WANTS To
BUY COTTON
a M < r &c AN PRODUCT
BRINGS 1866 AT BRAMEN
ON ACCOUNT SCARCITY

Washington, Dec. l9.-lWillingness
and ability of the United States to
protect cotton shipments on the seas
is all that must be determined to re-
store at least two thirds CT the ex-
port business with Germany is the
opinion expressed by German spin
ner1 Writing in answer to inquiries
Of Senator Smith of South Carolina
as to cotton trade conditions in Ger
many, Addix & Cordes of Bremen said
in letter laid before the Senate to-
day:
THE question Of cotton imports to
this country remains absolutely with
the American government and wheth-
er this is strong enough or willing to
peote,t the interests or property of
american citizens crossing the ocean
under American or other neutral col
ors from English capture
Senator Smith wrote to cotton spin
ners in many European countries, In
Germany the supply of American GOT
ton has been reduced nearly tive
thirds, theletter stated. although men
money and orders are available to
keep the mills at full time. Con
will be at least two-thirds
Of normal, or 100000 bales annual
", in the opinion of German ~
ners, if cotton can be brought to taera.
Banks have excessive credits and |
loan funds for cotton i'm
Dortation at 1-2 per cent, it is ad
led.
Spot cotton has risen to 19e5e a
pound at Bremen because of the
shortage, it was declared about 49
percent of the mills are working full
ime, the letter adds, and in gener-
i business is better than before the
var.
AS to the question of transporta-
Ion, the letter says;
'We do not doubt that in the event
if larger cotton shipments to certain
,orts, England, under some pretext,
hose Of the smaller European nations
We would prefer that shipments be
lade in American boats.
Writing from Moscow, a Russian
pinner said the situation there was
OF so bright. Consumption of Am
rican cotton increased 100 per cen;
or lack of importations. the writer
eclared, and mills were working only
alf time. Funds are hard to obtain
nd the available supply of labor is
sduced 20 per cent, the letter stated

4 New Back for an Old One How
 it Can DS-Done in Alaska.

The back aches at times with a dull, indescribabIe feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the Joins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the hack if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Alaskan residents would do well to profit by the following example.
 John l. Conger, prop. printing shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St., Salem, Oregon, says: My back got weak and sore and my kidneys did not act as they should. At times l could hardly straighten. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and it took them only Q short time to rir me of kidney trouble. I public Iy endorsed them several years ago avd am glad to do so again"

 SHIPMENTS TO EXPOSITION

San Franeisoo, Sept. 9-The traf- fic department of the Panama Paci- Hc International exposition has re- ceived word from eastern freight forwarding agents that the interruD- tion of trans-Atlantic travel caus- ed by the European war will not interfere with the shipments from Holland of the hundreds of thous- ands of bulbs for the exposition gardens. Orders for the bulbs in great quantities were placed with Dutch nurserymen by the lanscape department of the exposition. As the tulips, iris, and other flowers included in the order will form an essential part of the landscape de- coratiOn considerable apprehen- sion was felt over the possibility that Holland growers would be Un- able to export the bulbs. The ship ment will be the largest of the kind ever received in this country.
 The traffic department of the ex- position has also received word that great quantity of English plants, flowers and shrubs from Liverpool will shortly be shipped to the exposition.
