British Military Expert Analyses Stu

London, June 2.-"Field Marshal

says Gen. Sir O'Moore Creagh, V. c.
one OF the foremost military experts
in England, in analyzing the situation
on the western front AS can be
seen, it is the strategy of Hindenbarg
to cover up his retreat by counter-at-
tacks vigorously driven home"
Allied generals estimate that at
least 100000 seasoned German
troops are opposing the Anglo-French
armies between the Franco-Belgian
border and the Verdun sector.
General Creagh's analysis contin-

WILL TRAIN FUR
 MILITARY DUTY

Princeton, March 26-President Hibben announced this morning thai in the event that war was declared between Germany and the United States military training at Prince ton would take precedence over academic work.
 President Hibben, addressing a mass meeting said: T am here as pacificist. I believe in peace at any price and the price at the pres cut time is war;"
 Let us recognize our enemy. I hope that the way will come when the Stars and Stripes will be seen somewhere along the Von Hindenburg line in France.
 Roosevelt wrote: Unless in the words of Lincoln We ara defener- ated, whose manhood has run out, We shall strike hard and effective ly in response to these brutal and unproYoked injuries
 Unless we do so we shall show ourselves unworthy to be the heirs of the steadfast soldiers of Wash tngtop, Unworthy to claim kin ship with men high in soul who, under the banners of Grant and Lee, proved their truth by their endeavor."

 Grades corresponding to the yeoman class will be given to those qualifying as stenographers, clerks typists or similar positions. An other grade of work for which they may be designated is that of radio telegraphy and other commun1ca- tion divisions.
 Difficulties of obtaining men stencgraphers and clerks for the navy from among the regular en- listed personnel caused the question of women's employment to be taken up. By filling the positions on shore with women, the department expects in time of emergency to re- Iieve the men for fleet service and sea duty

NEW YORK, Mar. 23.-The most impressive feature of today's market "a buoyant movement in rails-did not develop until the final hour. The rise in that group which ran from to points in leading issues, was con- current with the receipt of advices that the interstate commerce com mission had been petitioned by the railroads for a general advance of 10 to F percent to meet increased oper- ating expenses under the Adamson law
 Strongest of the railway list Were Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Read ing. New York Central, New Haven and Fries. with unusual activity in Southern Railway, Wabash, Missouri. Kansas and Texas preferred. Kansas City Southern. Wheeling and Lake Erie, Rock Island and Missouri Pc eilc
 Metals and motors made only rela- lively slight improvement, except for National Lead which was in steady demand at a gain of 3 to 63. Oils. papers. sugars, Central Leather. In- dustrial Alcohol and American Wool en kept moderate pace with the ad- vance in other specialties. which was featured by an advance of Sla to 7224 in Wilson Packing.

 NEW YORK. Mar. 23-It has been long time since the rails displayed as much buoyancy as today. The buy ing was decidedly vigorous and the scarcity of offerings made it difficult for shorts to cover. Many of the stan derd rails are lending at rates con siderably below the renewal rate for call loans and in quite a few instanc- es the short interest is so large as to dictate flat terms. Consequently to- days strength was not surprising and judging by the manner in which the rails have been accumulated for months and the character of the de- mand today, higher range of prices is quite probable. Some of the indus trials will probably lag for awhile though Steel, by far still seems to be the cheaper Of that type of stocks.
