How Tanks Turned the Trick

Henry Farrand Griffin, in Leslles S.
The method of the British attack on
the western front was intensely interest
ing. On a front somewhere between 20
and 80 miles long, between st. Quentin
and Arras large forces of infantry, cav
airy and artillery were concentrated, TO-
gether with very considerable Num-
Der of tanks Of larger design and heav-
Ter armament than any used heretofore.
Apparently the concentration was erect
ed at night or under cover OF misty
weather SO that the Germans had no
inkling of the surprise in stores 1t seems
probable also that the British must nave
held pretty complete control OF the air
along this sector while the concentration
Of men and materials was, under way.
No artillery beyond that ordinarily en-
ployed on this front went into action Pc
fore the attack began. 1t came suddenly
without the slightest warning and TOOK
the Germans completely by surprise. Inc
tanks numbered across No Mans Land
with the infantry following close behind.
They were smashing their way through
the wire entanglements almost before
the Germans knew what was happening
They rolled over the front line trenches,
sile1icing the nest Of machine guns wnile
the infantry was streaming through the
openings already broken in the wire en-

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, December 22-After show

most levels were reached near the close
when the active months were 10 to Is
points up, net. The close showed net
advance of 10 to IL points.
Buying was stimulated largely By re-
ports of firmness in the spot depart
ment and an increasing demand espe-
cially for the better grades. In the
local market it was predicted that white
cotton would Shortly go to a stiff pre-
MUM. Buying of contracts. was fur
Their encouraged by favorable features in
the war news, the trade being inclined
to buy on the reported troubles of the
Bolshevik in Russian and on the re-
ported fire at the Krupp works in Ger
many.
There was little holiday liquidation and
it's absence was discouraging to short
sellers. Offerings were not liberal at
any time and a moderate demand served
to, keep the market at the advance.

New York, December 22.-Continued

cotton market this morning, but yester-

December showed the loss; other deliv-

There were a few overnight selling or

they were very quickly absorbed. First

cember broke from 10000 to 3O31c or
10 points net lower. Other deliveries
sold back to just about the opening prices
but met support on the decline and rail-

Germany and yet a little reflection
would have led to the suspicion at least
that Germany was preparing for imme-
date military operations.
When Antwerp was captured the Ger
man troops seized 100000 tons of nitrates
that were stored there. A part OF this,
if not all, was converted into explosives
chiefly for use in the continued battles
of Verdun 1t has been within a few
days learned in Washington that In two
days battle at verdun the Germans
used more explosives than were con-
stimed in the whole Franco-Prussian
war. Yet 1t is only recently that the
Congress has made an appropriation
sufficient to establish a nitrogen pro-
ducing plant in northern Alabama whose
energy is to be furnished by water
power. 1t is well known in industrial
circles that If the necessary legislation
can be obtained and so drafted chat
public interests will be perfectly pro-
tected. abundant capital will be fur
nished for the utilization of these water
powers not only for the manufacture OF
nitric acid, but many other commodi-
ties, thereby securing a saving in man
power and a very great saving in coal.

general feeling in the trade that the spin

Christmas time. This season it is more
dominant in a quiet way than usual be-
cause of this being the third small crop.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, December 22-The detna nd
for cotton goods has been lighter. vet
values have held very steady owing In
part to the sustained price of cotton and
in larger part to the fully engaged con-
dition of mills and the more popular con-
structions of wide print cloths have eased
a trifle in consequence OF limited sales
in second hands. while others have not
moved either way.
Cotton blankets for fall 1918 have been
sold up and withdrawn by two OF the
largest producer. Wide flannels have
also been sold up and withdrawn. Cling
names continue in steady demand a
recent offering Of plaids In s2-inch
widths at rs cents yard having been
bought eagerly.
1t is a seas0nable, quiet period Of the
year in the wholesale trades, and IL the
market were not in an unusually strong
position further price reeessions would
be looked for. Government and Red
Cross requirements Of cotton mills have
exceeded all early expectations and bid
fair to increase.
