But Little Activity
, and Much Less Interest

New York, Sept 2s-The New York
Evening, Sun financial review today
said:
There was little activity and less
interest in today's rambling session of
the stock market. News developments
of character to influence TIE course
of prices in either the industrial or the
railroad list were wanting. Neglect
caused business. Recessions were broad
er among the rails than among the in
dustrials.
In the former losses ranged from one
to more than three points. Such issues
as Union Pacific, Reading, Delaware
and Hudson, st. Paul, Canadian Pa
'cific and New York Central were the
chief sufferers. The steel stocks sold
], to points or 50 down, with OCCASION
al leisurely recovery. The copper shares
were consistently soft. The tobacco is
sues sold off fractionally and the equip
ment and munitions specialties also
There were some frankly weak and
strong spots. Wilson and company and
Dlstillers Securities were well bought.
General Tlectric was two points low
er.

Atlantic City, n. j., Sept. 2S.-Open-
ing the campaign for the second liber-
ty loan of $3,0OO,OOO,OOO Secretary Nc
Adoo today called upon the bankers of
America to fling back the German
hoIdes on the battlefields of finance.
The failur3 of single issue of gov
ernment bonds, McAdoo told the Amer
lean Bankers association, would be
worse for America than a disaster upon
the field of battle.
America s forthcoming bond issue, he
said, is pitted against a corresponding
Joan in Germany. Quoting a Berlin man
ifesto, which boasted of a successful
subscription campaign in the Teuton en-
Iite, McAdOo declared:
Let US meet the challenge bv a sub
seription to our second liberty loan on
the twenty-seventh day of October, nine
days after the close of the German loan
which will axe clear to the German
military despotism that America mar
shals not alone her brave soldiers upon

length and breadth or the land, but as
well, her financial resources, and that
She IS delefntlned to use them all with
out stint and regardless of sacrifice to
Vindieate American rights, outraged too
frequently by German infamies.
An Answer to Germany.
Let us answer this challenge by
making clear to the world that the
American people with transeendant
love of justice and of country, stand
solidly behind their great president and

this war;

New York, Sept. 3s - Chancellor
Michaelis sudden decision not 10 adj
dress the reichstag publicly on peace,
but to make a secret statement 10 the
reichstag's main committee, is new
indication of the floundering indeeis-
ion that has overlaken the kaiser s
peace drive.
1t is apparent that the peace propa-
ganda is not working out as the Ger
man efficiency experts predicted
among themselves il would Onexpeet-
ed things are happening that compel
the -.alser s spokesmen to delay stag
ing their farce Of taking the German
people into their confidence. The in
Simultaneous rejection by public opin-
tion in the United States and in the
allied countries of the kaiser S cum
ming proposal for the semi-restoration
of Belgium is unquestionably the rea-
son why the German chancellor has re-
considered his plans to speak before
the reichstag.

He had arranged to tell the Ger
man people that peace had been

become aware that the most dangerous
game he can play is to feed them with
ralsehoods. Never before in German his
tory has Teutonic public opinion began
to form so many independent judg-
ments ds now.
Michaelis, therefore, dared not go
before the reichstag with boastfll
words, for the German people must
now know that the kaiser's latest
peace offer has been riddled by eriti-
eism. 1t is very significant that cou-
rled with the Miehaelis forthcoming

which TO enforce her demand for 80
place in the sum-"
This is the man power that remains
out of a total of 100000 men who
have figured on the German military
lists and passed through the hands of
Germany IS military arbiters.
OF the. 6,s00,000, approximately $780,
900 are actually at the front and 600,-
600 more are in reserve. The remaining
100000 constitute one of the greatest
tragedies of the war. They are the boy
soldiers of tho classes of 1919 and 1920
They constitute the only resource of
"human material" upon which Ger
many has to draw.
They must fill up losses in the Ger
man army which, with no major allied
offensive in progress, normally total
from 10000 to $4,000 monthly.
Boys Must Be 1S.
To date, however, the German gener-
al staff has not yet succeeded in i'm
posing on the German people its right
to seize these youths before they are IS.
Therefore, this last drop of potential
German manhood cannot pass into the
army except in piecemeal lots, as the
boys attain the age of Is.
The figures cited herewith are based
upon the highest and most accurate
sources of information. From this same
source it is possible for the United Press
today to detail this history of Ger
many S mobilization efforts.
Before the war the German army con-
tanned 81 divisions of $4,000 men. Mob
ilization at the declaration of war of
all who had previous military training
brought the total to 4,500,000.
But these were insufficient. The
Ersatz reserve, 100000 strong, was mob
ilized of men whose physical condition
was a trifle under normal army stand
ard. Then the class of 1914 was called
out-450. 900 men who became 20 years
old in that year.
Has Combed Close.
In 1915 call for the first of the land
strum yielded 100000 men, and the
1915 class another 100000; special call
in September for the remainder of the
landstrum, 10000, and an advance call
foy the 1916 class, 450, 900. Still more
men were wanted; therefore, Germany
combed out 100000 more by stringent
examination of those previously ex-
empted.
In 1916 the 1917 class was called out
early-450,OO0 boys, IS and 10 years
old. Another combing process added
3OO. 900 more and, finally in November,
the 1918 class was called out-another
100000.
In 1917 the demand for human mater
ial was still more pressing. Another
squeezing process found 10000 more
men, draining the empire of every man
who by any stretch of medical inspee-
tion could be regarded as fit for mill
tary service. There remained no other
resource except the boys, taken as soon
as they became Is.
Not before 1918 can the German staff
begin Incorporating the 1921 elass-and
then only as fast as they become 1s.

London, Sept 2s.--No slaughter of

"Sinee the end of July there has

Their to emphasize his scorn he pushed
the tureen away--and yanked back his
fingers. The dish had burned them.
"But he was perfectly honest in his
complaint. After serving himself he had
struck up an interesting conversation
with the man opposite. By the time
he was ready to eat, the soup in his
plate was cold. The waiter apologized
and brought on fresh order. The guest
was happy.
"Now the waiter might have made
capital of those burned fingers. He
might have removed the cover OF the
dish and smiled smugly at the escaping
steam. Without the least trouble he
could have proved his point--but he
would have lost his job. And he would
have deserved to lose it.
