PRESIDENT REC|TES INCIDENTS LEADING Up
TO PRESENT SITUATION AND ASKS APPROVAL
ASKS Congressional Approval TO Use the Armed Forces
OF the United States to Obtain Fullest Recognition
OF the Rights and Dignity of the United States

The incidents leading up to the
strained relations now existing be-

government in Mexico arc best review
cd In the address Of President Wilson
before the joint session Of the two
houses of congress. The president did
nc for any apAroDration Of money
at this time, nor for authority to call
out the National Guard.
There can be no thought of ag-
sression or OF selfish ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
declared the president to the sober
faced throng Of senator's and reprcsen-
natives which packed the hall Of the
house.
IhlS government can, I earnestly
nope, in no circumstances be forced
into war with the people OF Mexico. If
armed conflict should unhappily come
as the result Of his (Hucrtas) atti-
thde of personal resentment towards
this government, we should be fight
ing only Gen. Huerta and those who
adhere to him and give him support
tOr our object would be to restore to
the people Of the distracted republic
inc opportunity to set up again their

GERMAN NEWSPAPER
 PRAISES w. J. BRYAN

Following is Berlin cablegram to the New York Times:
 The Deutsche Tageszeitung pays a high tribute to Secretary of State Bry- an in long editorial commenting on the so-called paradox of "the notori- iously most materialistic nation in the world under the guidance of the two most notable idealists of the time Wilson and Bryan" It believes that the appointment of MT. Bryan to his present position promises closer Ger man.American relations.
 "Mr. Bryan" says the paper, "is a man of the highest nobility of mind and a democrat in the finest sense of the word. He is filled with the spirit of Washington, Bancroft and Lincoln, but lives in time of moral and eco, homie slavery under feudal lords and trust magnates. It will be one of. the most interesting studies of modern times to watch the contest of material. ism and idealism in the new world.."

 INDUSTRY HARD BLOW

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-There were approximately 143,4O0,O00 cotton spindles in the worlds industry in operation last year, 96,435,OOO of which belong to nations at war or mobilized.
 These spindles, most of which are idle, outside of a few countries, in- clude 6S per cent of the worlds equip. ment. They consumed 11,11S,O0O bales of cotton last year, fully two thirds of which was American. This does not include Japan and China, whose 7,O14,- 900 spindles take Indian cotton, to-. gether with about 25OOOO bales of American for the current season to July 31.

WAR CREATES NICE
 CROP OK QUESTIONS


 Seldom has world event evolved as many grounds for close debate up. on subjects as has the great war.
 Throughout the community at large it has flooded conversations and cor respondents columns with pro-Teuton and pro-Slav controversies as to guilt for hostlllties and merit of success. It has inspired Q one-sided debate, so far as noise goes, as to justification of the course of commodity prices.
 Within the precincts of finance 1t has set bankers to arguing hotly on several topics, chief of which are the issues as to how soon we may venture to reopen the exchanges and whether we should cling stubbornly to every ounce of gold we now have, or let relatively little of 1t loose on the score of both honor and advantage, In the wake of this major question have threshed aolng the disputes as to whether we could or should adopt such novel expedients as counting bank notes as bank reserves and in some ia shion putting pecuniary assistance from nation or State or banks to re- place the banished foundation of the raw cotton market.
 Now the catalogue is heightened by the administration dlsapproval, in the name of neutrality, of the tenta- tive suggestion of Q loan to France. One may construe this policy as wise and prudent, or as short sighted and unsound, according to point of view. The bankers, acting with continuing dislnterestedness and patriotic coop eration, agreed in advance 10 waive their individual prerogatives and to let Washington settle the matter as being one of public policy.
 Washington's attitude is entirely consistent with it's past professions. No other reply could have been ex- pected from the executioners of "dol- lar diplomacy" Disencountenancing a loan, or credit, to a .belligerent, Is also in keeping with the general ideal Ism which has sought to put many con cerns of statesmanship on e new altl. tude of morality and with the Admin istration's professed devotion to peace. The proffer of mediation is now com plemented by the refusal of gold or credit, as means for hastening peace; and the latter may be the more prac- tical or effective.
 It further happens-as pure coinci- dence only-that idealism here com ports very we'll with politics. Apart from the fact that it might be embar. rassing to us financially should France lead a begging procession in which each of the belligerents would come seeking gold credits of many mil. lions, perhaps to a total beyond our marginal ability to spare gold, there is the consideration that such loans would set by the ears all our native born or forelgn-born partisans of eith- CT side. And as the nations of the Entente would probably come first the pro-German clamor would for a while be much intensified. = Boston News Bureau.
