TWO LETTERG

The Rafser is "gratifled" and sends
his photograph when German
woman loses nine sons in the war.
This is the letter to one Frau
Meter-originally printed in the New
York Times:
His Majesty the Kaiser hears that
you have sacrificed nine sons in de-
fense'of the Fatherland In the present
war. His Majesty is immensely
gratified at the fact, and in recogni-
ton il pleased to send you his photo
graph with frame and autograph sig
nature"
Frau Meter, who received The let
ter, has now joined the street beggars
in Delmenhors-Oldenb to get a
living.
Just by way of contrast here is the
famous letter from President Lincoln
to Mrs. Bixby:
Dear Madam: / have been shown
in the files of the War Department a
statement of the Adjutant General OF
Massachusetts, that you are the
mother of five sons who have died
glOriOusly on the field of battle. !
feel how weak and fruitless must be
any words of mine which should at
tempt to beguiIe you from the grief
of a loss so overwhelming. But
cannot refrain from rendering to you
the consolation that may be found in
the thanks of the Republic that they
died to save. pray that our Heavenly
Father may assuage the anguish Of
your bereavement and leave you only
the cherished memory of the loved
and lost. and the, solemn pride that
must be yours to have laid 30 costly
a sacrifice upon the altar Of free
DOM"

From A Soldier To Soldiers"

One Of the things soldiers ought
to bear in mind is that dirt is the di-
rect cause of most diseases. and
cleanliness should prevail at all
times. We must bear in mind that
our surroundings and food must have
our consideration as well as our body
and our clothes. Upon this funda-
mental principle, the Medical Depart
ment has organized the Sanitary Sec
ton, whose duty it is to work along
these lines, and its orders, no matter
how Insignificant they may appear.
are, nevertheless, OF great value in
warding off various diseases and pre-
serving health. In this work every
individual ought to take hand, il
for no other reason, at least for his
own benefit.
In the Army this Ia much easier at
tanned, for soldiers are mature men;
they have taken the oath to be ODE
dent and loyal and as such will ever
cherish the interest of their country.
A soldier Ia a guardian not only of

honor and health of his country. His
manners, his robust appearance, his
kindness, his neatness in and around
his tent, distinguishes him from ordi-
nary individuals who do things more
through formalities or conventional
rules than by sane and logical rules
and instructions as the proud soldiers
do. The barracks, camps, posts, hos

the public. The manner in which

STOCKS ALL WENT
 OFF FOR b|G LOSSES
Steels, Coppers, Equipments and Pullman Lose From
 11-2 to 7 Points

New York. January 5-Reaetions of ? to points in favorite stocks and to 2 points in special issues during the day s brief but very active session wiped out much. if not all, of the mid-week's gain and left the general list little above final quotations of last year.
 The selling which concentrated in steels ksnd other industrials and equipments, M well as prominent rails and the group war shares resulted in large part ~from peace rumors.
 These gained force from Turkeys re- ported overtures to Russia and the high ly significant speech of the British pre- mer, of which Wall street had only an inkling before the markets close.
 Losses in steels ranged from to 5 points, in coupers 1h to 21a, equipments 3 to 8, with for Pullman, in shippings an average of 3 points, as much for mo- tors and accessories and to in oils and tobaccos.
 Pacifics, grangers, coalers and eastern railroads figure more or less equally Tn the heaviness of transportations. Lead CTS made little recovery, them arket clos ing near lowest levels.
 Aside from an actual decrease Of about s51 000,000 in reserves, the weekly bank statement disclosed no marked changes In local monetary conditions.
 Bonds were under pressure, especially minor rails. Liberty As changed hands at 9692 to 96.S0 and the 31as at 9S.S0 to 9S.7S Total bond sales, par value, ag- gregated 2,175,000
 United States bonds, old issues, were unchanged on call during the week.

GRAIN PIT EASIER

Rural Districts in Corn Belt Getting Ready to Send Out
 Larger Shipments

Chicago. January 5.-General belief that long expected larger crop move- ment was about to begin tended more or less today to ease the corn market. Closing prices were unsettled at s1.27ss January, and s1.255s May, with the finish, as a whole. 1s @Ac off to ho up compared with 24 hours before. Oats closed at Ac decline to 1sc ad- vance.

 Consignment notices from rural hold CTS of corn showed material increase. and there were reports current indicat- ing substantial betterment of railroad traffic conditions. Besides the weather favored shippers. No aggressive sell ing took place, however, as prospects were that agitation for higher maxi mum limit on the value of futures would soon take concrete form.

day, the market showing no special features and retaining the steady un- dertone which it has possessed of late. In the early trading there was rise of 10 to Is points, but this was lost in a selling movement based on hopes of rain In Texas, which carried the active months to 10 points below the close of yesterday. Later a fresh de- mand developed and the market recov- cred standing at small net advance toward the close.
 We fear that those who look for the breaking of drouth in Texas will be disappointed. The official forecast predicts rain only in the extreme eastern portion of east Texas and it would appear that the area of low barometer which is crossing the belt Is altogether too far east to have much if any effect on the weather condi- tionS of state, taking 1t as a whole. An area of high pressure is closely following the low, which means fair and colder weather. Freezing weather is again predicted for a good part of the western belt by the weather bu- reau
 The most significant thing about the way weather conditions were taken by the trade Is that it reveals the fact that most people realize the seriousness of the situation in Texas. where the drouth bids fair to curtail next seasons production.
 With reactions, We expect higher prices and advocate taking a position on the long side on any breaks. The market closed at net loss of to points-Shepard & Gluck.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, January 5,-The rise in cotton has strengthened an already firm cotton goods market. Transactions this week have been small owing in part to the extreme weather conditions that forced the closing of many of the large houses in the trading districts.
 An advance of 1-cent yard was announced on some lines of branded bleached cottons bringing the new price to basis of 17c for Hope A goods. Brown goods and print cloths are firm and quiet, while print cloth are offered less freely from any quarter. Buyers are trying to locate any stocks of mapped cottons in first hands and are pressing agents to name prices on mar row fannellettes for new season.
 There are several lines of cotton goods below the relative level of the market, including tiekings and several expected. Urgent calls are being made for cotton blankets and heavy under wear, indicating that current stocks in wholesale hands have been greatly diminished. Yarns continue firm. Until transportation conditions are more set- tied and the effects of the extremely cold weather have passed, activity is not looked for.
 Quotations are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64s, 9c; 64x60s, Ss4 e.; SS 1s inch, 64x64s, 12 hc; brown sheet ings. southern standards, zoe; denims, 2.20s, indigo, S21sc; tickings, s-oz, 35c; staple ginghams. 1sc; prints, 1Sc. dress ginghams, 191sc.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, January 5.-The first
 week of the New Year in Wall street
 was attended by succession of impor-
 tant developments, mostly helpful to
 the constructive side of the stock mar
 ket
 This was reflected in a resumption
 of the previous weeks advance, all though profit taking and activity for
 the short account acted as a restrain
 ing influence.
 The Presidents message to Congress
 in the matter Of government control
 of the railroads evoked much favor
 able comment, especially his reference
 to the protection of investors. Notwithstanding rails yielded to points from their best following pub- | lication of the address, but this was i, in part attributed to the time-honored sensitive custom of selling on tha good news"
 | The trend of events abroad was ob- served with unusual interest. espe- cially the Russo-Germ,n negotiations. | The irregular movement of exchange I on Italy was a natura. corollary of
 military conditions affecting that country.
 | There was an appreciable relaxa- | tion of rates in the local money mar 1 ket, time funds being available for the ! first time in six weeks at 5 K to 6 per cent. call loans also easing perceptibly. | Sale by the American Telephone and Telegraph company of $40, 100000 6 per | cent one-year notes was noteworthy because this issue offered at a price l yielding about per cent. replaces an | Issue originally marketed at IA per cent.

Legitimate Advertising the Best


 What! Is it possible that the governs ment proposes, as is reported at Wash. ington. to print 5,00O00O posters of the third liberty loan with which to plaster every public and private building, every street corner and every billboard that can be reached with this sort of un. profitable and offensive publicity. In- agine the cost of 5,000.Oo0 posters or Iith. ographs In five or six colors, the most expensive of all kinds of printing, and the cost of pasting these upon buildings oi distributing them among patriotic citi. zens who will agree to do tho pastins themselves. It Is sufficient to say that in some instances the posters of the sec. ond liberty loan were distributed In such quantities in some localities that only portion of them were utilized The need of economy in such matters is pressing. We cali the attention of our friend, the Secretary of the Treasury, to this in. teresting situation, Think of the legiti. mate advertising that could be secured by the expenditure of the amount in. volved in this ridiculous billboard cam. paign. The need of expert advisers in the matter is obvious. They can be had. Why not commander them?

Germany,s Ruthless Method

Charlton Bates Strayer. in Leslies.
 The German method of war is equal ly ruthless whether on land or sea or by guileful diplomacy. The character of the peace terms proposed to Russia ought to convince even Russian so- cialist of the hollowness of Germany s pretensions that she favored the Rus sian formula-"No annexations, no in- demnities" Germanys method of deal ing with the simple-minded Russians is shown in the instructions given to the German epresentatives intrusted with conducting the truce negotiations. They were told to have at their tongues end the favorite Russian phrase: Universal democratic peace, and peace without annexations and contributions The element of humor appears in the injunction to receive with open arms the Russian delegates who would probably offer to kiss them. accompanied with the admonition- The Father)and demands this sacri- flee Of the negotiations" Having led the Bolsheviki on until Russia had be- come disorganized and temporarily im- potent. Germany shows her support of the no-annexation policy by demand ing that Russia surrender about 120,- 900 square miles of territory, embrac- ing a population of between 10000, 900 ana 3Vuou,OuV. LII the way ol iuueiInl- ty Germany demands control of the Russian wheat crop for Is years after the close of the war and the admission herceforth of German manufactures into Russia free of duty. Another hu- initiating condition is that the guns of the Russian Baltic fleet be dismounted as a guarantee that they would not be used against Germany. Rumania com pelled to accept a truce, is to be forced to accept a king of Teuton choosing Austria is also to receive the nothern shares of the Black sea. If Germany can put through such a scheme, she will have realized large part of her ambitions for expansion
