C, Dec. 18, 1917. "To the People of the South" "Every year the normal travel is greatly in creased during the Holiday season. This year it will be swelled by the return to their homes for Christmas of a large number of troops now in camp in the South. Furthermore, an extra ordinary current traffic in military supplies, fuel and necessary commercial freight may be expected during the Holidays to limit our ability to provide comfortable passenger trans portation. "In view of these conditions, the Southern Railway Company earnestly appeals to thes traveling public not to attempt trips during the A Christmas holidays except there be urgent necessity, to the end that those who must travel may do so with a minimum of incon venience. .

The market opened steady at a decline or 6 points to an advance of 13 points. large number of Deoember notices were reported out than on any previous notice day this month, but they were estimated at not over 8,000 bales and were soon taken.

T TS ' May !-22 OATS December May PORK January Ti'in Germany's profest contempt, for America's war preparations is somewhat belied by evidences of her desperate determination to win before our soldiers arrive in force. Thus dispatches tell of westward-moving German troop-trains congesting the roads to Flanders, of Austrian forces shifted to the French front, and of a growing intensity of Teutonic artillery-fire along the whole Western- line. Advices that leak out from Germany all indicate that the Kaiser's only hope of victory lies in delivering a "knoqk-out" blow, before American forces can get into the field. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for December 22d, one of the leading articles deals with the possibilities in the'German drive on the Western front, and how it may affect the Allies chances of victory. Other features are: Turning the Light On Our War Activities Editorial Opinion Upon The Charges in Our War Is the U. S. Government Competent to Run the Railroads? 4 Germany' Deep-Laid Plot Against U.
