must necessarily be one Of the chief
sources of supply for both sides, as
her ports are open and her shipping,
so much as there is of it, is free to
carry freight and passengers to and
from all parts of the world. Her
manufactures, her commerce and her
agriculture will be greatly stimulat-
ed, and should hostilities last for any
time will receive an impetus which
vii endure afterward.
No matter who wins she must pro-
fit. for she is like a broker in an ac-
tive market, who makes his commits
sions no matter whether prices rise

Italy will probably fall heir to Nice
and Savoy, taken from her by Napol-
con III over half century ago as
the price of his friendship in her
quarrel with Austria: not that Ger
many loves Italy. but because in dis
membering France it will be neces-
sary to take Nice and Savoy from
her, and Italy is the only power to
whom they can be given. Whereas
if Germany and Austria lose, the
Trentino and Trieste, with the con-
troll of the Adriatic, and possibly
Albania. will very naturally be the
payment for Italian neutrality.
1t does not. however, seem prob
able that Italy will depart from the
course she has set herself. The costs
and difficulties of war and the ad-
vantages of neutrality are both so
great that Italy will undoubtedly pre-
fer to be ruled by national self-inter-
est rather than by any passing emo
ton.

GETTING DOWN TO WORK
HOUSE COMMITTEE TO LOOK AZ

Pressure Is Being Brought to Bear
In Favor of Entire Elimination of
Cotton in 1915.

than an acreage reduction bill Will

That an acreage reduction bill viii
be passed is recognized. but 1t is b!
no means certain that warehouse
bill will pass for two reasons; first
because of the lack of money, and
second, that there is opposition to the
State embarking in business enter
prise, directly or indirectly.
The suggestions of postponing the
time for the payment of taxes are
dead. The stay law idea will not gel
very far. In the Senate the bill look
ing to the postponement of taxes was
killed and on the House side it re-
ceived an unfavorable report.

Pressure is being brought to bear
upon the special committee from the
house appointed to consider bills re-
lating to the curtailment of cotton
production to report measure pro.
viding for the elimination of the sta
pie entirely in 1915.
It is impossible to- judge with any
degree of accuracy at this stage OF
the session what headway the total
elimination idea is making among the
memb bers of the house at large, but
there are indications that converts
are being rapidly made to the plan
of producing no cotton next year.
The revolutionary idea Of elimi-
mating cotton as a crop in 1915 is
being opposed on the ground that the
general assembly has a right to reg
ulate the amount of the crop pro-
duced. but the the police power of the
State does ot give scope for the de-

IS ANXIOUS TO HELP.
President Wilson Talks About the
Cotton Situation.

After an interview with Presiden,
Wilson Wednesday morning the fol-
lowing statement was issued in be-
half of the six members of the South
Carolina delegation in the House who
were present:
Representative Finley, Johnson,
Lever, Aiken, Whaley and Byrnes, by
appointment, called on the president
this morning. The call was for the
purpose of discussing the conditions
in the South growing out Of the par
alysis of the cotton market. The con-
ference lasted for more than IN hour,
Every phase of the situation was talk
ed over freely and fully.
''The representative left thorough
ly impressed with the belief that
President Wilson is in deep and thor
ough sympathy with the South and
that he intends to use all the power
he has under the law. 1t is not be-
lieved, however. by the representa-
tives that the president would favor
or that congress would pass any ol
the emergency bills that have been
proposed to meet the abnormal con-
ditions.
lone suggestion much discussed
the last two or three days has been
that the president might issue one
hundred millions of Panama bonds
sell them and deposit the money in
the distressed sections. There is nc
evidence that the president has
changed his view that this is not g
good time to offer bonds, as he eX
pressed in his last address to con
gress."
Representatives Finley and John
son, joint authors of House Bill 49,,
0O4, recently introduced by Mr.. Fin
ley for the relief of the cotton grow
ers, said that they were not welded
to any particular measure, but con
sidered the situation so grave thai
they were willing to vote for an!
feasible plan to give relief to the
South.
Messrs. Finley, Johnson, Whale!
and Aiken declared themselves op
posed to adjournment, because the.
think congress should stay in session
to give whatever federal aid it car
to the farmers in their distress.
President Wilson said to Repre-
sentative Lever that he was keenl.
disappointed over the defeat of the
effort to call up the Lever warehouse
bill last Monday in the House, anc
hoped that some way could yet b.
found to get the measure up for con
Sideration.

call doubts of Turkeys hostile in
tention against Russia ended Sun
day." says dispatch from Constan-
tinople, when following the closing
of the Dardanelles and the departure
of the cruisers Goeben and Breslan
for the Black Sea, Turkey closed also
the Bosphorus with mines, torpedoes
and chains. Turkey also began plac-
ing new heavy artillery in the Black
Sea forts of Kilia, Riya and Kara
burun."
By an agreement entered into by
the powers of Europe in 1871 it was
prescribed that no foreign warship
might enter the straits of the Dar-
dannelles except with the consent OF
the Ottoman government, and even
merchant vessels were allowed to
pass the Castle OF Chanak-Kaleshi at
the narrowest point Of the straits only
during the day.
This treaty was confirmed in 1856
by the treaty of Paris, signed after
the Crimean war, and again in 1878
these conditions were recognized by
the treaty of Berlin and extended to
include the Bosphorus.
But even before 1841 the ap-
proaches to Constantinople were seal
ed. In 1888, when the Egyptian Gen.
Mehmet Ali Pasha was threatening
the Turkish capital, Russia went to
the assistance of Sultan Mahmud II,
and in consideration of this obtained
a secret treaty obliging Turkey when
ever. there was necessity for such
action to close the Dardanelles to the
ships of ALI nations.
An English fleet under Sir John
Duckworth passed the forts Of the
Dardanelles and sailed into the sea
of Marmosa in 1897. The Straits
were again entered by the British
wneh the government sent ships to
help Turkey in her last war with
Russia. During the Russo-Japanese
war a Russian volunteer cruiser fly
ing merchant flags and carrying SOL
diers and guns slipped through the
Bosphorus and the Dardanelles and
out into the Aegean Sea. In April,
1912, the italian fleet bombarded the
forts at the entrance to the straits.
These three last named incidents
constitute the only important viola
tions of the treaty since it was sign,

MUST HELP THEMSELVES

COTTON CONDITION.
Bankhead Says Everybody Realizes
That Hope of Government Action
Is Gone.

Is Gone.
The frank admission that the sal
! vation of the Southern cotton grow
ers would have to be worked out by
the States rather than by the national
government and that if the planters
were to wait for the passage OF a
bill for the government to buy cot
ton at 10 cents or to lend amounts
on cotton direct, the relief would not
come in time for next years crop
was made on the floor of the Senate
Thursday afternoon by Senator Bank
head of Alabama.
Senator Bankhead suggested that
each individually, and without wait
! ing for all the others to join, should
provide for loan to buy one-haif the
crop of cotton of each individual
planter. This loan would he issued
in the form of scrip ranging down as
low as $40, but no interest would be
paid on the denominations lower
than 500. This could be used in
paying for the cotton and would per-
NIT the planter to discharge his debts
to the merchants who could pass
them along to the banks in settlement
of their obligations.
The banks could exchange the
small denominations for $1,000
bonds bearing interest at four per
cent. Then warehouses would be
established by the States and the
counties should be authorized to pro-
vide warehouses for the storage of
the half of the crop bought by the
State.
To avoid tremendous crop next
year, making it impossible then for
the State to sell the half Of this years
crop it would be holding, he proposed
tax of SO cents a bale on all cotton
produced next year and of % cents
an acre on all land planted in cotton
for next years crop. In addition
there would be tax of 81 on each
bale bought by the State.
Every senator and congressman in
Washington, said Mr.. Bankhead.
"who knows anything about the sit
uation and is candid enough to admit
it realizes that no law can be passed
at this time for the government to
buy cotton or to loan money direct to
the farmers. t think it would be
wicked to hold out false hopes to our
people.
Although the house banking and
currency committee decided that it
would not report out the Henry bill
or any similar legislation at the pres
ent session Of congress. Southern
members got together and practically
united on a bill introduced by Re-
preventative Howard of Georgia.
This measure contains several fea-
lures of others and makes loans of
S250,00,000 on cotton contingent
upon the staple being placed in ware
houses and being insured.
Either State or national banks
could participate in these deposits
by complying with the regulations Of
the treasury department. The main
difference from other bills is that be-
sides providing for loans it makes
the warehouse feature q necessary
prerequisite for such loans

the cotton growers. He told callers
Thursday that the organization Of

suance of more money to help cot
ton men, said he believed there was
plenty of money in the country. but
the difficulty was to get it to the
