COTTON SHIPMENTS HELD UP
Failure io Get Insurance May Cut
Off Germans Supply,
Unless Iho British Government de
clares specifically that shipments of cot
ton to Germany will not be Interfered
with, marine Insurance underwriters will
not place nn- risks on the commodity,
exporters of cotton have been endcayor
Inrf to have wnr risk policies written
among the leading; underwriters without
nvall. It Is believed that tho falluro to
get Insurance tvlll atop all exports of
cotton to Germany.
The steamship rJnrolyn, which has been
chartered to carry n full cartro of collon
from Savannah to Bremen, Is belnrj held
up because of the failure to obtain war
risk Insurance. Ono underwriter de
clared today that oven If England guar
anteed non-interference with the cargo It
was a question whether or not the In
surance could bo placed, as tho removal
of various nlds to havlRnllon and tho
placing of mints around German har
bors mado the risk extremely hazardous.
IRON RATES HELD TOO LOW
Railroads Claim They Aro Inadequate
to Meet Expense.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. Examiner

Commission, continued hearings today
on the question of reasonable practices
rind rates on Iron ore shipments In car

Steel Company and tho Wheeling Steel
nnd Iron Company started to present
evidence, Bhowlne tho cost of transporta
tion from the Mcssnba range to the vari
ous points In tho States named.
Attorneys for tho railroads engaged In
this trafllc sought to establish the fact
that tho present revenues were Inade
quate to meet the expense of handling
the raw product.
NOTES OF THE RAIL
As railroads operating In ofllclal classlfl.
cation territory notllled the Interstate
Commerce Commission today that the
proposed Increase, In rates on livestock
had been withdrawn, the commission dis
missed an order of .Investigation of these
proposed Increases.
Proposed Increases In class rates, rate
on beer, beer substitutes, agricultural
Implements and candy 011 railroads be
tween Shreveport, La., and Tnxarlcana,
Texas, approximately about 9 per cent,,
wero held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission to be Justified. The petition
of the railroads seeking to charge lower
rates on shipments carried under class
and commodity tariffs from, to and be
tween intermediate points was -denied.
Examiner P. W. Sweeney, of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, today con
ferred with representatives of tho various
pipe line companies relative to the fixing
of a uniform system of accounts. Tho
commission has prepared a tentative sys
tem of accounts for theso companies, and
Is was for tho purpose of receiving ad
ditional suggestions that the conference

CHICAGO, Nor. 19. Wheat opened
weaker on a good deal of selling this
morning, but 6n the break there was
Bomo heavy buying and the market ral
lied. Forelgnois were among tho pur
chasers of contracts. The trado mado
bullish deduction of the statistical posi
tion, because of estimates that about
60.000,000 bushels had been sold for export
and not yet shipped.
Uroomhnll reported that American re
ceipts and Increasing stocks In tho United
States, coupled with tho fact that at
times American offers were pressed for
sale, wero tending to create conservatism
at Liverpool. Tho market was firm early
but reacted. Argentine prospects continue
excellent, generally speaking, and ship
pers of that country, have begun to offer
more freely nt prices suitable to English
buyers. It Is expected that shipments
from Argentine shortly will fill the gap
made by Canada. Argentlno exports this
week wero estimated at 80,000 bushels.
Kaln has hindered sowing in parts of
Franco, where wheat Is strong.
Corn was easier, with trade small, but
thero was freo buying on thcdecllno. Re
ceivers reported light malls, the country
consigning and selling very little fdr this
season of tho year, taking Into consid
eration the good weather for curing and
moving the crop. Shipments from Argen
tina for the week were estimated at -I.C79,-000
bushels. Tho market at Liverpool
turned ensler after early firmness on the

.STORIES FROM BATTLE FRONT
SHOW MINOR HORRORS OF WAR
A story of a boy leading a bayonet
charge Is told by Corporal Ishefwood,
D. C, 2d Manchester, , ono of ISO
wounded who recently arrived at Cardiff.
Ho said:
"On October roth the Germans were all
around us, nnd their fire enfiladed our
trenches. First our lieutenant wag
wounded, then tho sergeant, and we were
left without a single ofTlcer to command
the platoon. We wero wondering what to
do, when a private, a boy of 18, the baby
of the company, threw up his cap, and
with a ringing cbeer, yelled! "fix bay
onets, ladsl" Wo did, and charged the
advancing Germans The boy was in the
net of bayonettlng a German when the
latter shouted, "For God's sake, don't
stick mol" "It Is too late," replied the
youngster; "It Is through you."
One of the minor things that will re
main to mnrk this war Is a new Issue of
French coinage. The difference that will
mark tho coins struck during the tlmo
tho Invaders were In France Is very small,
but It Is rendered necessary by the fact
that tho French Mint has been removed
to Castelsarrasin, a picturesque, sleepy
little town near Toulouse. The alteration
will consist of changes In two little marks
of tho place of origin, placed one on
either ,slde of tho date, For the coins
struck In Paris theso signs have been a
tiny cornucopia nnd a torch. What tho
sign will be for the coins struck at Cas
telsarrasin Is not yet known.
A feature of the aerial part of the war
has been tho employment by both French
and German nlr corps of a new kind of
missile, a small steel arrow, which, when
dropped from a height, proves a peculiar
ly deadly weapon.
In recent fighting two soldiers of the
137th French Infantry Regiment captured
tho colors of the 28th Regiment of Ger
man Infantry, whose colonel was taken
prisoner. In recognition of this brilliant
feat of arms the colors of the 137th Infan
try have been decorated with tho Crown
of the Legion of Honor.
As to the singular Ideas of what con
stitutes neutrality that somo persons en
tertain, an Administration ofllclal at
Washington relates the following:
Two Irishmen were discussing the war.
One was extreme In his views, so his com
panion warned him that he ought to be
more moderate.
"Sure, and don't ye remember what the
President says about ye should not take
any sides In the war?" queried tho one.
"Faith, and Ol ant neutral," replied the
other: "I don't care what country whips
the Kulser."
And speaking of the neutrality subject.
"Pat" McKenna, suave usher outside
President Wilson's office door. Is self-appointed
censor of discussion among news
paper men on war topics. Sometimes the
debate waxes warm. But "Pat," always
loyal to his chief, puts a summary stop
to those arguments.
"No wnr talk around here," ho com
mands "The first thins you know you'll
bo getting past .the neutrality proclama
tion, and, besides'; you'll disturb the Presi
dent." A story of the heroism of the Belgian
Captain Nyssen, a well known sportsman
who now holds a command In a regiment

"TtM tho German commander that t do

He has to deal with the soldiers of. fS

"Yes," said the recruit, "bo I volun

A refugees' romance reached Its duly :
sentimental conclusion In tho wedding ai
