From the same authority I have it that the German losses in Champagno alono exceed 00,000. In Artois they lost between 30,000 and 40,000 min. Although it is impossible to send an estimate of the French casualties. I am empowered to say that their total is considerably blow that if the Germans.

AMERICAN PLANTERS' DEPORTED SUCCESS,
If the experiments now being conducted to grow coloured cotton are entirely sue- cessful, the United States will no longer be dependent on German dyestuffs, says a New York Reuter telegram.
A southern planter has succeded in producing cutten which ranges in colour from white to deep olive gres. The planter is positive that black cotton, Bought for ages by spinners and manu- facturers, is about to become a reality. No less on authority than Luther Bur- bank, the famon, horticulturist, considers black cotton a possibility in the near future,
