The theories which receive consider
alton here are the following:
The Germans. after unparalleled ef-
forts to smash through by continuous
and desperate tactics. found II neces-
sary to halt and repair damage TO
their so-called war machine before
subjecting II to further strain. This
implies replenishing gags In the ranks
bringing up transport lines and am
mun,,ion and a general overhauling
process linked with respite for the
troops which had borne the brunt OF
the fghtinz.
The Germans, who had counted on
beiry much further advanced In their
campaign for the Channel ports. fore
saw that the momentum OF their drive
would he spent before they could
reach their goal and consequently
were forced TO resume the old form OF
trench warfare.
The Germans found unexpected re-
sistance at the eleventh hour near
ypres and were unable to overcome
this last obstacle despite their sacri-
fees ard desperation,
German losses have proved far
heavier than generally realized. and
the German high command has seen
that persistency in the policy of at
tempting to smash through regard
less Of losses would prove dangerous
in the end to the morale and effective
ness OF the German armies.
or these theories the hrst one I
supported particularly by general sta;
| off,cers. These officers are not sur

wAsRiNoroN. May 2:. - Although
there has now been relative calm on the
western war front for almost a month.
military experts here are not inclined to
accept the theory that somsthing has
gone radically wrong with the plans OF
the German high command and that the
Immediate DANGER Of the German drive
is over.
There Is divergence OF opinion anons
the army authorities as TO what has
caused the delay. but there is unanimity
Of opinion that every days delay has
helped the Entente and the United
states. Great caution Is in evidence here
in attempting to forecast the next Ger.
man move.
Secretary Baker said to-day In re-
sponse to inquiry that nothing authori'
tative had come to his attention con-
cernng the reason for the delay In the
German offensive. At both the French
and British embassies there Is laci
of positive information.

CROWDER'S ORDER
PUTS men TO WORK
Ranking Nonessentisl Employees Re
inforced by Girls.

How win General crowder's
work or hght" order affect the Dis
trict Of Columbian
No figures are yet available re-
garding the numtSS Of men Of this
city who are engaged in occupa-
tions which are not necessary for
the prosecution Of the war, but It IL
very probable that the number Ia
very much smaller than many
might suppose.
Have you noticed lately the num-
ber Of places in which women and
girls are filling positions formerly
held by men? Thezmen of the Dis
trict. who have not been drafted
have not been slow in entering those
Industries essential to the winning
of the war, as shown by the present
shortage of men in the nonessential
occupations as walters, soda clerks,
store clerks, porters, nonessential
manufactures. etc.
Have you noticed lately the num-
ber of places where girls are hold
ing positions formerly held by men?
II you live in an apartment house
you have probably noticed that the
elevator is now being operated by
q girl. And the same thing is true
Of the one at your ONCE. OF course.
there are still a great many eleva-
tor boys. but their number is de-
creasing rapidly every day. BY the
time the Provost-Marshal Generals
order goes into effect II Is doubtful
II there will be any left.

allies are concerned, unless there Is
complete elimination Of the view, that
has In some quarters prevailed, that
Il is better to have the Kaiser ad-
minister Russia than the Soviet gov
ernment. Again, those who are best
informed are certain that the chance
which we still have Of aiding Russia
will be destroyed, II we permit mill
tary junkers to organize in America
revolutions against the Soviet gov
ernment.
Notwithstanding the great difficult
ties which are in the way Of Ameri-
can assistance to Russia, the hope Is
strong that, with President Wilson's
aid and that OF the American Red
Cross under the leadership Of Col.
William b. Thompson, influences will
be speedily developed and strength
ened so that, at last, the Russian
people may feel assured that America
will find the way by which they can
be helped, and will provide them with
all that they need, not only In the
way of funds and supplies. but also
Industrial, railroad and commercial
leadership. Whatever may be the
ultimate result OF the stupendous
fighting in the West. nevertheless 1t
is the belief of those who best under
stand Russia and the situation there,
that all OF the battles will count for
comparatively little, unless Germany
is driven out Of Russia, and that
great empire. at last, as was the case
with France q year or two after the
Frsnco-Pruss war, is established
upon a firm basis of republican de-
mocracy.. HOLLAND"

toilet articles.
They were arrested shortly after
ward, but HiXon has been out on
bail until last Saturday. when he
was re-arrested and locked up while

GOOD Buying AFTER
PRICES COLLAPSE
American Sumatra Leads in Tumble
Of Industrials.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, May 2S.-Good buying
made its appearance In the stock
market this afternoon after there had
been another collapse in prices. The
declines ranged from two points In
u. 8. Steel to 10 3-4 in American
Sumatra. other speculative favorites
were down an average OF two or three
points. The afternoon buying caused
a rally ranging from nine points in
Sumatra to about three points in the
other active stocks. st. Paul, New
Haven and Tobacco Products were
strong throughout the day and at
tracted much attention because OF
what seemed to be inside .accumula-
ton in all of them. The whole mar
ket acted as IL 1t had definitely turned
upward again.
Brokers handling speculative ac-
counts said that the condition of their
order sheets indicated quite q mate
rial short interest.
American Sumatra was the only
stock that acted really bad. At its
low point II was about twenty-four
points under its high price OF less
than a week before. Many profess
sionals were badly hurt in this stock
though the insiders had warned them
and they are neither expecting nor
receiving any sympathy. In sharp
contrast to Sumatra was the action
Of Tobacco Products which broke
scarcely at all.
In New Haven and st. Paul the buy
ing has been so persistent as to make
the street believe there may be after
all some basis for the rumor of a
coast to coast railroad system en-
bracing these two roads. There is
nothing in the leasing OF the roads
by the government to prevent such q
combination. Indeed 1t has been sug-
Sested from Washington that 1t would
be wise to reorganize the railroads of
the country into three east and west
systems and four in the north and
south. This could be done by the
government without consultation with
the stockholders.
The break In Chevrolet Of seven
points and in General Motors of near
ly three. called attention to the de-
creasing output Of passenger cars.
Interborough-C Consolidated directors
passed the s per cent dividend that
they have been paying contrary to
the Judgment of financial authorities.
At the same time the dividend on
1nterborough Rapid Transit was cut
from 0.per cent to 10 per cent.
