WASHINGTON Dec. 22-An important

IL is understood that Messrs Schmidt

take sides with the American fertilizer
concerns which entered into contracts for
potash ~ "A low price. The subject will
probably receive further consideration at
the meeting Of tho Cabinet tomorrow
morning. Many members of Congress
from southern and Western states have
urged the President To take drastic action
u compe! the German Government To
protect the contracts Of the American
fertilizer concerns. The President and
secretary Knox still have the matter
under consideration. IL IL likely. how
ever that definite decision will soon be
reached.
Most OF the members Of the Cabinet
are Of the opinion, IL rs understood, that
the action Of the German Gov eminent i'm

In favor OF pdtting the matter sqlsarely
before the German Gov eminent through

$ "fssnEYs. f,se.ss ~s',isasssFeef-om Kiel
to the Lo<aianlsiosr says the American
Atlantic fleet now in English and French
waters has received orders to visit kiel
and will arrive there on January 10.
The American Embassy here knows
nothing about any such programme
and the Foreign Office equally has no
information confirmatory OF the state
ment in the Lokaldnlsigor.
wAsHISoroS. Dec. cit ~ likely
that the Atlantic baftleship fleet now
abroad will make cruise TO German
ports next summer. A tentative decision
upon such a cruise has been reached by
the Navy Department. The detailed
itinerary has not been worked out. IL
Ia probable however. that the battle
ships will visit KEEL and probably one or
two other German ports.
On the present foreign cruise the battle
ships visited only British and French
ports on the nglish Channel. The fact
that no visit to ports Of Germany was
included in their itinerary has caused
some unfavorable criticism OF the policy
Of the Gov ernment by German news
papers This was accumulated by the
recent speech Of Commander William
4. Sims of tn. battleship Minnesota
who was quoted a. saying in London
ON December Z that Great Britain would
probably receive assistance from the
United states IN case of a foreign war.
This statement was telegraphed TO Ger
many and II has been the subject Of much
criticism in the German press.
IL was explained AT the Navy Depart
men, to-day that the present itinerary
was arranged hurri.dly after the out
break OF cholera at ports in the Mediter-
ranein Sea. where It was originally IN
tended to send the fleet In the revision
OF the plan OF the cruise il Was found
that there was not sufficient time to
include any German ports without inter-
fering with the winter EXERCISES Of the
feet. which Will begin At Guantanamo
early In January The vessels of the
Atlantic fleet will assemble IN IN. English
Channel on December 10 and proceed
TO Guantanamo. During their voyage
thither scouting EXERCISES will be held
by the fifth division of the fleet under
Rear Admiral = = stanton consisting
Of armored cruisers Tennessee. Washing
ton, North Carolina. Montsnl and the
scout cruisers Chester. birmingham and
Salem.
The cruisers will sail from Hampton
Roads shortly after January |. and will
attempt to locate and keep IN touch with
the baftleship fleet Plans for the exer-
cises and manruvres and target practice
for the fleet have heep arranged up 10
early next summer
There has been considerable feeling in
German naval circles because of the
failure Of the feet TO visit any German port
during its present cruise. IL has been
regarded "a severe snub and Count

has salaried state agent who devotes his
whole time to travelling over his state and sizing
up" the situation, sending in his conclusion by
telegraph but taking the precaution to write his
messages in a secret code or cipher so that no
person, not even the telegraph operators who han

gain hint as to what might be expected in a
forthcoming crop report
1t is at the crop-reporting headquarters al
Washington that this scheme of keeping watch
on the maturing cotton crop involves a task that
taxes human endurance. To convey Idea OF
its magnitude 1t is only necessary to explain that
during the cotton growing season the statisticans
are In correspondence with more than sixty thous
and public and private ginneries and upward Of
fifteen thousand bankers, merchants and others
who are In position to form opinions the cot

Intelligence officers" are looked up as received
at Washington and kept closely guarded until the
day appointed for preparing the monthly report.
Then the body Of experts known the Crop Re-
porting Board is locked In room and taking all
the accumulated Information, goes over 1t and
prepares general summary that embodes their
fndings-the average 1t were, of all the
ports received from every quarter. Conditions may

THEY GROW
Good Humor and Cheerfulness From
Right Food and Drink

Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago | was practically
given up by my doctor and was not ex-
pected to live long. My nervous sys-
tenn was in bad condition.

have nervous spells which would ex-
haust me and after each spell 1t would
take me days before could sit up in a

Old Pete's Little Inkn-

Foolish questions and funny an
Ewers were under discussion in the
Trenton avenue and Dauphin street
TohcC station the other day. and after
listening for a while to some amusing
instances. Sergeant McCay told the
following:
"Old Pete Flood was the attendant

ago, and 1t became the custom to ask
him how business was, just to hear
his reply. 1t came In a heavy bass

Ing. Now 1t happens that it is only the national
government that has the necessary facilities for
keeping tab upon the progress and development
OF each years cotton crop. Cotton is raised in
so many states and so wide an area that no
single firm or individual has the facilities for in
forming himself of the yield in all sections of
the cotton belt"
And yet accurate advance information as to
the state of the maturing crop is of the utmost
Importance to tens of thousands of American
citizens and other tens of thousands of people
over seas for be it known, the whole world de-
pends largely upon America for its cotton. The
business, commercial and financial world likes to
have peep ahead with reference to any agricul.
tural- crop in order to make plans accordingly
but in the case of cotton such foresight is espe.
cially vital. For, you understand, the condition
of a crop as reflected In the countrywide govern
ment reports tells everybody whether there Is to
be good yield a poor yield of cotton and
this in turn indicates to the grower whether he
will get high price low price for his fluffy
white product. And the forecast hints to the
manufacturer whether he will get his cotton
cheap or not. so 1t signifies to him what he must
charge for the completed goods 1t comes from
mills And SO all down the line to the ultimate
consumer the cotton crop reports carry In their
hidden meaning a message of low prices high
prices.

RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
War-Now an Aid In Fight
Ing Tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in. Boston in 1862, during

method OF raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera

Spain. Denmark. Norway. Russia.
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types OF charity stamps
used in all parts OF the world.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the antl-tuberCulosis
crusade In Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used In these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re.
suit OF the interest OF Jacob Riis in
Tuberculosis association, headed by
this movement, the Delaware Anti
Miss Emily P. BIssell and the Red
Cross society Of Delaware combined
| in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. SO
successful was this campaign that
I nearly $4,000 was realized. and the
next year. in 1908, the American Red
| Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis STAMP From
this sale, s135,OOO was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909.
This year. for the first time. the sale
