IIE ARE FRIENDS,
CULLED SERINS
IT ANTWERP
Most Disheartening Incident
Occurred at Siege When Ene
my, by Ruse, Captured Bel
gian Commandant.
London, 3:36 a. m.—" One of the most
(iisilnartcnlnK Indents of the Antwerp
occurred Monday night at Duffel,
a position where the trenches were
Jiiald ny a fine regiment of Belgian
Chasseurs," says a dispatch to The
Morning Post from one of its corre
spondents in Belgium. The message
continues
"latte at night the Belgian* saw ap
proaching from along the river men
whom they took to be English sol
dier* and who called out: 'Wd are
friends' when the sentinels challenged
them. The colonel of the Belgian regl
nrmt himself was watching them slid
uiw them go tip as If to speak with
the sentries Then suddenly lie found
himself gagged and saw the sentinels
strangled. The Hermans then rushed
hi on the Belgian soldiers, most of
whom were asleep in the trenches.
When the attack was over only 800
survived of the 2.000 Belgians,
"This was the third misfortune of
the defense. The accidental blowing
up of Port Wavre Bt, Catharine waa
the first and the cutting of the city
water supply was the second.”
MR. L. J. PERRY, WITH RENB
- LYONS & CO„ SAYS
At this time of general depres
sion (due to the Kuropean war),
to all engaged In the cotton busi
ness; 1 believe myself justified In
now offering a word of encour
agement to my friends and saveral
features have arisen within the
last forty-eight hours which tend
to hear me out In this view. True,
ruling prices are low below the
cost of production—and, there
fore, unsatisfactory, but the
present prices sre beginning to
attract attention, and will lead to
good buying, especially as soon
ss the great exchanges open.
That day is probably not fnr off,
us dlfin te pisns iiave now been
presented which will lead to an
early opening of the exchanges,
thua leading to speculative de
mand.
The Kngilsh spinning and man
ufacturing districts have appealed
to Parliament for aid to accumu
late reserves, which will prob
ably be extended in some shape,
as England has Just decided to
assist Egypt. On the Continent
of Europe, the mills In the non
warrlng countries sre running,
while even In the war sons some
mills are working and making
strenuous efforts to obtains sup
plies of raw material. Japan is
availing of the prices to stock up.
Front Canada comes the news
that ten mills have resumed ope
rations, giving employment to
7,(i0tl persons. Our Southern nnd
New England mills are at work,
many Increasing their hours, and
one plant at Kail River has just
opened after twenty consecutive
weeks of Idleness.
As tending to show that after
the first depressing Influences of
war on cotton, prices usually re
bound in some AnstHnees In quit*
a pronounced manner, I think the
appended list will prove quite In
teresting. There is no reason
why this war should prove ex
ceptional My Southern friends
must not think themselves the
only ones suffering from the war
conditions—we all are—but the
sun still shines behind the clouds
—and will soon break forth.

TRUE AND
UNBIASED
Everybody knows that the
TRUE story of the colossal
war cannot be gained from
first reports. The news of each
day brings us so close to events
that we cannot see them in true*
perspective—we “cannot set
the forest for the trees. ,, First
reports are often changed by
later news, so the task of writ
ing a TRUE story is, indeed,
difficult. But it is being done
in THE NATIONS AT WAR,
so that ALL may have a clear,
unbiased, dependable version
of FACTS that become a vivid
mental picture throughout the
years to come—a TRUE his
tory of the world’s greatest
war.
