When the last of her own countrymen
had been served she came and sat with
him, bringing a battered English

WAR RELICS TRAIN
 ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD
More Than Six Hundred See l. Trophies Captured
 from C.S5T.ans
WWW

The special train carrying war relics and material captured from the Germans on the battlefields in ske World War, attracted more than gd.: hundred from this town when it thtpped here Tuesday morning. The r sst spsset of this train to stiraalate interest in the Victory loan and its mission was accomplished, we be-
 ieve, when it is known that upwards
 { $i,500. worth of bonds were
 old.
 The exhibits carried by this spec al train included q representative assortment of instruments of war fare captured by the American sol iiers during their battles from 5cichiprey to Verdun. Among the souvenirs was the so-called Hin lenburg Pill', metal construction with a revolving turrett used by General Hindenburg while at, the front as an observation post. Several young ladies had the pleasure of sitting in this contraption.
 Dr. Graham who was in charge of the train as captain told of the purpose of the train and introduced
 he speakers. The first speaker was Private Frink of Norwich, one of the 148 men of the Lost Battalion" who escaped with their lives. Pri- vate Frink gave but a brief descrip- ton of his experiences in the Ar gonne Forest. He told in an appeal ing manner of the wounded and crippled soldiers who would be taken care of by the government and taught trade, by which they could be independent.
 Captain Owen, a British officer of the Royal Air Service told in a vivid manner of his fight in the air against Hun aviators. Captain Owen was
 hot down and captured by the Ger mans and spent twenty-two months Tn German prison.
 . Dr. A. A. Rideout of Boston was the last speaker. He delivered a powerful address on how the gov ernment was asking for this loan for the purpose of giving every soldier vocational training and caring for widows and orphans of soldiers who lost their lives in battle. So forcefully was this address delivered that pr. Ridiout's enthusiasm became conta- gious, as was manifested by the hearty applause as he concluded.
 The war relics train has given the people of this town an opportunity to see instruments of warfare which perhaps they would otherwise never see. It has helped to awaken~ the enthusiasm of our people and once4 aroused there is not anything which can keep us from reaching our quota and more.

Cotton closed steady.
New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, June 4.-Heavy sell
ing which started on the opening
sent cotton down about So bale to-
day. The selling movement was based
almost altogether on the decline yes
terday in the New York market and
the weakness in Liverpool in the ear
ly hours today. Very little support
came forward at any stage of the
session.
The opening was lower in the face
of unfavorable weather conditions in
the belt. Around 10 O'Clock at the
time of the weekly government crop
reports, there was a pause in the
downward movement, but imme-
diately bearish traders claimed the
returns were not as unfavorable as
expected.
Shorts took profits in the after
noon. Last prices were at net de-
clines of SO to 116 points. Spots were
marked off so points to 80 cents for
middling.
Cotton closed steady at decline
of SO to 116 points.
