GERMAN METHODS ON THE FIELD.
PARIE, January 20th. The Tenipa Petrograd correspondent reports that the Germans are resorting to a number of ingenious new methods with the object of reducing the number of troops holding the front line trenches, They no longer extend along the whole front, but break off at certain points. Powerful redoubts, forts, and block houses, thickly wire anarcled, are, con- structed in the intervals between the trenches. Maro barbed-wire is laid out on the ground before the redoubts and forts thick enough to resist the ordinary clippers. These measures obviate the em ployment of supporting reserves nearer than two miles from the front.

THE COTTON TRADE,
LONDON, January 20th. The Government has requested the directors of the Liverpool Cotton Associa tion to urge the members not to accept. orders from persons not engaged in the cotton trade, or any large future order, and thus obviate the possibility of legis lation restricting trade.
The Times explains that the appeal is directed against gambling in "futures," which is likely to raise prices, necessitat- ing the sending of more money to America

Rio Router's correspondent at Janeiro says the raider has also captured the Frowndon Range (possibly the Snorden Range).
The raider is stated to be a vossel of the Mur type.
It is now known that the Spint Theo- dore was converted into a commerce- raider.
RAIDER IDENTIFIED,
RIO DE JANEIRO, January 20th. The raider is undoubtedly the Mave. It is believed she left Kisl, under the Danish dag, with a cargo of hay heaped on her deck to conceal the torpedo tubes. She carried a minelaying apparatus, telescopic funnels and many supplemen tary plates for the purpose of changing the appearance of her dock. When last seen she was painted black, but probably she has often changed the painting, as traces of the Danish colours were notice able on the hull beneath the last coat of paint.
