same could be said of the other barracks
1t was interesting to note when we
were assigned to our barracks, how the
northern boys would occupy the cots on
one side of the barracks and the southern
boys those on the other side 1t was not
done according to any plan, but | sup

the part of the southerners, but in most
cases it is realized that we are all on the
same side and before long we will all be
in the battle with the same spirit and
forget the past.
The consciousness OF the fact that we
are fast approaching the time when we
will have 10 face the enemy, as our diff
ferent branches require has very little
effect upon the most of us. In most in
stances we are too eager to be assigned
to something permanent

KILL ALL Who
ADVISE SURRENDER

WITH THE AMERICANS IN
FRANCE. Sept. IA general order
advises all American units to adopt
a policy during battle of killing any
one who suggests surrendering.
This policy originated with a GER
tain unit fighting at Fismette, where
operations were hampered when some
one in an American uniform ran
about shouting that further resist
ance was not necessary and that,
therefore, the troops should surren-
der This was probably a German
propaganda
The unit was advised to kill any
one suggesting surrender, and all
American troops are following the
same plan. This means il will go
hard with any German propaganda
attempting to injure the morale Of
our soldiers in battle.
German prisoners taken in Alsace
report the Kaiser's soldiers are Gag
erIy reading allied propaganda tracts
which are thrown into their trenches
despite the order from the German
command forbidding soldiers to read
such literature and offering a reward
for all tracts brought in.

North OF Toul the American was
seized and carried off by the enc
my squad. He suddenly broke
away and dashed into a she'll hole.
There he seized rocks and peIted
the Germans, standing them off
until one jumped upon the Amer
lean. With a trench knife as his
only weapon the Yank killed the
boche. and sprinted Ecross No
Mans Land, reaching his own
lines uninjured.

Tuesday morning was perhaps the chief factor on the advance. Beyond that, buying was encouraged byethe continued favorable character of the war news, the more hopeful view of export prospects. and the continued failure of hedge sell ing to develop anything like important proportions.
 According to mail advices from Liver pool. the British shipping board found it possible to increase the August allot- ment by 5000 bales. and the president of the board of trade has intimated to Lancashire spinners that more generous shipments of cotton can be expected from this country from now on. Foreign in- terests have been reported buyers in the south, particularly Japanese firms in the southwest, while reports concerning the attitude of domestic spinners have been conflicting. Toward the close of the week hedge selling was a little more in evidence around the ring and in creased spot sales were noted in the Texas markets at the 35-cent level, but there was also buying for trade account iny-futures on the reactions.
