chief of staff, Coiouel Count Schulen-

The command of the 9TH army was
in the hands of General Won Boehn, one
of the hest generals in the German
army Prussian officer of the old
school, good trainer of troops and
man of untiring energy. His chief
of staff, Colonel Reinhard, was a clever
man. whose careful work made him a
useful complement to his commanding
officer.
General Won Einem, who was in
charge of the 3rd army, is well known
as minister of war. an able and far
sighted officer who knew the army
well and understood the psychology of
the troops His chief of staff, Colonel
later General, Won Oldershausen, was a
man of irrepressible vitality and loved
his work; he too was the right compile
ment to his superior.
The headquarters staff of the 3rd
army afterwards withdrew from the
conflict. In the first fortnight of
April the headquarters staff of the
1st army took over the command under
General Fritz Won Below. He had as
his assistant Liuet.- Colonel Won Klub-
err, who had gained valuable experience
in the battle of the Somme, and, like
his general. was a particularly sound
judge of tactics. He was afterwards

HAD TO FORM NEW LINE

IT'D To OTsIVr INV f11IV1
A day like April 8 threw all calcu-
lations to the winds. Many days had
to pass before a new line could really
be formed and consolidated. The end
of the crisis, even If the troops were
available, depended very largely, as
it generally does in such cases, on
whether the enemy, after his first
victory would attack again. and by
further success aggravate the diff
Guilty of forming a new line. Our posi-
ton having been weakened, such vic
tories were to be won only too easily.
The British attacked again at the
same spot from the 10th onward in

south, as far as Bullecourt On the
18th they took Monchy and during
the following night we evacuated Vimy
ridge. (The Canadians took Vivmy by
a charge after tremendous lombard
ment) April 2Srd and 2Sth and May
Srd were again days of severe fighting
and in the intervals short local engage
ments took place The battles con-
tinued; we launched minor counter
attacks, which were successful, but also
suffered slight losses of territory here
and there.
The oommander-in-ch Of the 9Th
army, General Won Falkenhausen,
whose chief of staff was Colonel Won
Loszherg, was very energetic in or
ganizing the defense of the new posi-
ton. and was supported in his efforts

armies and by G. H. O. further
withdrawal to the wotan position,
which was still under construction,

for granted, in spite of the restricted
area of their onslaughter. that a great
break through was planned. and not
merely a battle of attrition and diver
sion. But possibly the British army
had not quite recovered from the bat
tie of the Somme and had undertaken
a diversion here whilst the French
army was to gain a decision.
The Ultimate strategic object OF Cen
eral Nivelle was to break through the
German line between Vailly and
Rheims in the first few days Fol-
lowing on this push east of Rheims
as far as Suippe was to widen the
breach and shatter out front for 70
kilometres CAT miles,.
The decisive blow was to be struck
by the French army against the group
of armies under the German Crown
Prince. The pressure from Arras
eastwards on Douat and the break
through on both sides of Rheims via
Rethel in the direction of Mezieres was
to envelop the Siegfried position. the
construction of which had been sur
veyed by hosts of aeroplanes. The En-

cial preparations for attack were not
necessary. The works that were act
ually built south of the Chemin des
Danes we saw when we advanced in
1918. Their construction seems to have
dated from 1856. 1t is possible that
the French had intended to make an
offensive here in 1916, but were pre-
vented by the German onslaughter on
Verdun.
Conditions on the western front had
become more secure, but the depres-
sion due to the battles On the Somme
and at Verdun still weighed down the
minds of our people and increased
the nerve-racking tension inseparable
from being on the defensive.
The distribution of the righer COM
mand had been improved. Crown
Prince Rupprechts command included
the 4th, 9Th, LIST and I'd armies, be-
tween the canal and La Fere. Next to
this was the German Crown Princes
command with the 18th, Sd and 5th
armies, which extended almost as far as
the Orne, east of Verdun.
Then came the command of Field
Marshal Duke Albrecht of Wurtemberg,
who had handed over the 4th army to
General Sixt Won Arnim (army groups

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
PRESSING PROBLEM
BY HOLLAND

New York, November 16.-(Special) AL
most invariably the answer which men
who handle financial affairs upon a large
scale, manufacturers and exporters make
to the question: What is the most inn
portant issue at this time which remains
to be scattered satisfactorily" is this
it is the stabihzing of foreign ex-
change. Temporarily the unrest which
prevails among the labor unions has di-
verted slightly attention from this issue,
but it remains permanent. Confidence is
expressed in the ability of the govern
ment and also in the force of public opin-
ion throughout the United States to
bring to a termination the labor diff
dculties. Some business men say that the
very number and magnitude of the
strikes will inevitably cause the bottom
to drop out of the movement.
On the other hand, the question of for
eign exchange seems to be the command
ing topic in all business circles Not
great deal of attention is paid to the
discussions carried on in the United
States Senate upon the league of nations
covenant and treaty OF peace 1t is true
that many business men are anxious that
this subject be determined by the SEN
ate as early as possible. 1t is looked
upon almost entirely from business
point of view because the feeling pre-
walls that if the treaty of peace be rati-
fed then there win he developed new
factor which will tend toward the stabil-
ization of foreign exchange
The general public has little knowledge
of the anxiety which characterizes bust
ness circles caused by the abnormal
business conditions which are occasioned
by the foreign exchange situation, New
ertheless, it is the general topic of dis
cussion in banking houses and in the
directors rooms of the great corpora
tions. Not a great deal of publicity has
been given to the situation probably in
part at least because foreign exchange
is a matter of international financing of
which the public has little knowledge.
When it Is spoken of it is regarded as
dry technic, and to the average man
uninteresting He does not know that
to master foreign exchange requires long
experience careful study and high degree
of Judgment and unusual mathematics
ability. The mastery once obtained quail
lies the master to take part in very i'm
portant international financial and trade
transactions.
MORGAN WAS A MASTER
The late J. p Morgan was a complete
master of the very delicate and difficult
mathematics and other features asso-
ciated with the foreign exchange. This
enabled. him to carry on to successful
firish some important financial transact
tons.
He was by means of this knowledge en-
abled to negotiate for the Nanderbilts
a sale of $4,000 900 worth of the stock of
New York Central Railroad company in
the London market. He did this so skill
fully that not until the announcement of
the sale was made was there any knowl-
edge that a vast transaction of that kind
was in negotiation.
Many years later Mr.. Morgan was able
