WASHINGTON, March 26 (By A. Pj—Stirred by: the menace of the. German offensive, the Senate spent today’s debate almost entirely on subjects connected with the war and heard Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts deliver a denunciation of the delays which have prevented greater forces from the United States being placed beside those of the allies in the critical hour. An impassioned plea for speeding up production, especially of -. coal. was made by Senator Thomas of Colorado, who declared the German forces are “thundering at the yates of Paris,” and that the country should be “aroused to the peril that confronts us.”’ “The situation at this time,”’ said he, “is graver perhaps than at any ime in our history. We need everv resource—-to tell them we are com- ing 5,000,000 strong, with our treas- ure; our coal, our ships and our food.” * Senator Thomas attacked the fuel administration's orders reducing prices for coal which, he said, will wut down production and “result in disaster.”’ For Telling All the Facts. Compulsory military training was edvocated by Senator Lodge of Mas- sechusetts. who urged adoption of ihe amendment to the draft law in- troduced by Senator New of Indiana, providing for the training *of boys between the ages of 18 and 21 years. Senator Lodge characterized the sit- vatign now confronting this country | as “terrible” and urged that the American people be told the truth. “The fate of this war is trembling in the balance,” Senator Lodge de- Clared. “Our gallant allies are holding back the Germans with sac- rifices and courage that sulogy. In this dark hour it is a ‘rime to keep from the people the facts that Germany herself knows.” “It has been known for weeks,” Senaior Lodge declared, “that we have no fighting planes in France “Our front is undefended in the air,’ he said. ‘“‘The French and Brit- ish have use for every plane they can bring up and our men are not defended. We've no guns in France except a few old coast guns. That's the hard fact. “Six months wasted while we were Yying to tmprove the French 75- millimeter gun, the best in the world.

Senator Poindexter of Washington declared he kne wthe Aircraft Pro- diction Board had abandoned plans for fichting planes.

North and south of this stretch of river the Germans are beginning to ' drive the deep wedges into the allied line by the capture of Combles and of Bapaume to the north and of Nesle to the south. Measured by all past history of great offensives in the west. Whe of this, the greates* is at hand. Within the next the Germans either will the great victory and break armies or they will be compelled to pause while their heavy guns and munitions are of all, win | brought up. As it stands in the German report of Monday afternoon, the northern wing of the Germanvrarmy has en- tered upon the old battlefield of the ‘Somme and is advancing toward the crest of the famous “Ridge,” which was the scene of all the great fight- ing of the battle of the Somme fron) July to September. 1916. On this front the German advance from th- outset has been far slower than to the south and Haig reports counter attacks here which temporarily held the German advance. Further to the south the situation | | is more obscure, but it is clear that ithe French and are holding the high ground be- have entered inte line Novyen and northward toward Here there has been a very marked withdrawal of the al- lied line. which sooner or later must affect the French’) position on the fore , other side of the Oise and compel a. withdrawal behind the Ailette to conform to the retreat to the north- west. (Note—Written without knowledge of the French evacuation of Noyon and retirement to the left bank of the Oise.) German Attack Not Spent. In sum, the British army, with its French supporters to the south, is the tremendous tical importance and moving for- ward, except at the center, the Somme, which is here a serious military obstacle for some twenty if the Germans are not position by fronfa) attacks, their ad- vances botH to the north and to the south threaten te turn the ura! obstacle along the whole battic | We have then to recognize frankly ' French | bardment. ‘left behind and by behind | British | center out of this, the strongest nat- | pause in the fighting and of successful] counter- that the crisis has not yet been weathered; that there is still the pos- sibility of a great German success. | Un the other hand, it is equally es- | sential to recognize that up to the. present moment the British, with | support in the last hours, have kept a line in front of the Ger- mans, have retreated in an orderly | fashion, after inflicting very high casualties and have reached grour 1 cn which all the advantages is with them. ' It is clear now that the Britis’: were overwhelmed in the center and on the southern flank by the open- ing bombardment of the Germans, which surpassed anything known in the history of this war. At Verdun the French first and second lines were destroyed by the opening bom- Then, as the French had no third line, the position was at once critical. At the Dunagec and Italy the same thing occurred. But in the present case the Ger- man bombardment seems to have destroved three or more systems of British defense and to have covered the back communications for around 20 miles. In tfis situation Haig plainly adopted the course of Joffre in the Marne campaign, and, . while hia troops were still unshaken, retired to new positions, making only rear- guard stands to hold the Germans. ir, this Haig’s strategy and Joffre’s had the same basic purpose. The’ wveight of the German blow was too gz at to be blocked at once, but necessarily it grew weaker as the troops wearied, the heavy guns were conirast the de fenders drew nearer to their bases. Ultimately Joffre counter-attacked | at the Marne, and ultimately Haig must counter-attack. The French commander counter-attacked when: his troops were back on the last line on which thev could retire to ani keep their flanks resting upon Paris and Verdun: the British are begin- ning to reach positions which must be held if a very general retirement | is to be avoided. The number of prisoners which of | course inclyded wounded captured | by the Germans, 45,000 in all, does: not suggest any disaster; rather, i' points to an orderly but hasty re- treat. for in such a retreat the wounded have to be left behind.

The jump to 15,- 000 on Sunday indicates that in their forced retreat from the front be- tween the Oise and the Somme, be- tween Nesle and Chauny, where the French have now intervened, the British again had to abandon their wounded. In a similar. period of days in the victory over the Italians the Ger- mans claimed more than 100,000 prisoners, while even at Verdun they claimed 40,000 in the first five dava. The British and French in their combined areas in the Aisne offen- sive a year ago took a round 45,000 prisoners and nearly 500 guns in the first few days. As it stands now the Germans almost across the devastated district of their great retreat of a year ago. They have behind them now only a few roads and practically no railroads. The task of bringing up their heavy and munitions, without which they cannot get on, must be tre- mendous. The British, on the oth- er hand, are nearly, but not quite | back on their old front of the Somme, and thus have the advant- age of all the communications con- structed for that offensive of near- happened in the east, there has been no continued advance after the first week. So far the G ken the allied Jermans have not bro- line, they have not pierced it, either at Bapaume or to the south, while they have tempor- arily halted in the center. Their efforts have been stupendous, and even a machine like the German has its limits. We may then fairly con- clude that we are about at the crest of the German flood tide, the worst must soon be over, and up to the present hour nothing like the worst that might have happened has oc- curred.

Until it intervenes and fails it would be ab- surd to view the situation as des- perate. And the longer that Germans advance can be parried, the further the Germans get awav from their heavy guns and their mu- nitions, the more exhausted become their men, the better the chance of the success of the counter stroke. On the other hand, the German advance is beginning to bite deeply into the allied front. If the retreat continues for many more miles the Germans will be Able to enter French territory which is still undevastated and to threaten the communications | between the British andthe French.

New companies and corporations alone wére formed in 1917, with a tota} capital of 570,000.000 marks (at normal exchange $131,060,000),) as against 317,000,000 marks ity companies. velopment is continuing in 1918. Ite hidden significance apparent only when one mind that the that under prevailing rigidly multi-| controlled conditions, new invest- ments if plant are absolutely out of the question unless their “war ne- cessity” ts established to the satis- faction ef the authorities and recog- nizéd as such. It is impossible, un- der military state Socialism in Ger- many today, to build a single new factory, impossible to obtain either labor or steel or tron or cement for building purposes, unless such new construction, such erection of new plant, is directly or indirectly in the military tnterest, with, further, a high degree of war necessity. ing capital, general with the addi- tional injection of some water; cessity, however, being sufficientiy established for the state to give its sanction and wink at the water. In- creases in capital stock aggregating 246,000,000 marks in the last quar- ter of 1917 represent legitimate need for new working capital plus judi- cious dividend-depressing water. In this category the war indus- iN! tries cut the principal figure, and a 1916; and the increase in the num-|! ber of few corporations was rela-'| tively greater than of Iimited liabil-! This significant de-| large part of the proceeds of their new ns goes into extension of plant.

Nor has drastic official contro! of the Bourse succeeded in suppressing speculation or prevented the legiti- mate flow of liquid capital into stock investments instead of war loans. State control has had one of its hard- est struggles of the war in trying to master the stock market and keep it under curb and bit. The beginning of 1918 sees the recently organized stock market twisting and straining | to get free from its new official Straitjacket, which has strangled the war boom and left sobered specula- tion gasping and depressed tempo- rarily. Characteristic of Germany under- going revolutionary war chances is with a capital increase of 24,000,000) that everything is in a state of flux: marks. It is worth noting that these | nothing finished, nothing that one invariably much higher. Here, too, on too profuse new emissions. Preparing for Peace. for an Indefinite War.

Thus 29 new airplane factorics were built or building in 1917 alonc.

The state, regarding speculation | and even legitimate investment as a danger to the success of future war loans, is still striving to restrict the stock market, which it cannot sup- press. The authorities have been forced to permit the official reopening of the Stock Exchanges and have re- stored the peace time system of fixed official quotations as a protection to the public. In order to hamper the} business of the Bourse and check | speculation to the utmost, its work- ing hours have been limited to two, | with only one hour for making com- | parisons and fixing the official quo- | tations; further, all stock transac- . tions must bé made on 2 basis of im- | mediate cash payment; the official quotations are not allowed to be pub- lished in the newspapers nor cifcu- | lated by banks and brokers among _ their clients: the official quotations | are givem only in strictest confidence to banks and bankers, and may not. be disclosed to clients except that, 3n/ the quotations for the. last day of the year may be made | known to them as a basis for income | tax declarations.

That stock watering has been practiced on a vast scale in Germany must be recorded among the estab- lished war facts. The emergency ptices freely offered and ungrum- blingly paid by the milltary authori- ties have netted the war industries and all their connections paper prof- its that read like fiction, resulting in the soaring of dividends to dizzy heights or in the piling up of huge paper surpluses. Many a German company's war loans aggregates four and five times its entire capital stock, and many a wise board of directors has resorted to the old-fashioned prescription of stock watering and melon cutting in order with a mini- mum of ostentation co reduce divi- dends and distribute or disguise swollen surpluses before the tax- gathering officialdom could trim then. | Big Mergers Under Way. , Stock watering and melon cutting are reduced to the narrowest limits under the license decree. With a few notorious exceptions the authorities refuse applications to increase cap- ital when the purpose is obviously not of benefit to the community as a whole. How effectively the practice has been checked is indicated by the fact that of a grand total of 357,000,- | 000 marks capital increases in the last quarter of 1917 only 4,000,000 marks represented merely melon cut- ting.

If they fail our task becomes the greater, and will call for incalculably greater effort and sacrifice which their compatriots in their own country | are undergoing in the ranks or as members of the | civilian population.

All paths or speculations turn to one gate; if the German people con- tinue slavishly to leave the power to drive them into war in the hands of the Crown Prince, or the Emperor, or the General Staff, there will be no prospect of such a world peace as can justify a universal disarmament. Absolute monarchs and Emperors and Crown Princes and their attend- ant nobles all spell war.

It has been about 175 years. The heads and bones which appeared in the funeral trappings were used to make ornaments for the front of the regimental headgear. While stationed at Dantzig the Prince was taught agriculture so as to understand the needs of the Prus- sian Junkers. He even studied the methods of brewing beer in the hang- Dantzig brewery.

Thus after one scene in the teichstag, when the Crown Prince &Pplauded those in favor of aggres- sion, it was reported that he was banished to Dantzig. At any rate, durmg the winter of 1913-14, the Crown Prince and his family were at Dantzig, the headquarters of the) regiment he commands, the famous . “Death's Head Hussars.” Some say that it is a tradition in the Hohenzollern family for ti» Crown Prince to appear to oppose the King. Then when the King dies the Crown Prince enjoys a certain popularity in the first years of hi rule from those who have been against the Government, and by the Cirand Duchess. In appearance the Crown Princess is very attractive, her face rather Russian, with an ex- pression of good nature and clever- ness.

There is only one defect in the character of the Crown Prince, and. that is his fondness for war, his re-| gard for war not as a horror, but as a necessity, an honorable and desir- able state.

They climbed on the rocks, they rose in tall bushes, and at last the whole garden was a living pink mass of delightfully beautiful blossoms. Then one night there was a big party, ,in the garden.

It | is true, they have stuck the roses full of pins, but these are fairy pins and it is in my power to improve on them. I will make them grow larger and stouter, and they will be what we call in my kingdom thorns. Then no one. noteven the gaboos, will easily touch them, unless they wish to get a sharp prick.

From the estimates then made of $18,775,000,000 total disbursements for the year ,and $3,886,000, 000 rev- it has been fig- ured out that taxes were paying 20%. per cent of the war-time annual ex- penditure. With $6,000,000,000 reduc- tion in the expenditure figures, how- ever, that ratio would rise to some- thing ‘like 30 per cent. “But his is not all. Our loans to the allies, being productive invest- ments should manifestly not be in- cluded in figuring the proper share of expéhditure to be raised out of taxes. They will probably amount to $4.500,000,000 for the fiscal year. De- ducting that sum from total expendi- ture, it will be found that $3,886,000,- 000 tax revenue would constitute 47 per cent of the disbursement left. “And if, as is highly probable, the tax cavehue should turn out to be a hundred millions or more in excess of estimates, then we should be rais- ing in taxes 50 per cent of the ex- penditur “That, would be an achievement never parallelied !n history, except in our own experience during the Spanish war—which, moreover, was ho fair comparison, since taxes ran on while the war ended in three Months.” _ Tt was announced by Julius Kessler, president of the Distillers Securities Corp., at the annual meeting last week that the company now holds in its treasury, uncancelled, $949,000 of | is § per cent bonds. report under date of Feb. 25 it was stated that the company. since Jan. 1, bonds, so that the purchases during March have amounted to $58,000. Upon concellation of these bonds only $7,020,383 of, this issue will remain outstanding, the original authorized amount of which was $16,)00,000. Virginia-Carolina Chemical has progressed far enough with its spring business to risk the assertion that, barring some unexpected develop- ment, its profits for the fiscal period to June 30 next will be at least as large as in the 1917 year. That would mean net income for interest of about $6,000,000 and a balance for the com- mon after 8 per cent dividends on the $20,012,225 preferred, equal to be- tween 11 per cent and 12 per cent on the $27,984,000 common stock, ee ee off from cash reserves now on de- posit its $10,000,000 5-per-cent gold notes. The funds to meet these notes are in hand and in fact have been in hand for fully six months. A month later the company will re- tire the small balance of $160,000 of the 5-per-cent debentures maturing June 1. These two concellations of bonded debt together with about $600,000 of other bonds to be paid through sinking fund operations will leave United Fruit Co, with less than $7,000,000 of bonded debt, a most re- markable improvement over the $32.- 000,000 of bonded debt only five years ago. It is interesting to know that even after this heavy cut in its bonds and notes United Fruit will have a cash balance in hand of between $6,000,000 and $6,500,000. The’ company is borrowing no money and is one of the few large in- dustrials which has been able to make such a radical cut in bonds and at the same time avoid the creation of any floating debt. The company is also one of the few sugar producers in Cuba which has been able to ship north a larger quan- tity of raw sugar than it has in store.
