PRICE FLUCTUATIONS ARE

Stock Market Serenity in War
Crises Causes Surprise.

NEW YORK, May 4.-Price fiuctua-
lions on today's lifeless stock market
occurred within very small range.
Some shares, including one or two
motor stocks. were rather heavy: the
steel issues, likewise. lost some of the
ground they had gained in this weeks
trading. In the main, prices were prac-
tically unchanged. numerous stocks
selling at one figure throughout the
tday Interest converged, naturally, on

The figures given out this morning
indicated that only s60.O00.00o was
needed to complete the $3,000.OOO,OO0
minimum, whereas New York still lack

quoted 500 to the dollar, against 9.O1

Unrua1ed Serenity Continues.
The most that can be said of the
financial markets, so far as concerns
the present weeks news from the west
ern front, is that the quite unruffied
serenity of recent weeks has continued
There was somewhat general expression
of surprise that prices on the STOCK
exchange did not advance rapidly when
it became known that the German blow
on the western front had been parried
and that the German armies apparently
at the eliminating moment of success
had been beaten back, with enormous
losses. There might have been oc-
casions when that would have been the
result: but this weeks episode was not
one of them.
quite aside from the fact that stock
market, which for a long time has stood
up stubbornly in the face of bad news,
is always apt to relax when the good
news on which it had pivoted its ex-
pectations comes, the present juncture
was hardly one in which to look for
rise in prices. The wonder has been,
not that the stock market has not adj
vanced this week, or during the three
or four weeks which preceded it. but
that it should not have declined. No
one would have been greatly surprised.
If it had done so on the eve of the war

Thanks Due Italian Allies,

But for this history meanwhile we must
thank our Italian allies. who showed calm
generosity in thus collaborating with a
portion of their enemies, for. needless to
say. the Czecho-Slovaks on the Italian
front were. until their independence was
proclaimed. enemy subjects.
Today in certain localities of the front
one may see tall, blond men passing. fine
looking fellows. dressed in uniforms re-
sembling those Of the Italians. To assist
them French and Italian officers are
working with them. but these have been

lied governments, but have been freely
chosen by their leaders and after long
consultation with their recognized heads.

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
May 2.-Czecho- Slovak troops of the
national army are now present behind
tho Italian front representing the in
dependent Czecho-Slovak state recog-
nized by Britain, France and Italy, and
which might. for the lack of better
name, be called Greater Bohemia.
Thus the meeting Of the Italian-Slav
leaders in Rome is proved not to have
been in vain. The apprehensions so
clearly manifested by the Hun
garian newspapers, with the exception
of those representing the Slav ele-
ment, are shown to have been thor
oughly justified.
Soon there will be struck the first

Hungarian national carcass which will

the history of the war is written not
the least brilliant story will be that of

whenever circumstances permitted, fin

factors in the disintegration of the

A Final Liberty Loan Appeal.

Local bankers in closing up their
books on the third liberty loan should
not forget that the controller of the
currency will want to know. probably

many subscriptions each bank in the

percentage were for cash and how many
bonds you bought for the account OF
your bank"

practical certainty of these questions
