GERMAN JOYS
FOR AMERICANS
Big Cargo of Foreign Made Toys
Brought To America In a
Dutch Steamer.
NEWPORT NEWS, Nov. 13-A Dutch
steamer reached here today loaded
with Christmas toys from Germany,
which had been sent to Holland from
♦lie toy factories of the German Em
pire and then shipped in a neutral
ship to American ports.
A toy shortage exists in the East,
as the larger part of the toys sold
in the United States are made in
Germany. The American factories
have been busy working day and
night to supply the demand and the
shipment today will relieve the
minds of the wholesale merchants.

COTTON EXCHANGE
SOON REOPEN
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—The cotton
exchanges in New York and Liver
pool are to be opened next Monday.
The authorities feared to open them
until the reserve banks were in con
dition to aid the financing of the
big crop. It was thought that if the
exchanges were opened the bottom
would be knocked out of the market
and a panic would result, as many
holders of cotton must let go quickly.
Germany is now buying strongly fol
lowing the announcement that the
British would not consider cotton
consigned to Germany as contraband.

This Exclusive of Canadians—New
Recruits Drilling Eagerly To Fit
Themselves for War.
LONDON, Nov. 13.—The British
army on the rolls and drilling in the
United Kingdom amounts approxi
mately to 1,500,000 men. Of this to
tal about 800,000 men belong to what
.is termed “Kitchener’s army”—men
who have responded to his two calls
for 500,000 soldiers to serve three
years or for the duration of the war.
About 600,000 belong to the territor
ials, while the remainder are enroll
ed with the special services, so call
ed, or with the regular army, and
have seen service previously.
The territorials are considered the
flower of the force, as a great ma
jority of them belong to the middle
and upper middle classes and are men
accustomed to athletic pursuits. Both
physically and mentally they are con
sidered by military men to be about
the finest body of its numbers ever
assembled under arms.
They are drilling with feverish en
thusiasm and are anxious to go abroad
for service on the firing line. A con
siderable proportion of Field Marshal
Lord Kitchener’s army, of course, is
not yet fully equipped, but the men
are working hard. They are being
armed and clothed with great rapid
ity. The Canadian contingent is not
included in this total.
