New York. sept 1s.-The cotton
market was extremely nervous ana un-
settled again this ncrning. The ru-
mors circulating Yesterday with refer
ence to prices likelsa to be fixed Tor
cotton were denied md according TO
private reports the qsestion at present
under consideration isEfhat of allottlng
grades of cotton rathsr than the price
fixing proposition. There was a feeling
in some quarters. hewever. that be-
tween the large ginring figures and
the talk of lower prees. spot offer
ings were becoming heavier and after
opening firm at a decline of IS points
on October, but generally 6 to %
points higher, active months sold some
% to 80 points under asst nights clos
ing figures.
The market was firner late in the
forenoon. Nervousnessl over the price
fixing proposition had aevidently sub
sided, while there was little evidence
of southern selling after the firsx ks1f
hour, and prices rallied on covering
and trade buying. By midday the
market had sold up II to 20 points
above last nights closing figures.
The market was quiet during the
early afternoon with fluctuations ir-
regular. The bulges here said to meet
scattering liquidation, but otherwise
there was not much selling and prices
held around 32.77 for October and 81. 80
for January, or about 10 to Is points
net lower.

SOLDIERS sENTR|Es
FOOLED BY TRICKS.
OF BARbED WIRE S.

With the American Army in France,
correspondence of the Associated
Press - Barbed wire which protects
the trenches plays odd tricks on the
soldier sentries.
The ground under the Wire becomes
runway for all the small things of
the night. Rats make trapezes out of
the taut strands, weaZels follow them
and the fight which ensues may set
dancing all the enemy jam tins strung
along the wire as alarms so that SEN
tries over long stretch of front will
fire repeatedly into the night, bringing
the guards to their posts and AWAKEN
ing soldiers over a wide area
At night the wire takes on a CHASTITY
aspect. The cool dews settle on the
picket posts and the wires contract.
Istraining with little rustIing and
creeping noises or chatting and cnat-
tering like living thing The muf-
fled sentries prick their ears to listen
and peer anxiously through the dark
ness, now and then discharging a shot
into the. black night, for it Is some
times difficult to tell whether the
noise is that of wire or that Of enemy
meddlers in No-man's land, secretly
cutting a path way through the de-
lenses.
When the barbed wire is new and
freshly erected and secured to it's stout
scaffolding and stakes it looks like
some carefully planned work of engin-
eering, the skeleton perhaps Of some
concrete rampant or breakwater Time
weathers it at first to an ugly thing
of red rust and sullen neutral tints.
but later it may blossom in amazing
beauty as the rich weeds and under
growth climb through its mesheS
leaving corn-flowered and blazing
peoples to cloak its ugliness.
The wire has voice Of its own. 1t
sings and drones in the wind carry
ing back the memories of the men who
sit behind it to the dusty roads of
Connecticut or Missouri or Alabama,
where the tall telegraph poles sing a
similar song and lazy insects reecno
the chorus.

She had been sister of the Order OF
st. Francis for sixty-five years, taking

Germany, she came to America when
young girl and lived for time in
Utica.
During the reign of King Kalakaua IN
the early eighties, when lepers were
being segregated on Molokai, it be-
came imperative that more nurses be
obtained to care for the unfortunates.
Walter Murray Gibson, as American
and Premier of the Kingdom of Hawaii
under Kalakaua, made known the
wants of the Monarchy to the head OF
the Catholic Mission.

NOT TO ASK FOR MORE
THAN BILLION TAXES

Washington, Sept. 19.-SecreAary
McAdoo stated today that it is not
the intention of the treasury depart
ment TO ask for more than SS.000000.-
600 of taxes for the current fiscal year.
This is the amount proposed in the
pending revenue bill and Mr.. McAdoo
expressed the opinion that it would
be unwise to levy heavier taxes at this
time. He said conditions may develop
in the future which will determine the
question of additional increases.

AIrpIane of the Future.

We have no logical right to think that our flying machines of today are more than the crudest caricatures of the airplanes of the future, says a writer In the Scientific American. We engineers are little apt to become so engrossed in our immediate difficulties of design that we do not see further ahead than Is suggested by our own ideas and make predictions for the future that only follow along the lines of progress that we can clearly see.
 The writer has often been asked if he thinks that flying will ever become an ordinary means of travel. Ills answer Is that he does not think, but that he knows 1t will become so. Ten years ago to attempt to fly from place to place was considered suicide; five years ago 1t was an adventure; today to many of us 1t Is very ordinary affair. A few years more and We shall laugh to think of the airplanes of which we are now so proud. We shdll shudder at the risks we ran and we shall travel with comfort, speed and safety.

WHAT CAUSED HER SURPRISE
Would Almost Seem That This Woman Had Idea Sailors Never Washed
 Their Uniforms.

The waiting room of the Long Island railroad side of the Pennsylvania ter minal was not even crowded the other afternoon when four fashlOnably gowned women. two of them carrying large knitting bags, entered from the train platform. The woman who was burdened with the largest bag immedi- ately led the way toward bench where an American seaman in the unl- form of the navy sat reading book. Without warning the women took seats on either side of him and besieged him with questions.
 "I am so interested in you sailor boys" said the leader emphasizing the "so."
 We're so interested" corrected the youngest of the four.
 "My," said the third and apparently next youngest, "you've been in the navy four years. l can tell 1t by the stripes on your sleeves. Have you been to sea much"
 The man grinned. Quite bit" he answered.
 Then followed a volley of questions that would have bewlldered an oracle. The seaman was asked about the coast of Africa and the cost of tobacco, the climate ln Brazil and the storms on the Atlantic.
 Finally the owner of the largest and heaviest knitting bag made herself heard above the others.
 "AIn't you a third-class gunner| she asked.
 "Uh-huh," was the answer.
 And do you tell me that you've been in the navy for four years" was the next question.
 "Uh-huh," said the seaman.
 "Four long years" she commented land my, how clean your uniform Is"
 The seaman when last seen was passenger on a train. He was holding hIs head.-New York Times.

Aviator's Lingo.

The air service, like most special branches, has its own vocabulary. An officer of flying status, but who for some reason does not fly, Is called a ''penguin." This name is also applied to a type of training machine which does not rise from the ground. An officer In the flying service without fly Ing status Is called "kiwi" after an Australian bird. A pilot is generally called a "qulrk." A flight Is called q "dip." and If 1t is a distinguished fall ure 1t Is called a "wqshOut." An air plane is usually called "bus." The great hope of the airman is to spike bozzle," or bring down "Zepp," or one of the smaller nOnrigid dirigibles they call "blimps." The aIrman's pest Is the "onion," or large flaming anti aircraft shell which "Archie" sends up as a sort of bouquet-with sometimes an unpleasant smell. "Archie" Is the general name for the antialrcraft gun. -Everybody's.

~roo Many old Men"-Lenlne.

A favorite idea with Lenine, ire uuently advanced in his Petrograd career, is that there are too many old men in positions of supreme responsi- bility, Current Opinion states. Ills most dramatic effect before the couh- ell of soldiers and workers was won ln a crisis on a vote that might have oyerthrown him. He bade the dele gates in thunder tones to look into the first mirror they saw. The faces re- fiected would be those of young men. What, on the other hand, would be the color of the hair of the rulers opposed to the great social revolution? Gray. The revolution is youth, hope, the fu' ture. Against 1t are ranged the gray haired rulers of men without ideals. "Will you have an old mems war or a young mems peace" The hit was Immense.

Voaue of Initials.

That the new vogue of Initials Is as bewildering as q writer in the New York Statesman suggests Is made abundantly clear by reports of commit tees dealing with the Prince of Wales fund. Those who have been initiated into the mysteries of its administra- tion and are familiar with the termin- ology in use may know that W. C.. does not indicate the west central dis trict. but means war committee; that N. R. F. signifies national relief fund, and that L. R. c. is meant local rep resentative committee. But even they must be baflled by the problem set by such a procession of initials as G. c. P. R. D., and fall to guess that what Is suggested by them is government committee for the prevention and re- lief of distrcss.-London Chronicle.

Sees Whale as Popular Food.

But the whale has overcome the pre- judice against him, dating, no doubt, from the day Jonah first told his story.
 Admiral Peary is heart and soul for the whale. He says: "There will be an intense practical advantage to this movement If we can ever get the American people to substitute whale meat for beef, mutton and pork. It can be kept indefinitely In tin cans the way they are now putting It up for the market. There have long been such cannerIes on the coast of Labrador, and there used to be some on the New coast, but the Newfoundland canneries have gone out of business, being unable to compete with the Labrador plants, which get the whales at less cost"

FIRST EVIDENCE |S
 PRESENTED IN CASE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

EDWARDSVILLE, Ills, May 2S.- The prosecution presented its first evidence today against the II men charged with the murder of Robert Paul Prager, German enemy alien. Mayor J. H. Siegel was the first wit ness. He was present at the city hall when the mob clamored for the death of Prager. He was followed by former Mayor R. c. Kneedler
 In cross examination, counsel for the defense asked three questions. These were:
 Do you know who hanged Prager"
 Were you there?"
 Have you ever been to see the placer"
 This seemed to indicate that the de- fense would seek to place on the state as heavily as possible the burden of proving the actual details of the lynching.

WAGE INCREASE NOT
 ENOUGH ID SATISFY
[Republi san A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Scores of protests reached the railroad admins tration headquarters here today against small wage increases granted by Director General McAdoo's recent order Word came from Alexandria, Va, that between 300 and 400 shop employees of the Southern Railway had quit work for the day to emphasize their dissatisfaction over the new scale.
 Notice of the demonstration at Alex andria was greeted at the railroad ad- ministration with the comment that all protests and suggestions for modi- fication of the wage order should be presented formally to the director gen. eral for consideration by the board of railroad wages and working conditions which will meet here within a week to take up just such cases. Officials said strikes will avail nothing at this time except to hinder railroads and cause public ill feeling toward the strikers
