Coffee Market

New York, December 3.-Very conflict ing opinions were expressed in local trade circles here today with reference to whether the new regulations outlined by the food administration applying to busi- ness in green coffee would Justify a re- opening of the futures market for general business. There also seemed to be un- certainty as to whether the modified rails would materially promote imports. and few seem to expect any material change in local conditions until after the meet ing of exchange members on Monday had voted on the question of opening. Some further business was reported in Santos As at 20.75c, steamer shipment, London credits.

by the Yanks in their advance in the
Argonne forest. according to q letter
from a Pittsburg soldier, Pvt Will
liam F. Caputo- There was no room
for them in the German prisons. Given
large quantities OF ammunition, they
were ordered to fire until their sup
ply was exhausted.
1t was learned that these women
were life term prisoners" Pvt Caputo
says, after we had captured them
and heard the story they had to tell.
Some Of the women were found at
their guns with every round OF ammu-
milton exhausted. while others were
captured with their entire supply in
tact and not a shot fired. The women
explained that they were glad to be
made prisoners by the Americans"
