 International Situation

New York. July 12, Wall St., 10:3o a. m.-The course of prices at the opening of today's market suggested increased caution arising from the international situation.

United States Steel lost a full point despite its favorable tonnage statement issued after the close of Saturdays market. Trading was active, with indications of fur ther foreign liquidation.
 Close--Highest prices of the day were made later with Bethlehem Steel at the new record of 176. The closing was strong.

Along the Battle Line
(By Association Press. J

London. Feb. 16.--The Teutonic
allies general offensive along the
extended eastern front is continuing
successfully on both sides, according
to reports reaching London. but
without a visible forward movement
on the front toward Warsaw or the
Carpathians. Reports that the
Austrians had reoccupied the capital
of Bukowina come from Bucharest
alone. Petrograd admits officially
that the Austrians are advancing In
considerable force on Bukowina and
that desperate fighting marks the
operations in the Carpathians, where
the Russians claim minor successes.
The Russians have not regained
their fortified fines in east Prussia
The German advance. while un-
checked, seems, according to British
observers, to be proceeding with less
speed.
Paris reports that the sole activity
on the western front consists OF ar
tillery engagements.

MILITARY TRAINING
In SCHOOLS OF ENGLAND
(By Associated Press.)

London, Feb. 1 6.-The question
Of military training in the schools is
now a live one over all Britain. and
the chief agitators are not army men
but teachers. Lack Of proper ma
terial for officers to take the place
of those killed and injured at the
front and to supply Kitchener's
huge new army and the inadequate
ly offlcered territorial force, is one
of the most serious problems Of the
war. FL of the higher schools have
been called on for subalterns. as the
British Tommy" objects to serving
under any any officer not born a
gentleman. The teachers feel that
they were in a sense to blame for
not having given their students
some elemental preliminary training
further than that of the small stu
dent oflcers' corps.
At q meeting Of the Incorporated
Association of Headmasters in the
London Guildhall, F. H. Templal
said in regard to the New Zealant
system Of universal military train
Ing In the schools: while con-
scription produces militarism. ma
tional training destroys It. Th'
citizen soldier is . man whose ever!
interest Is bound up with the main
tenance Of peace.
Another speaker pointed out tina
military drill and rifle shootin
were compulsory in the Swis
schools, yet he asked who would &C
cuse the SWISS Of militarism.
"A resolution declaring that mill
tary training In the Schools woul
save the country from having to I'm
provise an army In war time by pre
viding y reservoir Of partly traine
men, was passed with only q fe
dissenting votes. y

Unusual Story from Paris
(By Associated Press.

Paris, Feb. .16.-So far as the
public knows, the military courts
have thus far had few sensational
cases. In view, view, u u the frequency Of
by stories, many people are aston
ished not 70 Hear every day or 20 Of
a traitor or a foreish spy being con-
demned to death. As a rule these
cases are handled by dru" -neae
court martial, and the culprit has
already been shot before the story
Of his exploits reaches the public
If the story Is true. 1t is more the
routine business with which the
regular sittings Of the court martial
have to do. Desertions, disrespect
to superiors, aggressions Of all sorts
and misdemeanors make up the cal
endar.
A class of cases that is common is
like that of Abdallah Ben Said va
hion, Algerian rifleman. who fell q
victim to the warm hospitality Of
Paris. Recovering from wound
he was ordered to rejoin his regi-
ment near Marseilles. He had never
seen Paris and SO many people show
cred things upon him he thought II
was q pity to leave. He lived lik'
a prince six weeks, without spending
a SOU, when finally caught he hat

clared: "I brave man-want fight.
Abdallah was formally sentenced
to two years hard labor but the sen
tence was suspended as 1t has beef
in many other cases, and he will b.
sent to the front.
Resistance Of civilians to militar.
regulations brings many cases lik
