HIS is a photographic copy of a-map made by the Ger- man military authorities in charge of the drivé on the Marne on July 15, 1918. The original map was taken from a German officer by men of the 30th In- fantry of the 3d Division. Note the arrows indicating the peak of the German attack, which hap- pened to be the line held by the 30th Infantry. The black square dotted line shows the front held by the 30th Infantry from Fossoy to Mézy. In the latter town the right of the 80th joined the left of the 38th. Generally speaking, that line of black squares shows where the 30th Infantry was located on the night of July 14 and where it was located when the German at- tack failed and the enemy began to move back toward Berlin. The map shows the thoroughness with which the Germans pre- pared their’ attacks, The in- serted photograph “Is that of Lieut. Col. Thomas McNeil, who brought the 30th Regiment home, number whose bodies floated down the Marne.

Stock market values are being in- fluenced almost wholly by two factors at the present time, namely, labor unrest in the steel districts and the sharp drop in foreign exchange. Yesterday professionals sold stocks heavily on the belief that the poll of steel workers would result in favor of the immediate calling of a nation- wide strike. This morning these same professionals began to buy in stocks because of the unexpected moderation of labor’s demands. There are now few well posted peo- ple in the financial district who are 80 pessimistic as to believe that the labor unrest in steel centres will reach the strike stage. The impression pre- vails that labor ts endeavoring to act ‘n'a conciliatory manner, The same spirit is expected to be displayed by managers of steel companies. But the genera! labor situation and outlook is not so rosy as Lo encourage speculators to heavily commit them- selves to a definite position on the constructive side of the stock market. Professionals who seldofn let their market commitments run over-night are now responsible for the bulk of transactions. With regard to foreign exchange, there is no indication as yet that the downward movement is nearing its end.

One news event of the day that elicited considerable comment was the sale of copper for October de- livery at 24 cents per cound. But this did not stimulate much buying © fcopper shares for the reason that Wall Street persists in the belief that the copper metal situation is not as satisfactory as the level of copper prices would indicate. ‘The market continued to display a strong tone in late trading, the cil stocks under. leadership of Sinclair Oll being ‘ especially strong.
