MILITARY AUTOMOBILES.
French Army Uses Them In the Au'
tumn Mnneuvcrs-An American on
Ger Praises Their Work.


Paris, Sept. 26. Maj. j. II. Mott, u
S. a., who represented the United
States at the recent French mancu.
vers is preparing his report TO the
war department.. He said yesterday.
"The maneuvers proved extremely
interesting and instructive. From
several points OF view the extensive
use of auto cars was n most striking
innovation and the results attained
have fully justified the claim for their
practical utility in European warfare.
They did excellent work. enabling the
generals and their messengers to
cover great distances in II few hours.
"Auto-traction cars, moreover, ia
cilitated the task of the commissar-
lat department immensely. each draw
ing six or seven cars heavily laden
with provisions. They have undoubt-
edly come to stay.
"I, however, examined this question
of military automobiles from the
American standpoint, and, while fully
appreciating the enormous service
they render to the armies of Europe,
where the highways arc level and well
built and the distances comparatively
small. / do not believe they would be
of sufficient value on the rough Amer
lean roads and over enormous tracts
of country as in the United States, to
justify the heavy expense of their
maintenance in the American army
Our needs differ considerably from
those of European countries. The
latter must always prepare for. possi-
BILE war on their own soil and there
conditions favor the use of autocars,
while the possibility of hostilities
within the United States are remote
and their utility is highly problem
atical.
"Another feature of the maneuvers
which much impressed me was the
new artillery. The latest French
cannon is undoubtedly the most eff
cient weapon and involves new
method of working, which is a vast
improvement on the old style. The
French artillerymen know their busi-
ness and their prompt and effective
maneWering, combined with rapid
serving of the guns, is simply admira-
BILE.
"As to the cavalry, their methods
are quite different from ours. Amer
lean cavalry acts chiefly as the eyes
mounted infantry. We consider that
the days when masses of cavalry were
thrown against infantry are past. But
here, cavalry charges are still regard
ed as feasible. Another great war will
alone decide whether the latter idea
is justified.
"One thing the cavalry operations
brought out. That was the clever
horsemanship of the French officers.
They have been described as poor
riders, but all doubts on that score
were thorough dispelled by the fine
display they made round Chartres.
came away with n golden opinion OF
the infantry. They are not merely
| splendid marchers, who keep in good
| spirits under trying circumstances
but they are as Independent soldiers
in supplying their own wants as any
have met"

Game of all kinds is getting scarcer
every year, and so the young pigeon
has come in favor. The raising of
squads for the market is a new, but
growing business for boys who live
in villages or on farms near the large
cities. Strictly speaking a pigeon is
"squab" as long as it sits in the
nest, and as soon as it can utter quer-
ulous cries for food it becomes a
''squeeler." But for market purposes
it is squad up to about three quar-
tiers of pound dressed. One dozen
squads should bring SD dozen.

Journalist, has, for wager, just trav-
eled from Christiana to Paris on foot,
and started without either food or
money. On the way she crossed Swe-
den, Denmark, Germany and part of
France. She walked 12 hours a day,
and at night would call at a farm
and offer to work for her board ami
lodging. Directly she had earned 4
little money and she started again,
and in turn she mended clothes, did
washing and acted as governess.

The youngest son of the late Lord
Russell sailed for South Africa early
in the year as lieutenant in the Roy
al artillery. The occasion was marked
by one of those intimate touches of
family affection which excite univer-
sal sympathy. AS the great troop
ship swung slowly from her moorings
the lord chief justice, standing on the
quay, failed to descry his son among
the crowd of faces that lined the bull
warks. AT last he gave a shrill whistle
and the evidently familiar call quick
ly brought young Russell to the side
of the ship to wave farewell.

The sunfiower crop is one of the
best-paying in Russia. A good crop
IS worth, as it stands in the field,
S25 an acre. The seeds are sold by
the farmer for some ST to S1.50 a

in Russian provincial cities are stands
and peddlers with baskets, selling
to the passers-by the salted product
of the big sunfiower, which is eaten.

The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MAREl,E1,

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
: New York, Jan. 29-To-day's cotton
started out with great exhi-
bition of strength and decidedly more
spirit than has been manifested in
weeks. All news seemed to be bullish
and all orders seemed to be buying or
ders. But as the session progressed
smaller holders became skeptical or
were unable to resist the profits to be
had. Demand from outside sources
gradually tapered off, and the profess
sional traders lost much OF their initial
enthusiasm. Whereas on the opening
call prices jumped five to twelve points,
by midday most of this advance had
been wiped out. In the early afternoon
trading was almost at a standstill and
fluctuations were limited to n. bare two
points. Still later the market picked
up somewhat and stiffened on n squirt
of general demand, Liverpool leading in
the latter class of business. The mar
ket derived its carly strength from
strong English cables, II firmer Stats
teal position. q sharp advance of
Southern spot markets. and an almost
total absence of sellers. Europe the
outside issue, Southern and the local
element were all eagerly striving to Sc
cure cotton. Talk Of reduced crop es.
Inmates and rumorS that spot holders
throughout the belt were preparing to
advance quotations were also factors.
The market closed steady, with PRICES
unchanged to three points higher.
