10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,EsI

London, March 23.--sFor the last
twenty-four hours wntry weather on
the French front has brought field op-
eratlonS almost to a standstill. Reu-
ter'S correspondent at British head
quarters wires that more definite re-
sistanCe is being offered by the Ger
man rear guards, particularly along
the irregular line running in a north
ern and a northwestern direction from
De Savy wood, about three miles west
of st. Quentin.
In the most northerly sector affect
ed by the retreat the Germans con-
tinued to maintain strong covering
patrols and cavalry guards and also
have posted many machine guns at
vantage points, indicating that they
intend to prevent the British from
continuing to progress as rapidly as
they have done heretofore.
Resistance Stronger.
Although some cavalry skirmishes
were reported as well as small clashes
of accommodating parties, there was
no appreciable change in the situation
today, except the tendency of the
Germans to offer greater resistance.
Behind all the newly acquired British
front the greatest activity continues
DOlll III llt way Ol troop
and in the construction and repair of
roads and railways.
Thus far about 10000 inhab abitants
have been left behind by the Germans
during their retreat, mostly elderly or
very young persons. Reuters corre-
spondent reports that all the women
between the ages of II and 35 are be-
ing sent to the fortress at Maubeuge,
as the Germans say that If they were
left behind they would make NUM-
tions for the French, and so they are
keeping them to make munitions for
themselves
Devastation Enormous
The more the evacuated territory
was explored the greater became the
amazement at the amount of la Dor
put in destruction by the Germans
Hundreds of giant trees lining the
roads have been felled after what
must have been prodigious effort
Bonfires have been made of all sorts
of farm implements. Some heavy
French carts had been sawed in two
and all the spokes had been sawed out
of heavy wheels.
One rather shocking bit of vandal-
ism was that seen today at the Cha
teau Gorgencourt, just outside Nesle
fin containing the skeleton and effects
of the well known Deputy Fontaine
had been opened and dcsecrated
Further outside this same town ii was
striking to see one plot of land where
everything was orderly and in
marked contrast to the confusion and
devastation elsewhere.
German Cemetery Elaborate.
1t was a most elaborate German
cemetery. Some graves were marked
with marble slabs and the entire plot
was surrounded by granite posts. At
one end Of the cemetery was erected
a giant marble statue of an angel of
peace with wings outspread and with
a German inscription beneath read
ing: Here Foes Become Friends"
bordering the graveyard was a fruit
orchard where every tree had been
cut down and the farm house shat
tered by dynamite.

aid. in part:
Money for Allies.

How best can America help to
bring about a definite and speedy end,
ing of the war? To this question no
better answer, it seems to me, could
be given than the one stated by the
very able head of the federal reserve
board at Washington. Governor Hard
ings solution was to have the federal
government grant the allies a suffi-
cient credit here to enable them to
prosecute their military operations
with vigor and success. The amount
of this credit might be billion dol
lars. 1t might in time far exceed that
sum. In any event, it should be suf-
ficient to furnish the allies all the
food and supplies they require. It
may take some time for America to
assist actively in military way, but
in economic and financial measures
she can render assistance this very
moment. And that is just the sort OF
cooperation which will prove of most
immediate and effective value.
Full support of Bankers.
I'm any step that the federal treas
ury may take it knows that it can
count upon the most complete support
OF bankers and Of all our people from
every part of the country. II the
treasury should decide to issue a gov
ernment obligation tomorrow for a
billion dollars, the whole sum would
be ready and waiting for it even be-
fore it was ready to receive it.
Fortunately, in a financial way
cur country is in a state of complete
preparedness There is no sign of
panic and no possibility of one. As a
solid and unshakablc basis we have
an enormous stock of gold. Those
same allied nations that have in the
last three years bought from America
nearly $5,700,000,O00 of our food
stuffs, raw materials and manufac-
tured goods have in the same period
shipped us in gold over $l,200,000,000
bringing Americas stock of the prec-
ious metal up to a figure unprecedent-
cd for any country. namely, So, ,l5O,-
