lned that his triumph would be SO
complete that there would be no peace
table, but that the warning nations
would be compelled to accept theI
terms he offered them, In which event,
knowing the magnanimity Of the Ger
man makeup, I should say the world
at large would have to be content with
very little. !
How the kaiser feels now that the
failure Of the U-boats to intercept
American troop ships must be pain
fully apparent to him, and Americas
has so overwhelmingly overcome the
shortage Of shipping, I don't know, but
It Is more than probable that for some
time to come the real situation will, at
any rate, be successfully concealed
from the German people. I know that
the failure Of the U-boat campaign was
unknown to the Germans up to the
time I left Berlin-in January, 1918. q.
While the kaiser and the Germans
generally felt confident that we would
never be able to send many men
across, they protested to feel little
concern even II we did.
According to some Of the German Of
lcers with whom I spoke, even If va
landed 100000 men In France it
would not be enough to break the
deadlock, as the Germans were taking
q similar number Of trained troops
from the Russian front. The only
menace Of American participation in

might add considerably to the allied
air strength. Man power alone, they
contended, would never be sufficient td
help the allies much, but overwhelming
superiority in the air might occasion
the Germans some annoyance.
The kaiser himself had but q poor
opinion Of the fighting qualities Of the
American soldier SO far as modern wan
requirements are concerned.
1.-THE American soldier would posi-
sibly give a good account Of himself
in open fighting" he declared, "but he
is not built for the kind of warfare he
will encounter in France. he lacks
the stolidity to endure life in the
trenches. He is too high-strung and
couldn't stand the inactive life which
is such an important part of modern
warfare. Besides, he lacks discipline
and trained officers"

STOCK TRADING .
DULL TODAY.
Early Promises for Advance
Are Not Fulfilled this
Morning.

New York, June 20.-Early prom
Use in the stock market of a general
advance today was not fulfilled, trad
ing becoming very dull and prices
somewhat irregular before midday.
General cigars, running counter to
other stocks of the same class, re-
acted four points, and Royal Dutch
oil dropped another six points for q
total of 16 since Tuesday. Brooklyn
Transit extended its decline to four
points n h other utilities were
under pressure, presumably because
of the attitudes taken by the war fin
inc corporation. Liberty 3 1-2s sold
at 1884 to 1888; first As at 94.OS to
1920; second Is at 94.10 to 94.l6 and
4 las at $500 to 96.06.
S~pecialties were the chief features
at the strong opening Of today's stock
market, although the. whole list re-
f1ected the further favorable war
news. Tobacco issues. notably United
Cigars and Sumatra, rose / to 2 1-2
points. 1ndustrials Of the war class
were less active but equipments, ship
pings and oils made irregular gains.
Brooklyn Transit vas the only heavy
stock, losing 2 Ia points Rails Jagged
except Reading and the secondary
coalers. Liberty Bonds were steady.
New York. June 20.-Sugars. to-

classified specialties contributed to
the better tone of the market in the
afternoon. but dealing continued in
light volume. United States steel

an, artillery regiment to distinguish
itself especially in this respect.
The unit was quartered for some
time in a little French town behind
the front and on the first evening
found, almost dying from hunger, an
~S-year-old boy whose mother had
been killed at Verdun. The boy had
wandered a%imlessly about until he
reached this town.
He was unanimously adopted by the
regiment, fed to safety and made the
mascot and idol Of the men The
time came. however, very recently,
when the artillerymen had to leave
for front service. TO take the boy
with them was out Of the question.
