Washington dispatch to Charlotte
Observer: Wise farmers Of the south
who accept the new conditions in this
country and make the best Of opportu-
mites afforded by the European war,
will profit beyond their expectations.
The indications now point to a long
war, and America must furnish GER
tain things that the warning nations
are bound to have. Already France
and England are calling on the United
States for horses and mules and great
quantities of foodstuffs for man and
beast The figures for September eX-
ports are tremendous. In 1913 (Sep-
tember), this country shipped to Eu-
rope 31S,92S bushels Of oats, receiving
$15OOO0: this year, she exported TO-
7SO,165 bushels at $6O00.000. Most OF
these oats went to France to feed
French war horses. The demand is
increasing. September, last year, the
United States shipped to foreign ma
tions 11,971,163 bushels Of wheat at
about $11, 100000 this year, for the
same month, the figures are 26,OOO,0OO
bushels at s29,250,OOO. The demand is
on the increase.

Col Roosevelt told Princeton stu
dents in an address, last Friday, that
he had seen the plans Of two empires
now involved in the European war to
capture great American seaports and
hold them for ransom. 1T is this
country's duty" said Col. Roosevelt,
ito put itself in such shape that it
will be able to defend it's rights if
they are invaded. l myself have seen
the plans Of at least two empires now
cisco and New York and hold them
for ransom that would cripple our
country and give funds to the enemy
for carrying on war" Continuing, the
colonel said: Il hope the time will
come when this country will provide
that every man may have practice in
craftsmanship and some military
training. 1t is also my hope that we
shall finally achieve international
status by which there shall be posse
comitatus, when we can combine to
coerce any recalcitrant power, but we
have seen the utter worthlessness Of
scraps of paper and other treaties that
may be swept aside like dust in a
windy street. A fight never was won
by parrying; you've got to hit and not
hit soft The American people owe it
to themselves to make their hands
safeguard their heads" Col. Roose-
welt, after his speech, declined to
amplify his statement regarding the
plans of European nations to capture
the Seaports of this country, which he
said he had seen.

Restoration Of many trade currents
and establishment of a substantial eX-
port balance by American commerce
in October, was indicated Saturday
night in statements issued by the
treasury department. says Washing
ton dispatch. Telegraphic reports
from cities which handle about 72 per
cent of the country's export trade,
showed that from October 5 to 81, in
elusive, a trade balance of more than
s33. .000,0 If figures from the re-
manning ports show the same proper
tions, the October gain over the bal
ance for September will amount to
more than s17,00O000. Part of the in
crease was ascribed to cotton ship
ments which had been almost sus-
pended by the European upheaval.
During the week ending October 2S,
1908 bales of cotton were exported.
On last Thursday alone 43,903 bales
were sent abroad Total exports from
the principal cities from October ; to
81. amounted to s139, 963,631. and i'm
ports S106, 341, ,261. The imports repre-
sented about 81 per cent of the total
for all the country and the exports 72
per cent. In September the exports
were worth s156,337,333, compared
with imports Of S140,0S9,611.
