FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A: p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, June 14.-Today's stock market was strong in the early and intermediate periods, but yielded very generally toward the end. Fur ther favorable war advices, absence of expected disturbances in the money market and additional brilliant crop reports accompanied the early buying and impelled considerable covering of short contracts.
 Throughout the day United States Steel was the conspicuous feature, supplementing yesterdays 3-point gain with an additional 2h points, holding little more than half at the end. Sales, 615,000.
 Liberty international bonds were ir- regular.
 Total sales, par value aggregated s3,275, 900.

THE CRUCIAL FRONT

TNIIE only front on which decision can

STA will be struck in the west
It would be remarkable IL Secretary Baker,
based kis warnings about great battle in
the west solely on the theatrical German
announcements Of that event. But it Is not
remarkable that he make, his prec'ctions
coincide with Derlins, because all the
world knows the Germen ms have no other
place to strike. Their Only hope Of throw
ing the Allies off their guard was to tel:
the truth for once because 1t would be so
hard to believe that a general would an.
nounce his plans to the enemy beforehand.
Mr.. Baker reminds the public that
through sixteen successive battles Of
great magnitude in Flanders the British
have every time come out victorious and
pushed stadily ahead" German gains may
be made and the cost of resistance may
mount into hundreds Of thousands OF
lives. but there is absolutely no reason TO
believe that the enen can break through.
