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.

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.
