With the American Army in France,
July 16.--(By maiD.-The hardest
hating is done at home. And the
nearer one gets to the land which is
no mans the less of hate one finds.
In town well to the rear, town

came upon an officer of some rank
as he was soundly condemning the
conduct of an under officer The lat
ter had provided food for young Ger
man officer, enroute thru the town
as prisoner.
Bread and waters good enough
for him." declared the angry superior.
''and dry, hard bread at that"
The day before l had seen batch
OF prisoners brot into the first head
quarters back of the line. 1t was a
hot day and they were exhausted by
their march. Two sickly looking lads
tainted and fell just as they were be-
ing lined up for inspection. Water
was already being carried TO the pris-
oners. Some of this was diverted for
the purpose of resuscitating the two
who had collapsed and the others
were then given as much as it was
safe for them to have. Immediately
after inspection all were marched to
where food and hot coffee was wait
ing for them.

this practice.

in the line. to the query. Sure we

shells, little shells. rifle bullets. ma

to hate theuI with our mouths But
after we'vetaken them prisoner 1t isn't
worth while hating them, is it? And.
besides, what's the use of wasting
good, first class hate on men you've al

A British correspondent whose name
is well known to American reader;
went with me 10 visit an American d.

Organize Bank to
Deal Exclusively
In Cotton Paper
Will Revolutionize Methods
of Settling Transactions
in the Commodity

An American discount bank which
will deal exclusively in acceptances
based on the buying and selling of cot
ton is being organized by New York
and Boston bankers and representa-
tives of the leading shippers of the
South, it was learned yesterday. The
American Acceptance Corporation is
the name that has been given to the
new organization, the details of which
will probably be announced at the con-
vention to be held on May 4 at the
Biltmore Hotel under the auspices of
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers. The bank will begin
business, with headquarters in the
financial district, with S5,0Co,O00 CAPT
tai. The capitalization may be in
creased later on.
The movement to secure a wider dis
count market in this country was
started few weeks ago by the or
ganization of the Foreign Trade Bank
ing Corporation, which is now doing
business at 35 Wall Street. Soon after
this company was launched a syndicate
of banking institutions heated by the
Guaranty Trust Company announced
It's intention of forming another in.

mite plans are being worked out by a
special committee, which is expected to
make an announcement in the near
future. The American Acceptance Cor.
poration differs from the other two in
that the sponsors say they will confine
their business exclusively to cotton ac-
ceptances.
The decision of New York and New
England bankers and big interests in
the cotton trade to form a discount
company is direct result of plans
now under consideration to substitute
