"A1l that night we were sending artillery
to the front and lots of infantry. You can't
imagine how disappointed We were to have
to remain behind. but, then, somebody had
to do it and duty is duty just the same.
and that is all army life is--just duty
Most of us volunteered TO patrol all night
and the next morning we were a tired
guard. About 10 o'clock we lined up and
started for the front with 100 rounds of
extra ammunition in our haversacks. You
can't imagine what changes we found out
there. All the bamboo shacks had been
burned along the road that was formerly
lined with them, and there was not a Kan

FEATURE WAS SPECULATION.
Which Took Interest I'm Cotton and
Wheat During the Week.


Wheat During the Week.
New York, Jan. 2S.-Bradstreet's says:
The apparent steady rise in the tide of
general business has been diversified
this week by an outburst of speculative
interest in a number of staples, notably
Gotten and wheat. which heretofore
have registered steady gains on actual
cOnsumptive demand rather than on
speculation. Large transactions and
buoyant prices have been features in
these staples. and signs are not want
ing that sympathetic though smaller
movements in a number OF other lines
are either under way or contempia ted.
Exceptional industrial activity. partic-
ularly in the iron and steel trades, is
another feature CT note. and here, too,
price advances are all but general.
While it is hardly possible to fix the
entire responsibility for the bu!lishness
in wheat and cotton upon the movement
which so far has proved so successful
in stocks, the claim is freely made that
considerable profits realized In the stock
market have sought expression in the
channels of staple food and textile dis
tribution But the magnitude of the
outburst OF new buying shared in by
former persistent shorts in wheat alone
hardly explains the activity in this mar
ket which has resulted in the highest
prices reached since the collapse of the
Letter deal.
Business failures are fewer in num-
Der. aggregating 2z6. against 252 last
