SAYS GEN. MARCH
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

the units under his command our
special thanks are due. Without
hesitation, when you and he saw our
awkward predicament as regards
artillery support, the guns of your
division denied themselves relief in
order to assist us in an attack. This
attack was only partly successful,
but the artillery support was en-
tirely so. -.s
without the help of Col. Mabee
and his establishment of Ambulance
cars 1 have no hesitation in saving
that at least 400 of our wounded
would be still on our hands in this
area.
'The Fifteenth Scottish Division
desires me to say that our hope is
that we may have opportunity of
rendering some slight return to the
American division for all the latte,
has done for us and further that we
may yet find ourselves shoulder to
shoulder defeating the enemy in
what we hope is the Anal stage Of
this war"
Announcements by Gen. March as
to special units were:
The 114th Engineers of the Thir-
ty-ninth Division has Just landed.
The Ninetieth Division is in East
ern France
The Thirty-sixth Division is in
training with the French.
1t was also announced that Col.

sunday, September =. IsIs

According to astrology this is not a
fortunate day. Although Uranus and
Saturn rule for good early in the
morning they change to evil sway
later. Venus, also. is adverse.
There is again a sinister sway for
mines, for Saturn mensces with
Uranus in a place making for decep-
ton, maneuycring and disappointment
due not TO workers but to other for
ces.
Uranus today is in an aspect making
for severe criticism, destructive
analysis and even misinterpretation,
so that the sway is most unfortunate
for all charitable, philanthropic and
patriotic appeals.
This planet is held to encourage
envy and malice that Is expressed in
evil reports from which organizations
as well as persons may suffer.
Owing to this sway, persons en-
ployed by associations for the bene-
At OF humanity may misuse their
opportunities for doing good. ENtoI-
ton, gain and greed may interfere in
many efforts toward good.
The aged continue under a threaten
ing government Of the planets and
many distinguished men and women

Labor is subject to the best posi-
BILE direction. Its leaders will perfora

This is a threatening day for all
lovers. making for serious misunder-
standings, dissppointments and cross
purposes.
The sign Is menacing for domestic
harmony. Again divorces may multi
ply surprisingly.
Women seem to be subject TO a
rule OF the planets today that in
creases vanity and love Of conquest.
They are warned against coouetry
and foolish conduct, for under the
government OF the stars that pro-
notes warfare, penalties for betray-
ing high ideals are severe.

BANK REPORT
HELPS STOCKS
Market Gains Strength on
Bettered Condition
Of Money.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Sept 2l.-The actual
bank statement today showed res
serves increased s40.5s0. $50. loans in
creased s2.e47.0Oo and net demand de-
posits increased s22, So. 900. The aver
age statement showed reserves in
creased tls.Sl3,o30. loans increased
$50. $4,000 and net demand deposits in
creased sl2.7s6.0oo. This statement In
dicates much better money position
and also shows that 1t was still i'm
proving at the end of the week. The
stock market was strong all morn
ing.
The money situation is helped by
the fact that trust companies have
plans by which any broker who de-
sires TO do so can borrow money in
any Western city as easily as in New
York. 1t is hoped by the bankers
committee that brokers receiving
large orders for stocks from GUS
toners in other cities will have their
local managers in those cities ar
range loans with the banks there for
carrying the stock. This can be done
by depositing the stock with a trus-
| tee in New York at a nominal cost
whereupon the loan entry is made on
| the books OF the Western bank. BY
| OAhsi Nilt SloGh CdIl Dt
paid for in New York almost as
easily as IL q messenger boy were to
bring in the brokers' check as at
present done.
Plan Trust Company.
Another plan suggested is for the
brokers to form a local trust COM
pany in New York TO act as their
trustee for all out-of-town loans.
In addition TO the improved money
situation, the stock market had other
reasons for strength. President Will
| sons announcement that he proposed
not only TO fx the price of this cotton
crop, but TO control distribution Of
the staple. caused a break OF more
than 81 bale in the price OF cotton.
IL also gave bankers a belief that the
President expects the war to end be-
fore another crop can be produced.
| II the war IL to continue through an
other crop there is no reason for con-
| troll. But. as explained in this column
before. peace will be followed by a
wild demand from all parts OF the
world for more cotton and crazy
speculation in the staple would be
seen IL not controlled.
Strength OF Distillers was due to a
belief that prohibition would soon be
national. The close Of the market
was strong and fairly active.

Simply a matter of sticking there"
was the modest phrase employed by
Lieut.. Col. Whittlesey to describe one
of the most heroic decisions of the war.
He confined:
The Germans attacked every after
noon. They would come down the hill
side through the brush, yelling like
10000 devils. 1t was useless to look
for a traget through that brush. They
heaved down hand grenades. called
potato Washers because of their
shape, and swept us with machine
guns.
1T was Impossible to say how many
of them We accounted for with our
return fire. They dragged their dead
and wounded away each night but
We found bodies in the brush after
ward.
of our own number l07 were killed.
1t was impossible to bury them pro-
perly in the rocky hillside and their
bodies were later taken back for bur
ial.

messenger to Us. He was blindfolded
and carried white flag. He brought
a typewritten message reading, as
nearly as I can remember:
1--WE have heard the cries Of your
wounded. II is impossible for you to
| escape. Why do you not surrender, in
the name of humanity? Send back
your reply by messenger carrying a
white flag
We'll, we didn't send back any mes
sage at all. We simply told that mes
senger to Go to hell
Perhaps he went. don't know.
THE Germans must have been in
| formed by their scouts that relief was
advancing towards us and hoped to
get us to surrender before our regi-
ment came up.
we ourselves did not know that help
was SO close at hand. But we stuck,
and that evening a battalion Of the
3o7th made It's way to US. The Ger
mans retired. Back Of US came the
, whole 18th division, advancing along
the entire line.
I'VE marched out with 81 men Of my
battalion, the First, and 1o7 men of
the Second. under Capt George c. Nc
; Murtrie, who were unwounded. All
the rest Of our men were killed or
wounded.
"M'Murtrie Wonder"
"Captain McMurtrie was wonder.
don't know what I should have done
; without him. He used to be a New
York broker. He was wounded in the
knee the second day Of our advance,
but he kept right on. and later was
| wounded by the handle OF a potato
! masher' which was driven into his
back But he still kept the men go
ing in marvellous fashion.
And those runners! After several
had been killed trying to get word to
headquarters asked others If they
cared to take the risk. Why, sure,
they always said. That's the way they
.. all were.
when we were relieved we had not
had a bite to eat for four days"

tonight to visit with his parents at
