(By private wire to 4. f. Master C co..
NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-Despite the
feet that dealings were highly protes-
sional The market list showed firm
tone throughout the session. This was
doubtless due in large part to the fact
that outside aenion has been emporarilE'
suspended. Traders were represented
on a moderate scale and many who re-
Gently have been inclined to believe that
the recent exchange of news would re-
suit in concrete developments in con-
nection with the neace proposal were
disposed to take the view that bolltSh
demonstrations of moderate extent
should be the order OF things for a
while.
The situation taken rs a whole has
not altered materially. except insofar
rs the technical position Is concerned.
The letter suggests that a further up
ward movement Is quite probable.

ORDNANCE CORPS SEEKING SKILLED
 MEN FOR FRANCE

A recruiting party in charge of Capt. George s. Brady has arrived in Bridgeport to enlist skf11ed mechanics for the ordnance corps of the Na- tional army. They will have head quarters at the army recruiting sta tfon, 15 Fairfield avenue, and will en- cember Is. An office has also been opened at 107 Wall street.
 It is desired to obtain a large num- Der of skilled mechanics for the work of the American Ordnance base depot in France. This division or the army is charged wil,,l the supply and re- Lair of all of thea mechanical equip ment of the hghttng men in the trenches.
 blacksmiths, carpenters, wheelwrights, and saddlers are especially needed at this time but as many as 90 different trades will be represented in the work of the ordnance department behind the lines in France.
 The pay of enlisted men in the ord nance department ranges from $50 to $6120 per month, depending upon the qualifications of the tradesmen and the place of service.
 Capt Brady stated that the ord nance department furnishes an excel lent opportunity for the skilled me- chanic to serve his country by work ing at his trade behind the lines in France to aid in the maintenace of the equipment of the soldiers in the trenches.

THE RAMIFICATIONS
 OF DEUTSCHTUM

The ideal behind all pro-German activities in the United States is thus identified and described by Samuel Hopkins Adams in Poisoning the Press,'' featured in the December number of Everybody's.
 All this radiating propaganda pro-Germanism, anti-Americanism, anti-war feelin, hostility to our AL
 es indictment to measures for ham cering our activ1ty-proceeds from
 nd comes back to one focal purpose, Deutschtum. This is one of those un- transferable words whose roots go down into the depths of national and racial psychology. It may be defin- ed as the universal scientific system for Germaninzing the world. It is the multiform implement of Kultur.
 ''The destruction a Flemish or chard, the sinking of helpless Nor wegian fishing boat, the establish ment of German school in Uruguay, the financing of Red Cross lecture with German sidelfghts, the sub ornation of an American war corre- spondent-all these are Deutschtum. In time of peace there is nothing to be done about 1t but observe, and per haps admire. Now that this nation is at war with Germany. however, it is as surprising as 1t is disconcerting to find the banner of this world-absorb-

Cheerful Credit Christmas.

MT. Wa1der of the Caesar Misch Stores points out the timely value of Cheerful Credit this year for Christ mas buying. There are so many de- nands. upon peoples ready cash, there are 50 many things that one can do for the boys at the front that # is difficult for the ordinary person to have any amount of cash in hand at one time The government asks us to keep business as usual. It is vitalIy necessary and our soldiers in Christmas at home.
 But this is not time for buying frivolous things, but it is a time for giving useful, practical gifts that the recipient can enjoy
 The Caesar Misch Stores are re- p1ete with practical holiday sugges- tions, giving new and dainty articles for women's wear and popular Christ mas furnishing articles for men
 Buying the Cheerful Credit way means that the purchase price is spread out over period of time by weekly payments 50 that the money spent entails no hard ship.
 The Cheerful Credit Corner is par ticu1ar1y bright spot in Bridgeport these days with the new arrivals be- ing put on display almost daily and the enlarged departments and the new department occupying the entire second floor offer unusual advantages for careful selections.-Adv.
