Margaret Deland who is in France
working in a canteen, writes to Harper
aud Brothers concerning conditions over
there; Over in America we thought we
knew something about the war and the
conditions in France, but when you get
here the difference is as the difference
between studying the laws of electricity
and being struck by lightning The only
way in which can keep sane and steady
is to look very, very closely at my own
immediate little trivial, foolish job-writ-
ing or working in the canteen, for if ]
dare to lift my eyes to the black horizons

If anyone fears CONSUMPTION of labor
in the United States, he should carefully
study Canada's model registration week.
The Dominion has Just taken an inven-
tory Of its manhood and womanhood,
but the only element of compulsion was
the necessity to register The govern
mcnt obtained much valuable informa
ton. It learned all about the distribu-
ton of labor in the country, and how
the workers could be redistributed, wher-
ever necessary, for the purposes of elf
ciency.

The Shooting Star.

! saw last night world destroyed
A moment in the sky it blazed;
And then its place was blank and void
And was gasping .and amazed.
Perhaps myriad million souls
Upon that fated planet trod
Perhaps they hoped, perhaps they loved
Where are they now! Inquire of God
A moment ia the summer sky,
| looked upon that awful race;
And then, like any burst of sparks
The whole had vanished into space.
A picture from the Master s BRUSH
An epic by the Master writ,-
And then | saw the darkness rush
With plying wings to cover it!
Oh, God that made it all; and married
That sittest on thy throne on high,
l say it, tho the sayings hard,
l hope for Immortality

With the launching of countrywide
campaign to obtain from 100000 to
100000 laborers for war industries the
labor situation enters upon new and
interesting phase. Some such action by
the government is made necessary by the
heavy inroads of the draft upon labor of
all sorts and by the unequal distribution
of labor, due, in part, to the activities of
the private employment agencies. These
latter, it is now announced will discon-
tinue their operations after August l.
In their place will be substituted govern
ment agencies, of which at least 700 are
contemplated. In addition corps of
i local agents and travelling examiners is
TO be provided The object of attack. if
one may so characterize this new depart
ure OF the department of labor, is the
less essential and non essential indus
tries, all of which must now submit to
be ''combed" for industries essential to
the war. One thing is clear in this con
ncction, and that is that there should be
no strikes. With the government doing
its best to deal with difficult situation
the public will have scant sympathy with
workmen who resort to the strike or
with employers who provoke it.

CORN CROP IN BAD
 CONDITION IN IOWA
This Gave an Upward Slant to the Staple, Which
 Carried Oats

Chicago, August 15.-Increased gravity or crop damage reports, especially in iowa, gave an upward slant today to the corn market. Prices closed unset tied, ssc off to 11sc net higher. with Sep tember s1.62 to $l 621s and October si. .6sss toi Sl. .6Sss. Oats gained ssDIhc to Mc. The Outcome in provisions varied from Dc decline to a rise of 7c.
 Although the first corn market easad down owing to numerous rains. it soon became apparent that sellers had grown wary, and that injury was assuming pro- portions which the trade in general was unprepared for. The Iowa state report alone indicated yield of 52,0oo,OOo bush els less than the latest estimate from Washington, Bulls had an advantage also in the fact that receipts were small.
 About midday sentiment was somewhat t disturbed by peace gossip, but the effec. failed to last. Offerings were small throughout the session.
 Talk of liberal sales to army camps put strength into the oats market On the other hand, Indiana and Ohio were said to be supplying the east and under selling Chicago.
 Buying on the part of houses with stockyard connections made provisions average higher Notice was taken, too, of the fact that restrictions on the use of bacon in England have been removed.

WAR TAXAND MONEY FIGURE IN STOCKS
Steel and Other Favorites Were Irregular = Rails
 Lacked Strength

Aew York, August 15.-Lacking more obvious or convincing reasons, traders attributed the further .contraction or stock dealings today to firmer money tendencies and growing confusion over the war tax situation.
 Call money continued to rule at per cent and time funds held at the same figure on a paucIty of offerings. Local banks again called loans to meet the final installment on the third Liberty Loan.
 Marine preferred ignored the subma- rine menace by advancing an extreme of points, the common shares and per cent bonds also scoring substantial gains.
 American Hide and Leather preferred gained 3s4 points, the common also com ing forward in the last four, with Centrai Leather, while General Motors made sudden hump of points.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 15.-Fluctua- lions in cotton were not as wide as usual today, operations on the long side being restricted by conflicting ,e- ports regarding the spot situation, while the growing strength of the technical position, as the result of the selling of this week, gave the market a tendency to recover from Impressions. The net change for the day was in- sienificant, the trading months being 2 points lower to 8 points higher than the final prices of yesterday.
 On the opening there were reports of an easier spot market and prices fell off to 10 points, but the failure of rains to appear in Texas caused cover inc among shorts, so that the decline was quickly recovered and replaced by "a net advance of Il to 13 points. Fol- lowing this the market entered se- ties of small declines .and bulges, standing at it's lowest 21 to 34 points under yesterdays close, and at its highest 13 to i5 points over.
 Some hedge selling made its appear ance during the morning and selling for short account followed the report that the war risk rate had been raised to per cent. Official reports did not hear out reports of lower spot mar Leta in the west and crop accounts frou, Texas and Oklahoma claimed the most severe deterioration on record for the last fortnight.

|bUL[|SH FEATURES DO NOT HELP COTTON
Private Crop Report Pub lished Place Figures at
 67.2 Against 78.S, July
A cooL JuLY DAY

New York, August 15.--The cotton
 bullish weather and crop advices failed
 to inspire a renewal of general or ag- gressive buying and an early advance
 was followed by reactions. Offerings
 were well enough absorbed to steady prices in the late trading. however, and
 the market was finally steady, net un- changed to 10 points higher After sell ing at 300sc on the early advance De- cember eased off to 29.6Sc but closed at 29.95c.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 2I points on. low private lcondition figures and the failure of the weather map to show any rain in Tex
 as. October sold up to 3o.73c and Jan uary to 30c right after the call, or IS to 26 points net higher, but met in- creased selling at this level, accom- panied by reports of large spot offer |ings. Part of the selling was said to be for southern account and while the western belt forecast failed to hold out any promise of rain in drouthy sec tions, prices gradually eased off to a
 net loss of 21 to "A points during the afternoon. Around 29.26c for October and 29.5Sc for January realizing sales appeared to have been pretty well ab- sorbed and the market rallied with the close showing recoveries of 20 to 25 points from the lowest. The private crop report published early placed the condition at 67.2 against 78.S toward the end of July, thus indicating de- Iterioration of over Il per cent for the first half of the period. According to the detailed report there were show CTS at nine stations in the Houston dis trict with somewheat lower tempera- | lures but the rainfall was not general l or heavy enough to cause any change of sentiment regarding crop prospects l in drouthy sections.

Over s. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans August 15.-Only a few showers occurred so far in the west, but early records showed no low degree night records, which may indicate the breaking of the hot spell in the west However, unfavorably high night temper atures are for a change to cloudy, show cry weather in the near future. Liverpool was about 10 lower than due on futures, but quoted spots B higher; sales 2000.
 General news was quieter, showing a temporary lull, but suggestions are not lacking, encouraging the expectation of further good news soon from abroad. Our market opened somewhat easier
 and remained in waiting attitude
 around last nights closing figures for sometime. The pull, however, still seems upward. The after effect of yesterdays bullish government weekly report, the absence of rain and high temperatures over the Atlantics, stiff advance in
 Texas spot quotations and bullish dry goods reports provided liberal demand
 for contracts, which was barely offset by realizing on the general idea that % cents
 is a debatable level at the outset of a
 season and better rain prospects for the
 belt.
 There has been so much shifting of
 hedges lately between Liverpool and our
 market and the working basis has inn
 proved so much that spot activity is
 likely. Yesterdays dry goods repor.
