?. NJ
The number of new recruits for the
British army obtained from Ireland
amounts to about rs, COO More than 500 of
these are from the Dublin district, 1000
from the Cork district and the remainder
from Belfast.
Not all the Belfast recruits are Union
lists nor are all the southern recruits Ma
tionalists. The Belfast Nationalist
claim to have furnished 5000 of the Bel
fast recruits, which number, relative to
their total population is larger than the
proportion supplied by the Unionists.
Many of the southern recruits belong to
football and athletic club classes. There
is not such a rush to join the coiors from
the agricultural districts as was antici-
pated, as there is a lack of men of avail
able age Emigration has left Ireland
with a much greater proportion of the
old and very young than there is in Eng
land while she already has much larger
proportion of men in the army that has
England.
John Redmond and his colleagues are to
address recruiting meetings in various
parts Of Ireland and their appeals are ex-
pected to be fruitful At many meetings
public bodies havee ndorsed Mr.. Red
mond's manifesto calling the Irish to
arms, and if his advice is followed to
have the Irish form a separate brigade
or corps like the Welsh are doing it is
thought be the recruiting officers that the
response will be greater.
London, Oct. 4.-9.32 p. M0.-Some es-
Inmates say that 5000 Irishmen and Glas-
gov have joined the colors. Franm Lam
cashire, it is said. emitting Manchester
and Liverpool 5000 have joined. Leeds
has furnished many Irish recruits and
Dundee 1000. The mining villages have
been largely depleted. Birmingham will
furnish at least 5000.
Similar reports come from South Wales,
Bristol and the west.
The figures regarding the Irish enlist
ment have been compiled by the Nation

For some time Canadian Pacific has
moved In direct opposition to the rest
of the list. 1t has been practically the
only comfort OF the shorts, having de-
clined more or less steadily. The usual
explanations offered In Wall Street for
this chronic weakness are rather vague
Considering that the stock has always
sold far out Of Zine with American
railroad shares, II does not seem sufficient
to assert that Canadian Is selling some
30 or 40 points above the level justified
by Its income return. A better reason
may perhaps be found in the criticism of
the recently announced plan OF the man
agement to raise money by an issue Of

been denounced in tho lveliest terms.

Union Pacific and baltimore,

Although Union Pacific at 1921. made
new high price on tho movement and
actually surpassed by narrow margin
the top made on the wild spcculat ion
excited by the distribution runors of
last September the rise I'm the stock on
the present movement has been dispropor-
tomato to the ground gained by the rest
OF the list. with the exception perhaps Of
Reading. Moreover. some portion OF
the Improvement must be attributed to
the rise In Baltimore. Following the an
nouncement of tho extra distribution a
few weeks ago Union Pacific sold at 1853.
Baltimore and Ohio at the same time
sold at 50. The rise Of over 3
points In the price Of Baltimore since
then has materially increased the value
OF the rights" and thus automa tically
added over points to the value OF
Union Pacific stock without taking into
account the Improvement In the price OF
H. and q. preferred. The rise in
Baltimore and Ohio common has been
one of the most striking features OF the
market. Apparently II signifies "A
complete reversal OF the opinion that the
| additional stock when released will be
thrown upon the market. The stock will
| sell ex dividend January 81. That has
| undoubtedly been an influence. for the
unlucky shorts who have been hanging
| on will scarcely wish TO pay the per
cent. dividend.

The report that protest had been
| submitted to the President by influential
interests in san Francisco against the
enforced separation of the Southern Pa
citic and Central Pacific contemplated by
the Department of Justice may have ac-
! celebrated the pace of the upward move
! ment In southern Pacific stock. But II
cannot be doubted now any more than
previously that the main impulse behind
the rise has been the gradual 'consump-
| ton" of the huge block OF additional
stock injected into the market last sum-
| mer. The rise in the price to 99is may
appear rs something extraordinary when
looked at In relation to the levels of So,
| made about the middle OF last December,
and SO n little earlier. But to the In
weston who has held his stock all through
| the abnormal market conditions OF last
year IL IL merely a logical recovery. II
Is remembered. for instance. that 1t was
at par that the biggest syndicate ever
| formed to handle a stock deal agreed las,
| April 10 take over the entire block OF
| 100000 Southern Pacific stock on a
basis of IL per cent. commission. Par
| for Southern Pacific then looked very low
because it was considered from the point
OF view OF 10 for the stock earlier In the
year with 1l5e In 1912 and 1868 in

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Whence the BuxinRs

professional Wall Street Is more or less
ny sea In regard to the stock market.
What has been looked upon as IA perfectly
normal reaction has been postponed until
II has seemed as II all the ordinary prin-
ciples of speculative movements have been
violated. Time and again in the course
OF the present rise the stock market has
appeared to he in "a highly vulnerable po-
sition, and just us often the average pro-
fessional has taken his profits on the long
side and perhaps gone short for Il spell
in addition, or ut least missed his market
by waiting for lower prices. Similarly
commission houses have constantly adj
vised their customers to take profits and
buy back cheaper. All have been wrong
40 far. Profit taking sales and short sell
sng have plainly been INDUCED in heavily
and have made no impression on prices
to speak Of The absorptiyc qualities of
the market have been remarkable.
obviously the only explanation of this is
sustained buying demand from a source
outside of the immediate confines of New
street. Il buying demand sufficient to more
than offset the operations OF the profess
