Red Cross to Give Government New
 Art Treasure

Washington, Jan. 8.-Ihcrc Is soon to take it's place among the na- tion's art treasures gathered here in the capital one of the notable creations of the season, the mas sive canvas "Thinc Is the Glory, presented by the War Department to the American Red Cross as the American soldiers tribute of grati- tude to the organization for mobiliz- ing American womanhood for ser vice in the World war.
 More than painting this great canvas is the colla borative scientific and art work of Joseph Gray Kitch- ell, late major of the Morale Branch, General Staff, U. 5. A., and F. Louis Mora, of the New York School of Art, from official material and di- rect assistance contributed by the War Department and the Red Cross. It depicts in monumental ailegory the wonderful service record of American women and girls in every branch of Red Cross effort during the war and the faces of the dom- inant figure is remarkable com positc of thousands of Red Cross workers whose photographs were ol' ficially selected for the purpose. Thus it typifies with scientific ac- curacy and artistic feeling the best of American womanhood glorificd Ill sacrifice to great cause
 The faces of Red Cross workers n' every part of the country and from every station in life went into the making of the painting and the fig ure thus realizes i'll a practical man

GERMAN NEWS IS CAUSE or SEVERE
 BREAK IN COTTON

New York, Jan. 10.-RumorS of un settling developments in Germany were followed by a sharp break in the cotton market late this morn ing Previously. prices had shown considerable firmncss with March selling up to 3697 during the early trading or 22 points net higher, but that position brok to 3605 and cloGcl at 3607, with the genera. list clos ing easy at net decline of i3 to 6H points.
 The opening was 9 to 22 points higher on bullish reports from the goods trade, renewal of Liverpool buying and scattered covering which was doubtless stimulated by the ear ly absence of southcln hedging May sold up to 35.t5 and July to 33.74 right after the call with active months showing net advances of f5 to 33 points. There was enough scat tered buying to steady the market around this level but liquidation be came active later on the unfnvorabIc rumors rcEa rding political conditions in Germany, with May selling off to 3l.52 and July to 32.90, making net declines of 43 to 70 points on the active months.

Blended with these qualities is the' expression of gratitude to "Tho ' Greatest Mother in the World
 "This large canvas" writes one critic, "is wondrous mixture of the T human and the divine. An heroic
 figure of mercy, and enigmatIc ln- tcrpretation of Madonnahood, sways between heaven and earth. The ale Gory is plain to the eye, as every great message should be.

dle,' he demanded, his face no long CT mask. He was furious,
 "What do you want to know for? ?' l asked, coolly, little surprised that he would thus betray his plan and admit it's failure.
 John entered the dining room on the heels of my question. He saved the situation, for l knew Crittenden would not quarrel with me before the servants. He never had so far forgotten himself as to precipitate a scene in either Johns or Ellcn's presence. But he glared at me and ate his breakfast in silence.
 l rode again that day and again I hid my saddle and bridle. But, finding other unpleasant things, ev- identity more to his liking, he did not refer to the subject of the morn ing or demand a reply to his un- answered question.
 There were many times that win ter when his attitude frightened me, and for two reasons. l feared his brain was becoming affected, and l was apprehensive that he might go too far some time and really hurt me. And, as l was not yet con- vinced that it was wholly impossi : ble for us to be happy together if we would, I wanted, in woman's hopeful way, still one more chance.
 Crittenden ragged about everything and against everybody. Nothing was right. The smallest thing was suf- ficient to plunge him into fit of temper. He took special delight in attempting to curb my liberty, try ing to intimidate me. And that he could not do.
 One morning he ordered me to re- main indoors. It was a beautiful day. 1had planned to ride in the park. He threatened me if I dis obeyed.
 "Just remember that l shall go

Crittendcn kept his word and life for me became torment. It seemed that, having gone the length of all the dcviltry of which he was capa- ble, he was now seeking to invent other means of making my existence hideous.
 "And now you'll ride. my lady, when l say so,' he said in triumph one morning just before leaving fol the office It was warm day m the latter part of January.
 l gasped. He held up the stir rups that he had removed from my saddle. However, I shrugged my shoulders in silence, and, when he had gone, I got on the train and went in town to buy new stirrups. Once, at least, I should show him.
 He arrived home that afternoon to find me out. l galloped in on Pegasus a half hour later. I had not started until just few minutes before he came, thereby timing my return after his arrival.
 He surprised me by saying noth ing whatever about it. He did not been usual for him by changing countenance. Instead his face re- mained a mask.
 But I believe l had guessed the truth, and next morning when he went downstairs aread of me, I crept to a window that commanded a view of the garage. Sure enough he passed through the kitchen into the yard and walked over to the ga rage. Opening the door, he went in. I laughed, for it proved l had fore seen what he would do. And then I laughed again, for my saddle and bridle, which he had hoped to con- fiscate, lay hidden where he could not find them.

Advices from Cuba report 15G ccntrals now in operation. A strike at some of the Cuban ports is said to be interfering with the movement of sugar and this may ac- count for some of the firmness ill the market.

Chicago Grain,

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Tightening of federal reserve discount rates tend ed to put bulls at a disadvantage to- day in the corn market. Closing prices, altho firm, were 3-4 cents to 2 and 1-8 cents net decline Oats lost 5-8 to 1-8 cents and pro- visions 3 0to 57 cents.
 Opinions that January was not q favorable time for efforts to hoist quotations on corn received wider notice today in view of the increas- ed difficulty of financing loans at the banks here.
 Declines continued until news came that congress might grant $15O,O00,OO0 credit to Austria, Ar menia and Poland to buy food. A moderate rally, due chiefly to the prospect of such credit was in progress as the session came to an end.
 Oats parallelcd the changes in the value of corn. Owing to eastern demand, July delivery was firmer than May.
 Reports of British offers to re- sell lard ti packers had a weakening influence on provisions, but subse- auently were offset in part by chan ces that congress would authorize n food credit.

A picture of conditions in eastern
Siberia sent by the Manchuli CORE
spondent of the Japan Chronicle
dwells particularly on the evacuation
of inner Siberia by the Japanese
army. '
"Not only is the evacuation of Jan
anes troops from Transatlantic now
an accomplished fact" he wrote, but
the total withdrawal of Japanese both
military and civilians along the Chi
nese Eastern railway west of Hardin
is now completed. This. japanese
evacuation has beer carried out with
German military precision. and moth
ing has been overlooked though little
time was required for it's accomplish
ment.t Gone are the flags of the Ris-
ing Sun that floated so conspicuous
~ over many of the most prominent
buildings found in the railway settle
ments dotted along the railway line
as one travels westward from Har-
bin. There are but few travellers
to Manchuli' these days, for trade is
dead and travelling expensive. One
travels in comparative comfort though
the carriages are I'll kept and the at
PENDANTS Indifferent. At the station
buffets one is horribly. overcharged,
but one has not the heart to remon-
strate. seeing that customers are few
and far !!i.between.
On reaching the Hingan n
there is g sudden drop in tempera-
ture. Without any warning the Their
mometer dropped twenty degrees and
summer-clad people began to shiver
from the cold. When we reached the
Chinese frontier town of Manchuli, at
seven in the morning the thermome-
ter registered 81 degrees Fahrenheit;
