Another Letter from Mr.. Pyles

Mr.. Richard F. W. Pyles, of Surratts-
vile, writes again from Eagle Pass

F. LIST, Md, Inf, Aug Is.
"We have commenced Battalion drill
and the deployment of troops in man
euver. The majority of the boys in
the regiment welcome the change as
the squad drills and exercises under
company commanders had begun to be
monotonous.
On Saturday we liked from 7:3O A.
M. to 5 P. M. Advance guards and
scouting parties will be sent out to
protect our flank and firing line from
the sudden attack of the enemy. We
will march under heavy equipment.
Our packs will be composed of shells
half, poncho, blanket, haversacks and
mess kit. In addition to this we will
carry our knife, bayonet, belt and 80
rounds of ammunition. Personally |
am looking forward to the march with
much pleasure. There were three
causes for excitement in camp last
night. The first was that we would be
paid at 9 a. M, the next day, which
news caused wild rejoicing as the camp
is without stamps or soap. We, having
received only the twelve days pay com
ing to us from the month of June.
The second was an airship lowering
over the camp and dropping infam-
mable bombs. The spectacle was beauti
full especially when the search lights
were turned on trying to locate it.
The last instance was the transfer OF
troops K & L to ranch south of here
to prevent an attack by bandits from
the Mexican side.
Rumors are thick in camp as to the
time when we will depart for home,
but as they vary so widely have given
I'D thinking about it.
have met a little Senorita in the
town of Eagle Pass and have spent
many a pleasant hour on the high cliffs
overlooking the Rio Grande.
The moon, rising out of the desert in
all it's splendor and glory, adds to the
lustre of the beautiful Mexican girls,
eyes. l am getting sentimental now
so shall close, telling you earnestly
that the greatest enemy l have notices

Tobacco Growers And Exporters
Protest.

Fifty tobacco exporters and growers
from Maryland, Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and Kentucky, in con-
ferences Monday with the Senators and
Representatives from those states, ur-
ged that the United States threaten
Great Britain with reprisals if she does
not lift her embargo on American to-
bacco shipments into Germany and
Austria-Hungary through Holland.
Senanor Martin, of Virginia, suggested
such course and the tobacco growers
received it with favor.
One of the startling features of the
conference was. the statement of Marion
Letcher, foreign trade adviser of the
State Department, that Great Britain
had granted concession to the British
American, an English corporation, to
import more tobacco than last year
This is taken to mean that Great Brit
lain will dispose of this surplus tobacco
to her allies. Mr.. Letcher's declaration
is accepted as confirmation of charges
that Great Britain laid the embargo
on tobacco shipments to Germany and
Austria for the purpose of depreciating
the price of tobacco in America, so that
the British-American company can buy
the product cheaper in the United
States.
The tobacco men made no effort to
disguise the fact that the British en-
barge has created a critical situation
in the American tobacco fields. The
tobacco growers of Maryland alone, it
was declared by DR.. Richard S. Hill,
director of the Farmers Institutes of
the Maryland State College of Agricul-
ture, faces a loss of 100000 if the
British embargo is enforced; Kentucky,
Virginia, and Tennessee will lose S1O,-
OOO,O 900.
1.-THE Maryland tobacco crops this
wear" sis estimated at $4,000, 900
pounds, an increase of abont 1000, 900
pounds over the normal crops. Mary
land sells about 40 per cent. of her to-
bacco to France. Approximately 80
per cent. is sold through Holland to
other countries in Europe. If England
maintains her embargo upon tobacco
shipments to Holland the door is closed
to the markets which consume one-half
of Maryland's crop. At the present
price of tobacco that means loss OF
81 800, 900 to Maryland growers.
"With all other markets cut off j,
France and Italy are left as our only
buyers and they will feel that they can
force the Maryland growers to take any
price they name. In other words, we
are left at the mercy of France and
| Italy so far as price is concerned

He Puts His I75

Chickens In I Coat
MAN BELIEVED TO BE RESPONSE.
BILE FOR RECENT POULTRY
RAIDS, FINALLY NABBED.

How 175.pound negro can ge; him
self and Ia full grown chickens into
a size 40 coat, and wear it naturally,
without attracting undue attention, is
a thing that can be explained only by
Genie Evans who today began work
ing out fine of $50 on the streets of
Hattiesburg.
Evans was arrested at o'clock this
morning by Policeman Tom Moore, as
he was coming up the Mississippi Cen
trail railroad tracks, and was headed
toward one of the negro restaurants
in that section. 1t was an unusual
hour for Evans to be out, and the pa
trolman stopped to converse with him
a while. The negro became fidgity
when the policeman began inspecting
him. Moore ran his hands over the
mans portly form, threw back his coat
which was fastened together in front
with pieces of wire, and IA chickens
fell to the ground.
Several chicken coops have been
raided recently, and the police have
conducted fruitless search for the
thieves. The mayor was convinced
that Evans was the man responsible
for them. He was given fine Of $5I
in Police Court.

This is the reports received by local

of this part of the state, today.
Everything Indicated month ago,

potatoes were of an exceptionally
