Some Remarkable RecOveries From GunshOt Wounds Recorded by Prince Grey, Managing Knights of Mal-

(By Nellie Bly.)

 Every moment had it's new inter est. The trains we met, filled with happy confident soldiers in new fresh uniforms, their cars decorated with the Austrian and Hungarian color' and branches from pine trees, made my throat contract. Fine looking healthy, frank-eycd, splendid fellows all just at the early threshold ol manhood.

When got up at daylight we were running parallel with a road. The road was lined with wagons. l counted 300 and gave it up. When our train finally took a different course, l saw, quite a long while after, an end or part of that caravan winding between two hills.

CINCE Christmastide belongs by i natural right to the younger contingent, frocks for the girls and costumes for the boys are of especial interest, and happily there are many ideally. adapted to their beeds. The general trend is towards D delightfully."- youthful effect and most fascinating dancing frocks are shown Tor the girls of all ages from the nur- tery to the college. In general way. 1t may be said that Empire effects are conspicuous, but we are seeing many curious combinations and many re- quits that cannot properly be called by any name. Wide full skirts are gaining in favor and it is not uncom- mon to see skirt of generous width edged with a cord to accentuate its width, yet joined to an extremely short bodice and finished above the waist in Empire style. Again basques are conspicuous and tiny little basques that are intended for evening wear are used both over skirts that are cut at the high waist line. although we know that basques and the Empire period are far removed. and in that day of real grace and real art in dress, skirts were narrow and clinging. They did not flare and they were not stiffened in any. way whatsoever To be sure. we are not bound to copy, we arc free to take from this period and from that. and often it is the combi- nation of two different periods that produces what is known as originality. but it is hardly reasonable to dub a costume Empire the skirt of which is made to flare as freely as may be at its lower edge.
 Materials as well as designs are beautiful; in fact, we are living in a period of marvellous fabrics, and just now great deal of gold and silver trimming. gold and silver brocade, crystal fringe and beads applied to produce wonderfully scintillatine effects are greatly in vogue, SO that it ls really. ravishing opportunity if that opportunity is used aright. Sleeves for the older girls are apt to be very trifling affairs for the evening frocKs, sometimes they do not exist at all, and when they are found, they often take the form of soft drapery They are all very charming, very girlish and very attractive, and il they are well managed and we'll fitted but 1t is sad to state that these condi lions do not always exist. Too ofter there Is carelessness and a resultan, exposure that is not at all suggestiv,
 pf beauty, and has nothing for al
 txcuse. The arm that is slightl,
 iraped at the shoulder is apt to b'
 snhanced, but the arm that is Jeff
 tggressively bare or that reveals to'
 much when it is lifted by the dance
 isan arm shorn of all of its attraction

u. P. SURPLUS LESS
Decrease Due Largely to Dis
tribution of B. & o. Stock.

4 preliminary report for the fiscal
wear ended June 30, issued by the
Union Pacific Railroad yesterday, in
GLIDING the Oregon Short Line and the
Oregon Washington Railway & Navi-
cation Company. showed a net surplus
after Geducting all fixed and other
charges and dividends on the preferred
and common stock Of S6,626.955. a de-
crease Of $2,704 ,470. The surplus
available for dividends on the common
stock was S28.392 023. equivalent to
1925 per cent on the 1929 POI 900 out
standing. This compares with 1910
Ter cent earned in 1914. OF the per
centage shown last year $50 per cent
was from operations and 5.3S per cent
from investments.
The decrease in surplus was due al
most entirely 10 distribution of the
company's Baltimore & Ohio stock and
transfer of income thereon to stock
holders direct. Total operating reve-
uueS last year were $S6,95S,29 a de-
crease Of $5I57.037. and operating in
come was $31. 456.244. a decline of ST.
25S,S32. Operating expenses showed a
decrease Of $3.273,5 $50.

BUYING AMERICAN
BONDS CRITICISED
Times" of London, Approves
Sudden Stop in Govern
ment" Bidding.
lBy Cable to The 1'Hbuue.l

London, Aug. 3.-"The Times" says:
whether it be that the purchases Of
American bonds before the August bank
holiday were on behalf of American
finance houses with proceeds OF British
government disbursements or on behalf
of the British government itself, they
seem quite properly to have ceased sud
denly.
purchases were going on at a price
several points above what tinanclers OF
the United States could give for bonds.
Indeed. there is some reason TO believe
that these fnanciers might have been
tempted, had buying been continued, to
seize the opportunity for unloading
from across the Atlantic any British
stamped bonds they could manage to
sell here.
Should the British government re-
duire American bonds to deposit with
American bankers as security for tenn
porary loans until such time as, what
appears to be inevitable, British loan
is issued in the United States, then the
best method of procuring those bonds
is certainly not TO purchase them in the
market. That is a clumsy method and
is exceedingly expensive, because large
purchases naturally put up the price TO
an abnormal level against the buyer.
1T would doubtless be within the
power Of the government to secure the
bonds it requires by negotiations with
insurance companies, trust companies
and other large holders of American
bonds here. Options could be obtained
on the basis of a price which would
yield about AZ per cent, and by ar
rangement the bonds could be shipped
to New York for deposit as security for
temporary borrowing"

RAINY WEATHER
ADVANCES COTTON
Liverpool Buyers Stimulate the
Market-Gains 3 Points
at Close.

The weather news was q dominating
factor in the cotton market yesterday
and chiefly responsible for the loss Of
the opening advance of II 20 IA points,
which followed much frmer cables
than expected. 1t early became evl-
dent that the Eastern and Central
belts had received considerable moist
ure, and when the later details arrived
showing heavy rainfall in Georgia and
South Carolina, the market weakened
20 lowest Of the day, October selling
at 9.22, or 10 points from the forenoon
high level and l point under the pre-
vious nights close. Details from the
Houston district showed scattered
showers in the central and southwest
parts of Texas, and bears pointed out
that the rainfall in Texas during July
was generally heavier than in the
same month a year ago. 1t was the
heavy August precipitation last year,
however, which made the Texas crop.
AT any rate, taken in connection with
the absence of any extended high tenn
pcrature, these showers in Texas Gre
ated a more bearish sentiment in a
trade on the idea that drouthy condi-
tons had at least been partially re-
lieved, and there was n possibility
that approaching lower temperatures
might produce further rainfall In the
next few days. Liverpool was the chief
buyer in the early trade, taking about
10000 bales out of the market. At
midday New Orleans showed leading
strength for time, but soon relapsed
into heaviness under the influence OF
the weather details. Although eX-
ports for the day were only 1858
bales, freight brokers at New Orleans
reported better demand for room and
said the available room for August
had already been taken up and there
was demand for more, especially to
Genoa. A cotton factor from Mobile,
Ala, stated yesterday that the reduc-
ton in Alabama acreage would exceed
the figures given by the government
in July, as since the date of the re-
port much cotton in the weevil-infest-
ed distrists has been ploughed up and
replanted to corn. As money is easy,
il is believed farmers should have no
difficulty in securing crop advances.
None Of the selling during the day
! suggested any increased disposition to
/ hedge old or prospective new crop
supplies, which perhaps accounted for
the comparatively quick rallies which
followed each attempt to cover. The
market closed steady at net advance
of to 8 points. Southern spot mar
kets were unchanged yesterday

u. S. TO ship ALL
MONEYS BY MAIL
Registered Post Supplants
Express August 16-Pro-
vision for Insurance.
IRON The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Aug. 3.-Beginning
August IS, all public moneys ard Sc
curites will be transported by mail,
instead of by express, according to an
order issued to-day by Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo. It was stated
at the Treasury Department that TINS
would result in a saving OF thousands
Of dollars annually. The new practice
changes the policy Of quarter OF d
century, during which the government
has paid hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars to express companies for the
transportation of moneys and seeuri-
ties between the Treasury, Sub-Treas-
ury and banks.
For several months Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson and Secretary McAdoo
have been testing the feasibility OF
making all shipments by mail.
Moneys and securities will move by
registered mail and will be insured.
Invitations have been sent to all the
big surety companies to bid for the
insurance business o. protecting the
money shipments, as it is not the IN
tentiOn of the government to carry
its own insurance. Moneys and secur-
ity belonging to the government will
be sent under frank and will have the
benefit of free registration, the only
expense to the government being the
cost of insurance.
Banks pay now for the transporta-
ton of moneys and securities 20 and
from the Treasury or sub-treasurles.
Under the new plan they will have to
pay only the small postage rates,
registration fee and insurance
To handle the business the Post
Office Department will establish a
branch postoffice in the Treasury
Building, occupying quarters formerly
used by the express companies. IL
was said at the Treasury that the new
system would be much faster than the
express service, especially as frequent
" the service Of the express compa-
nies does not cover q direct line, but
is circutous.
The action Of the Treasury Depart
nent followed the receipt of bids from
the express company for the fiscal
year Of 1915, which, it was stated,
showed only a negligible reduction
from the rates now in force. The gov
eminent entered into an arrangement
with the United States Express Com
pany in 1889, which was modified on
June l, 1912, making the rate 20 cents
a thousand dollars TO all points
reached by its own lines, and from 30
cents to $3.50 a thousand dollars on
other lines.
