Gen- eral Wood suggested that the offensive may change the warfare into a more open contest. For that reason he rec- ommended the training of American forces for open warfare as well as for trench fighting.

The German official report tells of the defeat of the British and “their retreat via Ypres and Sailly.” This would seem to indicate heavy fighting far to the north of the Somme battle- fleld, of which no British report has spoken. There is, however, a town called Sailly south of Bapaume and castward of this place is a town known as Ytres. It is probable that these were the points referred to in the statement from Berlin.

There is no possibil- ity, he said, of the Germans attaining their apparent objective, the channel ports, or threatening Paris.

Financial Observers Surprised. Most financial observers were sur- prised at the comparatively small size of the loan, and at the interest rate, both of which they had expected to be higher. Reduction of government ex- penditures and allied 16ans below the former estimates is responsible for the loan’s size, Secretary McAdoo explain- ed. He said the bonds were made non- convertible to put an end to expecta- tions of higher interest rates in the future indicating his purpose to main- tain the 4 1-4 rate for future loans.
