London March 17 Further iu- stallments of the French official re-. view Of the FTenci army after s'N months of war have been obtained by the Associated Press The sixth in. salIment deals with supplies and the seventh installment takes up the sit. nation of the German army and makes an analysis of the German forces in the field and available
 The methodical and complete ex. ploitatiun of all the resources of the. country says the review. "orgauiled since the beginning of the war, has enabled us to accumulate consider,| able stock of fresh munitions and an increasing rate of production Is heuce- forth assured We are thus sure ul being able 10 provide without par.' ucular effort for all the needs of the| campaign, present and future. how. ever long the war may last. and it is. this certainty which has enabled us to| supply proiecules to several of the allied armies, among others to the Servian and Begiau armies. From the statements of German prison rs we have learned that the effective ness ot our new proiectiles is sul e. rior 10 that of the old ones
 ~In the seventh section. t.e review turns to a discussion of the situation of the German army, which it de-. clares lost the initiative and direc- ton Of the war in the marked defeat of the battle of Flanders.'
 Germany had put 69 army corps in the field by January 1915, in the su- preme effort to crush decisiyaly her adversares before their mobilization was complete, the review says, and continues:
 ''She had, in the words of the pro- verb. put all her eggs in one basket, and in spite Of her large population she could no longer, owing to the im- mediate and sterile abuse she had made of her resources, pretend to regain the superiority of numbers. She was reduced to facing as best she could on both war fronts the unceas- ing increasing forces of the allies. She had attained tine maximum Of tension and had secured a minimum of results. She had landed herself in difficulty which will hencaforth go on increasing, and which is made clear when the wsstage which her army has suffered is closely studied,'
 Chapter two of this section of the review bears the headline. "Wastage of German Effectiveness"
 "The wastage of effectiveness is easy to establish" it says. We have for the purpose of two sources, the official lists of losses published by the German general staff and the notebooks, letters and archives of soldiers and officers killed and taken prisoner. These definite documents show that by the middle of January the German losses on the two fronts were 5000 men
 These figures are certainly less than the reality because for one thing the sick are ont comprised, and fol another the losses in the last battle in Poland are not included Let rs accept them, however. let us accept

Newport News, Va, April 6.-The way for the German merchant raider Prnz Eitel Friedrich to leave neutral waters was cleared today by the United States government.
 Orders were given to pilots ot to take the merchant ship of,>Sny lel<s~ erent enemy of Germany olie~of Nor folk and Newport News until further notice. The order went into effect about il o'clock today following a direction by the British authorities last night to British captains not to clear their ships after noon of any day.
 The governments action served to arouse the British authorities consid- erably particularly when appeals for information as to when the piloting ban would be lifted met with no ex- 9lanatiOn Although no official inter- pretation of the government order could be procured it generally was un- derstood that the time had expired which had been allotted the Prinz Eitel Friedrich for repairs, and that merchant ships of belligerents had been detained in port in order to ex- tend liberty for departure to the Ger man cruiser.
 Todays action was the first defi- nte step by the United States to open the course to the sea for the Prinz Eitel, the holding up of British ships last Friday, it was learned today. having been the result of direct ac- ton of the British government in which the United States had no part.
 Whether the German commander would take advantage Of the up2or. tunity afforded him to get back to the high seas could not be ascertained
 Conflicting rumors still persisted. Some were to the effect that the ship would attempt to dash by the British and French warships lying in wait for her off the capes, while others main. tained that the commerce destroyer had been interned at noon today and would be taken to the Norfolk navy yard
 Reports that the ship actually had been interned were given little cred ence because of the continued &C.,
 
 tiyity of American government off cials in watching developments. The navy patrol of the ship yard contin- ued, while the battleship Alabama maintained her vigil in Hampton Roads as the guardian of neutrality.
 The order to the pilots held in port about seven ships, among them Bel san relief vessel Cambrian King, and the Russian steamer Altai. Tho others are British grain and horse ships.
 The last British ship left this port at 1l;40 Monday morning. It was the steamer Orthia with 600 horses. The 24-hour period of liberty for the Eitel therefore, it is calculated here. will end at II 40 o'clock tomorrow. If the Prinz Etel has not cleared port by that time, it is insisted she will be interned
 Commander Thierichens of the lGtel tonight would not indicate what he intended to do. The crew of lhis ship was engaged throughout the day in scraping and painting the ships hull
 Shortly before midnight tonight ev- erything appeared to be in readiness for the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich to leave the Newport News ship yard

Expert in Spring Wheat COun-
try Predicts 175 Million
Bushels Over Last Year.
By Joseph #. Pritchard.

CHICAGO, Aug. Z. = Improved
weather conditions in nearly all sec
tons overbalanced all else and those
who bought wheat on Wednesday and
Thursday were selling it Friday. Sen
timent and crop news was more bear
ish A message received from an eX-
pert whose opinion is given great
credence, touching upon the subject
of black rust, said there has not been
enough damage done TO refer TO; that
conditions are favorable for the nm
ishing Of the crop without the spread
of the much dreaded disease. A prom
inent Chicago grain man, after a trip
over the spring wheat country ad-
vances the opinion that the north
western crop will be from $50, 100000
bushels to 175,0OO.0OO bushels over
that of last year. Another well known
authority states that crop prospects
in the spring wheat country were
never so favorable. He says while the
present low temperature is causing
whea. to ripen slowly it is also pre-
venting the spread of black rust. Early
wheat is about ready for the harvester
and lake wheat will be cut In a fort
night.
An old time st. Louis wheat man
says there will be no sensational move
ment of that grain TO points of dis
tribution during the coming two
weeks. Wheat prices at Chicago
showed loss of 1 SIS a 1 5-Sc, but the
reactions were small from the bottom

messed the presence Of more buyers
than ever before at this season, metal

unemployment continues to dwindle,
skilled machinists are in demand,
shipbuilding is active as never before,
lumber, coal and jewelry heretofore
very dull are reviving in a slow way,
export trade is heavy, and would be
greater but for high ocean freights,
coupled with paucity of bottoms; the
federal reserve system is to take care
of the moving south's cotton crop;
time money is plentiful but firmer;
collections seem to be better, weekly
business failures are less numerous,

time one and two years ago, and stocks
in the hands of interior distributors
are exceptionally low. On the other
side Of the picture there is evidence
OF light filing in orders, regular ad-
vances 10 results derived from clear

belated crop movement which explains
reduced freight traffic carried by the
railroads and some unsettlement caus-
