GERMAN CHANCE
OF VICTORY GONE
According To French Of
ficial Review.
ADVANTAGE WITH THE ALLIES
In Matter of Men, Equipment,
Supplies and Confidence,
Is Declared.
PHILOSOPHY OF TWO SYSTEMS

London, April 1G.-The ninth and
tenth installments Of the French Of
fetal review Of the war. which in
previous chapters has dealt with the
German effort. the using up Of Ger
man troops and officers and the ma
terial and moral wastage of the
German army, deal respectively with
military supplies and the conclu-
sions Of the war up to date as found
by the writer.
Under the caption, "the scarcity
Of primary materials for projec-
tiles" the review points out that
the chief explanation of the imper-
fections noted IN the German projec-
tiles Is 10 be found in the bad quail
ity Of the primary material. 1t de-
clares there is "a terrible scarcity
OF rubber" and that still more seri-
Gus IS the scarcity Of copper, which
Is indispensable for the manufac-
ture of shells and munitions" The
same condition, It is asserted, holds
true OF saItpetre and of the nitrates
necessary for its manufacture.
The review then deals at great
length and presents tables and quo
tations from German writer's to
prove the scarcity of food supplies
within the empire. II says:
1T has been observed on several
occasions that the reyictualing Of
the German army has not been as
regular as that OF the French. In
the case OF the battle of the Marne
and I'm the weeks which followed,
the German prisoners were famished
and declared they had eaten nothing
for several days"
In the tenth and last installment
the writer proceeds to draw his con-
illusions and says, in writing of the
Offensive faith of the French army
and its leaders,"
1--WE have before us two systems
The one. the German system, de-
manded a rapid success at the open
ing OF the campaign. a success
against France before the Russians
could come upon the field. before
the British reserves could intervene.
before the economic trouble could

tIon in all hearts OF new corps.

diate. Now this necessary victory

with sprinkling of Belgians, and
few "black" troops. I talked with
several of the men.
Many had been here for four or
five months, but they all We're in
good spirits and optimistic. They
asked whether the Russians were in
Berlin, and said they daily expected
to hear the boom of friendly guns.
"All the discipline is maintained
by their own noncommissioned Off
GERS" my guide remarked, ''they
have full charge, also full response
bility. If anything goes wrong, a
lookout touches bell, and then, of
course, we take action"
He thereupon pointed to the bat
teries of artillery posted on elevat-
ed platforms at various points of
vantage. l also saw lookout towers
in which sentries were stationed,

each pen.
By the time We had reached the
sixth pen We found the men getting

soup and it seemed very palatable.
For breakfast l was told the pris-
oners received coffee, with sugar
and bread, and in the evening bread
with sometimes potatoes or other
vegetables; in all one pound of
bread day for each man.
Each pen has store which is
open at stated hours. A printed
price list of the articles sold hangs
in front of the booth. Soap, brushes,
shirts, towels, German dictionaries
and French-English-G German gram
mars are the chief items. No food,
chocolate or tobacco is sold, but the
purchase of German grammars is

general business situation is the
greater degree of optimism which is
growing. Business is still largely
confined to war requirements. In
other lines trade is backward, but
this may change with warmer
weather. Bank clearings do not
show much improvement. Railroad
earnings are gradually increasing.
Winter wheat shows about 121z per
cent. increase in acreage with condi-
tions favorable. Cotton exports are
increasing.
'The country should shortly begin
to feel the effects of the spirit of
economy which has so long been a
dominant factor. People have saved
money and will continue to save.
'It is encouraging to note a bet
terment in the labor market. This
not only is substantial proof of i'm
proving general trade. but means a
larger consumptive demand for the
necessarfes OF life.
Another Boston report says: "The
outlook in the labor market as view
ed from the Boston branch of the
Massachusetts, State Free Employ
ment Office is encouraging. There
has been a steady and gradual i'm
provement in all kinds of labor. but
conditions still continue far from

MONEY AND TRADE
ARE COMING BACK
To the United States,
President Is Told.
SUMMARY OF THE CONDITIONS
Gathered From Day To Day
BY Secretary Redfield,
Is Presented.
MORE OPTIMISM IN EVIDENCE

Washington,April 16.-The White
House made public tonight sum-
mary of Business Conditions" gath
cred from day to day by Secretary
Redfield and submitted to the Pres
ident. The statement from the
White House explains that what is
given out is not to be considered a
report, but information Cleaned by a
careful reading of newspapers and
other publications received at the
Department of Commerce.
A report from Pittsburg says:
Business is reviving in the sheet
and tinplate mills throughout the
country, according to John Will
liams, President of the Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, who has, returned
from visit to a number of mill
towns in the district. Very few
plants, he said, were working on
war contracts, the business being
for domestic consumers.
One report from Nashville, Tenn,
says: "The total bank clearings.
real estate transfers and building
permits in Nashville for the month
of March show great increases over
the preceding month of February,
and these figures, indicating the real
substantial trend of business in
Nashville, speak louder than words"
The monthly Financial Letter of
the National City Bank of New York
says: Thirty million dollars of
the gold sent to Ottawa in trust for
the Bank of England during the
first weeks of the war has been re-
turned to the United States. With
in the last few days new low rec
ords have been touched by exchange
on London and exchange on Paris.
Enormous blocks of American
securities have been returned by
European holders. but the consump-
tive demand of the American mar
ket has been sufficient to absorb
what was offered. No disturbance
whatever has resulted from this IL
quotation, although 1t came at
time when the markets were seri-
ously unsettled by the war news
and by the fear that our export
trade would be materially interfer-
ed with. II is obvious. however,
that there is little ground for such
alarm. Preliminary figures cover
ing the March exports show new
high records"
