BIRMINGHAM M AN WRITES ABOUT LIFE
 OF LOCAL BOYS IN
 BELIEFS OF FRANCE
THE HUMBLE aCOOTIEn
(Continued from Page Five)
frolicing and good-natured horse play in their lighter moments.


 "Our men have had their full share of the usual trials of soldering, including the 'cooties The humble cootie is the one uncnanging accompaniment of war He is the closest companion of the sol diers of all nations, and has followed the wars since the word began. If were called upon to suggest an emblem for war it would not be like any of those now used to typify the great calamity. It would not be the figure of Mars or of raging lion, or of an eagle-it would be the portrait of cootie, rampant, upon a box of insect powder, argent, with the motto. You can't lose me-
 fEvcrything about war has changed through the centuries-arms, armour tactics-except the cootie. He goes right on in the same old way.
 The medical officers have discovered that trench fever as well as typhus is caused by the cootie, and have long ago pointed cut that he is not merely an un- welcome guest, but an alien enemy as well. So they have decreed once more that he must go.
 The order is easy to carry out One has but to boil his clothes and press his uniform With a hot iron, and loi he stands fi.e and without cooties But the medical officers have not as yet found any way to keep free, and there is where the trouble iies
 This pressing of clothing has a differ ent meaning over here from what it mas at home. Once seeing a blanket draped soldier busy with the hot iron, I took occasion to comment upon his industry and his evident desire to present sol dierly appearance. But a bystander un- deceived me. He aint trying to dress up or nothing like that said the in- former. He's just killing cooties, that's all.'
 ARE THE MEN HOMESICK?
 T have been asked if the men have been aomesick. I do not think they have. At least they have shown no signssof this ailment. Naturally, We are all prone to talk and plan of when we get homc.' and after the war but we always precede it with the phrase, when we get through with the Boche' Every man realizes that we must complete the job of 'sttafing' the Hun. and that there can be no home-going and no after the war for us until old Fritz gets his'
 This subject is fruitful one, how ever One of our company hunorists was hearl to remark that he has written to his mama that she can give old Tige away when ne gets nome, Tor she won't need a watch dog any more: that he would never leave the house again for fear he might 'jine something.'
 .'So taking them all around. they are husky, two-fisted. light-hearted bunch of youngsters, and so long as the good people at home keep them supplied with tobacco and their meals are regular and the mails get in every now and then, they have no kick coming.
 T have not heard any of them oratiag about their hardships or their sacrifices or about 'Prussian autocracy. But 1 have heard great many seriously dis cuss the best technique for destroying the Boche. They are old veterans now and are interested only in the real high brow features of soldering. Az their

New York, May 2S.-Liverpool was not quite as good as due this morn ing but the market was steady all day. closing at the best prices on a con tinuation of the covering which has been going on for some days and which has materially reduced the outstard- ing speculative short interest The Journal of Commerce reports for Louis jana, Mississippi and Alabama were decidedly better than last year, but they were considered by the trade to be not quite as good as had been ex- pected Weather conditions were fa- vorable and showers are predicted for west Texas where they would be most beneficial Not much attention was paid to the German offensive. al- though further gains were reported. The market believes that this advance will be checked without serious con- sequences. On the rise business was not active and we did not note any increased demand from trade sources.

conference with Mr.. Kitchin,
chairman or the ways and means
committee. today outlined his plan
for the third Liberty loan. Actual
expenditures OF the United States
government and OF the allied gov
ernments having been much less
than had been indicated by the es-
Inmates. the amount OF the mex.
loan will be only $4,000. O0O.O 900. the
right being reserved 10 aIlot over
subscriptions.
The secretary will ask authority
from congress- TO issue bonds bear
ing interest al the rate Of IA per-
cent per annum. acceptable at par
and accrued interest in payment Of
United states inheritance taxes, and
having the benefit OF a sinking fund
OF five percent per annum during
the period Of the war and for one
year thereafter.
1T is the belief Of the secretary
that the rate now proposed is SUM-
Client and that by restricting unnec-
essary capital issues and by Undue
ing the people who subscribe for
Liberty bonds 10 save and keep
them for Investment and by pur-
chases with the sinking fund from
those who find themselves compelled
ed TO sell. future increases in the
interest rate may be avoided. In
order TO put an end to the expecta-
tion OF higher interest rates. it is
proposed that the conversion privi-
lege shall be eliminated from the
new bonds. but the holders of Lib
erty bonds OF all existing issues will
be given an opportunity 10 convert
their bonds into the 4 - percent
bonds.

ance of outside agencies is de-

der the new method no man need
