SMALLER ACREAGE BY AT LEAST

LIEVED THE CROP WILL CON-
MAND FAIR PRICE.

Oklahoma City, Sept 1.-THE
state wide cotton meeting held in
Oklahoma City in compliance with
the call of Governor Lee Cruce de
veloped the following facts with ref
erence to the best manner Of hand
ling the present situation:
More good can come from the
buy -aIbale" movement, if consist.
emily pushed, than from any other
source. 1t is believed that this move
ment if persistently worked over the
country will take at least 1000, 900
bales off the market and that very
little of it will get back on the mar
ket until the price reaches around Y
cents. The effect the purchase of
even one million bales at 10 cents
will have on the markets of the
world, and especially on the specu-
lator and spinner, is believed by
many to be very nearly sufficient to
restore the market
The adoption by the meeting of a
standard form of warehouse receipt
it is believed will 90 a long way to-
ward helping those willing to help,
either in the "buy-abale" movement
or in the storing of cotton. The
use of this receipt will afford to

of Oklahoma must work out their
own solution in each locality and
that no fixed plan will meet the
needs of the whole state. Many
merchants stated that they have
solved the problem in their own
section with their credit customers
by giving them credit on account for
each bale placed in the warehouse
and receipt pledged with them at 500
a bale, allowing the farmer $40 more
in future trade, the cotton to re,
main the farmers property on con,
dition that he shall sell when the
market reaches 10 cents a pound.
The following committees, selected
by congressional districts, were Sc.
lected by the convention to take
care of the "buy-a-bale" movement,
arranging for both the purchase,
storage and sale of the cotton, for
those willing to buy at 10 cents a
pound:

To Reduce Acreage.
1t is imperative that cotton acre
age for 1915 be reduced at least a
third. How to do this is a question.
Some say by a tax, other say that
the merchant and banker control it
largely and also that in some sec
tions it would be impossible, as that
is the only crop that can be raised.
A careful analysis would indicate
that general tax on all cotton will
be bitterly fought, but that tax
on all cotton in excess of a certain
number of bales per farmer would
be acceptable TO the farmers and
merchants alike Also that if the
acreage is to be reduced the mer-
chant and banker must cooperate
with the farmer, extending him cred
it or other crops in place of limit
ing his credit to the number of acres
planted in cotton.
With the assistance and value OF
the warehouse receipts the banker
should not be permitted on loans
of 800 or over TO charge more than
the legal 10 per cent on money ad-
vanced.
Congress should pass laws where
by the national banks may accept
cotton warehouse receipts as col
lateral and which they may re-dis-
count at the regional banks, up to
third of such banks average de
posits.

A Crime Against Civilized Opinion.

Civilized opinion everywhere Will snare inc III
d;gnat;on Of the British public at the lombard
rnent of undefended English coast towns by Ter
man cruisers AS is usual in such wanton at-
tacks. made without any discernbe military pur-
nose civilians are the only sufferers. Ihere may
be some military palliation for the bombardfnenV
Of Hartlepool. which was defended by fort. At
that point British soldiers were killed and
wounded in the trenches along the coast. But at
Scarborough and Whtby there was no defence
made. and the only victims of the German gunhre
were non-combatants, including women and chill
dren.
Germany may on technicalities escape some
measure Of responsibility for conducting warfare
in this barbarous fashion Fighting at sea mas
never been as closely restricted by humanitarian
rules as fighting on land. The opinion of the
world has long recognized the need of better
code for warfare at sea, and the second Hague
Conference, in 1907, sought to make good that
deficiency in part by submitting an international
treaty limiting the right of warships to lombard
undefended coast towns It's provision gave sucn
towns the benefit of much the same rules as must
be observed by armies on land when engaging IN
commandments. Article laid down this general
prohibition: 1.-The bombardment of undefended
ports, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings is
forbidden. A place cannot be bombarded solely
because automatic submarine contact mines are
anchored off the harbor." Exceptions were then
noted to the rule, none of which, however, existed
in the cases of Scarborough and Whitby.
Unfortunately the treaty contained the pro-
vision that it should mot apply except between
contracting powers, and then only if all the
belligerents are parties to the convention" Ger
many Great Britain, Austria-Hungary and Rus
STA ratified it. But France, Turkey, Belgium,
Servia and Montenegro did not. So, technically,
any of the present beigerents is at liberty to
.gnore the treaty.
But the provisions of the convention of 1907
represent the enlightened sentiment of the world
They were formal enactment of code adopted
by the Institute of International Law at Venice
in 1896. Morally if not legally, they should be
binding on Great Britain as against Germany and
on Germany as against Great Britain. Germany
has, therefore, set a vicious and dangerous prece-
dent in disregardng them, just it did in disre-
gardng important provisions of the code for war
on land in its early operations in Belgium.
Such ruthlessness will come home to roost. In
wantonly killing non-combatants, women and
children among them, in undefended British coast
towns Germany cannot escape responsibility for
having taken the first step toward restoring bar
barities which the world had fondy hoped to see
eliminated from the practice of war.

MEXICAN ANARCHY
How Our Service to Mankind Has
Worked Out.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The executions of prominent
men which have taken place in the
City of Mexico in the last few days are
distressing to thoughtful Americans,
because to certain degree our country
is responsible therefor. Instead OF be-
ing "a service to mankind" our inter
ference in Mexican affairs has resulted
only in evil. Americans who were able
to care for their property under
Huerta's government had to hastily flee
the country, twenty young men in our
navy lost their lives, $50 Mexicans were
killed and Mexico is in a state of an
archy, with lawless bandits in charge
of affairs.
As has been stated in Congress, the
reason given for selling Vera Cruz was
pitifully inadequate. The situation
could not have been worse if we had
left Huerta alone and not aided Villa
and Carranza. Subsequent events seem
to justify the judgment expressed by
many at the time, and this country 5
interference in Mexican affairs was as
wrong. unwise and impolitic as it
seemed. JOHN 7. HUBBARD.

Women Under Arms.

In the Women's Volunteer Reserve, first fruit
of the Smelling of the east coast of England, there
appear under arms the first batch of women
soldiers of the war. What women are doing in
hospitals, in the Red Cross and in relief work
gives them huge share of military activity.
But this is the first formation, we believe, Of an
armed corps.
The movement grows out Of the fear of in
vasion, undoubtedly. The actual landing of Ger.
man troops in England may be long chance, but
the popular belief has gained ground of late that
some such endeavor will be made, with the land
ing of some troops alive as an entirely possible
result. What will follow has caused much har-
rowing speculation. Mr.. H. c. Wells prophesed
that English citizens and their wives would be-
have exactly as did the Belgians-they would
fight with shotguns and sticks and anything
handy. Such fighting by nOn-combatants would
lead to the reprisals which destroyed Louvain,
for instance, and the feeling has grown that a
military organization of many of the stay-at-
homes should take place.
The women who have now volunteered under
Lady Castlereagh will be trained and armed, and
while the plan will scarcely be to use them on
the firing line, they will constitute an auxiliary
force and an added line Of defence in case the
great invasion ever becomes reality.
