SIGNS Of WIN 1ERs
COLD ARE SHOWING
IN NORTH FRANCE

BOULOGNE, France. Nov. l5-Signs
are nIentiful that winter is close upon
tho troons in the North of France. The
rights are already cold, far too cold
for comfort and the characteristic
winter night-mist from the marshes is
in III eair. The trees are not yet bare,
but the leaves that remain have turn
ed to a sere yellow, while the road
wavs are covered with fallen leaves
which the soldiers here and there heap
into little piles for fragrant warm
ing fire.
It is evident that there ia to be an
other winter campaign; robbed, how
ever. of much of the horror of last
wears ordeal in DOGGY trenches and
along impossible roads. In Northern
f, ance. at least, winted will find the
rival armies we'll prepared to receive
it, The wet mud, the ice-cold water
knee-deep in the communication
trenches. the ooze and discomfort of
the dugouts, will be the exception
rather than the rule this year. The
shelters. even in the advance trenchc-
es. will generally be fairly livable,
thanks to the plentiful use of concrete
d tar. and the skilfull employment
of drainage.
Moreover, the armies will be proper
ly clad and amply fed. The British
soldiers will again don their sheep
skins, supplemented by ample supplies
CT warm caps, sox and heavy boots of
rather better type than last years.
Many of the trenches now have brick
floors, and practically all are drained
and protected against landslide by
timbers
The great problem of the winter
will be the billeting of all the new di-
visions which have come out since last
year. In the villages we'll behind the
firing lines, every outbuilding and old
barn has been requisitioned, cleaned,
repaired and made into shelter against
the wind and cold. But nearer the
! firing lines most of the buildings have
been smashed into ruins, and although
they were unstable for housing pur-
poses during the summer, they are
calmly impossible after mid November.
The problem is being dealt with to
some extent by the building of port
a0le houses and huts, but the armies.
grow too fast for the carpenters.
! The work of the aeroplane observers
gets more difficult as winter approach

to the ground in little patches we'll into

Securities Already Advanced
AS outlined in the foregoing state
ment by Mr.. Warfield, it is pointed out
that under the new financial plans
and consolidation all classes of securl-
ties of the Seaboard Air Line railway
would be greatly benefited, not only
the bonds of the railway and its con-
stituent properties, but both issues OF
preferred and common stock would be
made more valuable. That this is gen
orally recognized is evidenced by the
large increase in the market quota
tions of the stocks, and all Seaboard

edge on the part of the stockholders
of the value to the securities under
the proposed financial arrangements
and as additional evidence OF the man
ner in which the plans have been re
ceived by the stockholders.
