One on the Captains.

The colonel of one of the regiments
is determined to have the captains of
his regiment get up in time for re-
veille. Because they have not been in
the habit of getting up they have been
confined to quarters for month. The
words fitted to the reveille bugle call
apply to some of the officers.
Here is what the bugle says, accord
ing to the old time Army men:
II can't get 'em up, can't get 'em up,
1 can't get 'em up in the morning:
can't get 'em up, l can't get 'em up,

Lieutenants worse than the sergeants,

'My Brown-Haired Girl There"

BY Private Bill Minihan, Co. b. 9th Engineers
Minihan is a good soldier miner from
the far west, but he has a bit Of tom"
Moore in him and this is what he indited
one evening recently upon short notice;
When nights over Anne Arundel county
And silent Camp Meades breast.
And all but the night wind signing
Through the pine trees now at rest;
Yes, while should be sleeping,
II my heart were free from care,
My thoughts 20 back to Texas
To my Brown-Haired Girl there.
Surely the life of q soldier
Should long-snce have charmed me,
And the girls back east so pretty
Be all that care to see,
But my heart. though loath in seeming,
Still Wanders unawares,
And sigh to catch me dreaming
OF Texas far away.
Those winds of Anne Arundel county
That sob in the pine trees gloom
Still sigh in weird commotion
The siren song Of my doom;
For they lure me wherever l wander
To her of the auburn hair,
And softly sing of Texas,
OF my BrOwn-Haired Girl there.
Twas only passing fancy,
Twas only a dream of dreams,
And it passed like cloud breath stealing
Ger Camp Meades woods and fields.
But as dreams leave vague, strange feeling,
And as flowers perfume the air,
My memory treasures Texas
And my Brown Haired Girl there.
Farewell to the joys of camp life,
All, mine is q soldiers doom,
To fight in the mud of Flanders
Or die on your heights, verdun.
Gods blessing on every dwelling
In Texas so fair.
And peace and Joy past telling
To my Bown- Haired Girl there!

A Greater Camp Meade.

According to plans as announced
by the, War Department, Camp
Meade will be the largest of all
the environments. Additional
ground has already been leased,
new barracks are being erected,
so that military operations will
soon be conducted here on a
tremendous scale.
The selection of Camp Meade
as thescatnp to be enlarged to take
care of the need for an increased
war program is probably due to
the fact that it is located SO near
the National Capital.

Comrades With the Book.

Camp Meade is falling into line
with the national plan for enlist
ing men in the camps IN the daily
reading Of the New Testament
The z. M. c. A. has worked out
an original plan for making this
work a great success at Camp
Meade. On Tuesday evening the
plan was presented to the men at
mess throughout the camp, and
already thousands Of men have
been enrolled.
Each man agrees to read some
short passage, about IL verses,
which other comrades" are read
ing that day.
The plan for Camp Meade pro-
vides a leader for each company
or battery, to meet every Sunday
morning in the Y. M. c. A. build
ing in their block. The block
leaders in turn meet on Friday
evenings at the Administration
building with the camp leader,
DR.. James McConaughy.
There is every indication that
Camp Meade will lead the camps
of the country in the number en-
rolled in this movement

Men Like Training.

The new men here under the
second draft are fast getting used
to camp life. The first few days
were "a great strain upon most.
The changed conditions, the bar
racks life, the multitude of strange
faces, the strenuousness of the
exercise and the drill, the neces-
sity Of prompt attention to mill
tary duties, the pangs of home
sickness did not make the new lot
a very happy one. But with sur
prising rapidity the men have be-
come accustomed to the new sur
roundings. The very strenuous
ness of the exercise, the life in
the open, the regularity of the rou-
tine, the abundance of nourish-
ing food, the careful sanitary reg
ulations, vigorously carried out,
have contributed to make the SOL
dier's life here a very healthy one.
There are plenty of men who
would like to be at home-who
can blame them but the vast
majority are learning better and
better the purpose for which they
are here, and are settling down to
the d determination to achieve that
purpose in the most expeditions
fashion. y. ,...

Cotton

An Lnfavorable view of the German
note and reports of large ginning re-
turns led to active liquidation in the
cotton market yesterday, particularly
during the late trading. December
contracts, after selling off to 3Oc early,
rallied to 1929 during the middle ses-
sion, but broke later to 1918, closing
at that level, with the general list
closing barely steady at net decline
OF 90 to 90 points.
Inc opening was points lower on
october and generally 20 to 80 points
under Monlay's closing figures as
result oi liquidation and Liverpool and
scattered Southern selling. The lat
Ter was not active enough to suggest
any material change in the attitude
OF southern holders, however, and after
the tlrst batch of selling orders had been
absorbed the market turned frmer on
covering. Reports that cold wav.
was likely to follow the rains in the
Southwest probably helped to steady
tne market and there was also some
discussion az to export possibilities
based on the evacuation of the Belgian
coast with reference to U-boat activ-
I,y and the use of Dutch tonnage.
Inc bulk of support came from shorts
and the market soon turned quiet
Later offerings increased on rumors
that private returns indicated a gin
n'ng of 7,060000 bales to October 1s,
an the market broke sharply in the
late trading with the close at the low
est level of the day
The range of prices follows.

Wheat.--The wheat position and. in
Tact, al the grain markets are pre-
senting some very puzzling factors at
the present time which keep operators
in an unsettled state OF mind There
are certain phases Of the situation
which in the concrete appear very
hearish. but when a broader view Of
the outlook is taken it appears more
bullish. At the present time the
visible supply of wheat in the United
States is Of huge proportions, the
total being about 1o7 GOO 600 bushels,
which IS far in excess of any previous
total. Stocks of flour, especially in the
Eastern part Of the country, are very
large and the markets are practically
glutted. 1t has been pointed out that
IN the territory already liberated bv
the Allied armies there are about 2, =
250000 people who must be taken care
of and every mile that the Allies gain
both in the Western front and in the
balkan district means SO many more
to be fed. The food administration *
poets that ultimately the United States
VIII have to feed about 9.75o.OOO
people and that the exports of food
stutfs from America this season must
be increased to 1880 900 tons. com
pared with 11,S2O,o0O last year.
NOrn.-Ihe German note, as shown :,

report received on Monday, and in con,
sequence traders who had sold out their
long corn and taken the short side COW

Receipts were fairly liberal and it is
said that farmers are still holding a
large amount Of old corn, which thew
are deslrous of selling. New corn is
not yet moving freely, but the charac-

received indicates very high quality.

The Broadening Bond Market

are impressed with the marked IN
crease during the last fortnight in the
demand for high grade bonds Of all
classes. The growing desire for these
securities came while the fourth Lib
erty Loan campaign was being waged
with the government financing com,
pleted new impetus has been lmparted
to the movement in bonds this week
The advance in convertible bonds has
been extremely striking. Compared
with the low prices of last year, cur
cent quotations show gains in some
of these issues of from 5 to IS per
cent and even more in some instances.
Because of the easy terms Of payment
offered by the government and by the
banks to purchasers of Liberty bonds

parently still have considerable part
Of the funds free.

1t is supposed that roasters as rule

1t is likely that a good deal of the
