inquiries In well informed circles, how

Germany officially Is authorizing these
efforts TO secure advantage, tho differ

Ashold appears to be furthering the
efIorts OF the German agents, which
already have resulted in securing a
concession for the construction of

made to obtain cable concession and
the acceptance Of German loan. Such

70 s-roP COTTON BUYING.
British DEALERS Want to Lower Prices
Of Raw Material.

London Aug. 1.-At an emergency
meeting Of the international committee
of the International cotton congress
held here yesterday it was decided to
urge spinners in Europe and Ameri-
ca to refrain from buying American
cotton during the next three months
except for immediate wants and thus
1 try to ot.viate the danger Of the next
cotton season beginning with raw
material at the high prices at present
prevailing.
The committee contends there will
be plenty of time when actual figures
are available regarding the new crop
to consider the situation that will then
arise and should the supply prove less
than the demand to take such steps as
may be necessary to meet the condi-
sltions. At the same time the committee
feels sure the surplus from last years
crop guarantees full supply even in
the event of the next crop proving
small.
The committee decided to organize
service for the obtaining of correct
information as to the actual consump-
,tion Of cotton thruout the world on the
lines proposed by the congress at Man
chester in June last and hopes to soon
publish the details of the scheme.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The diplo-
mats lot is not altogether a happy one.
especially If the country which he rep
resents and that to which he is accre-
dited are parts Of the great world
current Of progress and commerce. For
the most part, the every day life of the
diplomat is a lazy one. He has little
or nothing to do for eleven months of
the year and tine few weeks of eha
busy season, which he has determined
his position for the next rest period.
But whether working at his profession
or enjoying himself socially, he must
be very circumspent Individual, and
must hold himself aloof from every
ching that might by any stretch of the
Imagination, lend itself to scandal or
criticism When ever this simple rule
OF conduct has been violated, trouble
for the diplomat-has always resulted,
The most recent example of the truth
that this rule has no exceptions is
Herbert w. Bowen, dismissed within a
month from his post as minister to
Venezuela for having given to the
daily press scurrilous stories about his
predecessor, Mr.. Loomis, now assistant
secretary of state.
In looking back over the diplomatic
history of the United States, compare
lively few cases are found where 1t has
been necessary to censure or retire an
American diplomatic representative for
cause There have been several sep
arations from service during the last
thirty years but Bowen is the only
man of the lot to be actually dis
missed. designations threw the man
tie of charity over the offences of the
other delinuuents.
