Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to
day said:
Today's session Of the stock mar
ket was manifestly traders affair
Prices were irregular, with a tend
ency toward lower levels for the most
part. The market gave further evil
dence that the bull episode of last
week and the week before has passed
and has been succeeded by period
of adjustment to be expected in the
circumstances. Brokers and bank
ers alike recognize, however, that the
market will be tempermental for some
time to come because Of the fluctuat-
ing fortunes of war and recurrent
peace agitations.
The price level rose and fell today
with relative sluggishness. Declines
ranged from one to two points and ad-
vances were mainly fractional. Bald
win Locomotive fell nearly three
points but moved more or less
steadily around SO following the fail
ure of the directors at todays meet
ing to restore the common dividend.
Strong spots among specialties
were American Linseed, Wilson and
Company and American Cotton Oil.
The sales were weak and not very
actively dealt in. Trading livened up
appreciably as the afternoon ad-
yanced. Prices were highly irregular
at one moment showing pronounced
weakness, again recovering rapidly.
Baldwin Locomotive went below 81
but rallied to go. Steel recrossed 10S
and Marine preferred after selling
down nearly to 80 went UP to par.
Bonds were quiet and steady. Practi-
cally the whole list closed strong,
with steel above 100 and Baldwin
above SO.

MACKENSEN TO
STRIKE JUNE l
Germans Third Drive on Western
Front Due in Few Days,
According to
Experts.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. J
WASHINGTON. May %. - THE
storm of Mackensen," Germany's
third and perhaps final great drive
on the western front, will be launch
ed about June 1, according to the
prediction today of General w. A.
bridges, chief OF the British military
mission here.
Should Mackensen fail to break
the allied line at his objective-in
the Ypres salient and around Amiens
an AustroG German offensive against
Italy probably will follow, General
Bridges declared. He expressed COM
plete confidence in General Foch s
ability to stem the invaders IN all
events.
The enemy has now on the west
ern battle line, 1,5OO, 900 bayonets.
''The drive probably viii come
about June /. 1t may break before
that or it may be delayed-but it's
coming" said Bridges.
I'VE expect the enemy to make his
greatest effort around Ypres and
northward of Bethune, in the vicinity
of Hazebrouck, while subsidiary
drive. on a smaller scale, is expected
at Amiens,"
The newly organized German divis-
ion and the remnants of the divisions
engaged in the recent drive are be-
ing put through a course OF training
in open warfare and maneuvering,
British military officials declare.
Their training has virtually been
completed and only the most radical
change in plans will hold Germanys
greatest efforts to break through to
the channel ports
Germany is insisting that Austria
start activities against Italy Bridges
declared.
.Should a stalemate be reached
again in the west, German troops I'M
doubtsdly will be diverted for an
Italian drive. Without German
troops. Austria probably will refuse
to start anything
Should determined effort to
crush Italy be made by Germany. the
allies would find it imperative again
to lengthen their lines.

makes no difference what school
boards do now, the German language
in America is dead. Whatever past
values it may have, for this genera
