GERMANY TAKES LEAD

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a revolt against
American cotton is the title of a long re-
port just issued at the State Department
from United States Consul General Mason,
at Berlin. Germany. Mr. Mason SAYS there
is a simultaneous effort on the part of
Great Britain, France and Germany to
emancipate their textile industries from de-
pendence on America cotton. Not only in
Germany but throughout Europe he says
there is a growing feeling of resentment
against this dependence and a determina-
ton that their spinning and weaving in
dustries must be emancipated at any cost
from such vassalage by the development of
wholly new sources of supply.
The German press, he says. charges that
the American cotton market is at the mer-
cy Of spectators who drive up and down
the prices to suit their own purposes Thus
far the movement is in its infancy, but its
future may be ominous for the cotton grow
ers of our Southern States. says Mr. Mason.
Experiments in the East African colonies
during the last two years have been entire
~ successful. 1t is announced that there
are many thousand square miles of land
in East Africa with soil and climate well
adapted for the cultivation of cotton

in case the native tribes prove too incom-
petent. Mr.. Mason says that il may be
many years before this European crusade
for colonial cotton may be accomplished,
but whether we like IL or not the day will
come sooner or later when the cotton Of our
Southern uplands and valleys no longer
will be king beyond the frontiers Of the
United States

The Call of Feb. Is says: Shortly aft
er the American ship W. F. Babcock
left Baltimore last September she was
reported ashore in Chesapeake Bay.
Word was received later of her having

ashore was carried by some one who
sighted her after the fog had lifted
but before she mad got up her anchoc.
The Babcock left Baltimore 129 days
