New York Cotton.

New oYrk, Aug. 12-Reports that increased that new offerings of new crop cotton at an easier basis were finding very little demand from spin. ners were followed by a sharp break in the cotton market here this after noon.
 The general list closing steady at a net loss of 77 to 91 points. Reaction ary sentiment was evidence from the start
 After the first furry of releasing had been absorbed the market rallied on the continued dry weather in the southwest and the favorable war news.
 There had been considerable Liver pool buying on the early break, pre- sumably on straddle account and a moderate demand from houses with New Orleans connections.
 Local brokers said this reflected a feeling that the new crop movement could not absorb around the thirty cent level and sellers became aggres- slve following the reports of an cas- fer spot situation in the early after noon.
 Reports that eastern mills had been advised to buy enough cotton to SUD- ply their requirements up to the first of next April before the beginning of November probably helped to check selling during the early trading, but local brokers said they saw little sign of trade interest around the ring and the south was moderate seller.

BIG LIGHT DAZZLES
 GERMAN AIRPLANES

London. Aug. 10.--"The moth and
 the flame" is little game of hide and seek which is played over Lon don at night now and then, the moth
 being an aviator of the city's defense
 forces and the flame a searchlight designed to dazzle the German Gothas
 when they come in droves to lombard the metropolis.
 These "rehearsals" take place at intervals, the director of searchlghts
 being notified in advance that an al- lied machine, is to ascend, but neith-
 CT the timen or the locality arc giv- en- The the game of the flame is to find the moth, and keep the rays of the searchlight fastened upon the fly ing machine.
 10 Londoners, the airplanc appears like great moth, or a white speck in the sky, and the searchlights raA reminds cne of a great white ribbor extending from the earth to the air plane and beyond.
 And the moth dives and darts anc flutters about and some times man
 ages to dodge the flame, but not fo,
 long. Down below Londoners are cran. ing their necks and enjoying the game to the fullest extent.

New Orleans Cotton,

New Orleans, La., Aug. PA strong reaction from the advance fea- tured the cotton market today.
 A sharp bulge on the opening call ed out the heaviest kind of selling and the most active months fell 153 to 17O points from the highest.
 Closing quotations showed net loss es of "A to 96 points.
 On the first call brokers had large volume of buying orders tc fill, based on the war news and the continuance of dry weather in Texas.
 On this hard spot extremely heavy releasing came and bearsh traders swelled offerings by their operations on the short side and the market re- mained at the decline during the re- mainder of the day.
 It was not very active market ex- cept at periods, and the decline was generally looked upon at a natural reaction.
 Sales on the spot 3l1 bales; to ar rive none. Low middling 25.5O; mid ding 29.25; good middling 31.25. Re- ceplts 3,242; stock 253,044

AMERICAN TROOPS
 ARGUE OVER GOOSE

Headquarters of The American Troops with the British Forces in France, Aug. 10.-Bitter words have passed between two battalions of Am erican soldiers here over stolen goose. The bird was missed from a little farm in the area occupied by one battalion but the feathers were found within the district occupied by the other.
 Believing that it's territory had been invaded the first battlion informed the second that when it felt the grow ing need for goose it would be we'll to confine it's foraging to it's own terri tory and avoid busting unpleasant implications upon it's neighbors. The second disowned the feathers but paid for the goose as a matter of pride. To protect the property of the natives in the area occupied by the American regiments the Colonel has prescribed new penalty. "Any man in my command who lays a hand on a fowl that had not been bought and paid for will have to eat the feathers" he declares.

 Camp Crane, named after one of the former surgeon generals of the United States Army, was established at Allentown, in May 1917, by Colonel Ebert E. Persons to meet the urgent needs of the French, then hard press ed at Verdun, was an entirely new service for the United States army There were no forms or precedents simply the general outline of the French service, as described by Mar. shall Joffre.
 One hundred sections were to be trained in the driving of ambuances carrying of filters and first aid tc the wounded.
 Two score colleges were combeo for the pick of men and mere than 4500 were soon on hand.
 Units of bacteriolgists were recruit ed from among the chemists camp Hospital units of various kinds came here for training or prior to depart ure abroad.
 Today the camp is strictly medical ana men are Tn tralnlng fer all bran ches in this service. There are labora- tory units, whose work will be desig ned to prevent disease or combat it should new problems arise: fielc hospital units; evacuation hospital pnits and organizations to conduct base hospitals far behind the lines The men now are being secured prin. cipally from the medical camps at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, and Fort Riley Kansas. Most of them are draft troops although considerable numbers are still enlisting for this work, in. cluding former hospital internes, col. lege men who have specialized ir chemistry and medical students from the universities.
 An Italian contingent went to Eu rope under the command of Colone Persons, founder of the camp, who recently was the guest of King Victo, Emmanuel on the fighting front Since them Camp Crane has been com. manded by Lieutenant Richard Slee who during the Spanish American made serums for use in the United States army and who was widely rec. ognlzed as an expert in sanitation.

ROMANCE IN AUTO AMBULANCE CORPS
 WORK VANISHING
Future Drivers Will Be Picked From the Draft
 Cantonments.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Like many another war episode, the telling of the full story of the creation of the American army ambulance autos must wait for peace. In 80 sections, the corps is serving behind French, Eng fish and Belgian lines between Swift zerland and the sea. while 30 sections more of it have been strung out be- hind the Italian trenches.
 A few additional units are complet- ing training at Allentown, Pa, but With their departure, according to present army arrangement, the job will be done. Future ambulance driv- CTS vii lbe picked out in the prosaic but efficient routine of the draft cantonments, and the special service, unique in romance and effectiveness will eventually vanish.
 The service came into being because of the necessity for lending immed- fate aid in some auxiliary fashion to the fighting Allies, and because there were already at work privately raised and financed automobile ambulance units with American personnal, which 1t could absorb and enlarge. Likewise there was rush of volunteering, and an equal rush of equipment offers, from schools and colleges and places all over the United States. So the sec tlons, each one consisting of 45 en- listed men, 12 automobile ambulances, and lieutenant or captain command ing, were rapidly built up. Today there are between 5000 and 10000 men serving in the capacity. While the idea did not exactly suit previous ar my plans, which call for combining ambulances with hospitals, in unified service. it met emergency needs, and was adopted because it was already in operation, and working we'll.
 Early in the history of the war Camp Crane at Allentown achieved national reputation through it's per sonnal which was made up of groups recruited under the auspices of al- most forty leading universities and colleges of the country. There were sections from the University of Washington, University of Califor mia and Leland Standford, on the West; University of Maine and Har- ward on the east; University of Chi cago and Hamline on the north and the University of Texas in the south. There were college boys of all classes

Chicago Grain and Provisions

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
 Chicago, Aug. 12.-Pessimistic crop reports from Nebraska and Missouri together with complaints of excessive heat in the southwest had much to do today with bringing about sharp ad- vances in the price of corn.
 The market closed strong, 3 to 8 1 2 cents net higher with Sent. 162 Is to l62 3-8 and Oct. 163 IA to 163 3-8. Oats gained 1-2 to 3-4 7-8 cents.
 The finish in provisions ranged from 15 cents decline to rise of 12 cents.
 Except just at the outset and dur ing another brief interval an hour lat CT, the corn market showed a decided upward tendency throughout the day.
 Inc temporary setbacks were as- crlbed to reports of scattered show CTS, but opinion soon became general that the moisture thus shown was in- adequate.
 Crop damages reported were also at hand from southern Illinois and from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Large receipts depressed oats, but later the strength of corn gave prices an upward swing.
 In provisions the fact that hogs had touched $20.15, the topmost point on record, was strengthening factor. Demand for pork, however, was lack ing.
