BELGIAN OFFICER USING FIELD TELEPHONE AT BATTLE OF
LOUVAIN.
This photograph, taken on the battlefield, gives a graphic idea of
how modern inventions have been brought Into play on tlie battlefield
to make war a blodter game than it has ever been before. The telephone
in use is one recently Invented hy a Frenchman. It has one disk against
which one speaks when sending a message anil liHtens when receiving
one. It is through an Intricate system of field telephones that the gen
erals of the opposing armies in northern France and Belgium have been
able to keep in touch with their wide spreading battle fronts. In wars
earlier Ilian the Spanish-American war. nil orders from headquarters had
to be carried by courier It is when the saving of time means the sav
ing of the day that the field telephone finds Its greatest use.
Japan Wants 2,000,000 Bales
American Cotton at 91-2 Cents
Instead of Usually 500,000 Bales Nippon Wishes to Control
Chinese Trade and Quadruples Her Consumption
The following l» a New- York special
to the Philadelphia Record:
New York. —The Japanese government
Ihrotigh Its bunking agencies. It was re
ported in the New York Cotton Trad..
Palsy, has Informed Its agents In the
Fulled Slates that It will ned 2.000,00 J
hate- of American cotton, aggregating ;»
value of about tIOn.OOO.nnO during fhis

“I’ve Bought a Bale
olCotton-Have You?"
Atlanta, Ga.—Huttons bearing the
Insignia Tve bought a hale of cotton.
Have you?" will be worn by hundred*
and perhaps thousanda of Georgians
within the next week a* a result of
one of the most business-like cam
paigns for quick and certain relief ever
Inaugurated. It Is the "Buy a Hals"
campaign, and It Is spreading like wild
fire.
The "Buy a Bale" movement has
been the subject of a great deal of
talk recently, but It brought slight
action. Yesterday, at a railed meeting
of business men, the plan was put be
fore them and In ten minutes cash
subscriptions were taken to purchase
301 bates of cotton at ten cents, of
S3O a bale. Every man there pledged
himself to go out and sell more.
Actual cotton will be purchased,
brought to destination and stored. The
Committees will see that the cotton is
purchased direct from those planters
who actually need aid In handling their
crop. The big fellows with monev
or financial backing can get along sot
themselves.
The movement, It I* expected, will
run the length and breadth of the
cotton state* of the South within f
week. Telegrams and letter* have
been sent every paper In the South,
urging that they start a similar cam
paign and thus assure the purchase
of eight million bales. The buyers
will hardly have * chance to lose, and
their purchase will probably prove a
fair Investment The buyers will
pledge themselves to hold the cotton
for s year, or such time as Is necessary
to assur a profitable msrketlng of the
crop.

That some cotton haa been bought for
the account of Japan has been apparent
by the fact that HO and 90-day cotton
bills In Yen recently appeared here. But
they did not appeal to New York hank
ers, and they have since been changed
to sight bills Japan has readily assento 1
to the change, as the government • an j

There is only one way to judge the probabilities in the terrific
European conflict of nations. Get your information and statis
tics from a reliable source. So much contradictory matter has
already been published, that the average person is very much
at sea regarding the true conditions as they really exist. You
want to KNOW THE FACTS exactly as they are—the naval,
army and aerial strength of each of the great Powers involved
in the big European war. Only then can you judge the possi
ble outcome.
Everything About the WAR
The Herald's latest European War Map gives you the exact
facts—the number of men available for duty in army and
navy, the classification of naval vessels and aerial craft. There
is also a vast amount of valuable information about each coun
try, national debts, population, previous decisive battles, etc.
Besides this there are sixteen portraits of European rulers,
maps of the leading European capitals and strategic naval
points.
