NEW YORK. April 16.-AIl the i'm
portant factors in fast weeks irregular
and at times unsettled market were
political. rather than financial or in
dustrial. The German and Mexican
situations, with their meracing
phases. offset such favorable home
conditions as increased railroad earn
ings, increasing demand for steel iron
and copper and continued activity IN
general lines of trade.
Another unfavorable foreign in
fluence was found in the sensational
break in exchange on Paris. which
touched the unprecedented low rate of
500 against the American dollar. This
alarming development was corrected
IN large measure at the end OF the
week. mainly in consequence of as
surances from Frances fiscal rep
resentatiye. together with the belief
that a new loan to France will soon
be contaminated
In the stock market itself the great
est unsettlement was manifested by
issues with Mexican connections.

FIRST MORTGAGE SIX PER cENT GOLD BONDS
Der Deutsche correspondent. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1841-1918, 1916-12-01

Talkcuhavn had driven the Rouman-
ian forcos back in disorder toward
the Roumanlan capital, which at this
writing seems doomed to q speedy
capture. The impending fate Of
Bucharest lends added emphasis to
these vehement denunciations Of
Rcynolds's Newspaper: Nothing
since the beginning Of the war has
happened, nor anything likely to
have a more powerful effect on the
whole position than the threatened
crushing of Roumania. 49,. England
had fun warning of the catastrophe,
but like so many other things in this
war, the British Government only
woke up to the danger Of the situa-
tion when it was too late" 1t is not
surprising that the latest news from
the Roumanian front has sent cold
shiver down John Bulls back.

rLAYING rHN oLD GANLE.

Belgium, Montenegro, Serbia and
now Roumania-all small nations
have perished without England, the
sclf-professed defender of small ma
tions, lending them q helping hand.
France has been bled white and
Russia too, has poured out her blood
like water. or all the countries that
arc taking part in the greatest of
wars, England alone has studiously
avoided exposing ner soldiers TO
risks on the battleneds whenever
she could do So 1t is only within
the last six months that she has
done any real lighting as compared
with that done by her allies. 1t is
true that in the Dardanelles fiasco
she lost thousands OF her soldiers in
the futile attempt 10 capture Con-
stantinOple to prevent it falling into
the hands of Russia England took
a gamblers chance and lost After
she withdrew her troops from the
Gallipoli peninsula she left the brunt
of the fighting to France and Russia
till she was drawn into the Sommc
drive, which up to the present has
been as unproductive Of results as
was the fighting on The Peninsula Of
Gallipoli
Whilst France has aided her in
this latest venture, England still adj
here's strictly TO her policy OF hus-
banding her military strength. She
has on her own soil an army OF two
millions that has has not smelt gun
powder. Will Irwin, the well known
American journalist who has just re-
turned from the Scmme front, speak
Ing Of this army in an article written
for the New York Sun says mo man
moves from England until he is fully
fitted out and trained. There are
two million on the British side OF the
Channel still in training and they
will not move until they are in the
finest lighting trim" We have here
an inkling OF the plan outlined by
England. Whilst she is keeping
those two millions off the firing line,
her allies and foes alike are wasting
their strength in the bloodiest bat
ties recorded in history If the war
continues any length Of time they
viii be exhausted while England, by
continuing tho policy she has pur-
sued UP to tho present, will have a
big army at her command, which will
make hor influence in The councils of
Europe supreme il she is not beaten
! TO hcr Knees IN inc present W3r
In a word, England IS repeating
the tactics she employed at the be-
ginning OF the nineteenth century.
when she carefully conserved her
own military and naval strength
whilst her European allies were
spending their resources in fighting
the great Napoleon. When the latter
was finally vanquishcd, England
posed before the world as his con-
queror, although other nations did
tho most OF the fighting that pre-
cedcd the last scene at Waterloo.
Today she Is hoping that that army
Of two millions held in reserve will
enable her TO repeat her tactics Of a
hundred years ago. If Germany
should DC beaten. which now seems
very unlikely, England would strut
to the front and claim all the credit
for it.
