Cable Company Protests.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Conner cial Cable Company officially an nounces late today that it would con test as "a form of unreasonable search" the placing of eensors in its offices by the government.
 "The submarine cable differs in d very important way from wireless telegraphy," read a statement issued by George Clapperton, the company's vice president. "The wireless com munication with a warship at sea is the same as the warship cutting a submarine cable and taking the end on board.
 The sending of cablegrams may be considered in the same light as traffic in supplies or munitions of war. Our citizens are not prohibited from furnishing belligerents with supplies. The subject of neutrais even may supply belligerents with arms and ammunition without in- fringing the neutral status of the state.
 "A cahlegram is in many respects similar to letter and it certainly is the duty of any neutral govern ment to censor letters to belliger- ent country The secrecy of tele- grams is preserved in many states by statutes which make it criminal offense to divulge their contents.
 During the Spanish-American war while the United States exer- cised rigid censorship the nations who are now beligerents did not i'm pose any restrictions on messages 10 or from the United State to ar from Spain. The Commercial Ca.le Company would feei obliged to con test the placing of ceusors in it's of fees as form of unreasonable search"

Austria outlines Position.

London. Aug. 14.-6:50 p.m-The Exchange Telegraph Company's cor respondent sends aa outline of an of. ficial communication from the Vienna government to Rome notifying the Italian government of Great Brtain's declaration of war on Austria. The Austrian note says
 "Austria's war against Servia. an
 independent state for cause which did not affect international politics, cannot be considered as the cause for the present European war" i Great Britain's note 10 Austria, the statement continues, fails to point out the fact that Austria was obleed to declare war against Russia because the iatters mobilization threatened Austria. It is denied that Austria sent troops to the frontier fact. the statement says, which France al. ready knew from the Austrian ann hassador.
 . "It is evident" tho note concludes, "that Great Britains alleged reason for declaring war not only are arbi- trary alterations of facts, but deltb- crate lies. England has thus lightly broken her traditional friendship with Austria in order to support France. but nevertheless she will not find Aus. tria unprepared."

Barclay, charge d'afiaires of tne British embassy, today presented a memoranda regarding the mining of the North sea to Secretary Bryan with the assurance that the British admiralty wound do all in it's power to assist the shipping of friendly na- tions to avoid the explosives reported to have been laid there by the Ger mans.
 The cable statement of the British government follows:
 German action and the measures 1t may entail are a source of grave danger to shipping, British admiralty will, however, from time to time, aal subject to naval exigencies, try to indicate certain routes and channels for trade to pass to the Scheldt, and they do not wish in any degree to keep trade away from the English channel.
 Difficulties in the way of a guar antee for the Rhine, which is nearer 10 the center of the war, are at pres ent insuperable."

FOR
 COTTON PRICES
SOUTHERN COTTON CONGRESS ASKS THE GOVERNMENT AND
 STATES TO LEND AID.
Ask Cooperation to Enable Growers to Secure Fair Price for Their 1914 Cotton Crop.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The South ern Cotton Congress, after endorsing various plans for relief in the cotton market crisis resulting from the Eu- ropean war, today authorized com mittees to cooperate with federal and state authorities in their efforts to enable planters to secure a tlir price for the present crop.
 After endorsing the work so far done by southern representatives in congress in the matter of furnishing transportation for the export trade and providing currency to finance the crop, the congress endorsed a bill introduced in the house by Rep resentatiye Wingo of Arkansas, lu. thorizing the issuance of federal re. serve notes on cotton.
 Later the report from the resolu- tions committee was adopted outllu. ing plan to meet the entire situa. ton. This provided for the appoint ment of committee of five members to cooperate with congress. the treasury department and the federal reserve board to seek means of Financing and marketing the crop. without unnecessary loss to the farmer"
 The report recommended that all growers hold cotton of the present crop for the price of F l-2 cents a pound. based on midding cotton.
 It urged the federal reserve board and the secretary of the treasury to place S300,00g000 in the banks of the south on the basis of the cotton pro- duced i'll each state. 1t then propose1 that every farmer should have the right to go to his bank and secure a loan on notes maturing in six months. securing by his cotton on one-half of the crop he raised. to so per cent of the value of the cotton based on the average price for the last five years. These notes, the re. port recommended. should be made rediscountable in the fedora! reserve banks.
 As originally presented the report recommended that the notes contain a stipulation that the farmer would raise only half of a normal crop in 1915 and if the war was stid in progress on April 1, should raise only onequarter of his crop, thus holding down the 1915 production to prevent d glut caused by carrying over this years surplus.
 A vigorous discussion resulted in striking out this provision and rec. commended only that the farmer be urged to cut down his crop without stipulation in the proposed notes.
 The report recommended that to- baoco and other crops should le handled in the same way, in the dis. eretion of the reserve board.

 PROPOSED FRENCH LOAN.
New York Bankers Are Told That President and Secretary Bryan Would Not Favor Such Deal.

Washington, Aug. li.-It became known today that President Wilson and Secretary Bryan opposed the floating of any loans in the United States for the benefit of any belhg- erent European powers.
 Both the president and Mir Bryan today studied the situation arising out of the inquiry of J. P. Morgan X GO. as to what would be the admin. lstrations attitude in case certain banking interests which had aD- preached them should try to float loan for the French government.
 Mf' Bryan wound not discuss the subject. in view of the intimation m statement issued by Morgan < 70. that the state department might ueslre to refrain from any expression ot opinion so as not to commit the government to any policy, the secre. tary was asked if his reticenee could De interpreted as meaning that moth ing more would be said about it by the department
 " cannot say anything about ths iulure' he answered.
 Persons close to the adminstra. ton said there probably would be no expression on the subject because cf oeSife not to offend even by infer ence the French government, men uoheu as a prospective borrower. It was nevertheless understood that the president and Secretary Bryan dis approved the idea of loaning money m any form to any of the belliger- ents.
 The president consulted various authorities on the subject, among tHem Paul Reinsch, American minis ter to China, and Oscar s. Straus, ioriner secretary of commerce and laDor' both of whom made speeches "' meeting here in 1908 of the American Society of international la"' It was said later that the presi- ueht agreed with the ideas advanced ny Messrs. Reinsch and Straus. At u'at time MT. Straus said
 Every one knows that the money to belligerents signifies tho BlFlhs to them of means for securing war instruments. Money is the most electlVe war instrument. It is slnl- ply sophistcation to hold that neutral cannot loan money to ber lserent without performing an ''li- neutral act, and yet permit the su3 lects ot neutral governments to ao 'nlS' International authorities are asreed on such a discrimination
 NIT. Reinsch expressed this view
 NO argument is required to snow mat war ioans constitute mos. potent asset to belligerent power
