Outlook For Cotton Good.

VUllOVA VI VUllUll VVVUs
The large cotton and dry goods
merchants of the United States
are sending out letters to their
customers through the South,
giving the prospects for the cot
ton market.
They hold that England must
use as much cotton as usual to
keep the cotton mills busy. The
mill hands are mostly women and
children, and the war will not
interfere with the factories to
any great extent. France and
other allies of England will also
use American cotton as the Eng
lish fleet can protect their COM
merce on the Atlantic. Germany
uses only 9 per cent of the sup
ply of cotton or Is per cent of
the export cotton of the United
States. AS Germany can not get
cotton this rs per cent will have
to be disposed of elsewhere.
Japan has placed orders for a
large amount. The manufactures
of America now have men in
South America to capture that
market. which Germany has
been supplying heretofore. They
claim our factories, can use two
million bales more than they
have been using. and will use
that amount, ifthey supply those
countries which Germany has
been supplying. They also point
to the act of the government in
taking steps to purchase ships
to carry commerce to foreign
countries and in declaring that
cotton, tobacco and other staple
crops properly secured are basis
for bank credit.
A nation wide movement
among manufactures. merchants
and bankers encouraged by the
government is rapidly taking
form to finance the crops and
carry over the surplus cotton that
our own mills and foreign coun-
tries can not use.
The prospects now are good
for a fair price for the present
crop, and the future for Ameri.
can factories and merchant
marine is sure to be great. The
great fleet of American ships
lost to us by the civil war we
will probably win back during
this great European war. and
markets OfSouth America which
we should have controlled we
will without doubt hold in
future.

that the German forces abandoned

THE authorities of East Prussia
have reported that the commandment OF
Marienberg has ordered the inhabitants
to evacuate the country. while at Elbing
the sluices were opened with the object
of flooding the country to prevent the

of despair and indicate pretty certainly
that Germany has no more trained

HARD HIT BY WAR.
Tis.up Of Foreign Ships ThreWs $500
Out Of Employment.

9s
Philadelphia, Aux. 20-Probably no
class Of men have felt the effects Of the
European war more than the long
shoremen employed by the hour or day
to discharge or load foreign shipping.
Work in this line has been dull for
three weeks, and as many Of these men
have families and are fitted for no 9th
er occupation. they soon will face want.
In Philadelphia alone there are near
5000 longshoremen employed by the
stevedoring firms and steamship lines.
AS only those employed by the coast
wise steamship companies will have
work during the present crisis. 1t is
estimated that fully $500 at this port
are idle.
The longshoremen are not the only
ones effected by the war. Many driv-
ers for independent truckers and those
employed by large importing houses
will be thrown out of work. The gem
eral tie-up of the foreign fleet also
will affect the custom house brokers,
whose business has been seriously at
fected by the war. Unless there is a
decided change for the better within
the next few weeks, large number of
men and boys employed by the vari-
Gus firms doing business with the Gus
tom house will be laid off.
In the tieing up of the foreign fleet
at this port an interesting situation
has developed. All vessels flying for
eisn flags sign their crews abroad. The
articles stipulate that the men must be
returned to the port at which they
signed in the event OF the company
not needing their services any longer.
This makes it mandatory upon the
steamship companies to feed their Off
GERS and men and 10 continue paying
them wages while their vessels are tied
up here. unless they can return them
to the ports or countries where the ar
ticies We're signed As there is very
little likelihood of their being able TO
do this, it is possible that the num-
Der of officers and men who viii he
kent here will be FULLY on0.

comes TO be told it will be found that
the horror was not quite SO great For
all the accounts are from people fleeing
for their lives Among these people,
however, were four civic dignitaries
who were in the city during the night
and who We're actually in the hands of

patch, for 1t is more likely to be accur-
ate and sober.

They are inclined to think it was
German rage at the defeat at Malines
which set afiame the barbarian pas

Allen, who with Staff Sergeant Spicer has been sleeping in a tent on the property for the past two weeks, was awak- 'ened by the blaze in the shipping de- partment of the building and started to investigate. He was ordered to halt by the man, but Allen refused and the man fired on him. The man escaped over a fence. The fire was easily extinguished.

situation was discussed with intense interest in political circles, where it was held that 1t was fraught with the possibility of grave results.
 It was stated in semi-off1cial quar- ters that the vessels would become a strong weapon in the hands of Turkey if Constantinople abandoned its atti- tude of neutrality. The belief was expressed that the purchase preludes a new position on the part of Turkey and in favor of Germany and Austria Hungary, which is especially impor- tant as bearing on the interests of the Balkan states.
 Prepared for Death.
 The Tribuna says that the prepara- tions made at Messina for "a noble death" by the officers of the German cruisers, who before sailing from that port made their wills, left the public "unprepared for this farce.'' Seeing the impossibility of escape from the Anglo French fleet if they followed their original idea of molesting the transports moving French African troops. the German cruisers sought refuge in the Aegean sea, where, with the complicity of Turkey which con- tinues to make love to Germany. the two vessels contemplated how they might paralyze British commerce in the Mediterranean and interrupt tra fife with India.
 But closely pursued they had no alternative to taking refuge in the Dardanelles and disarming. Instead Turkey purchased them. This is not considered permissible, according to the law of nations Neyer has a nation at war sold her own ships which already had been used against an enemy. During the Russo -Ja- panese conflict many Russian ships entered Chinese and American neutral ports but they were disarmed and there awaited the end of the war.
