iooacro men are greatly encouraged
over the prospects of the coming to-
nacco season. which will start in Dam
VILE. August L. The hot nights and
warm rains. which have fallen recently,
have brought out the crop in this sec
tion Wonderfully, and the indications
are that it will have good weight and
color. The only trouble foreseen is
that which is anticipated on account
OF the labor shortage. Negro workers
are getting wages never dreamed of
before the war. and the amount of work
done by them is not up 10 the prewar
standard.
Some 10000 baskets for the tobacco
warehouses; have already arrived and
these will he used during the coming
season for the first time. While ware
housemen complain that by placing the
tobacco piles in warehouses much of
the floor space is lost. it is realized
that the work of clearing the great
floors after a sale will be accelerated.
Danville buyers on Southern markets
write. saying that fabulous prices are
being made for primings, which few
years ago had no value. They say that
tobacco here will probably start at
about 35 cents n pound.

international News Bureaul
From the detailed study OF the use
OF certain arms. or Of the value at
tribrtcd to various phases in the COM
bat. 1t might possibly be imagined that
a battle is a carefully studied drama,
arranged like "A play In a theatc: (or
even scene in real life). deriving It's
successful effect sometimes from. the
finish and refinement OF its details
sometimes from its powerfully devel-
opcd plot. somaimes from it's charac-
ter drawing. sometimes from the in
terest and actually OF the motive
chosen-in other words. from varying
causes.
Another possible conclusion might be
that Battle Is merely a kind OF sham
fight" on an enlarged and practical
basis. rather like our autumn maneu"-
crs. in which the commando employs
me tn odically and successively the full
fesults obtanable by each arm IN ac-
cordance with its scope and action.
tIercby securing a series of advantages
which result in total. or at any rate
superiority, of successes which finally
constitute a victory.
Well. battle does not answer to
either OF these descriptions So far
from being the sum total of number
OF distinct and separate results. victory
is the fruit of a series of efforts OF
whic.l some have been successful. while
others are apparently valueless. but
all have actually been conversing unon
one object. tending towards one end
the decision which alone brings VIC
tory.
Yes, there must be decision in our
favor. or al is lost.
SO we must evidently study not only
the decision which brings victory. but
also the methods of attaining it. II We
are TO establish the general underly-
ing principles which must aspire the
orders of the high command. the ac-
ttons OF the lesser officers: thus. and
thus only, shall be carry out our task
and bring it to a successful issue.
