Over Private Wires
shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 4.-The session has been one of specialties today with cratic fluctuations in these particular stocks. while the market as whole has been steady and has given good account of itself
 Mexican Petroleum opened very strong, but subsequently, sold off on the an nouncement that the Pan-American meeting would not be held until next month, and so no immediate developments were in sight.
 Baldwin had similar experience on rumors that there would be no immedi- ate important developments On the other hand there was very decided strength in American Tobacco, Royal Dutch, etc. The real barometer of the market, however, Steel, has stayed very steady. This is due to encouraging re- ports as to the strike situation. It looks as if the American employees had in the main remained loyal to the companies, and .hat the trouble was chiefly with. the aliens. It is thought that these alien laborers are apt to so back to work in q short time.
 There is no gainsaying, however the fact that the labor situation throughout the country is very unsettled, and that it is going to take some little time to de- termine how 1t will work. out. The market is likely to be cautious until the outcome is sufficiently clear to warrant the street in taking chance on it. Total sales, 1,O6S, ,oo0.-Post & Flagg.
 N. E. Campbell R Co.'S Cotton Letter
 The market today did not show any snap to speak of and showed tendency of seeking lower levels.
 The spot news as well as the foreign political situation was again called fla vorable, but our private advices told us that the big fellows who had recently the ovepanxio4s eieventh-hour @ fli bull have have few contracts while the going is good. We still hold to our convictions that we strongly believe in much higher prices later on, but for the present it looks to us as if we will be able to see our good friends buy cotton at cheaper Iprices.-W. E. Campbell & Co.

STRIK FRS HOLD MEETING

The strike situation remains the same in the Bessemer district with. perhaps, more interest being manifested by the employees of the local industries at the union headquarters. There was large attendance at a meeting held at circuit courtroom Tuesday evening, when the principal speaker was William Lynn, or ganizer of the Pipe Filters and Plumbers union. Lynn stated in his address that d committee of workers from Woodward had made an attempt to confer with officials of the Woodward Iron company in regard to condition at the plant. but that they had been denied a conference. He told of the incident as an illustra- tion of the failure of the unions to get a conference with the officials of the corporations. It is stated that only one man left the Woodward Iron company or Monday and none have left since. The labor leaders claim that they are gaining many new members and are at the headquarters on Fourth avenue prac- ticalIy all day taking in those coming for membership. All of the plants in the district are reported IS running Wednes- day.
 Mrs. Sam Nash. entertained with forty-two party at her home on Berkeley avenue Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Pastors Helpers. Golden rod and purple asters formed a pretty decorative scheme of yellow and purple, which was carried out in the rooms on the lower floor and the porch on which punch was served by Mrs. George Mo Dowell. Mrs. Nash was assisted in re- ceiving by Mrs. J. C. Farris and Mrs. Harry Massy. officers of the circle of Pastors Helpers. There were nine tables of players, and during the games bon bons were served. At the conclusion of the games ice cream and cake was served.

The Germans treat us fine

or open the stove door. AS

they begin falling short a
fellow is liable to put cinna-
mon in the coffee boiler for

Chateau Thierry, and again

when the Germans were be-
ing successful. The roads
were crowded with French
reserves, with banners flying
in the breeze, going forward
to stop the Hun forever.
We are in a small village
in the province of Rhineland
and are. biIletted in German
homes. The time goes very

a. nrst glance Mr.. Hughes might be
taken as man who has chosen an
army career. Be not deceived. how
ever. The uniform only signifies the
patriotism of Rupert Hughes, who
served as captain in the intelligence
department of the government during
the war. 1t might be added that he
is also a veteran OF the Spanish h-Ameri-
can war, enlisting as private and
coming out as captain.
But Rupert Hughes chief claim to
fame is as a writer of fiction and plays,
being the author of some 20 odd books
and a dozen plays. His stories have
won for him a place among the most
popular and successful writer's OF the
day. One Of the best of his stories Is
"The Thirteenth Commandment"
remarkably entertaining tale OF mod
ern life. We have secured this story
for our next serial and If you VIII
read the first installment you'll surely
want to follow 1t to the end. ana.

WRITES FROM
GERMANY
In Germany, 1-1@9

Dear friend:
l was glad to hear from a
friend of mothers and from
my home town. No matter
how many places one may
see and miles they may ira
vel, there is always certain
places or a place that looks
the best to them, and so the
far west of the United States
is to me. l am sure strong
ly longing for the day. to
come when we will be going
home. Il
Have seen lots of service. l
belong to the Rainbow Di-
vision, also known as the
42nd Division. It is a great
division, having done great
work on the battlehelds of
France. We were in the
lighting for months in Lor-
raine, at the great battle of
Champagne, by some called
The Battle Of Sweeps; at
Chateau Thierry where some
of the most desperate bat
tling was fought; at St. Mi
hiel; Toul sector; Verdun
Isector, a place of desola ton;
and the Argonne Forest, an
other shell-torn place. We
have seen all kinds of hard
ships, marches and narrow
escapes. We are proud o1
what we have done-nine
months on the battle line
steady. About six weeks a.
go, we started on our march
for Germany. It was a Ions
hard hike in mud, rain ano
frosty weather, marching
from ~ to 25 miles per day
marching from early morn
ing until late at night. w
passed over old battlefield
and shell-torn towns, thru
Belgium, which is one of tn
prettiest, neatest, and bes
laid out farm countries ev

France are pretty, but we @
this division, never had a
opportunity to stop and b

fold for any aid we may give. But if
we retire from Europe now, II we let
accident and design combine to create
hostilities, the result for France will
be tragic and for Britain serious, while
for German the gain will be almost
immeasurable.
Lastly Germany will seek at once TO
build a new alliance and for such an
alliance the materials a.e, unhappily,
close at hand. OF her old allies. the
Austrians, the Hungarians and the Bull
garians are all equally dissatisfied
with the decisions of Versailles which
have compelled them to give up subject
races and territory held only by force.
Already the Austrians have Indicated
desire to join the German state, there
is no other real future for the Hun
earians and the Burgars now, at the
end Of a third war for Balkan hege-
mcny. find themselves even smaller and
less powerful than before, the smallest
Of Balkan states. 1t Is plain that all
three of these peoples would readily
turn back to Berlin, II only Berlin-or
Weimar-could hold out any promise
of aid.
Even more serious at the moment is
the Italian situation. Italy came to
the Paris conference with programme
which included the possession OF
Southern Slav lands at the head OF the
Adriatic. Greek territories in Epirus
and the Egean Islands, the Turkish
regions about Smyrna, Albania. much
of Asia Minor and a claim for new ex-
pansions in Africa. Tc most OF these
claims she has found opposition among
the great powers; she has, in addition,
found a lack of sympathy which has
hurt her deeply.
One must recognize that pride is
vital circumstance in the Italian cal
culaton. Italy has never yet been
treated quite as an equal by the great
powers. She feels that her neutrality
saved France in 1914, that her entrance
into the war in 1915 saved Russia, and
that her agonies in 1917 and her sue
cesses in 1918 entitle her to the same
consideration as France And in Paris
Italy has not found the welcome she
expected. The result is not to be mis-
taken; when I was in Paris Italians
talked quite openly Of return to the
old German alliance and French and
British statesmen spoke Of this as one
of the certainties, provided only Ger
many were able to get herself together
and thus offer a solid basis for COM
mon profit.
An alliance between Italy, Austri'
and Hungary, on the one hand, with
bulgaria as a fourth participant, and
Germany on the other would mean th'
suppression of the Jugo-Slav claims
which affect all four. Italy would gain
Fiume, Austria recover territories al
! lotted to the Slavs at Versailles Hun

gary get back much, if not all, Of Sla-
vonia and Croatia, while Bulgaria
would get Macedonia. Moreover. Ru-
mania, with a quarrel on foot over the
Banat, is already reported TO have
made her bargain with Italy at the
expense Of her old allies.
France and America particularly, the
British 70 certain degree, have sym
pathized with the Southern Slavs and
with the Greeks in their just claims
for territories inhabited by people OF
their races, but claimed by the Italians.
There has been at all times in Paris
marked and growing coldness between
the Italians and their associates. Now
Italy has had a domestic political crisis.
and it is plain that in any event she
will emerge from the peace conference
far less rewarded than she hoped and
unmistakably angry and disappointed.
Moreover, the Jugo-Slav question pro
vides bond of sympathy with each Of
the races which were until few
months ago united in a German Mittel-
europa. At the very least, then, Ger
many has ground for hoping for new
arrangement with Italy.
And what Of Russia? The Allies
have recognized Polish claims to in
dependence, mainly at Russian ex.
pense; they have encouraged the
Lithuanians, the Esthonians and even
the Ukrainians to hope for separation,
and they have recognized the inds-
pendence Of Finland. But if a strong
Russian government emerges from the
chaos of the Lenine-Trotzky regime
will not this government promptly seek
TO restore the old Russian frontiers,
will il not seek in agreement with tho
Germans q new partition Of Poland
Above all, IL the new government in
Russia has any percentage OF tho old
Romanoff Russia in its composition
will IL not be imbued with an undying
hatred of the Western powers, which
openly and secretly negotiated with
the Bolshevsts and, from the Russian
point of view, betrayed an ally to do

the independence of component parts

II is quite different in the east.
