S5,O0O,OOO WORTH OF LIBERTY
BONDS SOLD IN HALF HOUR
Issue of Second Four Per
Cent. Bonds Jumps in
Market Value.

New York, March 26.-An ex-
traordinary demand for Liberty
bonds, particularly the second
As, at an advance of one-half of
one per cent. to 971a, was the
striking feature of to-day's ear
ly dealings on the stock ex-
change. Transactions in these
bonds in the first half hour ap-
proximated $5,000,0OO par val
ue.
The inquiry probably resulted from
publication over, night of the details
connected with the forthcoming third
Liberty loan. Bankers evidently
were surprised at the relatively small
amount of the new issue, as well as
the interest rate, it having been con-
fidentIy predicted that the new issue
would be put on a 4 IL per cent ba-
sis. Certain other features of the
new loan, including it's non-converti-
Bile clause, also were regarded as es-
pecially advantageous to existing is
sues.
The maturity of the new bonds is
yet to be determined, but it was said
that they would be for long term
probably between 20 and 80 years.
Secretary McAdoo plans the estab-
lishment of a sinking fund to absorb
bonds thrown back on the market in
order to aid in keeping the price at
par.

Charges Fail To

RESISTANCE OF
ALLIES FIRMER
French Confident They
Will Meet the Last
Trump of Enemy.

French Front in France,
Monday, March 25-(By the
Associated Press)-Entire con-
fidence reigns that the Ger
mans last trump in the world
war will be over trumped when
the proper moment comes. The
Allied military authorities were
fully cognizant that the en-
emy's supreme effort would
cause a retreat until measures
could be taken to check the ir-
ruption into the Allied posi-
tiOns.
AS always the attackers possessed
the advantage of knowing exactly
where they would launch their on
slaught, while the defenders were
compelled to await developments of
the battle before meeting the onrush
with counter measures. There is
every sign in today's situation that
the terrific attack in which approx
mately 100000 Germans of all arms
apparently are engaged, is slacken-
ing. The resistance of the Allies
seems firmer and the arrival on the
scene of French reserves sent up to
the southern flank, brought welcome
support to the British, who sustained
the first powerful rush.
The German divisions which began
what evidently was intended to be an
Irresistible forward movement were
SO cut that they were succeeded by
fresh formations. It is these divisions
that have been checked at the posi-
ahons on which it was foreseen by the
Allied general that a stand would be
made.
The ground over which the fighting
has taken place possesses small tac-
teal value, but it permitted the Allies
to retire in perfect order. 1t had beer
devastated by the Germans before
they retreated last year and the in
habitants had not had time OF means
to build it up again. While retiring
across what was virtually desert lanc
the British inflicted enormous losse:
on the enemy, who sacrificed thou
sands of lives in an effort to over
come the resistance. .
When the retiring British reached
the Somme and the canal they turnef
and gave battle, meeting repeated anc
dong sustained endeavoTs of both in
fantry and cavalry.
The initial rush OF the enemy SEEM
to have been stopped. Military opin
ion generally is that this first phas'
of the battle, in which even NOR
troops were employed than in tn
battle of the Marne, gives no indica
tion what the result will he. Never
theless developments are awaited b,
the Allies without anxiety.

; COMP PANIES OF
u. S. ENGINEERS
UNHEARD FROM

Washington, March 26-Two regi-
ments of American railroad engineers
are attached to the British armies in
the path of the German onslaught on
the western front, and three COM
panies, as yet unheard from, were
employed near the Crozat canal where
German official statements mentioned
engagement with American troops.
This information, cabled the war de-
partment last night by Gen. Pershing,
while definitely disposing Of reports
that American had been sent into bat
tie, caused no little anxiety here re-
garding the fate of the engineers who
have not reported.
Based on official statements Amer
lean army officers here today ad-
vanced the opinion that the German
offensive appeared to be slowing down
under the British system of defense.
They regarded the battle as having en-
tered it's second stage with the Ger
mans facing increasing resistance.

Boston, March 26-After a
night in the Back Bay police
station DR.. Karl Muck, con-
ductor of the Boston Symphony
orchestra, was taken today be-
fore United States District
Attorney Thomas J. Boynton
and other federal officials to be
questioned regarding his alleg-
ed pro-German activities.
DR.. Muck was arrested at his home
last night by agents of the depart
ment of ustice as an enemy alien, but
no statement was forthcoming as to
the specific grounds for this action.
1t was reported, however, that DR..
Muck's secretary a few days ago ap-
Piled at the office of the clerk of the
United States District Court for blank
applications for passports for DR..
and Mrs. Muck.

Charges that DR.. Muck for many
years conductor at the Imperial Opera
House in Berlin before he came to this
country by leave of Emperor William
had been actively pro-German, be-
came widespread last November, af-
ter the orchestra at a concert in Prov
idence refused to play the Star Span
gled Banner.
Under DR.. Muck's leadership the
symphony orchestra was to give to-
day the first performance of Bach's
Passion, According to St. Mat

1t was said that Maor Henry l.
Higginson, patron of the Bosto1
Symphony orchestra, had conferred
at his home with members of the
orchestra regarding changes in ar
rangements made necessary by DR.
Muck's arrest.
DIR. Muck sat for some hours in the
detention room at the Federal build
ing today while arrangements were
made by agents of the Department OF
Justic to have him locked up, prob
ably for the duration of the war, as
an enemy alien. His manner indicat-
ed that he deeply resented being lock-
ed up over night in a cell. While
government officials would not reveal
the specific nature of the charges on
which he was arrested, they admitted
that Dr. Muck would be sent later in
the day to the East Cambridge jail and
held there pending orders from Wash
ington.
Several of the conductors friends
! visited him at the Federal building.

.CREENSTEIN ASKS
court REPRIMAND
FOR MCCULLOUGH

A wordy battle was fought today
between Prosecuting Attorney A. L.
Delaney and Attorney Henry Green
stein in the City court when Attorney
Greenstein requested the court to rep
rimand any and all police officers who
had anything to do with the kidnap-
ping of his client, Henry Weltner. ar
reted last Saturday at the railroad sta
ton charged with being a pickpocket.
Attorney Greenstein, in addressing
the court said: 'tI have been made the
victim of a cheap, low down, petty
larceny trick, and I respectfully re-
gust that the court reprimand Court
Officer Mccullough and other police
men who were implicated in the cheap
plot to get me away from my client
upon the pretext I was wanted upon a
telephone outside"
When this stage had been reached
Prosecuting Attorney Delaney jumped
to his feet and vigorously protested
that Weltner had not been kidnapped,
and that Officer Mccullough was en-
tirely innocent of attempt to trick any,
one. Some one passed the word along
the corridor that Attorney Greenstein
| was wanted on the telephone outside
and Mccullough had merely repeated
what he had heard.
| These statements Attorney Green
stein emphatically contradicted and in
| heated tones told the court he had
been made the victim and laughing
stock, by the hoax, in which he failed
to see any humor. He protested
against the action of the police in
stealing his client against his will and
putting him through the Bertillion
measurements as well as photograph
ing and finger printing him before he
was found guilty.
Prosecuting Attorney Delaney
was again on his feet and declared
that Weltner voluntarily accompanied
Lieutenant Haux, the Bertillon ex-
pert, and made no protest against his
finger-prints, photo, and measure
ments being taken.
/ This statement was answered by
Attorney Greenstein, who fairly
shouted that Weltner had to volunteer
because he dare not refuse.
After the attorneys had battled for
some time Judge Wilder said that he
would take the matter under advise
ment and would render a decision
later,

ed with being the pair, who burglar
lied the home of w. H. A. Hatfield,

| pair they have been travelling abou
the country picking soft ''cribs" t
"crack" and have reaped a harves
which runs into the five figure class

descriptions of both the man and wo
