Ready for Defense.

From the first we have had a clear
and settled policy with regard u
military establishments. We nevu..
have had, and while we retain our
present principles and ideals we never
shall have, a large standing army.
II asked, are you ready to defend
yourselves? We reply, most assured
ly. to the utmost; and yet we shall
not turn America into O military
camp. We will not ask our young
men to spend the best years OF their
lives making soldiers Of themselves.
There is another sort Of energy In us.
It viii know how to declare itself and
make itself effective should occasion
arise. And especially when half the
world is on fire we shall be careful
to make our moral insurance against
the spread Of the confagration very
definite and certain and adequate In
deed.
Let us remind ourselves, therefore,
OF the only thing we can do or will
do. We must depend in every time
of national peril, IN the future as in
the past, not upon standing army,
nor yet upon a reserve army, but upon
a citfzenry trained and accustomed
to arms. It win be right enough. right

The situation has been stimulated by
the nationwide interest in the "buy-a-

of a resumption of international trading
in the staple will unquestionably attract
all classes of buyers.
The report from the Census Bureau on
the consumption by the United States of
cotton during August showed that Ameri-
can sptndles had used 80, 900 bales. or only
5000 bales less than for the same month
last year. This is a remarkably good
showing and will probably mark the
