BRADSTREETS REVIEW

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 Trade continues to taper off, rumors of peace effects of influenza, the cleo ton holidays, and light buying result ing from warm weather having re- pressed operations. and at the same time there is a strongly defined ten dency to mark time while trying to sketch out the probable breadth of re- adjustments to follow the peace, now apparently in sight In fact, the rose ate outlook in Europe, with premature reports of Germany having accepted terms submitted by the allied powers, have already taken form in the unset clement of grain and cotton prices, in cancellations of some orders, in the holding up of contemplated plant ex- tensions, and in higher prices for se- curities. Economizing and the absence of young men from the list of buyers also have made for some increase in supplies of merch ndise, and in view of the inevitable 1efeat of Germany, irrespective of wi that country may do in quibbling oy terms, the general disposition is to " away from plac- ing orders when the potentials suggest lower prices at least until readJust- ments have been worked out

HOOSIER FIRED THE
 FIRST SHOT OF WAR

The story of the first shot fired by the American Expeditionary Force in the war with Germany-a shell sent screeching into the German lines about as dawn was breaking on October 23, 1917-is contained in a letter sent to The Associated Press by the com mander of the Indiana battery which performed this important action in American history. Alex Arch of South Bend, Ind, a. sergeant in Battery c, 9th Field Artillery yanked the lanyard of the pioneer gun to speak for the United States on the soil of France.
 The bonor of firing this first shot had been claimed by another member of the same battery. Captain Idus B. McLendon, in command of Battery c, in writing of this event. says:
 Sergeant Alex Arch of South Bend, Ind, is the man who pulled the lanyard and sent the first American shot into the hostile lines, on the morning of October 23, 1917, at five minutes past S." Captain McLendon says: T was pres ent during all the firing of that morn ing.
 Tn the gun drill of the 75 field piece, the gunner, a corporal, lays the gun for direction only; cannoneer No. 1 sets off the range, and, at the command of the chief of section, fires the piece. The chief of section merely repeats the command, Fire, which is ordi- narily given by the lieutenant who acts as battery executive officer.
 'On this particular morning, Arch had a special gun crew made up of the other sergeants who were in command of gun sections in the battery, all of whom were anxious to have hand in the job. Arch himself set off the range | and acted as No. l, pulling the lanyard at my command. Fire
 Twenty-four shots were fired that morning, Captain McLendon continues, adding:
 1 ''The firing of the first shot was an event which our division commander, General -, considered worthy of spe- | cial mention and record, and ordered | the shell cases of the first eight shots l sent to his headquarters, with a view 1 to their preservation. Later the com mander in chief of the American Ex-
 peditionary Forces ordered the gun
 which fired the first shot to be with drawn from service, and I understand l that it has been, or will be, sent to the l States, to be kept as a relic of the 1 great war.
 "The question of who fired this first
 shot is not a personal affair at all. Ii
 is something which concerns not only
 this battery, but the 9th Field artillery
 and the 1st Field Artillery brigade as & whole. The men of this brigade are proud of having been the first to fight
 and we have not stopped fighting, and do not expect to stop until the last shot of the war is fred
 Regarding Arch, Captain McLen- don's letter, dated August F, says that he 'is still living and still fighting the

WASHINGTON HAS
 CORKSCREW FAMINE
Pittsburgh Leaderl

There is one famine" which cannot be attributed to the war, according to reports from Washington, and that is one of corkscrews. The dry wave which overwhelmed the national capital is held responsible for the scarcity of these useful implements.
 It is reported that two men from New York arrived at one of the best known hotels in the city. Conferring on important matters. it became necessary to send a message to the bellboy ask ing for a corkscrew. The attendant af- ter some delay, brought corkscrew to the room and was asked to leave it, up- on which he exclaimed:
 'Ah caint do it. suh; really and truly An caint. Corkscrews are mighty scarce in Washington now, and that's a fact"
 Inquiry was made and it was learned that the hotel had tried in vain to pur- chase corkscrews from Washington hardware dealers. It was said that a demand set in immediately after the dry law took effect which was so over whelning that the stock of the local dealers became exhausted.
 If there were a moral to this narra- tive, it would be the obvious one of taking your own corkscrew along when you go to the capital, to say nothing of the "faw material upon which the in strument is to operate. But as there is none, the reader is referred to the fla nous Latin adage which is indicated by the abbreviation "Verbum sap ----o------
