London, June 2o.-(Special)-It was a favorite jibe by Germans and pro-Ger
 mans throughout the war that England
 was willing to fight to the last colonial, and from the fact that England said very
 little about her own losses in the battle a good many otherwise sensible people
 were inclined to think that there must be something to it. It was also claimed by anti English Irish agitators that Ireland had contributed comparatively an enor-
 nous number of men to the British armies and that the statement that she was stacking was only British islander on Ire land.
 The facts are now available. The cur rent number Lf The Round Table, prob ably the ablest and most thoughtful quar- l terly review published in the English lan- | guage, contains carefully prepared ar | ticle giving in various forms the real con- 1 tribution of England and others of the allies to the common cause There were surprise to me. and I am sure they will be surprise to many other Amer | jeans.

Offerings showed a tendency to increase above the 33c mark as a result of realizing and hedge selling
