FRANCE VILLAGES
 ARE AS PICTURES
CThe Atlantic

Each country has It's special genius of coloring-best displayed in winter, To characterize such genius by word or two is hopeless; but one might say the genius of Spain is brown; of Ire land green; of England chalky blue green; of Egypt shimmering sandstone. For France amethystine feebly eX- presses the sensation; the blend IS subtle stimulating, rarefied-at all events in the center and south. Walk into an English village, however beau tiful--and many are very beautiful you will not get the peculiar sharp spir- itual sensation that will come on your entering some little French village or | town-the sensation that one has in | looking at a picture by Francesca. The blue Wood-smoke, the pinish tiles, the gray shutters. the gray-brown plane trees, the pale blue sky the yelloWish houses, and above all, 'the clean forms and the clear air. I shall never forget one late afternoon rushing home in the car from some commission. The set ting sun had just broken through after a misty day, the mountains were il- lumined with purple and rose -madder and snow-tipped against the blue sky a wonderful wistaria blue drifted | smoke like about the valleys; and the tall trees, poplars and expresses, stood like spires.
 No wonder the French are spirituel, 8 word so different from our spiritual, for that they are not; pre-eminently citizens of this world-even the pious
 French. This is why on the whole they
 make a better fist of social life thar
 we do, we misty islanders, only half
 alive because we set such store by oul
 unrealized moralities. Not one Eng
 lishman in ten now really believes tha
 he is going to live again; but his dis
 belief has not yet reconciled him tt
 making the best of this life, or laid tn
 ghosts of the belief he has outworn heights in Alpine warfare. A youn, engineer of Milan is credited with hay
 ing first suggested it present use, pu
 it seems to have exceeded in usefulnes , his widest dreams. Few facts hav been given out concern.ng the extent o
 the system, but when this war is ove
 a thrilling tale of engineering feats il it's construction will remain to be told

BIGGEST ITALIAN
 CITY IS NEW YORK
(World Outlook)


 The greatest Italian cities in the world: New York about 100000 Ital- fans, Naples about 100000 Milan about 700,000, Rome about 600,00O, Buenos Aires about 500,000
 There are about 5000, 900 people of Italian birth of parentage in the United States of America, 2S3,22S coming over in 1914 alone Philadel- phia has 77,O00, Chicago 75,00O, Bos- ton 50,000, and Pittsburg 23,000.
 South Aemerica also receives a large Italian immigration. Bishop Stuntz says: Italians are swarming into southern Brazil and Argentina Northern Italy sends more immigrants to South America than to the United States. They are a hardier and more adaptable people than those from southern Italy and they find the brac- ing climate of Argentina and the boundless opportunities there exactly suited to them. These Italian immi grants are making money. They pass rapidly through the stages of laborer, boss, contractor or rancher, and have already some into possession of lead ership in the building enterprises of central and southern Argentina.

 Contributions of used French text books (school and college) of all sorts; grammars, methods, readers, selections, texts and also French magazines and newspapers which are not too old are wanted by the Red Cross for the men at Camp Kearney who are to receive instructcions in French. The Red Cross has offered it's aid in furnishing the supply of text books which is wholly inadequate This work is of tremen- douS importance to the officers and men, says John L. Clymer, director of the bureau of development. There will be thousands of men at Camp Kearney, therefore in order to supply the need many thousands of books and magazines will be necessary
 In response to a request from Camp Kearney the Phoenix Chapter of the Red Cross is preparing to equip four bed ward in a regimental hospital to which Arizona boys are attached. | The story that is being circulated 1 to the effect that Red Cross articles are being sold is being indignantly de- nied by the local chapter and anyone l hearing such a rumor is urged to re- ! port the matter at once. It is the ob- 1 ject Of the chapter to trace the origin | of the rumors which are absolutely groundless. This report has reached l the Pacific division which has issued ! the following statement relative to the sale of Red Cross supplies:
 Numerous reports have been circu- lated recently that garments manufac- tured for the Red Cross are being sold to individuals for eXhorbitant prices and in some instances these articles
 have been found in lumber camps quarries, etc, with a note attached tC
 the sleeve, or pinned in the sock
 indicating that it had been made by
 some women for our own soldiers ol
 the soldiers of the allies.
 We have followed up every complain
 made through the newspapers ant
 many others made by individuals anC
 in every instance we have found tha
 it has been merely heresay.
 We may not be able to suppres:
 these false reports, which seem to b.
 made by those who are trying to dis
 credit the Red Cross, but we can giv'
 the public the actual facts and at tn
 same time guard more carefully thai
 ever, these articles which come to ou
 hands for the purpose of mitigating tn
 sufferings of our own fighting mel and those who fight with us. and al
 who may suffer as a result of thi
 human earthquake.
 An important part of the work 0 i, the American Red Cross in Franc and Belgium is among the refugee: Many returning refugees and repatrite have earth under them and sky owe : them. and the American Red cross fo a friend-that is all. Under these cir cumstances they look to the Red Cros for everything that makes comfort l life-food, shelter, clothing
 <, No small part of this work Is be1n done by the domestic science classes the public schools and there is sti , much to do. An official Red Cros Iayette for French and Belgian chil dren has been adopted and the makln of these small garments will be feature of the Junior Red Cross work.

Colonial Oil Payment

Trustees OF the Colonial Oil Com
pany have notified stockholders of their
intention to pay dividend in liquida-

tion decree directors of the old Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey had
decided to liouidate the Colonial COM
pany, and TO this end had transferred
most of its foreign agencies to the
Standard Oil Company Of New York
and the Vacuum Oil Company.
The present dividend is the linal one

per cent distributed TO shareholders
since they voted to lquidate the com
pany, III November, 1915. The other div

Cotton

Early advances were followed by a
severe decline in the cotton market
yesterday. January contracts sold off
from 26c to 24.53c and all deliveries
made new low ground for the season,
with the close barely steady at a net
decline Of 35 to 50 points. The break
of about lao TO ITO points from the
high levels of the morning was ac
companied by reports of increased
hedge selling from the South. Private
reports received here from the South
ern markets did not indicate any weak
ness among holders, but the recent
action of futures has been very dis
appointing from the bullish standpoint,
and the appearance of larger Southern
selling orders in this market evidently
started liquidation by recent buyers
for reaction. At any rate, the market
was extremely weak and unsettled and
closed within Is to 80 points OF the
lowest. January sold about IA cents
under the price prevailing just before
the signing of the armistice and more
than S58 per bale, or nearly IA cents
per pound, below the high record Of
early last September
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of 40 to so points on covering
of hedges and scattered buying, which
may have been inspired by reports
from Atlanta that the Committee on
Cotton Distribution, at Washington.
was considering more rigid regulations
of short selling and possibly more ex-
act requirements concerning deliveries
on contract. The little demand in evi-
dence was readily supplied at advances
of about 80 10 85 points from Satur-
days closing figures, however. and the
market turned weak under liquidation
