trians?
There is no doubt whatever that Aus
TRANS in this country have made as much
trouble for this government with relation
to the prosecution of the war, as the Ger
mans themselves. There has not been per-
haps on their part SO organized an effort at
obstruction, nor have they PARALLEL the
Germans in intrigue on a vast scale. But
individually the Austrians have operated
persistently and vieiously and with notable
success.
But we are not at war with Austria, and
while actually they are our enemies diplo-
matically they are not. And just now it is
not very pain how they can be brought un-
der this new ruling.
This Austrian situation is strange one
all around. Plans are afoot to form an in
ternational war cabinet, composed of rep
resentatives of all Entente nations, for
the unification of the Allies war efforts.
America will be represented on this board,
and the board will be organized to combat
Austria as we'll as Germany.
Will someone rise and answer the riddle,
when IS an enemy not an enemy?

Beauty.

There is an old saying that beauty
is only skin deep, but that Is far from
the truth. Beauty is founded on good
health-without that there is no real
beauty. You can cover up a muddy
or sallow complexion with face pow
der, but it vol not be beautiful. A
hon1ely woman in good health Is usu-
ally more interesting and more charm
ing than a bilious dyspeptic beauty.
Constipation and a sluggish liver i'm
pair good looks. If you are troubled
in this way take Chamberlain's Tab
lets and you will soon be looking bet
ter and feeling better.-Adv.

RAILROAD EARNINGS

The Railway Age Gazette publishes
some statistics of railroad earnings and ex-
penses which are of more than passing in
terest. The figures are based on railroad
operations for the month of August, and
show, according to the Gazette, during that
month the total earnings of class 1 roads
in August which include all the railways
of any considerable size, were $685., 316, 147,
the article states "This Was an increase
of $13,5OO,OOO over the earnings of last
June, which previously held the record. The
increase per mile of line over August, 1916,
was MA per cent.
Total operating expenses were $246.-
341 .511, or almost S8.OOO,OOO greater than
those Of May, 1917, which previously was
the record month for expenses. The in
crease in operating expenses per mile as
compared with August, 1916, was 2O.8 per
cent?
Analysis of the figures shows, according
to the Gazette, that although the earnings
were greater than ever before, the ex-
penses mounted so enormously, that the
month actually showed loss as compared
with the same period of last year

Coal Famine Drives Them South.

around by Sanford and Trilby.
And the one big reason for all
this is the coal famine. 1t is cold
up north now and the supply Of coal
is short. The editor of the Com

NEWLOWS IN COTTON IN EARLY TRADING
Sharp Upturn Follows on the Atlantic Coast
 Storm

New York, September 1s-The cotton
 market was extremely nervous today, and there were violent fluctuations. De- eember contracts sold as low as 1s.5Sc on an early afternoon break which car red all deliveries into new low grounds for the season, but rallied to 20.04c in the late trading. and closed at l9.s6c. The general market closed very steady at net advance of 41 points on Septem- Der and of 6 to Is points on late deliv- cries. Reiterated reports of a relatively firm spot basis in the southwest ana some nervousness over the low barome- ter reported off southern Florida. prob ably stimulate ted the demand, while the break of over 1 cent per pound since early yesterday morning, in itself, was sufficient to screate reactionary senti- ment Prices rallied pretty sharply, selling about 10 to 15 points net higher before the end of morning, but as soon as covering tapered off, there was re- newed weakness, with selling again be- coming active and general. An idea that the good weather for picking in the south would soon lead to increasing re- ceipts seemed to be the chief factor on the break which carried october off to 19S0c and January to l9.45c, or 40 to 45 points from the high level of the morn ing and about 30 to 36 points net lower. This made a break of 115 to 122 points from yesterdays high and the market later rallied very rapidly on reports Of high winds now along the sAtlantic coast and rumors that big government orders would be placed in the market for cotton goods early next month.

NEW CORN FUTURES
 STRONG ON RAINS
Probable Delay to the New Crop Is Chief Cause
 for Rise

Chicago, September 13.-Corn prices ran upward today, influenced mainly by up- welcome rains in Iowa and by a forecast of unsettled weather for the greater DOT ton of the rest of the corn belt. The market closed strong, 2a29sc net higher at sL1eMG1.2o December. and SLHq1.17i5 May Oats gained 1Qlssc and provisions 12q4Oc
 As dry weather Is needed if the corn crop is to mature ahead of killing frosts, the ascent of values in the corn pit re- ouired but little time to get started. On the ensuing bulgesp there was consider able selling from houses with eastern connections, but the offerings were well absorbed, and the market finished at the topmost point reached. Scantiness Of supplies of old corn tended also to favor the buying side, but this circumstance was later offset by assertions that rural offerings to arrive had become more lib- eral and that eastern demand had slowed nearly to halt.
 Fears that threshing and shipping would be delayed by wet weather gave decided strength to oats.
 OWlng 10 scantiness or arrlvals, wheat could not be supplied in amounts equal to the wants of millers. A shortage but no famine in flour is in prospect, ac- cording to prominent expert here. He predicted that wheat receipts at all pri- mary markets would soon increase from day to day.
 Provisions reflected the advance of corn. Government buying was almost continuously in evidence.

TRADING IS MIXED
 IN STOCK MARKET
But Majority of List Make New Lows and Are
 Very Weak

New York, September 13.-Pressure on the stock market was less severe today, but the tendency was still downward. New low points for the movement were reached by many standard shares, among which the railroads figured most proni- nently. The principal opposing influence consisted of the requirements of the shorts, which led to buying on the breaks in sufficient volume to bring about tenn porary reactions and the movement as . whole was irregular.
 Liquidation of investment stocks, which .t las been most disturbing feature of the recent declines, involved several Issues which hitherto have not been contem- plated in this connection, but at the pres eEt price levels, Holders were less in csned to press them on, the market. There was enough of this selling, how ever, to check any tendency toward sus- tained improvement in St. Paul, which sold down to 58; Reading, Northwestern, Lehigh valley, Canadian Pacific, Nor folk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio showed signs of pressure at times.
 That the decline was not carried further probably was due to the large extension of the short interest recently There was evidence of an oversold condition In spots, and toward the close the demand from the shorts becakas more insistent, result ing in a good reilly in the last hour.

showed general desire to take short profits.
 Cotton had another spasm of weakness on accumulated overnight selling orders from Liverpool and Wall street, which brought prices Into new, low ground for the season. Anticipation of increased pressure by southern holders of cotton was one reason given for the weakness. Weld was against the market and was a free seller. This firm Is bearish on the theory that the south cannot finance 20-cent cotton. In regard to this 1t is my opinion he is making the biggest mis- take of his life. The south was never in better shape to finance cotton in it's his- tory. Furthermore, the south never has had less carry-over to finance or less food to buy. Short covering induced by storm warning for the Atlantic coast caused a rally in the afternoon, which recovered most of the days losses.

 New Orleans, September 13.-While the cotton market here felt severe pressure today here were priods of strength, one of which came just nthe close, putting prices to the highest levels of the day, where they were at net rise of to 19 points Last prices showed net gains of to IS points.
 Opening at the decline, the market lost nearly $1 bale in the early trading, but recovered and went to a net ad- vance of to IS points on the rumor of storm in the Gulf of Mexico On the denial of the rumor by the weather bu- reau heavy selling developed under which the market fell sharply. Selling was increased by the rumor that fresh evidence of Swedish diplomatic duplic- ity had been revealed. This selling movement lasted until the early after noon when prices of the most active months were 31 to 36 points under the level of yesterdays close. steadier feeling resulted when shorts commenced to realize profits but no great strength appeared until storm warning from the South Atlantic coast was posted.
 The feature of the day was the crop estimate for Texas of only 2.5UO0OO bales. which caused buying. Some of the late buying appeared to be based on the> be- flew that the first consumption report of the season from the census bureau due tomorrow morning. would be favor- able.

 Bears made capital out of everything, attacking the market when the weather bureau denied rumofs of another storm in the gulf and selling on a large scale following reports that further diplomatic duphcity on the part of Sweden had been revealed, report that was not con- firmed by the early afternoon press dis patches. The selling of the day had no substantial reasons back of it and was. to all appearances, merely the reflection of underlying bear sentiment.
 Toward the close shorts became nervous over storm warning for disturbance in the Atlantic off the Georgia coast. moving north, and the market buiged to a net gain of g to 1s points. The close was to 1a points up net.
