TOUCHING TRIBUTE
 ID VON H|NDENbURG
Answers Letter From School Girl in Hagen-Big
 Christmas Mail

Posen, Germany. January 4.-tCor- respondence of the Associated Press.) or the many letters of congratulation and advice which Field Marshal Won
 1iindenburg receives every day from
 friends and admirers in all parts of tho globe few ever reach his eyes As a rule the busy veteran causes one of his adjutants to acknowledge such letters las he thinks require that attention: all others are disposed of by an announce ment in the German and Austro- Hun garian press with m expression of re grct that the general does not have the time to, make any other form of acknowledgment.
 An exception has been made by Gen eral Von Hinderburg in the case of a letter which reached him few days ago and which was written by a young schoolgirl in Hagen. The letter was written in the German familiar pronoun
 'du" of which tho English thou" Is the
 equivalent, and reads:
 Dear Field Marshal: You have given us much pleasure. Such a thrashing served the Russians right. and I am no longer afraid of them. though am still very small. You arc helping us and that Is enough. l promise to knit very industriously for you and your soldiers. and will beg the Christ child to bring you something very beautiful--no doubt You will be getting great deal, be- cause you are so kind and loyeable. Will you also have Christmas treei Santa Claus ought to bring you a big | one so that all your soldiers could sec 1t. Do you know that our teacher al ways calls me Midget, because l am so small? But I want to grow up so I can help you. Father always saya that you are good enough to kiss. But that can't be done. because you arc far away in cold Russia. Be sure to always wear your overcoat. With best greet ings. TONI SCHMITZ." General Won Hindeburg's Christmas mail was unduly large. but members or his staff say that he answered Tonis letter himself.

TALK OF EMBARGO
 MORE THAN OFFSET
Bearish Effect of Federal Inquiries Fails to Lower
 Price of Wheat

Chicago January 1s.-Announeement of a decrease of nearly 4ooo.o0o bushels in the United States visible supply of wheat tended to act as more than an offset today for the bearish effect oi possible embargo on exports. Prices closed unsettled, but 1hc to s4c above last Saturday night
 Wheat embargo talk had considerable to do with lifting corn today to tn, highest January price in more than et years with the market finishing lisd1ssc above Saturday night Oats gained 2 shade to asc and provision -12laq15c te 22lhc.
 Wheat strength reached it's greatest de- velopment in the last hour of trading, the market becoming somewhat excited by assertions that the export sales of corn were the largest of the year. Fresh export sales of wheat at the seaboard and elsewhere were said to be only 300.00l bushels. On the other hand. most of the owners of wheat reserves In western states were reported to be still holding tight against current offers.
 Corn was the strongest market on the grain list today. Export sales of corn here and at the seaboard were esti- mated at 1so0.o0o bushels. favorite the- ory of the bulls in the corn pit was that to a large extent Europe would either have to eat corn in place of wheat or go without. The fact that the domestic visible supply of corn is the largest on record failed to stop today advance. Oats were held down by heavy selling on the part of one of the prin- cipal warehouse concerns. Export sales of oats were confined to 150,000 bush- els

COTTON GOES UP
 AT NEW ORLEANS Firmest Market in Many Months Shows New High
 Records for Season

New Orleans, January 1s.--On the firm est market in many months cotton to- day advanced S2 to B points, closing at the top. Prices of all options made new high records for the season. and october touched s.05c.A There was much realizing of profits on the long side at the advance, but all offerings were quickly absorbed and brokers found diff ficulty in meeting the demand
 Buying at times were general. Shorts covered against further losses, spot houses were heavy buyers, western traders were in the market for large lots and large business was done for Ger man account Buying was stimulated by reports of heavy calling of cotton by English spinners, complaints from Liver pool that the south was offering little cotton and telegrams from several por- tions of the belt stating that spot hold CTS had assumed an independent atti- tude and were indifferent to bids, even when the bids were alDfull market prices.
 Future prices have now recovered from 125 to 150 points from the lowest levels to which they were sent by the war. Bulls today freely predicted Decent cot ton in the near future, but bears were of the opinion that sharp downward reaction was possible at any time.

NEW HIGH GROUND
 MADE BY COTTON
Active General Buying Movement Boosts Prices
 in New York Market

New York. January 1S--An active gen eral buying movement sent the cotton market here into new high ground for May contracts selling at Ss0 or sS.25 per bale above the low level of last month. The close was firm in spite of heavy real izing, the last prices showing net gains of from g to s4 points for the day.
 The opening was firm at an advance of F to 16 points in response to the con tinued strength of Liverpool. Private cables attributed the advance there to covering and trade buying in the ab- sence of any important offerings from the south, and houses with Liverpool connec- tons were heavy buyers around the local ring. There was heavy realizing and some local selling for reaction, but offerings were readily absorbed on mod crate setbacks and the market ruled generally strong.
 The failure of southern offerings to become heavy enough to suggest any gem eral disposition to hedge spot supplies evidently inspired increased confidence on the bull side and trade interests as we'll as commission houses were active buyers or the advance. which carried the active months B to 36 points above Saturday s closing figures.
 Sales of cotton exchange memberships at advancing prices, the advances of from 1-16c to l4c and the heavier sales in south ern spot markets and the continued large exports doubtless helped the afternoon advance, while there was also talk of an increasing demand from domestic spin ners. The census report on linters ob- tained to January 1 was without any inn mediate market influence.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. January 1s.-(Special.)-Liv- markets because of the demand from the English spinners who, like those on this side of the Atlantic hold small reserve stocks partly on account of the financial situation in the fall and partly because they expected very low prices.
 It would seem from the action of the market that investors had bought so con- sistently that they had foreseen this de- mand and they were not willing to part with their holdings in view of the grow ipg belief in better business conditions
 Needless to say, the trade has thought and does think the advance has been too rapid and expected reaction which has not come. They look for one tomorrow Whether it comes or not will depend on rope tonight.

Even When He Gets Into Hospitals Teuton Shells
 Seem to Be After Him
LONDON SCOTTISH
 WAS SURROUNDED
England Now Chagrined to Know That Men of the Turkish Fleet Were All Trained by
 Englishmen

London. January 2.--tSpecial Core srondence. As a result of one of the most remarkable series of incidents Which the present war has brought to light, member of the famous British volunteer regiment. the London Scot tish, who surely must bear a charmed life. has decided that hospitals are not safe places for him.
 The experience of this soldier, whose name Is Leaske, and who belongs to the first battalion of the Scottish surely must be unique. When the Ser mans bombarded Antwerp. Private Leaske was engaged in business there A German shell made kindling wood of the house in which he was living, ana simultaneously made Leaslxe so mad that he at once returned to EncIand and rejoined the London Scottisls ir whose ranks he has already served He was sent to France with the first bat talion and during an engagement three bullets went through his overcoat with cut hurting him. But a fourth bullet wounded him in the thigh Then his astonishing hospital experiences began He was taken off to a base hospital and had been there only a few days hen tine Germans commenced smelling the building. He was then removed U another hospital which the T.utons also shelled Leaske was again moved but this time the Germans allowed him to rest peacefully.
 Eventually he was taken to England and sent to a fourth hospital in ilartle- pool. But he had not been thcro 2d hours before this building was shelled by the raiding German cruisers. LoasSe then came to the conclusion tiiat nos Litals were no place for him, and he started off to his family in London Their abode has not yet been attacked
 and the much harassed London Scot is getting well fast
