duets.

No one can tell what will be the
outcome OF Germany's submarine war
lare, but the chances are that it's eff
fect on cotton prices Is greater now
than it will be later. If Germany can
not prevent ships getting to England,
cotton will continue to go there in
greater or smaller quantities. On the
other hand, If Germany can stop com
mercc with England, the war will not
last long. and peace will boost cotton
prices again. The same principles ap-
py In the case Of tobacco. When the
war began, cotton prices were forced
far too low, as everybody now knows,
and we believe the same sort OF cx-
citemcnt Is again forcing prices too
low.
The conclusion OF the whole matter
is that we sec no reason why holders
or spot cotton should rush to sell II.
On the other hand, with prices OF feed
stui1s and foodstuffs as high as they
are. there should certainly be no
temptation to one-crop farming this

New castle, Pa, Nov. 16.-Posses of
deputy sheriffs and state constabulary
are searching for four bandits who
shortly after noon Thursday held up an
automobile containing A. D. Farrell,
superintendent of the G. w. Johnson
Limestone company, and two en-
ployes, and after shooting to death
one of the employees, Tony Sack, and
wounding Farrell, escaped with ST. 900
in pay roll envelopes, late today found
one of the alleged holdup men dead
in a clump of bushes near the scene OF
the holdup and shot another of the
bandits who had concealed himself in
tree about mile from the robbery.
In the possession of the bandits was
$1,000, of the money taken from the
Farrell automobile.
Farrell Hit by Bullet.
The superintendent party was fired
upon while passing along lonely
road en- route to Hillsyille to pay the
company's employees. Farrell, who
was driving, was hit by bullet and
the machine ran into a ditch. Sack
was killed, while Geo. Mcbride, the
third member of the party, escaped
uninjured by dropping to the floor OF
the machine. The four men rushed to
the automobile and, each taking one
of the four boxes of pay envelopes, es-
capped through the bushes.
Drives to HiI!sviIle.
Mcbride righted the automobile and
drove to Hillsville with Sacks body
and with Farrell, who was placed in
a hospital.
Two hundred workmen from the
company's quarries took up the search
for the four men. The posse was
Joined by Newcastle police and men,
bers OF the Pennsylvania constabulary.
Within 200 yards Of the spot where
the hcldup occurred, a body was
found. In the hands of the man, who
was later identified as Mat Gallo, adj
dress unknown was one of the pay
envelope boxes containing $4,000. 1t
is believed Gallo was killed by one or
his companions, as the posse had
fired no shots until that time.
Hides in Tree.
A few minutes later the posse dis
covered another of the alleged ban
dts in tree. He was ordered to de-
scend, and when he failed to do SO, a
member of the posse fired and ne
fell from the tree with bullet wound
through his mouth. Five thousand
dollars was found in his possession.
He was identified as Mayek Zorko, ad-
dress also unknown. He was removed
to a hospital and will recover.
Late tonight no trace had been
found of the two men~,who escaped.
It is believed they have the remainder
of the pay roll, $1,000.

Claim They Are Playing Losing
Game by Reason Of Taxes
and Expenses.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Express COM
panies today applied to the interstate
commerce commission for an increase
of 10 per cent in their rates.
The Adams, American, Southern and
Wells, Fargo companies, making the
application in behalf of themselves
and other express companies, set
forth that they had suffered net
loss of $39,S4S as the result of in
creases in operating expenses and
taxes during the first six months Of
this year.
The companies assert that they are
carrying on greatly increased business
under the most trying conditions"
1t is increasingly difficult, their appli-
cation says, to obtain necessary labor,
and frequent and substantial advances
in wages are said to have been neces-
sary to retain the employees. Present
rates, the companies declare, ARE in
sufficient for service under existing
abnormal conditions and do not pro-
duce sufficient revenue to meet the &C
tual operating expenses and taxes Of
your petitioners"

scured by reason Of the fact that no
direct advices are being received from
Petrograd or Moscow, the Italian stu.
alton is of transcendant interest in
the news of the world war.
Everywhere along the battle front
the Italians are holding the enemy
in check, except in the billy region in
the vicinity of the Asiago plateau,
where additional gains have been
made by the invaders. The new adj
yances by the Teutonic allies, as OBJ
served on the war maps, do not in
dictate that points of extremely great
strategetic value have been won, but
father that the Italians on various
sectors have given ground before great
superior numbers, and at the same
time Strengthened out and lessened
the length of their front.
In the hills north of the Venetian
plains, General Diaz, the new COM
mander in chief of the Italians, has
withdrawn his advanced posts south of

the battle front meets the upper

Notwithstanding the arduous re-
treat from the Ison2o westward, the
Italians evidently have been able to
reinforce their northern line sufficient
~ to give battle to the enemy in such
strength as to prevent a precipitate
invasion of the lowlands, where un-
doubtedly it is the ambition of the
enemy to turn the flank of the de-
tenders and force withdrawal of
their line still farther westward.
Along the Pave from the region of
Feltre to the Adriatic the invaders at
numerous points have endeavored to
make new crossings of the river, but
everywhere they have been thwarted
Those already on the west bank of the
river are being hard held to their

rifle fire of the Italians keeping them
