GERMAN FIRE ''HELLISH"
SAY FRENCH SOLDIERS
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.)

ROME, Oct 10-An Incident of the
battle between the French and Gar
mans near Esternay and Sezanna is
thus described in a Paris dispatch to
the Corriere dalla Sera:
"A German battery which had been
caught ina swamp and which for this
reason had been cut off from the main
force, managed finally to free itself
from the mud. Instead of surrender
ing, it continued single handed the
fight against the advancing French.
The German artillerymen beat their
assailants off with a hellish fire, which
the French artillery tried in vain to 81
lence. Until late in the evening, the
battery continued it's deadly work un-
til it's ammunition became exhausted
and the men were either dead or Sc
verely wounded. When l arrived the
brave crew had already been buried,
and the guns still rested on trees which
the men had placed under the wheels
in order that the pieces might not dis
appear in the mud

BALES EXPOSED
BADLY DAMAGED;
LOSS ENORMOUS
HUNDREDS OF BALES HERE BEING
RUINED BY EXPOSURE TO
THE WEATHER.

On farms about Americas and
throughout this section, thousands up
on thousands of dollars worth of cot
ton, which is exposed to the weather
in the country near Americas, is in
danger of being damaged, according to
a leading cotton man in Americas, who
this morning discussed a situation in
which he characterized as grave.
Farmers who do not realize the
enormous seriousness of the task they
are taking in leaving their cotton
bales lying around on the farm, on
the ground near the gin and in other
unprotected places. ought to be in
formed" he said.
at strikes me as being little short
of tragic for the farmers to labor and
sweat all year to raise big crop, find
the price down and then leave the
product out in the rain to rot. And
the sort of weather we have had for
several weeks has been most damag-
ing to exposed cotton.
Much of the staple that has been de-
livered in Americas has been wet, and
for no other reason than that the cot
ton was neglected after being baled.
Il don't know whether this careless
ness is due to disappointment on the
part of the farmer, or to indifference,
but whatever it is the cause should be
removed, or at least the cotton should
be saved
Cotton should never be stored out
in the weather. Every precaution
should be taken to protect the bales.
They should be stored at least eight
or ten inches above the ground, and
provision should be made for turning
the bales over at least once a week.
Il have been reliably informed that
all through the country the farmers
have left their baled cotton lying in
the field, around the gin houses or
stacked in other exposed places. The
heavy rains of the last few weeks have
made the bales soaking wet. This has
damaged the quality of the staple
more than the inexperienced persons
have any idea.
"It will mean a terrific loss to the
farmers if they neglect this impor-
tant matter longer. Before the real
ize it thousands upon thousands of
bales of perfectly good cotton will be
rendered almost valueless."

GOVERNMENT ISSUES
'DOCTOREO" BULLETINS

THE HAGUE, Oct 1O-The situation
in Petrograd is treated extensively in a
letter appearing in the Berliner Tage-
blatt, which reads in part as follows:
ION the whole the government does
its best to protect the life and proper
ty of the foreigner-even the German.
1t has in this the support of the mill
tary authorities. During the days of
the mobilization it was different, of
course. But now one sees everywhere
posters warning against the molesta-
ton of foreigners, and which call up
on those who may have been mistreat-
ed to make prompt reports, promising
severe punishment for the offenders.
What is more, the promises are kept
strictly, and persons guilty of excuses
against foreigners have been heavily
chances for trouble it was thought best
that German firm names make place
for inscriptions in Russian, and the
Germans were asked to refrain as
much as possible from speaking their
language in public. But the best meas
ure for the protection of the foreign
ers undoubtedly was the prohibition
of the sale of strong alcoholic bever-
ages. Petrograd today has the APP
pearance of being city of sober peo-
pie. While formerly one beheld every
where the repulsive, beastly state of
intoXication of the nooligan-the mob
with whom nobody was safe-today the
street scenes of the capital are more
inviting.
"The many extra editions of the
newspapers speak constantly of victo-
ries of the Russians and French over
the Germans, and it is asserted that
the former are aIready near Berlin.
Foreign papers are vigorously exclud-
ed, and since even the many wounded
are not permitted to come into contact
with the public or see even their rela-
tives, there is no difficulty in keeping
the Russian public under the impress
sion that the Russians are really near
Berlin.
There are no more tourists and the
hotels are empty. In the hotels, more
over, everything has become dear. A
bottle of beer, which formerly cost
20 to % kopeks, now costs 40, while
glass costs rs instead of 10. Food, on
the other hand, has become cheaper.
The war has absolutely put a stop to
exports and prices, therefore, have
gone down. Ten fresh eggs, for in
stance, cost 80 kopeks and fine fat
geese, which formerly cost IL to 4
roubles, can now be had for 120 rou-
bles. Coke can no longer be had at
any price, the small supply on hand
having been confiscated by that mill
tary authorities. The navy is badly of

SPORTING DOPE

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Touchin' on
and appertainin, to the little affair that
takes place at Shibe Park, Philadelphia
today between the Athletics and the
Braves, it may be interesting to note
that the Braves attribute much of their
success to the bat boy and mascot,
Johnny Beans Ralph Waldo Emerson
Connolly. Johnny is typical Boston
lad, bespectacled, high-browed and
dainty in appearance. He was engaged
last July and Immediately after his en-
gagement the Braves began to climb.
No grin of joy lights his sallow coun-
tenance when Joey Connally or Hank
Gowdy bust up perfectly good ball
game with healthy base hit. No howl
of glee cracks his throat when Rabbit
Maranville spears a liner with two
out and the bases full. Little Johnny
simply claps his hands and gazes heav-
onward as if in prayer.

Gossip of Tuesdays Market.

Sioux Sity, Ia.-Tuesday's fat cat
tie market was quoted strong to Toe
higher at the upturn of a dime on
Monday. The strength thus far this
week has been due to a falling off in
receipts and has come on all grades
with the best of we'll fattened kinds
being favored strongly. Beeves are
ouotable at $500 q S.S5, fat and
killing COWS and heifers $5.75 a
7.75; canners and thin COWS $3.50 a
$50, veal calves $500 q $50 and
bulls and stays $500 q $50.
The moderate supply of stockers
and feeders changed ownership on a
10c lower basis at the weakness noted
on Monday. Female feeding stock is
about steady with last week while
steer grades are off 10 a 15c. Quo
tations: Feeders $6.65 @ 1865, calv-
es and yearlings s6.75 a $50 and
feeding cows and stock heifers $500
a 1925. The week is opening with
only a fair country outlet.
1t was a still lower deal in hogs on
Tuesday and the loss amounted to
about a dime from the trading basis
of Monday. For the week prices are
off 10 q 15c.
Steady prices with those of the
day before governed in fat sheep and
lambs. AS compared with late last
week there is a weaker tone to the
trade.
