Bradstreet's Review

New York, Feb. 25.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: Trade as well as in
dustry still moves at a brisk pace.
prices continue to advance, deliveries
of raw and finished materials are COM
planned of as slow, railway traffic is
congested. supplies Of money are pie
thoric, collections are good and buy
ers of some lines, fearing insufficient
supplies of still higher prices have
put out orders for fall delivery. In brief
most producing units Of the country
are choked with orders and instead of
seeking business for far off shipment
the tendency is to move more slowly
in this respect. There is however dis
position in parts Of the country to pro-
coed with caution, to ask If prices are
not soaring too rapidly and to ques-
ton the ability of purveyers to obtain
normal profits on final selling prices.
But this recurring note of doubtful
ness must be considered in conjunc-
ton with the fact that consumption
continues at an Unsuitable rate that
incomes from profit sharing invest
ments keep on rising. that wages as
we'll as employment are good, and that
the consuming power of the public has
been greatly increased.

THE KAISER IS
DIRECTING THE
vERDUN BATTLE
Great German Losses Are Re-
ported by French News
paper Correspondent

Paris, Feb. 25-The Petit Parisean
correspondent at the front says that the
great German offensive against YER
dun is under the personal direction of
Emperor william. who arrived at gen.
eral headquarters on Saturday last and
who. in order that nothing should go
wrong, Immediately ordered that a
sort Of dress rehearsal Of the coming
attack be held. At given signal. the
correspondent says. every infantryman
and gunner took the post assigned to
him In advance and the motions Of a
general attack were gone through be-
hind the lines. The Emperor seeming
ly was satisfied and gave the order
to begin the offensive on Sunday night.
The French losses are declared to
be insignificant in comparison with
those of the Germans. The German
artillery preparation which reached its
height on TuesdaH y. was Of unparalleled
violence. Every inch Of ground was
searched out; every point where it was
thought a gun position might exist was
Uttered with shells. but the French
infantry was so we'll sheltered under
ground and the French guns We're so
we'll hidden that when the German bat
teries grew silent and the German in
fantry advanced to the attack, French
men sprang up from the holes in the
ground and opened deadly fire with
machine guns, while shells from 10
millimetre guns flew overhead and
moved down wave after wave Of the
Germans as they plodded doggedly over
the snow-covered ground, urged on
from behind, the correspondent ADDS
by their officers revolver in hand.

AUSTRIAN LOSS AT
CORIzIA VERY HEAVY

Rome, Aug. f2.-The Austrians lost
more than so, 900 in killed, wounded
and prisoners in the two days fight
ing that preceded the fall of Gorilla.
East of Gorilla Italian cavalry con-
tinues to press the pursuit of the re-
treating Austrians and is reported to
have reached the Lubiana plains.
The Italian force that turned south
from Gorilla to drive the enemy out
or the bend OF the lsonzo has encoun-
tered most stubbon resistance on the
Carso plateau, where severe fighting
is going IN.
The main body of italians that
crossed the lsonzo apparently has not
yet joined In the pursuit.
Dispatches from the Gorilla front
say only part of General Cadorna's
troops on that sector are engaged with
the ~retreating Austrians.
Austrian prisoners report that the
Italian blow at Gorilla came as a com
plete surprise.
Their commanders believed the Ital-
ian Isonzo front had been stripped OF
men and munitions to repel the Aus
trians in the Trentino and anticipated
no attempt against Gorilla for at least
two months.

Mutt has always had poor health,

hip, moves about with the assistance
OF one crutch.
Since she has not been able to walk

with odd jobs and until this season
had a garden that was the pride OF
Clinton. Not enjoying an idle mo-

let him help with theirs.

IN PREPAREDNESS THE AD-
MlNlSTRATiON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the administration
has followed, not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were first described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and a half ago we
were told that the question of
preparedness was not a pressing
one; that the country had been
misinformed. Later, under the
pressure OF other leadership, this
attitude was changed. The adj
ministration. it was said, had
learned something" and 1t made
a belated demand for an In
creased army. Even then the
demand was not prosecuted con
sistently and the pressure ex-
erted on congress with respect
to other administrative measures
was notably absent.
We are told that the defects re-
vealed by the present mobiliza-
ton are due to the system" But
it was precisely such plain de-
fects that under the constant
warnings Of recent years. with
the whole world intent on mill
tary concerns, should have been
studied and rectified- The adj
ministration has failed to dis
charge its responsibilities. APP
parently 1t is now seeking to
meet political exigencies by Its
naval program. But 1t has i'm
posed upon the country an in
competent naval administration.

Acceptance.
