in big pens, he could see hundreds

Perhaps strange cries would reach

calls to be used in special cases, when
the dog is doing duty out on No

And then, if the visitor should
stand and watch, his eye would pres

after a while, drag the cap from the
soldiers head, or the Identification
tag from his wrist, and run off with
it to his master. This dog would be.

the kaiser indicated to me that Amer.

In the kaiser's plans. When, q few
months iater, we declared war against
Germany, however, all the kaiser's
planning and plotting Of years col
lapsed. The edifice he had been 90
confidently erecting came crashing to
the ground because 1t was built upon
a false foundation. How elementary

The kaiser never admitted that the

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. July S-After showing fmness at
one time in the morning the cotton market
lost further ground today. Little was heard of
the inquiry for the spot article noted in the
South not long ago.
AT the opening prices were steady at an 3D.
vance Of 10 points to 4 decline of 5 points
The demand was supplied by scattered sell
ing. however. with October easing to BIS
shortly after the call, or about points lower.
There were rallies Of several points late in
the first hour on covering. but the market soon
broke back TO the earlier low level Of about
to 70 points under last nights closing
figures.
The dip after the publication of the weekly
weather report seemed to attract a good deal
OF covering for. over the holiday, and there
was sharp bulge in prices. Reactions Of 10
to Il points followed with the market compare
lively quiet around midday.
The early afternoon market ruled quiet but
steady in tone with moderate covering demand
for over the holidays absorbing iquidating sales
and outside offerings.
The demand from shorts satisfed, the market
developed renewed weakness in the last hour,
selling down to 23.65 for October or a points
under the high point Of the forenoon. New

Yankee Snipers Receive
Praise from Britshers
On Rifle Workmanship

American snipers, in training at
Camp Perry. Ohio. are astonishing
British and French instructors by
their skill as rifemen. The ex-
pertness of the Yanks is due in part
to the fact that they fire at moving
Germans"
The Germans" are papier mache
figures attached to moving rods
traversing trench lines. At some
points the heads of the Germans rise
for a moment above the trenches.
The mechanism is so arranged that
they seldom are disclosed at the
same place twice. But the Ameri-
cans, lying in their snipers' pits,
seldom miss a shot
How do you consider the Ameri-
can as material for expert rifiemen's
corps compared with the men you
have taught in the British camps?"
a visiting British instructor was
asked:
He replied. Top hole" which is a
somewhat slangy way OF conveying
the idea that the Yanks are hot

NEW COPPER PRICE
PLEASES THE STREET
Market Up on Strength of New
u. S. Policy.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York. July, 3.--Advance of
the copper price to 26 cents pound
together with strong intimations
from Washington that steel COM
panies would be permitted to sell a
large percentage OF production to
the general public. gave Wall street
a strong market today.
In the morning there was great
activity under leadership of the cop
pers and tobacco. In the afternoon
Steel was the leader, with stock of
the big corporations closing at the
top price OF the day.
General Motors held firm as usual.
American Beet Sugar. National
Conduit and Agricultural Chemical
attracted attention.
Wall street was pleased at the
advance in the copper price. not so
much because Of coppers alone. but
because II was evidence of the new
policy decided on at washington in
regard to prices.
The strength of American Smelt-
ing 10 due partly to improving con-
ditions in Mexico.
Agricultural Chemical responded
to the resumption of dividends on
its preferred stock.
National Conduit is recognizing
important developments in the
company soon to be announced.
American Beet Sugar was up at
the expense of shorts.
A short interest of importance was
also surprised in. United Cigar
stores. but in the latter case there
has been steady absorption of the
stock for the investment account
because of the growing earnings.
