COTTON |SEX-
EMPT AS WAR
CONTRAbAND
ENGLAND ASSURES U. S. SHE
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH
SHIPMENTS MADE TO ANY
PORT IN NEUTRAL SHIPS.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Sir Edward
Grey, British minister of foreign af-
fairs, has assured the United States
through Ambassador Page at Lon.
don, that England will not interfere
with American cotton shipments as
"contraband of war" This was an
nounced today at the state depart
ment
Ambassador Page also reported
that the British ship Camperdoon,
laden with American cotton and pro-
ducts, detained at Stornoway, Scot
land. was not held because of her
manifest, but on account of a dis
agreement between her owners and
the charter party.
This attitude of the British gov
ernment will permit the safe move
ment of American cotton to any
point, including Germany, where a
market may be found Moreover,
Sir Edward Grey's statement is con-
strued in some quarters as meaning
there is to be no interference with
any non -contraband cargoes from a
neutral country carried in neutral
ships, even when consigned directly
to a belligerent.
The British statement as to cotton
forestalled action by the state de-
partment upon a request made yes
terday by senators from southern
states that the belligerent countries
be asked to give assurances that
shipments of cotton from the Uni
ted States to neutral or belligerent
countries would not be seized or de-
tanned.
Cotton never has been listed as
either absolute or conditional con-
traband, but some cargoes have been
detained and certain marine insur-
ance companies have refused to issue
cotton policies.
Ambassador Issues Statement.
Sir Edward Grey cabled the Brit
ish embassy tonight confirming the
assurances given Ambassador Page
On receipt of the message, the am
bassador, Sir Cecil Spring is
sued this statement:
"The assurance may be given that
cotton is not on the list of contra
band and will not be seized. 1t is
on the free list and will remain
there"
In a supplementary statement the
embassy again pointed out that car
goes, even of contraband, are being
allowed to proceed, where it is es-
tablished they actually are destined
to neutral countries. The statement
said:
although, so far, cargoes of con-
traband have been detained in order
to make sure they are really intend
ed for neutral countries, and though
some cargoes have been retained,
such as copper, destined for Krupp's
the British government has not yet
taken single cargo without paying
for it, and all cargoes which were
really destined for neutral coun-
tries have been allowed to proceed
to their destinations

BANNER COMPOSED
DURING WAR 1912
Written by American Soldier, Prls-
oner on a British Ship, at
Baltimore, Nd.

The Star Spangled Banner the
centennial OF which we celebrate to-
day, was composed by an American
soldier who had been takon a pris-
oner during the war of 1872 be-
tween Great Britain aud the United
States. The soldier was prisoner on
a British ship in Chesapeake Bay ut
Baltimore, Md. The British ships
lad been shelling the town and Fort
MeHenry and at nightfall the pria.
oner was in doubt as to whether
the fort had withstood the attack.
In the early dawn he watched the
fort from the ship and saw the
Stars and Stripes 30 up which filled
him with such spirit of patriotism
that he composed the Star Spangled
Banner.
Today the centennial is commemo-
rated and at Baltimore they arc
celebrating with an elaborate pro-
gram. The program has been on
for a week and ends today.

Sept 13.--News of the German re-
treat, despite every prceaution, has
passed through Switzerland to the
north and caused profound depres-

According to a dispatch received
here, people have gathered in the
streets in various German towns
shouting Tell us the truth. Give
us the news"
The newspaper offices at Munich
have been closed as disorders are
feared.
1t is also reported that news of the
steady retirement of the Germans in
France has trickled into Berlin and
benumbed the people.
Along the Swiss-German frontier,
the full extent of the German re-
treat is known. People are inquir-
ing, "If the French have beaten us,
what will the Russians do?"

desire of the captain and the other
officers that the members become
as proficient as possible before the

Nearly Half Thousand Members Of

nual Meeting,
DR.. J. J. RENDLEMAE
ELECTED PRESIDENT
Will Meet Next Year in Cairo at
the eBautiful Residence of DR..
and Mrs. Rendleman.

. DR.. j. J. Rendleman was elected
president and Cairo was selected as
the next meeting place of the Seven
teenth Annual Reunion of the great
Rendleman family, which numbers
nearly 750 members, at the reunion
held yesterday at Anna. Ill. whore
nearly 500 members of this well
Southern Illinois family held their
sixteenth annual reunion.
The attendance is so large at
these reunions, that it takes a large
space to comfortably accommodate
The family, and the affair is always
leld out of doors. The meeting in
Cairo will be held In the beautiful
grounds of the Rcndleman residence,
and it is safe to say that the meet
ing here will be one of the best and
most interesting the big family has
yet held. This city can be reached
more easily by the members than
any other place that could have been
selected. DR. and Mrs. Rendleman
cordially invited the family to come
and the members gladly and readily
voted to accept the invitation.
The meeting at Anna was held
in the fair grounds. It was a big
basket picnic. Many speeches were
made and the mingling of this, the
largest family in Southern Illinois
was beautiful sight to behold.
Willis RendIeman of Mokanda, as
president had charge of the program
at Anna. He is the retiring presi-
dent. The new vice president is
II. w. Rendleman OF Alto Pass and
Ford s. Rendleman also of Alto Pass
is secretary.
In 1916, two years before the ad-
mission of Illinois into the union.
five Rendleman brothers settled in
Southern Illinois, coming here from
Rendleman, North Carolina, where
the original family lived. BY the
these FIVE brothers the name of
! Rendleman in Southern Illinois has
heen increased to such an extent
that it Is doubtful If there is an in
fabitant of thiYpar of the country
who does not know of one or more
members of the family.

frontier or Lorraine.

Gen. Joffre, the French comman-
der-in-chief, pictures the retreat as
hurried and disorderly with the Ger
mans abandoning prisoners, wounded
and supplies. Military authorities
in France consider the position of
the German armies critical, The
army which was south of the Ar
gonne forest can hardly retreat east
ward, owing to the danger of the
strongly held French fortress of
Verdun, while the mountainous,
wooded character of the Argonne
district renders retreat due north
impracticable.
In southern Alsace. 10000 men
are reported to be engaged. An
other dispatch from Brussels says the
French artillery and cavalry have
annihilated the squadrons of German
cavalry in that neighborhood In
