COTTON CROP OF
WORLD CONCERNED
Sir C.. NIAGARA Calls Solution of
Present Difficulty of SUI
preme importance.

Manchester, Oct. 10.-Sir Charles
NIAGARA. president of the Master Cot
tor Spnners' Association OF Great
Britain, had the following 10 say to-
dav on the cotton situation:
"For years | have advocated that II
war. plague. famine or revolution took
place, affecting the cotton industry,
that the industry, so far as England
is concerned, should be dealt with as
whole, and not from the point OF
view OF certain interests or lndlvldu-
sis. -.
1.-THE situation now 20 be dealt with
not only concerns the American cot
ton crop, but the cotton crop OF the
world as a whole. What affects the
cotton industry of Eng land affects
virtually every other industry. Inc
solution Of the present difficulty IS OF
supreme importance. II is evideh'
that. even if the English mills are able
TO run on half time, at least one-thlrd
of the worlds cotton crop would not
be wanted at a time when IT is pressed
heavily on the market, although but

chased between now and the end oil

tries are now paralyZed.'

GERMANS HAPPY
TO STAY ON SHIP
Officers Call Aliens at Work on
st. Paul Most COntented
Men i'm World.

on the American liner ST Paul,
which arrived here last night from
Liverpool, were thirty-nine Germans
and Austrians. who. according TO the
ships officers, are the most contented
men in the world.
They have been on the St. Paul for
at least a year and at the outbreak of
the war made an effort 20 return TO
their native land. Learning, however,
that escape in England meant impris-
onment, and that the chances to get
back to Germany from this port were
exceedingly remote, they elected to
feed the fires of the st. Paul and wait
upon her passengers until the war was
over.
Thirty-three of the thirty-nine
aliens who sail under the American
flag are Germans and are employed III
the freroom. Two of the Austrlans
are deck stewards and four others are
sailors.
A special guard of six British infan-
trymen have been watching them
every time the st. Paul sojourns in
Liverpool, merely as a precaution, but
none of the men has attempted to go
ashore.

FRENCH ACCLAIM
WILSON'S REPLY
Statesmen Highly Com
mend White House
. Answer to Kaiser.
Bv {. INMAN BARNARD.

lIaiis Correspondent Of The Tribune
Paris, Oct. TO- President Wilson's
reply TO Kaiser Wilhelm's telegram of
September has now been made public
here and is prominently displayed in
all the newspapers. II solicits in
commentator than any previous utter
ance Of President Wilson since his adj
vent at the White House.
Among the French statesmen who
express extremely favorable comment
on the Presidential reply are Gabrie'
HanotauX, Senator d'Estournelles de
Constant. Louis Barthou, Stephan
Pichon and Georges Clemenceau, who
all agree that the Presidents abso-
lutely impartial neutrality and his
iudicious restraint in declining to be
drawn into an expression of any con-
troversial opinion are in accordance
with the best interests not only of the
United States but also of the bellig
erent nations themselves.
Leading journalists, such as Maurice
Barres. Of "L'Echo de Paris; Alfred
Capus. of ale Figaro; Arthur Meyer,
of 'Le Gaulois": Abel Hermant. of lie
Journal; Georges Montorgueil, OF
"L'Eclair," and Henri Bidou, of LES
Debats," who are less reticent. see lit
President Wilson's reply not only the
wise impartiality of a statesman. but
a. latent. dry American humor and
irony, particularly so in the phrase IN
which the President, speaking "as
friend to friend" informs the Kaiser
that whoever unclaimed this war must
suffer the consequences, and the full
responsibility will fall upon the guilty.
In short, the reply is regarded here
as masterful, tactful and diplomatic
message.
Advices received here from Vienna,
via Venice, state that the chief Aus
trian military organ, the "Relchs-
nest" SAYS that President Wilson's
reply to the German Emperor's tele-
gram shows the absolute correctness

food supplies for the needy of Brussels

lister, thus guaranteeing the consign-
ments would not be turned over FOR

trail powers-ltaly, of course, by the
Triple Alliance and Rumania by a mili-
tary convention with Austria. Both,
too, are hampered by various considera-
tons which, although little doubt is
felt as 20 the course they will finally
take, have hitherto frustrated the pop
ular desire for an immediate choice.
The Official denial of a picturesque
version of a session of the Rumanian
Crown Council held at the outbreak
of the war, at which heated passages
were represented TO have taken place
between the late King and his minis
tiers in consequence Of the Kings de-
mand that Rumania should mobilize
against Russia, does not dispel the be-
lief that the story accurately repre-
sents the attitude Of the principal per
sonaees Of the nation.
1t was only natural that the King, as
a Hohenzollern, should have been most
unwilling to make war on Germany.
II is believed that, while realizing the
absolute impossibility of taking the
field on the side of Germany and Aus
tria in the face of an overwhelming
popular feeling. the King used all his
influence to provide for the main
tenance of a strict neutrality.
The attitude Of other prominent
members Of the royal family, IN spite
of vigorous affirmations from Berlin, Is
believ, to be less rigidly pro-German.
II is understood that the King was
supported by Premier Bratiano and ex-
Premiers Marghiloman and Carp, but
the majority Of the statesmen OF all
parties is in accord with public opinion,
favoring intervention on behalf OF the
Triple Entente.
An inspired Rome correspondent OF
ia Stampa" to-day resumes the dis
cussion of the relations of the Balkan
States and the possibility of the forma-
ton of a new Balkan league. lie points
ont that the attitude OF Turkey-es-
pecally since the appearance OF the
German cruisers Goeben and Breslau IN
the Black Sea-is intended as warn
ing to Rumania.
During the recent conversations at
Constantinople between the German
Ambassador and the Rumanian Minis
fer the former declared that N case
of action by Rumania against austria
Germany would support her ally. The
influence of Germany in Constantlnople
makes Rumania alive to the necessity
of completely clearing up the SITUATION
and securing the rear.
Also. it is difficult TO" Rumanla to
move until she is treasured as to
the attitude of Bulgaria with regard TO
the possibility of an agreement with
Servia. Bulgaria and Rumania: La

ouiries in diplomatic circles, is inclined
70 take an optimistic view.
