DEMAND OF COTTON
SECRETARY McADOO INSTITUTES
MEASURES TO LEARN THE
ACTUAL NEEDS.
U. S. CONSULS ARE TO SERVE
American Representatives In Al!
Parts of the World to Aid In Max
ing the Estimate.

Washington-The worlds need fer
cotton at the present time and the e3-
timated demand for next year is to be
the subject of an investigation by
state department officials. The treas
ury department announced that Secre-
tary McAdoo had requested Secretary
Bryan to secure. all possible informa-
ton on this subject.
United States consuls have been
instructed to make careful investiga-
ton.
The reports from the consuls will
be compiled here each month and
probably will be made public for the
use of cotton producers. The treas
ury statement says:
Secretary McAdoo has requested
Secretary Bryan to make an inquiry,
through American consuls in all
parts of the world regarding the
actual demand for cotton at this time
and the calculated demand for 1915,
Accurate information regarding
cotton consumption will be valuable
as it will give an intelligent idea as
to the demand and will permit the
formation of correct judgment as to
the economic value of cotton. The
secretary of state and the secretary
of commerce are cooperating with
the secretary of the treasury to get
reliable information of this character
and the figures when received will
be published Reports by the con-
suls will be made beginning the first
of December and on the first of each
month following:
Gin prosecuting this inquiry, Sec
rotary Bryan has instructed all con-
suls by cable to make a careful in
vestigation and report, beginning the
first of December, and monthly there
after, of statistics relating to the
stocks of raw cotton and cotton
goods in mills and warehouses COM
pared with the same period last year;
the present rate Of cotton manu-
facture a month, together with the
number Of spindles engaged and the
number of persons employed; and in
formation showing the comparative
stocks of cotton goods mad compare
tive estimate of the purchases of cot
ton goods for delivery during 1915
The consuls in Egypt, India, China
and Russia have been instructed to
report the most reliable estimates of
the cotton yield for 1914"

ARMY OF 100000
PLANNED FOR US.
To Increase State Militia to
100000 Without Legislation
COULD MOBILIZE IN 60 DAYS
128,O43 Now in Militia, 93,016 In Rseu-
lar Army-No Intention, However,
to Add to Latter-Miqht Raise
100000 in Two Years.

hington-Militant members OF
Congress who have proclaimed their
intention to advocate the strengthen
ing of the armed forces of the United
States apparently have been proceed
ing on the theory that the Govern
ment has overlooked the matter.
There is very good reason to justify
the statement that the officials OF the
Government intrusted with the duty
of protecting the country from foreign
invasion, and to assume the offensive,
if necessary, have under consideration
plans that will obviate the necessity
for legislative undertakings in this
line, other than to facilitate the con-
summation of those of the Govern
ment.
The General Staff and War College
have been at work for more than
two months working out details of q
system that probably will be recon-
mended by the Secretary of War In
his annual report, and presumably
with the sanction of the President.
From what can be learned, however,
it is probable that any steps looking
to the better protection of the country
do not contemplate any increase in
the regular army, but will be more d.
rectly devoted to the enlargement OF
the militia forces of the States. The
nearest basis for this reorganization
reached by the experts contemplates
the creation of a volunteer reservist
force to bring the forty-eight State
militia forces to 100000 men who caa
be made ready for active militry duty
within three weeks.
The regular army at present con-
sists of 1872 officers and 88,444 en-.
listed men. The authorized fuk
strength of the regular land forces
on a war basis, is 4,728 officers ana
96,977 men.
TIL latest returns to the War De-
partment from the Adjutant Generals
of forty-eight States show the strength
of the State militia forces to aggre-
gaze 128,043 men.
1t is estimated by officials Of the
United States war Establishment that
the 100000 trained men contemplated
by the new plan of reorganization will
be adequate for ordinary emergencies.
Estimates of the number of citizens
who might be made available for mill
tary duty in vital circumstances range
from 100000 to 100000.
The dghink forces of the country
are distributed as follows:
In the United States proper, 33,915.
In the foreign possessions of the
United States, 20,863.
In the Philippines, 1912.
In the Hawaiian Islands, 6,832.
In the Panama Canal Zone, 1851.
In China, 900.
In Alaska, 431.
In Porto Rico, s583.

KEEP OUR COASTS
FREE FROM WAR
South America Suggests We Es-
tabIish Neutral Sea Zones
COAL SALES MAY BE CHECKED
Cooperation of United States Sought
by Argentina, Chilli, Peru and Uru-
quay in Effort to Protect Trade
Great Britain Reported Willing.

Washington. II The United States
Government has been asked by sever
al of the principal nations of South
America to cooperate with them in
negotiations with the belligerent pow
ers of Europe to bring about the ex-
clusion of all belligerent Warships from
the waters of the two Americas and
safeguard the trade of Pan-American
countries with one another.
Argentina, Chill, Peru and Uruguay
have laid their suggestions before the
Brazilian Government is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of taking Similar
step. Practically all the Central and
South American~ countries have been
circularized by some of the principal
nations, resulting in a series of diplo-
matte conferences in Washington and
the capitals of South America, which
are now in progress.
While the proposals are different in
character and scope, they all seek
the same end-the restoration of the
trade between North and South Ameri
ca, paralyzed by the European war.
The movement also has for it's object
the removal of possible causes of seri
Gus friction between the countries of
this hemisphere and the European
belligerents on questions of neutrality.
Already Chilli, Ecuador and Colon
bia have had serious difficulties with
the belligerents over the use of the
wireless and the coaling of foreign
warships, whose presence in the At
lantic and Pacific is growing obnoxious
to South American countries
None of the nations, which have
made suggestions, is committed to any
particular plan, but all seek the CO.
operation of the United States. The
impetus that will make any plan effec-
tive, it is recognized by the diplomats
of South America, rests with Presi-
dent Wilson,,

UNCLE SAM NEEDS MORE MEN
Navy Requires 24o Officers and 4,60o
Men,


Washington.-The need of 24O add
tional officers and about 1900 men to
equip American warships was explain
ed to the house naval affairs commit
tee by Rear Admiral Blue, chief OF
the navigation bureau of the navy de-
partment
Referring to the fact that the navy
department was still purchasing
photographic charts from the British
government, the admiral said the
United States was issuing more ana
more charts each year, and that ult1-
mately charting by the United States
would be as complete as that of any
other nation.
Rear Admiral Stanford, chief OF the
bureau of yards and docks, recon-
mended a 100000 estimate for
new drydock at Norfolk, Va. He also
urged the necessity of appropriations
for additional fuel oil storage tanks
at Norfolk and other stations. All
ships of the navy under construction
will use fuel oil and it is estimated
that this year 100000 gallons Will
be used.

French RepuIse Enemy's Attacks.

french nePuISS EnSnyS 'AtIdCkS.
Paris-The following official state
ment was issued by the French:
ga few details about what has oc-
Cured on the front from November
Fl to November q Inclusive:
''The general situation has not ma
terially changed. The enemy has
worn himself out in partial attacks
without result. Our counter-attacks
have inflicted on him heavy losses and
have brought us some gains.
From the sea to the Lys the enc
my's attacks have been intermittent
On the twenty-third, twenty-fourth
and the twenty-fifth the German ar
tillery in general has remained silent.
"0n the twenty-fourth and twenty
fifth we gained a foothold on the left
bank of the User, south of Dixmude.
In spite of the enemy's fire, our troops
held the ground without difficulty.
Further to the south a French
army corps advanced 200 meters all
along in front and has held it's ground.
The German shells sometimes do not
burst properly. Our infantry, in COM
parison with the infantry of the enc
my, are spirited. They captured on
the twenty-fifth before Festobert,
three machine guns, light Howitzer,
100 men and three officers.
ION the twenty-second our heavy
guns near Lebassee silenced the fire
from the German batteries. On the
twenty fourth in the same region the
result was the same: On the 25th
we destroyed two machine guns.

RUSSIANS SPLIT
THE GERMAN ARMY
GENERAL Won HINDENBURG'S
FORCES ARE ENGAGED IN
THREE DISTINCT BATTLES.
REPORT NOTHING DECISIVE
Great Numbers Of the Germans Are
Rushed to PoIand.-Tuetons Un-
derestimated Size Of Enemy.

London.-Another week of battle
between Russians and the German
Allies in Poland has passed without
news of decisive result. The British
official statement says there is moth
ing of Importance to report from Po-
land, while the Russian Government
rests on its warning against over
optimism.
The facts as CLEANED from CORE
spondents' dispatches, appear to be
that the semi-independent engage
ments are progressing between Thorn
on the north and Cracow on the south
in which both combatants have
achieved local successes, without a
distinct victory for either.
Some British military experts be-
lieve Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's
forces have been split into three
units, one of which is almost envel-
oped, while the Russians have driven
a wedge between the German army
and its Austrian ally in the region Of
Cracow. They declare the Germans
have consistently underestimated the
and have opposed them with body
composed almost wholly of second
line troops, but now are rushing heavy
reinforcements from the western line,
to avert a Polish Sedan. They ex-
press the opinion that the issue de-
ponds on whether these arrive in
time.
Berlin reports the failure of the
Russian attack on the Notifications
east Of Darkehmen, in East Prussia
with heavy losses, while unofficial
messages from Petrograd describe
an important Russian gain and the
capture of 10 miles of trenches north
east of LODI.
Advices from Holland report that
railway traffic, newspapers and posts
in the Brussels region are entirely
suspended it is presumed for the pur-
pose of suppressing news of move
ment of German troops to the east
ward
The only development of the day in
the western theater was the renewal
of the British bombardment of the
German base at Zeebrugge.
England was surprised at the an
nouncement that King George had
left on a visit to the British head
quarters in France, where he is GER
tain of an enthusiastic reception from
the soldiers.
This was the fortieth birthday an
niversary of Winston Spencer Church
ill, First Lord of the Admiralty, and
the papers, except a few antagonistic
to him, pay a tribute to his remark
able career. The SEVENTEEN birthday
anniversary of Queen Mother Alex
andra would be celebrated soon.
Dutch papers say the Germans have
imposed an indemnity of 100000
monthly on Belgium for the duration
of the war for the maintenance Of
the troops, and, in addition, $75,000,-
900 as a war levy for neutrality viola
tons.

talon. The ground lost and then
retaken was never more than
twenty-five yards.
Along the heights of the Meuse
and in the Vosges there is nothing
