LITERATURE IN THE MAKING.

1t was dawn of July the Fourth. A
sturdy American, and a giant Austria
liam were just pushing out across the
still mist-shrouded field that stretched
away along the Somme valley toward
the stronghods of the Germans. who
that day were to be vanquished in the
first Anglo attack of his
tory.
They came to the first German
trench. In runway were several
gray coats.
Hit them, Yanl, At it," yelled the
Australian, and he hurled himself
over the parapet like a tiger.
There was no necessity to urge the
Yankee. He fought furiously. 1t was
all over in a moment. and the enc
my lay crumpled in the ditch. The
American had accounted for two OF
them. He had held his own.
Good fellow, Yank. You certainly
can fight" the Australian said, gasp
ingly; "but. hell. nan, don't never stall
another Boche through the chest
You'll bust your steel and there'll be
the devil to pay. Get 'em in the
throat
So the allied paIr continued on THEN
adventurous journey. and the story OF
the early moments of their fighting
was the same as at the end. They
fought gallantly and grimly, side by
side; they killed and they took prison
ers. and always the American boy die

CLEWS' REPORT ON COTTON.

Cotton is attracting increasing at
tention. According to the government
report the outlook is for a 13,6O0,0 ,000-
bale crop; though private estimates
are about 14,50O,O00 bales. The car
Iyovcr from the last crop is about
3.5OO,000 bales, making total supply
of nearly 1S,000,000 bales. Con-
sumption, which has been curtailcd Ey
the war. is figured at about 12,G00,-
900 bales, leaving a surplus of almost
100000 bales from the coming crop.
These figures exclude linters. At
present prices the crop would approx
innate about S2,0OO,OOO,O00 in value,
Owing to the war, financing the crop
will be more difficult than usual, and
various problems Of government aid
are already under consideration. For
the time being cotton is facing more
than its usual share of difficulties.
limitation of home consumption be-
cause of inadequate labor supply add
to the drawbacks just mentioned. For
long period the South has opposed
price fixing for cotton, which was
about the only important industry that
had escaped some fern of cover lment
regulation. Now that the outlook for
cotton is less assuring, there is more
readiness to submit to some fo"m of
price fixing, especially if it tencau
to support the staple. Cotton manu-
facturers are already more or less un-
der government supervision.
