NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Oct. 5.-There was q renewal of southern selling in the cotton market and further decline in prices today.
 The general list closed steady at a net decline of Is to 23 points. The market opened steady at decline of 8 points to an advance of six points and sold about to 10 points net high and covering for over the week end.
 This demand was readily supplied around 31.65 for December and 31,35 for January, however, and the market soon turned weak under southern sell ing and liquidation.
 The favorable weather in the south seemed to be inspiring more optim- istic view of crop prospects and part of the liquidation was supposed to be by the people who had bought on the favorable war news earlier in the week.
 It seemed, also, that the persisten- cy of the selling for southern account, created feeling that, the market was beginning to yield under the weight of accumulating supplies in the south as result of rapid progress with picking.
 October declines to 31.75 and Jan uary to 30.89, or B to 36 points net lower during the middle of the morning, making decline of about 130 noints since the publication of the governments crop estimate last Tuesday.
 Offerings then subsided somewhat and the market rallied in the late trading on demosetic trade buying and covering.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
o.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 5.-Lower prices ruled today in cotton virtually throughout the session.
 Around the opening there was a brief period of strength and the active months were sent 10 to 15 points above yesterdays close. This was on realizing by shorts and on the favor able war news but offerings soonn in- creased and after that the market was under moderate selling pressure until the close.
 At the lowest prices were 20 to 30 points under yesterdays finals the close was 12 to IT points down net.
 The request by the cotton commit tees of the war Industries Board that fluctuations in contracts be limited to 200 points in any one session seem- ed to be construed rather bearishly and selling increased somewhat after it had been announced to the ring. On the whole, however, brokers looked upon the new regulation favorably.
 The weather over the belt was again clear, dry and warm.
 Cotton closed steady at decline of 12 to IF points.

war. They have added greatly to the drlvlng weight and speed of assault ol the modern intensive attack, and their use has been developed tremend- ously by the British command since last year.
 The modern tank has twice the speed of the earlier type, and more than twice the radius of action. h. 1antry is practically powerless ag- alnst them. If infantry attempts to rush an oncoming tank, they are machine -gunned in the open. If they stay in their trenches, the tank strad- dles the line and enfilades them with direct short-range fire; if they re- treat to the shell holes CT dugouts, the tank lumbers along right over them, crushing them into the ground and caving in the dugouts.
 The light high-speed tanks known as "Whippets" are development of this year. They are killing machines pure and simple, for they can bear down upon fortified points and bat teries at such a speed that there is little chance of getting the guns or men away in time. Their reserve of 1uel eHdDleS them JO remain III acClOn for full day without refilling.
 Moreover, the advance of the whip pets is quickly followed by the so- called "supply tanks" which can cross any ground, bringing up reserve sup plies of gasoline and ammunition.
 The armored motor-cars are nec- essarily limited in their radius of ac- tion, owing to the fact that they must stick to the roads, but their great speed makes them very useful in pur- suit, and they have faculty of get ting we'll back behind the enemy front and doing endless damage by taking command of vital road junction and preventing the escape of enemy guns and trasports. Possibilities of infinite adventure are open to the command CTS of such detached units.

one of their members and the follow
ing composed by Mrs. Chas. Holmes,
was read:
We come to greet you, precious friend
And in each warm right hand extend,
And love, true love, its charm to lend.
The w. G. I. US greeting.
We would bring wealth of fruit and
flower,
From every leafy sunny bower,
And all the radiant priceless power,
To cheer your heart Of gold.
We've waited long for this glad day,
This ne'er to be forgotten day, i,
The coming which proves your gentle
And our strong loyalty.
As comrades then, we come to greet
you,
AS comrades tender, tried and true,
And would If it were in our power to
strew
Thy pathway, dear, with healing.
Ways of being sweet and kind,
There is always time to share
Smiles and goodness everywhere;
Time a gentle word to say,
Time for helpfulness,
And time to assist the weak to climb,
Time to give a little flower,
Time for friendship any hour,
But there is no time to spare,
For unkindness anywhere.
The Japanese are taught from child
hood to show smiling face. because
as have been told it is thought un-
fair to others to injure the happiness
of those around US. Jesus bequeath-
ed to us His joy, a deeper feeling
than mere happiness, feeling that
has peace in it and trust and con-

guarding presence. If we could see
the silver lining of the dark clouds,
how bright they would become. If
we believe Gods word we know that
our Affections are working out far

wehavemissed you, your CHEEKY smile,
your unfaltering devotion to the cause
of temperance and your loyalty to
the right and we have never forgotten
you, although the duties of a busy
world have kept us so long away.
Still our thoughts, our sympathies,
our hopes are yours and with CRATE
full happy memories of the past and
with high hopes for the future, let US
shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart,
