which has its apex north of scissors.
He has gained further ground east
of Bagneux, and west of Crecy Au
Mont toward the Soissons-C Chauny
road. Any advance here adds to the
vulnera bility Of the German line east
ward from Scissors.
Fires are reported burning behind
the German position north Of the
Vesle and it is believed the enemy may
be preparing to retire. Infantry and
transports have been observed NOV
ing northward from the Vesle in the
last few days. American and French
pressure continue along the river and
the Americans have gained some more
ground in the areas about Fismes in
local action.
Foch is Satisfied.
Everything is going well-we have
begun our action and we shall con-
tinue." These are the words Of Mar
shall Foch, whose strategic work has
placed the Germans in their present
unenviable positions. While the fight
ing has been raging on the front from
Ypres to Rheims, the stretch Of front
from Rheims to- Switzerland, where
American troops hold many sectors,
has been quiet. A blow by the Ameri-
cans on the line east and south of
Rheims would not surprise some OBJ
servers in Washington.
For five weeks now, Marshal Foch
has held the initiative and the Ger
mans have suffered probably the most
severe setbacks and have lost more
ground in that time than in any like
period since 1916 on the western
front. The sixth week has begun aus
piciously with the German line from
Arras to Scissors wavering under al
lied blows and unable to retire with
out inviting disaster. In the last week
more than 10000 prisoners. not count
ing Fridays captures. have been
taken. more than so towns and vii
lagos regained and the allies have
pressed on unchecked.
Minor fighting is going on in north
ern Italy. North of Bassano, the Ital-
ians have taken some ground in the
Brenta valley. In central Albania the
Austrians have been repulsed in an
attack against the Italian lines.

TROOP SENT FROM RUSSIA.

LONDON. Friday, Aug. 23.-A dis

1T is indicated that some German

cording to frontier message, Land
wehr infantry from the Rhenish in

The Germans are digging extensive
trenches between Dinan and Givet.
Thousands of prisoners and Belgian

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON
THE VESLE FRONT. Friday, Aug. 23.
A number Of fires were reported
late Thursday night within the Ger
man lines between the Vesle and
Aisne. American officers are of the
opinion that the Germans are burning
buildings and material which they do
not want or have not time to move.
French and American observers sew
eral days ago reported heavy move
ments of enemy infantry and trucks
northward. Prisoners captured by the
Americans in the last few days de-
clared they knew nothing about troop
movements between the rivers.

ARGENTINA DRAWS
NEARER TO ALLIES
Military Attaches in Berlin and
Vienna Called Home

Buenos Aires, Feb. 2.--The min
military attaches from Berlin and
Vienna. In political circles this &C
ton is regarded as significant and
connected with the sinking OF the
Argentine steamship Ministro Ir-
riendo Jan. 26.
The Argentine minister to France
has confirmed the fact that the
steamship was flying the Argentine
flag when sunk. The government
has not announced by what author
ity the change of flags was made
after leaving this countryside ves-
sci having sailed under the French
f1ag--but accepts the sinking as an
Unfriendly act, even though the use
of the home flag was unauthorized.
The assum ption in political circles
here is that Germany does not in
tend to keep her promises in regard
to Argentina's shipping.
The situation here is tense and tho
authorities are maintaining more
than their usual silence on the sub
ject; but several events at the gov
eminent house late today lead to the
believ that the government at last S
preparing to take an important step.
After an unusually long lapse of time
the foreign office today replied to the
notes of Peru and Uruguay, which
notified Argentina of her sister coun-
try's state of war with the Central
Powers.

SPEAKING ON SHIPBUHDING
FourAIinute Men to Dwell On Impor
tant Topic Tonight

Production of ships to carry food
and munitions to the fighting men in
Europe is recognized as one OF the
chief problems Of the war. Ships
must be built; otherwise the armed
forces of the allies will starve and
their supply of shells will dwindle to
nothing.
SO important is this subject that the
Four-Minute Men who have been
speaking at theaters will try to i'm
press its need on their audiences to-
night. Postmaster w. r. Delaney
will speak at Keeney's theater, Rev.
Warren r. Cook at the Lyceun1, w. c..
Hungerford at the Scenic, and Editor
John J. DAILY at Foxs
At q meeting of the Four Minute
Men yesterday it was decided to ask
permission Of the theater men to
speak on Mondays, as we'll as Satur-
days while the order for suspending

SECRET TREATY EXPOSED
English Minister Of Labor Believes
Central Powers Were in League to
Enlarge Turkeys Holdings.

London, Feb. 2.-George H. Rob

view yesterday said the declarations
Of Count Won Hertling and Count
Czernin that Germany and Austria
agreed with President Wilson in OPP
posing secret treaties and secret di-
plomacy did not accord with their
acts.
'|There is the best reason for be-
ieving," he said mot only that a
secret treaty was ratified before the
war between Germany and Bulgaria,
but that as a result of the German
emperor's visit to Constantinople a
secret treaty was agreed to between
the four Central Powers to restore
to Turkey territory in her hands be-
fore the outbreak Of the war. Ger
many, Austria and Bulgaria agreed
to do their best to recover for Turkey
the provinces she has lost and give

Won HOEGEN GHOST
IN MCDONALD CASE
New Haven Lawyer Said to Be
Friend Of AuthOreSS

New York, Feb. miss Marion
Mcdonald, a daughter of the late
Congressman Edward F. Mcdonald OF
Il1rflSoh' ~ j., who, according to the
leoeral authorities, was friend and
eohldante OF Macmillan Won Hoegen,
the NE" Haven German erican,
VINO was concerned in some of the ac-
tlV1tles Of Bernstorff and Won Papen,
was arrested yesterday by order of the
department Of justice and arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Hitchcock, charged with impersonat-
ing a federal official According to
the charge, she represented herself as
an agent of the departm ent of Justice.
1t is alleged that she was able, as a
result of the inpersonation, to obtain
credit at several places.
The woman was arrested in her
apartment at 343 St. Nicholas avenue
About a year ago more than a score
of letters, said to have been written
to her by Won Hoegen, came into the
possession of the secret service author
tiles Of one of the allied nations. In
these letters Won Hoegen boosted of
his friendship for Won Bernstorff and
other German plotters and spies. and
it is alleged made insulting references
to the United States, of which he is a
citizen, in some Of these letters. Won
Hoegen was recently whipped by in
dignant New Haven men because of
his pro-German attitude in the present
war. He left New Haven shortly after
that incident, and SO far as the gov
eminent agents are concerned has not
been seen since.
When arraigned before Commits
sioner Hitchcock Miss Mcdonald de-
MED ever having told any one that
she was employed, in any capacity,
by the department of justice. She
said that her friends had often made
the statement that she was so en-
ployed.
MY friends said" she said that
l must be employed by the depart
ment of justice or some other branch
of the government, or you would not
be entertaining these German agents
as you do"
1t was reported that the agents of
the department Of justice seized sev-
eral packets of letters when they ar
rested Miss Mcdonald, and that these
letters are now under Investigation.
Miss Mcdonald said that if the re-
port turned out to be true she would
demand the Immediate return Of the
documents. Miss Mcdonald was re-
leased in $4,000 bail late yesterday
afternoon.

uch Detter tone developed in the
SOCK market. Peace talk was the
prime factor. The improved techn.-
! cal position of the market was also
houceabIe. Liquidation has been
| drastic, and the floating supply of Sc
curolues is at low ebb. The monetary
outlook is more settled, and while
rates OF interest are high good Dor
rowers IND no difficulty in securing
reasonable accommodation. IL is ex
pected that the Government will i'm
pose sharp restrictions upon new is
sues, combining them to essentials.
RMS, however, tends to strengthen
Outstanding issues and facilitates prop
araTon OF the money market for The
next Liberty loan. Our banking stu
alton is remarkably strong, the Comp
troller's annual report showing that
the banking resources of the United
States have reached over 81 1-2 bill
ION dollars, an increase of ID billions
during the last five years.
General business has slowed DOWN
in few lines; but, what with excep-
uonal prosperity in the agricultural
regions and throughout the prear
steel, textile and clothing industries.
the business outlook is generally salts
factory. These conditions have inn
parted fresh confidence in the leading
1ndustrials, most of which promisr
good returns, even if war profits are
on the wane. War profits have never
been fully reflected in market values
consequently the stocks that escaped
such imitation are in just so much
the stronger position. Many of the
big industrials have increased their as
sets tremendously by heavy expendi-
lures for extensions and .improvem ents
out of earnings; and not a few are
selling at very low prices considering
their strong position and prospective
earnings.
Peace would sustain the business of
many of the industrials, because of
the new foreign trade which the war
haA brought to the United States.
Railroad issues which are selling at
the lowest prices in many years were
much strengthened by the prospect of
earnings being guaranteed by tie
Government. The very severity of the
late crisis in railroad affairs has
forced attention to their critical stu
alton and brought change in pub
lie opinion that promises more ration
al treatment by both the Government
and the Legislature. A bill for ma
tionadization of the railroads is about
to be introduced, tn echief point of
difference being whether the time of
their return to owners should be de-
cided by the President or fixed in ad-
vance by Congress They only draw
backs to the business situation are
the shortage and high prices of COM
modities the arrangement of trans
portation and the coming of another
big loan. But these facts have been
largely discounted, and after several
months of liquidation the financial
district at last appears disposed to
take more hopeful views of the out
look. There has been good buying of
stocks during the last week or two.
and the declines were followed by
frequent and we'll sustained srallies.
Following the recent severe liquida-
ton, should peace soon come it would
naturally induce higher prices for the
market in general: but such an up
ward movement will of necessity be
more or less affected by various
phases of negotiations, as they pro-
gress Or recede.
