German Press AHronts
Intelligence OF the y. S.,
Says French Courier

NEW YORK, Oct 10 Saturday -
What is extraordinary and-let US say
the word-what is revolving in the at
titude of the Germans of the United
States regarding the Anglo-Saxon
origin Of the American people is the
arrogance with which they assert the
absolute superiority of the German
culture What is the Anglo Saxon cul-
ture, they say? Nothing! Only Ger
man culture exists.
1t seems natural that these Germans
who are enjoying the generous hospi-
tally of the United States might have
little consideration for their hosts;
but it would be mistake to think the
Germans capable of feeling such con-
sideration for the people of the coun-
try in which they live. The house
is ours, you can move out if you like, -
they would say. They do not dare yet
to speak such language, but tomorrow
maybe they will do it-while invoking
American liberty!
Germans Deny Our Culture.
Already they ares howing the same
haughtiness as the Germans be-
yond the Rhine. They consider them
selves as belonging to a superior race
and regard Americans as of necessary
inferiority.
Lately in a German newspaper of
New York they explained why Amer
lean public opinion was not favorable
to the German cause. The reason is
very simple. Americans are lacking in
culture. They attempted to understond
the complicated problems of European
politics, but their intelligence was not
enough for such a task. They did not
understand and have accepted the
ready-made opinion sent from Paris
and London. That's all!
Opinions Made in London.
But why are Americans unable to
understand that the Germans compre-
bend so we'll? The Germans will tell
US: Americans are too superficial.
They are afraid of any assiduous intel
lectual work, chiefly when that work
is tiresome, and they take the word O.
order in London to save any mental
effort.
1t is this superficial spirit, they said
in the German newspapers columns
which prevented the American people
in spite of their good will, from under
standing the difference between Aus
tria-Hungary and Servia the fundamen
tai cause of the war, the apparently
aggressive attitude of Germanys in
vasion of Belgium.
Oh, unlucky, superficial Americans!
Why don't you take lessons in political
science from the German writer's of
the said German Gazette? They would
have opened your eyes to German
light. They would have justified the
attempt made by Austria to Cypress
little Servia, the inexcusiable attack
of Germany on neutral Belgium, the
aggressive policy of autocratic Ger
many, the danger which menaces the
peace of the world, thanks to Prussian
militarism.
Sees German Reprisal
Yes, uncultured Americans, they
would have justified all that, and at
the same time they would have shown
to you narrow-mfaded people how far
German culture is superior to yours in
matters of duplicity imprudent asser-
tons, and bold lies. But you preferred

At a meeting Of Americas mer-
chants, bankers, farmers and ware
housemen, held this morning, resolu-
items were adopted unanimously ear
nestly requesting Gov. Slaton to con-
vene the legislature in special session
without delay for the purpose of
passing measures looking to the re-
striction Of the cotton acreage in Geor-
gia next year.
The situation, as regards the price
OF c5tton, is growing more daily, and
as there is no hope to be expected of
national remedial legislation it is felt
that the subject is up to each state
of the South for settlement.
Representatives Wheatley and Shep-
pard were in attendance upon the
meeting this morning and found the
proposition to convene the legislature
in special session. Besides the resolu-
ton adopted to this effect, many prom
inent residents of Sumter wired Gov.
Slaton individually, urging such ac-
ton. Similar messages, it is stated,
were sent Gov. Slaton from Dawson,
Albany and other south Georgia towns.
Americas attorneys expressed the
opinion today, in the meeting thus held
that a specific tax for road purposes
could legally be levied, the same to
be imposed upon cotton acreage above
ten acres to the pillow or any other
fixed acreage.

some dry roughage. On such a ration
steers will pass through the winter in
exceedingly good condition and even
gain something in live weight.
But in addition to its feeding value
the fertilizing value of cottonseed meal
is very high-so high indeed that often
the fertilizing constituents in the
meal are alone worth as much as or
more than it now costs. When it is
remembered that from so to 80 pc"
cent of this fertilizing value remains
in the manure the opportunities for
profit that it's use offers become even
more obvious. To put the case in an
other way: When one includes in his
calculations the enrichment of the land
he finds that feeding cottonseed meal
to cattle costs him only from 10 to 20
per cent. of the market price of the
meal
In view of these facts, specialists
in the Department recommend cattle
feeders in all parts of the country to
secure prices on cottonseed by-pro-
ducts and to take advantage of the
cheap foods that they provide. No 9TH
er form of concentrated feed, the spec
ialists say, will prove as profitable as
cottonseed meal this year. In the
South the feeders have an opportunity
to get these by-products at lover prize
es than at any other time during the
last ten years. Combined with farm
grown feeds such as corn silage, they
should be able to secure gains very
cheaply; and with the present high
prices for finished cattle, make good
profits. Incidentlly it may be said
that if such a movement tends to
strengthen and steady the market for
.cottonseed by-products, this will in it
self be of considerable assistance to
cotton growers in the South.

PRICE DECLINES;
NOMINAL DEMAND
MIDDLING GRADE
RECEIPTS FAIR IN AMERICuS'
SEVEN CENTS Is ABOUT HIGH
LEVEL FIGURES.

In the Americas market the demand
for cotton today is nominal only, with
seven cents as about the topmost price
for anv bales of exceeding fneness
sold. There is plenty of cotton avail
able with which to supply any demand,
but buyers seem stocked up" and not
esidencing any desire to make purch-
asses. Receipts at the warehouses to-
day we're fully up to the Saturday av-
erage. But for the fact that Americas
merchants are taking cotton, trade
would have been rather dull.
While the logical plan is TO reduce
offerings as the market weakens, there
are always some who adopt the illog-
zeal course Of becoming more anxious
..o sell. OF course that only makes the
narAer all the ewaker.
It's evident that the prospective sup
ply this year IS many millions of bales
larger than required for consumption.
So much 50 that the definite magnitude
Of the crop has become a question Ct
only secondary consideration.
The aII-important question is how
large a portion of the crop is going to
e withdrawn entirely from circulation.
Various plans and schemes for holding
cotton have put a new face on the sit
uation. 1t has been the theory that 80
to SO 1-3 per cent of the crop should
be held of the market, but from pres
ent indications it seems that the move
ment cuts in much more deeply.

half the crop is being held Farmers

The relations between England and

Both Sides of the Conflict
Eneland is at Wor For
Supremacy in Business
Says Stdats-Zeitung
(From the staats-Zeitung.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O-The fighting
in Europe has assumed the character
of death grappel Whatever hopes
were held of an early solution of the
difficulty have been utterly blasted. 1t
is becoming each DAY more evident
that it is a war of determination, a
war OF existence, a struggle of ma
tional life or death. The prize of vic
tory is world power; the penalty of
defeat, national bankruptcy.
The struggle lies between Germany
and England. II is not matter of a
day or month, this competition for the
chief place in the council of nations,
but the roots lead back to the 40-year
clash fought first in the commercial
markets of the world, and finally on
the battlefield.
Had the English merchant and man
.ufacturer been able to maintain his
prestige and business against the
keen German competition, We would
not now be in the throes of world
war. We heard little about the peril
of militarism until the peril of bust
