The stock market shows some feverishness owing to Fluctuations caused by the war and our uncertain relations with Germany. The rise fol- lowing the placing of the. British loan was somewhat stimulated by short covering. It was further aided by the favorable action of Germany in offering regrets and compensation for the Nebraskan incident Easy money and good business prospects naturally tend to higher prices for securities;
 so does the certainty of a good de- rnand for our steel and agricultural products. The only offsets of inn portance are the war and the dis hearteningi waste Of life and. wealth.

GRACE READY TO HELP
Manning Threatens "Other Agencies
to Enforce Laws in Charleston.

to Enforce Laws in Charleston.
Expressing willingness to cooper
ate with Sheriff Martin in enforcing
the laws against liquor selling in
Charleston, Mayor John P. Grace has
replied to letter from Gov. Richard
I. Manning, received Monday night,
in which the governor suggested that
"other agencies would be put to
work in the effort to prevent illegal
liquor selling.
The governor in his letter cited his
course up to this time, and went on
to say that he was dissatisfied with
the situation and would now put in
motion other efforts, which, without
interfering with the mayors activi-
ties, would secure better law enforce
ment. The governor said he had
communicated with the sheriff, di-
recting him to turn his attention to
conditions within the city as we'll as
outside it's limits. He closed by urg-
ing that the mayor cooperate in this
endeayor
The mayor replied at length and
gave out the reply. The answer sets
out conditions under which the
mayor thinks his activities should
be eXerted in connection with those
of the sheriff. He says that when
ever the sheriff notifies him he will
pursue a campaign of raiding which
should bring results. The mayor
urges that Gov. Manning adopt this
as modus rivendi, promising his eff
fort to secure results.

the enemy which attacked US reach
ed in many places our wire entangle-

Nevertheless, at the cost Of enormous
sacrifices, the enemy captured trench

"The attacks Of the enemy in the
region of Drohobycz, Stry, Bolikow,
Dolina, Delatyn and Kolomea were

plan of our adversaries to send
against our positions in both Galicia
and Courland soldiers who have been
brought from France and Belgium.
Entire army corps and separate divi-
sions belonging to different units are
moving t. our front.
"It would appear that the renewed
activity on the French front has pre-
vented the enemy from carrying out
his plans thus to move his force, in
spite of the fact that this project had
assumed considerable proportions in
the month Of April.
"The Saxon and Bavarian regi-

all the infantry regiments of the

German successes in West Galicia.
Evacuation of the Carpathian po-
sitions became inevitable as the Ger
mans proceeded with their powerful
drive from Cracow on the Russian
fight. This threatened the cutting off
of the whole Carpathian army, whose
rear communications were only mar
row footpaths. Russian critics now
go so far as to hint that the Carpa-
THAN campaign was an unwise under
taking. since it led to a great extern
sion of the front which was not easily
defenSiDle.

SHIPPING GOES THROUGH
Panama Canal Has Huge Traffic in
Month of April.

Record breaking cargoes passing
through the Panama canal in March,
according to war department statlstl-
clans, would have filled approximate
ly eighteen hundred freight trains OF
twenty cars each. These trains, it is
estimated, would have totalled 275
miles in length or filed five parallel
tracks from Panama to Colon.
Had this freight been transported
across the isthmus in freight trains it
would have required train every
forty-eight minutes, or ffty-eight
trains day.
The cargo handled in March
through the canal aggregated $685.
057 tons. This is about ninety-nine
per cent. of the through freight haul
ed over the Panama railroad during
the fiscal year ending last June and
forty thousand tons more than the
through freight handled by the road
during the previous fiscal year.
