The ten days of furiously contested struggle have left both armies in such position that neither can claim any definite ad vantage and result must depend largely upon reinforcements. The Germans are thrusting persistently at the allies .center, while the French and British troops are working around the German flank. Day by day the allies line appears to gain slowly on both flanks, though theTcenter is stationary.

The National American Wpman Suffrage , Associa tion broke all precedents in its his tory today by joining officially the "Buy-a-Bale" movement wich is "spreading over the country. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the association, authorized IIrs. Stan ley McCormick, treasurer, ' to invest in Southern' cotton the fund known as the "Anna Howard Shaw fund," a small1 reserve fund amounting 1 $704 which has heretofore been held subject to ;all. Dr. Shaw, who is m interested student of Southern prob lems, instructed the treasurer of the association ' to invest this fund in- 14 bales of cotton at ten cents a pound. "It is Dr. Shaw's ideaf" said Mrs. Stanley McCormick, "that this mon ey, instead of lying, idle in the bank, should be put out where it can do a little public-spirited service. It is a very modest sum, of course, but I am sure it will prove to be at least an earnest effort of our good will "jo-v ward the South where we have so many gallant friends." Mrs. McCormick added that the fund would be divided up among the 14 Southern State associations. "Each atate president," she said, "will receive in a day or so a check for $50. She will be authorized to go into the open market and buy a bale of cotton at ten cents a pound. She can leave it in the warehouse if she likes, or she can take it to the State suffrage headquarters and give it a place of honor on the platform. The point simply is that the National au thorizes her, as trustee, to do her share in a perfectly disinterested way in a matter which we know is deeply engaging the attention of men and women in the South." The treasurer concluded with the 1 statement that so far as she knew the suffragists were prepared to stick to their investment until things had eas edv up in the South and cotton ' liad come back to its normal figure.

' Less4ecrecy Now About Des patch of Soldiers From' Southampton ARE EASILY HflTJULED Facilities Such as to Make Movement Without a Hitch Scores of Hospital Cars. Southampton, Sept. 22. The des patch of troops from Southampton con tinues, but the movements are how kept less secret than during the pas sage of the first expeditionary forces. The record then made provided an ex cellent test of the facilities here for handling such a great movement' of troops. Although the Expeditionary Forces was despatched from several points, Southampton handled the bulk of the 150,000 to 200,000 mien wiio were sent to the ' continent during the 'week's time. The docks at this place af ford more than one and a half miles of water front, with railway lines so close to the ships' docks that it is but a moment's work to transfer train- loads of men, horses, and equipment from the railway to the steamships, The precision with Which the transfer was made was so marked that an en tire train frequently unloaded in three minutes, and it was "not uncommon for' twenty trains to enter the docks and complete their task of unloading with in a sifrgle hour. 'The plan had been worked out by the War Office two years before. The small cars used for transporting horses accomodating only seven or eight an imals, proved a great factor in, the speedy transfers. Each horse had a separate compartmeiit, and the sides of the cars dropped- down in such & manner that the -animals stepped out without the A slightest confusion. Some Americanshft witnessed this movement remarljJithat the cars werefar more practical for this sort of work thafc the . large freight 'cars used in America, into ' which ? a niim- ber of horses were crowde? - . Scores of hospital cars still line th0 dock tracks here ready for the.recep1 tion of sick and -injured returning from the continent;- Red Cross -signs' are displayed and surgeons and nurses ara in the cars with everything ready for the? wounded.
