On the way back to the trenches I saw a poor German soldier trying to get to his water bottle. He was in a fearful condition. I knelt down by his side. Finding his own water bottle was empty, I gave him water from mine. Somewhat revived, he opened his eyes saw my Salvation Army Leaguer's button. His drawn face lit up with a smile, and he whispered In broken English 'Salvation Army.? I also am a Salvation Army soldier.’ Then he felt for his Salvation Army badge. It was still pinned to his coat, though bespattered with blood. “I think wo both shed a few tears, and then I picked him up and with as much tenderness as possible, for the terrible hall of death was beginning again, I carried him to the ambulance. But he was beyond human aid. When I placed him on th* wagon he gave a gentle tug at my coat, thinking he wanted to say something I bent low and listened, and he whispered ‘Jesua, Safo with Jesus.'" the paper for the future, Mr. Cheat ham intimates that tt may not be at a far distant date when The Chronicle will be issued semi-weekly. 16 DAYB OVERDUE.

AT THE STRAND Hobart Bosworth, the well-known producer of feature photo-plays, is taking the leading part In the "Odys sey of the North,”/at the Strand today and tliis evening, continuously. Crowds are attending. Peter Milne, in the Motion Picture News, in reviewing this picture, says, In part: "Naass, the central figure of the tale, Is possessed with an exception ally peculiar character. At times he may be pitied and then again con demned. Throughout the picture he is continually in pursuit of the man who stole his wife, and in his long searches, wanderings and the misfor tunes that befall him, one's heart warms out to him. But then <when he at last finds his wife who has grown to love her new husband, and when he leaves them alone to perish from starvation and cold In the frozen north, not much sympathy is extended to him. Rhea Haines plays the part of Un ga, the woman who Naass loves with all his savage heart, and Gordon Shek ville appears ae Axel Bunderson, the man who stole her from him and who suceeded In making her love him. A number of others appear In the cast, but they play small parts, as in most of the scenes these three are the only ones that take part. The sub-titles are all In the first person, as the story is told by Naass to two of his friends. He is the last of a family of hardy northern sailors, who has been brought up with a tribe of Alaskan Indians, of which Unga is the last. He travels for many miles and Is at one time made a prisoner In the Si berian salt mines, where he receives many a oruel beating, but his search is renewed, and his chance for re venge comes, which he unhesitatingly grasps. Whether or not his action is iustlfied must be determined by seeing the picture. "The Ring and the Man,” is the Strand’s offering for tomorrow; Wed nesday, Mary Plckford comes in “Bishop's Carriage”; Thursday, "The Man from Mexico”; Friday “The Plum Tree", “The School-Girl Lark” and the Strand War Series, and Saturday, “Sport and Travel in Central Africa.” AT THE BIJOU Today inaugurates a new policy of entertainment at the popular Bijou, as Managers Sparks and Schrameck will offer their big clientele, begin ning with the usual matinee this af ternoon, a mirth-provoking musical comedy.

Local Banks Lend Little Money to Store Cotton. A Reply to Bankers Advice to Sell Cotton at the Present Prices. In reply to the interview of "a prom inent banker” in yesterday’s Herald, hero is the other point of view as furnished by a student of the pres ent situation, FARMERS WHO CAN HOLD THEIR COTTON ARE FOOLS TO SELL IT AT THE PRESENT PRICE, "The prominent banker who in yes terday’s Herald urges the farmers to sell their cotton at the present price is half right and half wrong,” said this gentleman. “Farmers or any one else who ovvo debts owe their credit ors a reasonable and prompt settle ment. If they are unwilling lo do this lliey should be forced to do it. Un less they do this, they will find their credit destroyed for the future. The prominent banker who In yesterday's Herald uttered these platitudes con tributed nothing to\ the situation. "Here arc the points on which the present cotton situation swings. They are worth serious consideration from tiie farmers, bankers and merchants of the South: "Ist.—-The South must carry over n large surplus of this year’s crop— absolutely must carry 4t. over for there is no market sufficient to consume all of this year's crop of cotton. There will be at least 6,000,000 bales of cot ton for the South to carry over, for which there Is absolutely no market at any reasonable price. "2nd.- To attempt to Hell every hale of this year's crop of cotton would i he suicidal and futile. It couldn’t he ! sold within the usual time at 4 cents a pound. "3rd.—The loss to tiie South on 7 cents cotton Ih a big one. It will ho almost doubled if the entire crop is to be sacrificed within (lie next few months at whatever it will bring un der present war conditions. “4th. —Most of the 150,000 hales of | cotton that AugUHta is storing and . Helling gradually ts financed with mon ey outside of Augusta. Many of the hanks of Augusta lend little or no money to the factors or advance little j or no money for tho purpose of storing I and holding cotton. "sth.—Augusta factors have shown their ability to secure the money to make reasonable advances on theae 150,000 bales of cotton, and they are going to make a profit out of tho transaction. Augusta iH going to make more money out of the cotton trade this year Ilian ever before. "fith. The distress cotton of tho South this year as always will have lo ho sold at any price It will bring in the open market, but the farmers who have credit and resources and ample security are not fools enough to sell their cotton for less than It cost them to raise it and on the face of that turn round and raise another crop. They figure It Is cheaper to hold cot ton at. tho present, prices to hold cot it. Some of them figure 1t is cheaper to buy cotton at the present pries than to raise It next year and a good many of them are going to do this very thing. "7th. —The demand Is quickening ev ery day for the cotton of the South and the salvation of tho South Is to market the crop gradually and at the same time to make up Its mind to curry over a surplus of 6,000,000 hales. . "Bth. —Uotton Is going up Just as soon ns tho world understands that the South Is going to cut the acreage in half. If the South Is fool enough to plant anywhere near the present acreage, cotton will be worth about 3 cents a pound next year. “9th.—lnstead rtf advising the farm ers to cell their cotton at the pres ent prices, the best advice the mer chants and bankers and cotton factors can give them Is to hold what cot ton Is honestly theirs, to pay theft debts with the rest of their cotton, or to further secure their creditors with other collateral, and to get busy with other farming operations that will feed and clothe them for the comint year. "10th. —if the South will diversify Its crops and cut down the acreage in cotton, the 6,000,000 hales surplus that will have to be carried over will prove In tho end the best Investment the South ever made. "11th. —The farmers must hear their share of the burden —they raised the cotton—some of It at least belongs to them free of debt. They will he wise to hold tills part of the crop. The banks of the Routh, the merchants and the cotton factors, must also bear their share of the burden. "12th. —In conclusion, no general rule or general advice will cover the entire situation. Farmers who owe debts and cannot arrange with their creditors for an extension will have to sell their cotton for what it will | wring. They always have had to do this very thing. Farmers who own their own cotton or can make satis factory arrangements with their far tors and creditors are going to use their own Judgment, as to when to sell their cotton. They always have und always will. "The Mouth Is In splendid shape both to diversify Its crops and to hold a considerable proportion of its cotton. The better this program ts carried out the richer the Mouth Is going to he In the near future.” A Qulnlns That Won't Msks You Nervous ‘ KKBBILINK la a trade-murk name which designates the first, original and only reliable Tasteless Byrup of Quinine.
