When the subject of the coal pro

broached. Mr.. Barnard said that the
committee was under instructions TO

a great deal depended on the COM
pany that sras undertaking the pro-
duction. The need of coal is urgent in

Representatives of the various tederal
reserve banks in the city present.
MIR, Barnard spoke in an informal
manner and explained fully the pur-
nose OF organizing the committee
which he represents. In the latter
part OF January Secretary OF the
-.Preasurv McAdoo addressed a letter
= ..to the Federal reserve board. and IN
it the formation Of this board was re-
-auested The board. when first or
sanAed. was voluntary. and il was not
until April 5th that the war finance
act was passed and then the commit
tee became of legal status.
A Financial Famine.
The idea is 10 prepare the country
,ragainst a financial famine in every
way possible. and the man that goes
out and speculatrs upon Liberty
?; Loan Bonds was dayed as one OF the
lowest mortals that ever lived IN the
United States by Mr.. Barnard. The
placing of the bonds on the marker is
not the thing desired by the govern
i ment," he stated, the idea being that
-f-they should be placed away as a say
ting and the value not deprecated.
f-When the bonds OF the third and
's'fourth issues, and those that Will fol'
/ low should the war keep up. are issued
their value will be greatly l"sSened II
! the speculation in the bonds Is NOT
stopped. No person, corporation or

=, the war continues" said tn" speaker
80 The matter OF the buildia" Of roads
i was brought up by one OF the bank
.-ers present. and Mr. Barnard stated
THAT there were two reasons for build
ling and repairing roads. the first be-
ing military necessity. and second
economic necessity. There are certain
~ committees that wish 70 have, the

Forces Available
For the Operation

The establishment of a German
division at present is, of course,
much less than it was in the early
part of the war, though the units
used in this attack have probably
been somewhat swollen lately by
special recruitment from the best
of those used upon the Eastern
front. But if We estimate each
division on an average as having
1000 bayonets, with . total COM
plete strength, including a very
large new proportion of artillery,
of 10000 or $4,000, we shall not be
far wrong. This would give us,
then, the following figures:
The total German forces in

D-tails of the
Great Offensive

With these preliminaries we may
now take up the details of the fight
ing, WHICH are becoming clearer
after the confused reports of the
early days of the offensive. The
great German attack opened an
hour before dawn on Thursday.
March 21, in the form of cannon
ade more violent than any pre-
viously delivered even in this war
of big guns. There was far
greater delivery Of shell to eacn
mile of front and to each hour than
had been seen before, even at Pass
chendaele.
Though the artillery lombard
ment was intense, it was short. The
last hour was principally filled with
the use of gas shells, especially
aimed at the batteries of the de-
fence line, and at points of concen-
tration Immediately behind it. At

Throws Greatest
Weight Toward South

On account of this last point it
is clear that, while pressure of the
most severe kind would be exer-
cised by the enemy over the
whole of the sector chosen for the
attack, his strategic object lies and
therefore his chief effort would be
made as near as possible toward
the southern end of the sector. To
find upon the map the exact situa-
ton of this sector the reader must
look for the two towns of Arras

Seeks to Smash
the British Army

THlRD-The British alone were
selected to bear the weight of the
blow. 1t was not divided, as some
had expected it would be, between
the French and the British. The
enemy IN this matter is CALCULATING
upon the fact that the British had
lmprovised so very great an army
in so short time, and that this
army might therefore lack homo
geneity; he has argued that tn.
British officers and men have been
trained largely for trench fighting
on the offensive, and would be less
able on the defensive, and especially
less prepared to meet conditions in
case he should succeed in breaking
