BELIEVE FOCH
DOESN'T INTEND
COUNTER STROKE
No Evidences of Any Offensive by the
Allied Armies on the Western
Front, and the Psychological Mo-
ment Appears to Have Passed-Su-
perior Strategy Is Alleged.

Washington, April 4.-With the Bat
tie of Picardy brought to a stand
still for the time being, at least, and
the initial momentum of the German
drive overcome, military observers
here wer plainly puzzled today by the
fact that. great counter assault had
not developed.
The psychological moment of the
under rules of STRAIT
Iesy, they think, is passing if it has
not already passed, with recorded
movement of the Allied forces toward
throwing back the exhausted foe be-
fore he has had time to dig himself
in.
Officers here frankly admit, how
ever, that they do not know what
the situation at the from is. If re-
por has come from Generals Bliss or
Pershing that would serve to explain
the defensive tactics of the Allies,
it is carefully guarded secret. Nat
urally, nothing would be made pub
lie regarding such advices, even with
out Secretary Bakers order of yes
terday shutting down absolutely on
War Department announcements re-
garding operations in France. That
order has served, however, to make
officers even more cautious about dis
cusing the situation informally.
1t was suggested as possible the
plan of campaign mapped out by Cen
eral Foch is Of far greater scope than
would be involved in an affort to
hurl the enemy back to his old lines.
The German defenses there, which sue
cessfully stemmed the British assault
in 1916, are still intact, and even if
the Allies were successful in rushing
the German lines back over the twen-
ty or thirty-mile zone he has wrested
from them, they would face those de-
fenses when their own organization
was badly demoralized by their ad-
vance and their men showing the
wear and tear of a prolonged often

RECORD PRICES
FOR MAY COTTON
Fibre Goes to Highest Point Since the
: Civil War, on the New York Ex-
change, Following Optimistic Re-
ports From the West FrOnt-May
Go Higher.

New York, April 4.-There was an
other lively session on the cotton mar
kst today when all contracts advanced
under spirited bidding. Prices at the
iclose were from % to SO points high
er than the previous days closing, and
again the high figures for the day,
1915, made new records for the his
tory of the Cotton Exchange, although
this event has happened so often this
season as to become almost CON-
monplace.
The buying, as on the earlier days
this week, came in part from trauc
Representatives who were unable to
wait any longer for favorable oppor-
tunities to fill their requirements, and
in part from recent selling for re-
action, some Of whom persisted during
the morning in their efforts to break
p! ices, but had to hunt cover when
the market stood firm against all
pressure. There has been great
deal of this feeling for the top" in
the market lately by bear spectators,
but it's only effect has been to delay
advances temporarily and make them
more sharp when they have come.
Speculative sellers were quite ac-
tive on the opening, which was a few
points off under their offerings, and
they succeeded in holding, the advance
down for while. 1t became evident,
however, that no cotton was to be had
from the South at anything less than
the top of the market and when the
shorts began to cover prices went up
sharply. 8.

London, April 4.-Count Czernin
still speaks in softer accents than
have ever been heard from Berlin,
despite the marked change toward the
bellicose in his last speech, accord
