Market Was Sluggish

New York, April G.-The New York

man Imperial Chancellor Won Beth
mann HOlweg' s announced intention of
continuing the submarine campaign,
which now apearpntly embraces the
destruction without warning of any
thing afloat, neutral or belligerent.
But the public, it seems, holds diff.

ment of outside interest in thesmarket.
Prices were strong and the volume of
activity maintained but distribution of
business was very poor and the market
wore artificial appearances.
A few issues, including Mercantile
Marine, International Nickel, Crucible
Steel, Industrial Alcohol and American
Zinc supplied more than half of the
early dealings. First prices were gem
orally higher but the early movement
was hesitating. Railways were irreg-

sues were largely dealt in at the out
set Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive

hand, improved.

Villa was last reported several days ago. The latest
estimates said Villa had 25O followers with him. He
previously reported as moving slowly in wagon, at

bassy attaches who examined bronze

the channel steamer Sussex after it was

were pieces Of a German torpedo.
The findings were based on a com

The official report of these attacks
tended TO confirm fears that a sever.

Strenuous One Insists He
Would Fight For Peace
Any Old Time

New York, April 6.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt's hat is in the ring.
The campaign to land him in the
republican nomination is about to be
formally launched.
This Interpretation was almost unan-
imously given today to his statement to
a group of visitors at Oyster Bay yes
terday in which he defined the program
the c. o. p. convention must adopt if
il wants him as standard bearer. 1t
WI agreed that the slogan should be
\" merica first
Politicians speculated on the posi-
bility of Roosevelt not reconsidering his
refusal to enter the presidential prim-
aries. 1t was thought possible that the
Colonel's supporters might try to land
delegations from several states, around
which to rally the uniustructed dele
gates.
Discussion of Roosevelt's statement
to Oyster Bay callers was linked with
comment on the now famous Root
Roosevelt luncheon in New York. Poll
ticians limited that the latest develop
ment prove former Senator Root and
Colonel Roosevelt had smothed over
their differences
Before the cOlohelss statement was
permitted to leak out, his friends in
the far west and middle west told him
that those sections would support a
candidate taking a decisive stand on
foreign policies. This probably led
him to declare that he would not "pus-
sv foot on any issue he had raised.
'DOn't YOU nominate me, he said
to his visitors "unless YOU are prepared
to take the position that Uncle Sam is
to be strong enough to defend his rights
and to defend every one of his people,
wherever those people are, and he can t
be strong enough unless he prepares in
advance.
''I am not for war. On the contrary,
abhor an unjust or wanton war and
would use every honorable expedient to
avoid even a Just war. But | feel that
you don It, in the long run, avoid war
bv making other people believe that
YOU are afraid to fight for your own
rights"
Colonel Roosevelt went on to say
that America must never never wrong
the weak or insult any nation wanton-
ly. He added that every citizen Of this
country should be prepared Gin his own
SOUL as well as with the army and
navy. so that when he said anything
