ORDERS FOR SUPPLIES
POUR IN FROM
WARNING NATIONS
(New York World.)

All records of the year were broken
by the exports from the port of New
York during the week. They reached
total of $23,279,S69, as compared
with $21 ,41O,546 in the week preced-
ing, which up to that time were the
heaviest since last spring.
For the first 30 days of the current
month there we're exported from the
port of New York, 52,447,36O pounds of
copper, compared with 43,46O,0 900
pounds in the full month of September.
1t is now believed that the exports for
the full month will reach about So ,OOO,-
900 pounds.
Need of Shipping Facilities.
The need of shipping facilities ap-
pear to be about the only drawback
in the present export situation. 1t is
true that there are a great many idle
steamers in all American harbors, but
most of these vessels are foreign and
liable to seizure b. the nations at
war.
Orders for merchandise are being
placed in large volume by the belliger-
ent nations that have been able to
establish credit in Wall street. The
World was informed yesterday by
well-known export agent that an or
der for 100000 woolen shirts had
within the week been placed in New
York city at a net price of 80 cents
a shirt. He said that practically ev-

A New Jersey horse dealer has been

1t was announced yesterday that TO-

Many Women Among Russ

LONDON, Nov. IA dispatch from

THE number of women coming back
wounded from the Russian front
prove the contingent of adventurous
females on the fighting lines is con-
siderable. These women as a general
rule cut their hair, assume a soldiers
uniform, and get away secretly with
the connivance of friends among the

Raw Troops Bravery UnavaiIing


"The troops to suffer so severely
were mostly of the Twenty third corps,
one of their new formations. Certainly
the way their advance was conducted
showed lack of training and faults in
leading which this almost superhuman
bravery of the soldiers could not coun-
terbalance.
1T was a holocaust The spectacle
of these devoted men, chanting a ma
tional song as they marched to certain
death, was inspiring. 1t was at the
same time pitable and if any proof be
needed that unframed valor alone can
not gain the day in modern war, the
advance of the Twenty-third German
corps on October % most assuredly
furnished it.
Besides doing its share of execu-
ton on the hostile infantry, our adtil-
lery in this quarter brought down a
German captive balloon. AS some
gauge of the rate which our guns were
firing at what was for them an ideal
target, it may be mentioned, that one
field battery expended 1900 rounds of
ammunition during one day"

LONDON, Nov. Another eye
witness account from the battle front
IN France and Belgium, written, as pre-
Eiously, Col E. D. Swinton, of the
intelligence department of the British
general staff, was given out today by
aAa Official press bureau. 1t bears date
ST October &c and says:
~On Wednesday, October 81, the new
German formations again pressed for
ward in force vigorously all along our
Ene- On our right, south of Lys, an
attack on our lines was repulsed with
bss to the assaiIants. On the other
hand, we were driven from some
ground close by to the north, but re-
gained it by counter attack.
Still further to the north the Ger
mans gained and retained some points.
Their casualties were estimated at
more than 5000.
On the north of the Lys, in our CEN
aa, a fierceIy contested action took
place near La CHER, which village was
captured in the morning by the enemy
and then retaken by us. In this direc-
tien the German casualties also were
extremely heavy.
Tribute TO German VaIor.
They came on with the greatest
bravery in swarms, only to be swept
away by our fire. One battalion of
their 10Th regiment was practically
wiped out, some 400 dead being picked
Bp by US in our lines alone.
Incidentally, by our counter attack
we took 100 prisoners, and released
some 30 of our men who had been cap
fured- 1t is agreeable to record that
our men were very well treated by
their captors, who were Saxons, being
placed in cellars for protection from
the bombardment of our own guns.
"On our left our troops advanced

turn, we drove them from some of the
trenches out of which they had turned
US on the previous evening, and cap
tured $50 prisoners and released some
of our men whom they had taken. AS
the Germans retreated our guns did
great execution. They afterward made
five desperate assaults on our trenches,
advancing in mass and singing Die
Yacht am Rhein' as they came on.
Each assault easily was beaten
back, our troops waiting until the en-
envy came within close range before
they opened fire with rifles and maxims,
causing terrible havoc in the solid
masses.
During the fighting in this quarter,
on the night of the 22d and 23r, the
German losses again were extremely
heavy. We made over 600 prisoner,
and picked up 1900 dead, killed on the
latter day alone.
Much of the slaughter was due to
the point-blank magazine fire of our
men against the German assaults,
while our field guns and howitzers,
working in perfect combinations, did
their share when the enemy were re-
pulsed. AS they fell back they were
subjected to shower of shrapnel;
when they sought shelter in villages
or buildings they were shattered and
driven out by highly explosive shells,
and then again aught by shrapnel as
they came into the open.

GREAT HELP TO
 A SICK WOMAN
This Lady Says, 1T Cannot Find Words to Express How
 Thankful 1 Am to Cardui"

Jonesville, va.--"I certainly appre- plate what Cardui, the womans tonic has done for me-" writes Mrs. Owen F, Wells, of this town. Before I began to take Cardui, could hardly go about. I had several womanly troubles which caused me much suffering, and were very troublesome. But now feel like a different person.
 l had often read of Cardui. but had little faith in it. My husband urged words to express how thankful I am. Cardui is a wonderful medicine and I feel that it was a greater help than anything I could have taken.
 I had scarcely no pain or suffering at childbirth. and feel I owe it all to Cardui. I know that no woman would make a mistake in using Cardui at that most critical time. It will save them so much suffering.
 It is my sincere desire that this statement may be seen and read by all sufferers who suffer as I did. I am telling all my friends and acquaint- ances of the great cure I have re- eeived."
 ] If you suffer from any of the ail- ments so common to women, give Cardui a trial Thousands of women have voluntarily written, to tell of the great benefit that Cardui has been to khem. Why shouldn't it help you, too? Try Cardui.
