1t Is probable that 1t will DO a week
or ten days before the Virginia gun
ners leave for Fort Oglcthorpe, as each
organization is badly in need of uni
forms, Undertaking and shoes for
tho men. AS each battery has been
almost doubled in sizc since its re-

great difficulty in getting equipment
for recruits. Now that the commando

nation which will be made before they
enter the Federal service. All men
with dependents have already been

lost on muster-in will be slight in
comparison with tho loss at the out
break OF the Mexican trouble.
The artillery arm OF the service is

Being mounted branch. the field ar

is constantly changing, and there Is
so much to learn that it does not

Efforts to complete the organization
OF tho full regiment OF field artillery

confidently believed by State mill

the necessary batteries and staff COM

Virginia positively will have full

have five full batteries. Including the

Meanwhile. Major Workman is work
ing hard on the plans for the regiment.
Two batteries and a headquarters and
supply company were needed to COM
plete the regiment when the increase
was authorized by the War Depart
ment. The battery at Danville was in
spected on Friday night. being above
the maximum war strength and COM
posed of a fine body Of young men.
The headquarters and the supply COM
panies have been recruited up to
within a few men OF the required
number and are strong enough to take
the field. The sixth and last battery
will be shortly organized, and even if
the First Battalion is sent away, the
remaining organizations will be sent
forward just as soon as they are ready.

China Won't Need To Pay German
 Debt

PEKIN-China's entry into tho European war on the side of the allies will relieve the Chinese government of interest payments upon obligations owed to the German government and German corporations aggrcgating nearly s235, ,00o.O 900 gold The great est single obligation China owes to Germany is the Boxer indcminty money, amounting to about $t0G, G,5G5. GOO gold. The next items in importance are two loans of siO.OO0. 900 gold each known us the first and the second An glo-German loans and negotiated through the German Asiatic Bank Gcrmany's portion of the reorganiza- tion loan participated in by the five power group is $25.O00 900 gold. Rail- way loans made by the German-As tie Bank aggregate over $4.0O0 ,OOO gold
 In addition there are miscellaneous short term loans made by various German firms which are estimated at a total of $IOOO,oo0 gold.
 German mining properties whose value is estimated at $15000O0 gold will probably be taken over by the Chinese government and sold, the Chinese government holding the money until the conclusion of peace.
 The German-Asiatic Bank with branches at Pckin, Tientsin, Tsnanfu. Tsingtau, HankoW and Canton, is the largest German concern doing business in China and has a capital of ahout $7,ooo,o00 gold. It is charged that this bank has financed much of the German intrigue throughout the Orient

French Modiste Limits Skirt Lenoht

PARLS-Thc Paris Drcssmakera' Syndicate Chamber. tho association of all the chief houses. has informed the government. in answer to an official inquiry, that the length of wool cloth. for dresses for the winter of l917-1S. will not exceed Az metres. a little less than five yards.
 The director of one of the best houses in Paris and I.ondon inter viewed on this decision, which seems to foreshadow the continued use of short skirts and insure the tailor made costume as general wear said:
 "The diminution of the length of cloth used in wool costumes has really been in effect since last season. With out any general agreement, merely un- der the pressure of necessity, dress mak CTS had already restricted the amount used before the war by p per cent Army needs, In America as well as France and the diminished production in the two countries oblige us to con tinue along these lines. Of course We shall make no attempt to get around the Chambers decision by ordering cloth of greater width; we shall rather try to employ a mixture of materials. combining wool materials with silk and silk or cotton velvet.
 "The recent decision cannot affect our models for next winters gowns for they were ready before 1t was reached.

Special Correspondence A. p.


 BEZIERS, France,-t'renchmen are in no danger of going thirsty this year, but they will pay dearly for their fla vorite beverage unless the government can check speculation in wine
 The yield of grapes will be from 40 to 50 per cent greater than that of last year; last years crop was nearly fifty per cent greater than that of 1915, yet wine costs twice as much as it did year ago and three times as much as it did in 1914. Ordinary table wines then sold at the equivalent of 8 cents a quart for red and 10 cents for white at retail. They bring twenty five cents, respectively today.
 Acquisitions for the army, lack of distributing facilities. scarcity of wine casks, bottles, and wine tank cars in sufiiciency of help, and cost of fer tiliZers and chemicals, and the natural economic effect of war are given here in the wine country as the reason for the rise. Another reason is the pur- chase of wine on the vine" and sue ccssivc transfers of the crop from one speculator to another, even before the grapes have ripened, the same system as adopted by coal spectators in coal importation licenses last winter.

SPECuLAT0RS INCREASE
 COST OF FRENCH WINES

This abnormal dealing has made or dinary wines relatively dcarer than the fine wines. Burgundcs, clarets, and good white wines, generally are abun- dant and have not increased excessive ly in price. They are not so much subject to speculation and they escape acquisitions. but they suffer quite as much as ordinary grades, even more in some cases. from insufficient supply of bottles and casks.
 The minister of provisions proposes to either requisition the entire crop annulling all speculative contracts, and supervise the distribution to the retail trade, or fix a maximum selling price at which common wines may be sold tO the consumer.
 The opinion of the wine country was thus expressed by a grower of the Gard; "They propose to limit the avails of the winegrowers' work, but no one has ever talked about keeping down the profits of the m-rcnant who sells Us sulphate of copper and sulphcr," he said. "The great danger in these pro- jects for limiting selling prices or re- questioning at arbitrary figures is that wine growers will simply abandon their VinoVardS. COnSpOuence. a scar city of wine and higher prices yet"
