GOSSIP OF
ALL BULL MARKET FACTORS
PRESENT EXCEPT MONEY
Brokers Have Only One Explanation for Inactivity on
Exchange Little Talk of Anything but
War Gossip of the Street
QUTSIDE of the news from the western European front ilttle Is being
discussed these days In the financial district. Brokers claim thnt
everything, except an abundance of money, Is favorable for a bull
market In securities. As it Is, the stock market Is very firm, with a
strong undertone.
So far the lending of money on call on prime acceptances does not
eeem to bo large enough to affect the money market, lteport says that
J. I'. Morgan & Co. lent on their first day (Monday) more than $5,000,000.
It now appears that the Guaranty Trust Company of New York has
been fending for a long time on these acceptances
A downtown banker who Is an enthusiast over tho Federal Ttfe
ferve sstem said In connection with the report that scvernl banks
and trust companies had taken their cue from Morgan & Co. and are
prepared to lend freely on acceptances, that It looked as though the
stem was coming Into Its own, as he considered this broadening of
the acceptance market a big step toward our future International banking.
Railroads May Sue U. S. for $250,000,000
There was some disappointment In certain quarters In the financial
district yesterday o et the failure of an oHlclnl announcement In regard
to the railroad contrnct, as It was reported last vi eek from apparently
authentic quarters that a final announcement was to bo mado Mon
day last. i
While It has been said that the principal point of contention In the
matter between Director Genet al tycAdoo and the repiesentatles of
the security holders Is the decision by Mr. McAdoo not to permit any
clause In the contract which, arter the expiration of the contract, would
permit the railroads to enter suit against the Government for damages.
It Is pretty generally rumored that the railroads In many Instances arc
preparing to enter suits the moment the contiacts are signed
These suits will be based cm claims for equipment expenditures pur
chased between .lime 30. 1917, and December 31. 1S17, which expendi
tures, it Is claimed, are not reflected In the standard leturus based on
the three oars ended June 30, 1917. A banker In speaking of :hli
subject jesterdav said he understood that the aggregate of these claims
would not be less than $230,000,000, ns contained In a brief filed with the
railroad administration by the lawjer representing tho securlt holders'
committee.
The impression prevails generally that the railroad contract bill
will be signed this week. A prominent broker said jesterday that In
conersatlon with the president of a lending railroad svstom ho was
informed that the contract will be satisfactory and will protect both
bond and share holders. In anticipation of the completion of this
contract railroad securities ate tlrm.

CLXXVII
EVnn since I left Hosle lat Saturday
bvenlng, l'e been worrying about
her, but I won't gho her up N'o, sliee!
Dad can go hang-for all I care
Ttosle his refused to see mo since Just
before we parted, she told me with a
catch In her voice thnt she would neer,
never mnrrv mo
"No, Peter, old dear, it's not to be
Me and you have been good pals and
you're white, old boy. Hut you're got
folks and me and them wou'dn't hit It
off. You'll get on, Petey: vou'll make
money and mix with big bugs and then
jou'd be mad at mo If vou had me"
"Xever, Rosle dear," I said hot
headedly, "ou must mnrrv me I want
u Let's get married right away"
"No," she shook her head and smiled
sadly, "j ou've got to drop me " She
shrugged hor little shoulders "Oh. well,
It was a good time while It lasted"
Nothing I could say would budge her.
so finally I said I'd see her the next
day. She refused to think of It evert, and
then she suddenly flung her arms around
my neck and hugged me tight ; she
pressed her hot lips to mlno and kissed
and kissed me As she did so she
whispered, "(lood luck to you, old pal,
forget IIHIb Itosle. 1 hopo you'll get on
well. Just plug ahead, find a girl who's
got educated and knows how to dress
swell and all that Oh, Pete), how can
I give you up? I do so love jou, old
chap God Irtjjieaven, how I must Ioe
you to let j ou go "
She pushed me from her quickly as
she had hugged me and then with a little
sobbing laugh, said'. "Say, ain't I great
on the melodramatic stuff? Now run
along and leave me "
She suddenty smiled and continued,
"Now run along; there's an old dear.
I'm off color tonight. Now beat it, and
here, gho me another kiss. I guess jour
dad won't mind If I ask you to think of
me sometimes, will he? Now I'm oft
Good luck, dearie,' and she left me.
As I rode back to New York my inlna
grew bitter against dad Why should bo
make Rosle promise to give me the mit
ten? In my blind rage I wrote a letter to
dad as fol'ows:
Dad:
I've seen Rosle and told her I will not
give her up Please don't lnteifere be
tween us any more
"I'm only sorry to think that It should
have been my father who did such a
low-down trick as to get a simple girl to
make promises she couldn't understand.
If ever you want ma to come to your
home you must ask Rosle as well.
PI-ITHR.
After I had mailed it I wished I'd
added something about enlng my loe t-
mother, but It went. I certainly, wasn't
going to say an thing which might make
him think I would eer tack down.
It's Wednesday now and no letter
from Farmdale. I hoped, somehow, to
have a note from mother, but nothing
doing.
Not a smell at a case havo I had this
week. I've called on the regular number
of people, but my mind hasn't been .on
selling Insurance, and whei a prospect
says "No," why, I let It go at that.
Goldman kicked up a row today ; said
I looked as lhety as a dead cat and I'd
better get my "pep" back.
"Cut out the talk," I snapped, "aren't
you ever blue?"
He looked at me sharply for a minute
and then said, "Sure, I have trouble, real
trouble, lots of it, but I And that keep
ing a stiff upper lip and working like
hell helps wonderfully to get oer It."

British Army Moves Forward With Amazing Ease
Continued from Pane line
nnd laughed with shouts of "Hinvo!"
ns though they hud gained the best
of luck. They became excited when
some of their ofllceis wcic bi ought
in, n bnttnlion commander among
them, with his adjutant, and the
survivors of two battalion stalls, ahd
lounged up to tho 'barbed wire of
the inclosure which separated them,
with cigniettes hanging ftom their
lipi and no sign of discipline or
defeience.
Prisoners Defy Own Officers
One of the ofliccis was nngiy and
commanded the men to whom he
spoke to stand to attention, but they
shook their heads and grinned, as
much as to say: "All that is finished.
We sufifeied too long under your
tyranny. We are equnl in captivity."
And that was their meaning, judg
ing from some of their speeches to
ou officers and men. They complain
that they have been deluded by hopes
of victory and been saciificcd too
often in the service of biutal corn
mandeis. Kven the officers aie changed in
their demeanor and speak giavely of
their reverses, and do not seek to
minimize them. Only ono officer
maintained the s-ame tmculent pride
of his caste with the Canadian offi
cers todav. He lefused to admit that
anvjhing'scrious had happened to the
Geunan atmy. Kven when told how
many piisonci.s had been taken late
ly, he said:
"That is nothing; it is all accoid
ing to our plan."
"Yes," said the Canadian officer,
"hut our plans are not yours," and
at those words he was abashed.
I saw a batch of these piisoncrs
coming down under the escoit of
some Canadian mounted men yester
day moining. They weic matching
luisklv and staling about thorn. They
smiled at our soldioi.s, whovveie
mulching in the opposite direction to
the battlefiont. Many of them
looked tiled and pale. Somo of them
limped, and a few were slightly
wounded, but theie was on all their
faces the look of men lelieved fiom
fear and glad to get beyond its men
ace. March Like Conquerors
The men marching past them wcte
Highlandeis, going up to support
their comiades fighting to the noith
of the Scarpo. They came winding
tluough a little wood of shelled trees.
Tho color of their kilts twinkled
through the tices, their blown faces
weic flushed with the heat of match,
and they had the look of bovs who
weic suie of viotoiy, so diffeient
from those poor, pasty-faced fellows
in gra,, who h.xl just gone by as
prisoners.
Well, it is queer to be back on the
I old familiar giound again, to be pass
i ing through Airas, to get news of
another battle at Monchv, thiough
tho old gray streets of Arras, with
its ruined churches and broken
houses, which hold memories of this
war for us because it was in April
of last year that othei English nnd
Scotch t loops passed that way to
Iwnrd Monchv and tJuemappe and
I Pelves, which they attacked again
I this week. The Canadians wete on
Vimy Ridge then. Monday some of
them were up by Neuvllle, Vitasse
1 and Wancouit, which London troopb
j captuied in the old days, and London
troops were fighting near these
places this time.
1 The amval of the Canadians was
I an immense surpnsc to the Germans.
The last heaid of them was outside
of Royc after their gloriou.s advance
on the left of the Fiench. and the
1 last thing in the world which tho
I enemy expected was to find them
light in tne norm neyonu .ftrias.
That was a brilliant piece of secret
mnneuver. Before the Germans had
any inkling of their piesencc the
Canadians weic advancing upon
them Monday morning with a sweep
of shellfire in front of them. With
out encounteiing muc.i resistance
they swung atound by Guemappo
and Wancourt over the high ground
on each side of the Cojeul. Germans
of tho Twenty-fouith Division, made
up of men from Rhirfcland, Stettin,
lowei Schlcswig and Hessians, were
aghast at this sudden assault, and
either retired or gave themselves up
in the early stages of the Canadian
advance. Their resistance stiffened
on the ciest of Monchv hill, and there
was fieicc fighting all night in the
trenches on the top of Wancourt
spur.
Rush Machine Guns in Darkness
Hut the Canadians wero detei
mined to get this place, and with
gieat individual gallantly and good
lc.ider.ship, and most dogged spiiit,
the worked atound the machine
guns which weic holding them olf
anil rushed them in the darkness.
Ii' moining they held the spur, and
this body of Canadians, who had
taken over 820 piisoneis Monday
morning, atiaeu anomcr xou, wmi
many machine guns, most of whom
wete caught in the valley below
1 the ridge. All told, the Canadians
I and Scots attacking w ith them had
taken about 1800 piisoncrs.
I Tho highest point, most desiied
I by tho Canadians, was the old Wan
couit tower on top of the crest,
and this they gained in time foi a
'new depaitute yestetday moining,
! b.ivincr to change their diiection
thiee times, owing to the lie of
the giound, and face south instead
of east after beginning the battle,
which is always a difficult opeia-
' A 'little further north other Cana
1 dian tioops who had crossed Orange
1 Hill and Monchy. that hill which
dominates many miles of countiy
so that the loss of it a few months
ago was seiious to us, advanced
again yesterday moining to two
woods on equally high ground be
yond for which our men strove
many times in vain in May of last
ycat. Those aie the Bois-du-Sart
and the Bois-de-Vcrt which wo used
to see like giecn eyes staring down
on our lines around Wancourt and
Henin and from which always there
used to como wicked machine-gun
fire when any of our troops moved
in the open alley below.
The Canadians apparently hold
Bois-du-Sart, and It seems likely the
other wood is In their hands, though
I am not certain of this. In any
case they have moved steadily for
ward in that direction, and also
below and across, the Scnsee Valley
toward the Droecourt-Queant line,
which is the northern switch of the
main Hindenburg line between Wan
court and Henin.
I was with the Canadians when the
new advance had just started, and

their tienches toward Chrrisy and
their barrage gunfire was thin! The
Thiity-fifth German Division of West
Piussinns had relieved the 211th Di
vision nnd took part in counter-attacks
Monday, but it is alieady dis
cern aged and giving giound. Tho
211th is virtually desttoyed ns a
fighting powci. Prisoners have been
taken fiom every company of every
battalion, including, as 1 hnvo said, a
battalion commander and adjutant
and the survivors of two battalion
staffs.
Pew Tanks Used
The success of our infantry is the
mote lomaikable because in this bat
tle veiy few tanks have been used
and machine-gun nests had to be
taken in many cases without then
help. To the noith of Hois-du-Sait is ono
of the points of trouble, because it is
full of machine guns, fiom which
thoic is a wicked sweep of file. '1 he
Scottish tioops, who ueie advancing
on the north of the Canadians,
stormed Rocux and its old chemical
works, long laid into uiin, wheie in
the first battles of Airas there was
most bloody fighting, week after
week, in which the Scottish tioops
also were engaged. In Roeu thev
took a numbei of piisoneis, who weie
dejected men. One of their officers
confessed he no longer took any
interest in the war. "God is direct
ing it," he said, "and will declaie
the issue." All the men long for
peace b agt cement.
Soutli of the Canadians the low
land Scotch and London tioops
vvoiked around Henin Hill and fought
forward towatd Cioisclles. which the
enemy defended despeiatelj. There
was not much opposition on Henin
Hill and the Scots advanced in a
leisuielv way, so that our obseiveis
weie filled with admit ation for the
cool couiage of the men, who kept
diiving the enemy in fiont of them.

switch, which is now in
the not thorn part of that line, and
weie malting iuitlier pi ogress jes
teidny.
The Londoners fought with the ut
most gallantry on the western edge
of Croteollcs, where for n time they
were checked by n blast of machine
gun fire from the crest. Fuither
south other troons. including Yoik-
shne battalions, are extending our
gains noith of Bapaume by Beug
natre nnd the sugnr fnctory at
vrnucourt in tne direction of Bullc
couit. In that region the enemy is
fighting haul with strong counter
attacks, in which some of our men
had heavy fnc to face, though gen
eral success has been assured. The
New Zealondeis are foicing their
way around the noithern outskirts of
linnaume
The Australians nnd other troops
arc steadily making their wav across
the Somme battlefields, the old woods
of ill-fame, like Beinafay and
Trones, nnd iMnricouit nnd our line
is now nearly sttaight up from near
Vaux on the Somme to neni Longue
vnl nnd the .southern outskirts of
Bapaume.
The Germans can make no stand
in most of these places, and they
know it. Personally, I believe they
are only fighting for time, hind reni"
gunul actions, to gain a few days
and exact a price before they fall
back on their old line of iesistance
on the other side of Peronne.
Tor them, this ictieat, which has
completely wiped out their mon
.sttous efforts which followed March
21, is a deadly blow to their mili
tary and national piide, and proof
that thej will novel gain a victoiy
on the western fiont. They cannot
hide this fiom the woild, nor fiom
their own people, hut don't let all
this good success of outs lead us to
false optimism and hopes beyond
the touch of icalitj'.

The new plan will mean a much longer 'I
rail haul for coal, but It Is claimed H
that the extra coat will be offset by U
the saving of a 250-mile tow from this Ir
city, a consequent savins of time and Jf

It Is also contended that the trans
