 As we brought the men in we had nowhere to put them except upon the main saloon floor, and as this was partly under water. and the ship was pitching and rolling fearfully, as the tremendous seas struck her. the poor fellows, badly injured as they were, would slide backwards and forwards in the most heartrending fashion until We could get them anchored. This we did by getting men to sit down. brace themselves against one side of the sa- loon and then lay the men in roys be- hind them.

GERMAN SITUATION
 UNSETTLES TRADING
 IN COTTON MARKET
Disturbances Will Likely Cause an Interference In Proposed Credit, on Which Much Stress

 New York. March ls.-Reports of politi- cal disturbances in Germany had an un- settling effect in the cotton market to- day, and evidently increased the dispo- .feition to take profits Sn long contracts flor over the weekend May deliveries sold off from s7 .1Oc to 3s s.7oc, and closed at s6 soc, with the general list closing steady, net unchanged to Se points lower The heavy rains reported in the eastern belt failed to stimulate further buying of early new crop deliveries, which were relatively easy during the morning and showed the maximum losses at the close.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 10 points. senti- ment as to prospects for early action on the peace treaty seemed to be somewhat less optimistic than late yesterday, put the sharp advance of yesterday afternoon had created overnight buying orders There was also scattered buying on vAe unfavorable weather reports and week end reviews of the goods trade lndl- cated increased activity in the primary markets, but Wall street was heavy seller and prices soon weakened.

At any rate the mar ket was very unsettled with July selling off to Bic and October to A5Sc, or 22 to s7 points net lower. There was some southern selling early but the wire serv- ic was affected by the eastern belt storm and the business from that source was limited.

 New Orleans, March 13-Heavy seiiins was felt by cotton today as the result ot the news just before the opening of the revolution in Germany. The market was depressed from the start and 1t closed at practically the lowest of the day, de- clines of 30 to 4S points, but the losses were hardly as wide, as much has been expected from such news. Around the opening the trading months lost 25 to so points, but good support met this frst break and a recovery to within to iz points of yesterdays close resulted. l As prices recovered liquidatlon rom |jlongs who were afraid of what might de- yelop oyer Sunday came upon the mar ket and they encouraged. additional bear ish pressure.

 Strangely enough. I hadn't the least fear smaller matters would have irrt- tated me. IL seemed that nothing could save us from the awful pounding we were getting.
 Many instances of the greatest hero ism among the soldier boys came under my personal observation, many of them getting their own injuries in helping iI.o save their comrades. There was not the slightest panic during all that ter rible time The men were heroes all. I remember one very young heuten- tant who was quite i'll with influenza, and whom l had visited late the night before. We were then approaching the
 danger zone. and as left him he looked up at me and said, What If we should
 be torpedoed, MT Bridges?" He was a | little worried as to what might hap 1 pen to him in such a contingency. 1 "rll never leave the ship without | you" I promised him.
 l I was very busy that fateful morn ing, but l did not forget my young | friend, and when things were at their worst 1 went to his state room and 1 helped him dress, to be ready in case
 of emergency.
 Fortunately, after a few hours we | weathered the storm and got into | smoother water. But in the evening of that never to- be forgotten Sunday | went down into the second saloon where many of the boys had congre- gated and had 8 quiet talk with them I mounted no platform--iust talked to them as man to man.

 and they knew it. They were very quiet

 Ardmore Okla says the grain acre age will be reduced 70 to 80 per cent and cotton acreage will be increased by at least 35 per cent.
 In our opinion the bulls have had 9 lucky week, bad weather early in the week gave strength to October optior and May and July appeared attractive at the discount under spots1
