COTTON growers

Washington, D. c., aug. 7.--An ad-
dress to cotton growers was issued
late last night by the committee of
congressman who have undertaken to
alleviate threatening results to the
American cotton industry from the
European war. The circular is call
culated to allay apprehension among
Southern farmers.
I'VE are satisfied" said Senator
Hoke Smith this morning, that the
emergency currency bill passed by
congress this week will take care Of
any financial demands for the cotton
crop. Our statement also will assure
the cotton growers that when the crop
is ready for movement in thirty days,
ample transportation facilities will be
afforded Our committee is confident
of that.
I'VE also have reports from Ameri-
can consuls abroad that many of the
cotton mills are in operation and we
have information to assure us that our
cotton trade with Great Britain AMI
the Orient will not be interferred with
at ALL
Our address has an optomistic tone
OF course, it does not say that thinas
viii be just as good as if there had
been no war, but our investigation
thus far shows that prospects arc
more favorable than had been antic.

HOLD TO COTTON
IS ADVICE GIVEN
To The FARMERS
CONDITION WILL GET BETTER
Statement Issued By Agri-
cultural Bureau

Washington, D. c., Aug. keep
calm; use the nations great credit
and business staunchness to the full
est extent; withhold cotton from the
market" That was the advice of the
department of agriculture today to
farming interests as means of re-
lieving threatened crop congestion on
account of the European war.
Cotton is the most important fac
tor in the situation" said Charles j.
Brand, in charge of the office of mar
kets in statement.
Cotton is the international crop,
and the only crop that goes into the
industries, and is used only in manu-
factured state. The continental Sit
uation is bad, so far as cotton is con-
cerned; the greatest continental CEN
ters are in Alsace-Lorraine, and the
Immediately surrounding section.
England, no doubt, is able to or
ganize her cotton spinning in a very
short time. While there will be re-
striction of the English market for
cotton, there is no occasion for the
conclusion that seems to bave entered
some minds that there viii be no mar
ket for the crop.
THE consumption of American
mills will be greatly increased if the
war goes on, thus reducing the sur
plus that will have to be cared for.
The war will furnish an opportunity
for American manufacturers to de-
velop South American markets.
Farmers able to do so, owe it to
the well being of the South to with
hold their cotton from the market.
Bankers must for the moment, mix
patriotism with their business and as
sist both farm owners and tenant
farmers to hold their cotton until the
situation has had an opportunity to
clear"

Carbajal have failed to agree on
transferring power in Mexico and

bajal delegates an opportunity to be
heard, but the ENJOYS already had

ment says Carranza did not accord ths
delegates "even scant courtesy"
When the ENJOYS presented their sug-
gestions, the Carranza representa-

the conference at an end
Chagrin of administration officials
at that course was apparent, and 1t
was predicted the United States not
only would keep its military forces at
Vera Cruz Indefinitely, but would coz
slider further the question of recogni-
tion and moral support from the con-

Persistent reports of an important en-

official announcement in parliament
that stories Of fighting and losses,
other than those of the British cruiser
Amphion and the German mine layer
Koenigen Louise, both sunk, were un-
founded.
News from the German side was
extremely meagre, owing to the in

repulse of the German forces before
the Belgian city of Liege Belgian

ance of what is called ian out-of-

and girlish and her eyes, until recent

known as a beautiful woman.
Mrs Wilson's indoor life had been
devoted to books and artistic pursuits.
Her paintings have taken prizes in
competition. Her social obligations
forced her to omit some of her accus-

after she became mistress of the White
House, but as the first lady of the

vice and material help, wherever a
good cause might be served.
Her domestic life is described as
having been attractive. She had a
knowledge of the domestic arts, and
was good cook. 1t is related of her
that she liked to prepare dishes, or
have them prepared under her person
al supervision, for the president and
that she always made it a point to
personally prepare for him the orange

English merchant ships will resume
their transportation of our crops. II
Germany is successful, her ships will
carry the grain. England, of course,
is cur biggest customer. She already
is insuring merchant ships up to so
per cent of their value, and I think
we may look to similar steps in that
direction by other nations.
Another thing that will help will
be the bill now before congress,
amending our shipping laws. The
United Fruit company and the United
States Steel corporation have been
considering some time changing their
register so as to fly the American flag.
Technical restrictions which prevented
will not be emoved. But even if there
are not enough American ships, Eu-

others.
