The American Consul at Sydney,
Australia, reported Tuesday that
the Australian government had plac-
ed an embargo on meat and coal. ex-
cent to the mother country. Judge
Flemming, Chief OF the Board OF
Foreign Trade Advisers, received In
formation the same dry from the
American Consul General In Austral-
ia that the Australian government
had placed an embargo upon wool,
wheat and flour. This is to force
shipments OF those products to Eng
land, where OF course most OF them
will 20. II has not been very long
since the announcement came out
that England would first get her cot
ton from her colonies, which was n
natural thing to expect under exist

United States to remember that Pres

people to remain neutral was well
taken and the advice gets better with

COTTON MARKET IMPROVES

The plain logic Of Mr.. Bakers ar
tlcle In the Signal last week on the
cotton market has appealed to the
sober Judgment OF most Of the peo-
pie. There is nothing truer than that
cotton splnners will refuse to offer
s or cents pound for cotton when
they can buy It for six cents, and
yet 1t Is said they are willing to pay
nine cents a pound.
It is probable that from now on
the farmers will not SO readily agree
to sell at whatever they can get Of
fered. october Is a strenuous month
for farmers who are In debt. and
most OF the sales that have been
made were In a way enforced, be-
cause the people wanted to meet
their obligations.
These obligations have now In a
measure been satisfied aud the farm

Besides that, the market seemed to
grow stronger during the latter part
OF last week. due to the assurances
from England that cotton shipments
would not be hindered. Then came
the opening OF the reserve banks,
the New York Exchange. and the
promise OF the available millions
raised by the St Louis pool plan.

REDMOND PLEADS
FOR AID OF IRISH
Wants Countrymen to
Bear Share in War Against
Common Foe.

London, Sept. 16.-"The democracy
of Great Britain have kept faith with
Ireland and it is now the duty and
honor of Ireland to keep faith with
them," John Redmond, the Irish leader,
says in a manifesto issued tonight in
which he calls on Irishmen to bear
their share in the war IN which the
Empire is engaged.
"The Irish people" Mr.. Redmond
continues, know and appreciate the
fact fully. that at last, after centuries
of misunderstanding, the democracy Of
Great Britain have finally and irrev-
ocably decided to trust them and give
them back their national liberties.
by overwhelming British majorities
charter of liberty for Ireland has
three times been passed by the House
of Commons and in a few hours will
be the law of the land. A new era has
opened in the history of the two ma
tions.
During the long discussion on the
Irish problem in Parliament and on the
platform we promised the British PEG.
pie that a concession of liberty would
have the same effect in Ireland as in
every other part of the empire, nota.
bly,, in recent years, in South Africa;
that dissatisfaction would give way to
friendship and good will, and that Ire
land would become a strength instead
of weakness to the empire"
Mr.. Redmond then goes on TO speak
of the war, saying:
at is just war, provoked by the in
tolerable military despotism Of Ger.
many. 1t is war for high
ideals of human government and in.
ternational relations, and Ireland
would be false to her history, to every
consideration of honor, good faith and
self-interest, did she not willingly bear
her share in its burdens and its sacri-
fees.
1--WE have even, when no ties of SYM
pathy bound our country to Great Brit
ain, always given our quota, and more
than our quota, to the firing line, and
we shall do so now.
ave have right to claim that Irish
recruits for an expeditionary force
should be kept together as a unit and

CANADA SEEKING FUNDS
Railroads Sound Bankers on
Financing Deals.

Powerful Canadian railroad and in
dustrisl corporations have been sound
ing New York bankers as to their atti-
tuds on new loans. Among those men.
toned were the Canadian Pacific,
which, according TO one banker, would
take any amount running from 100000
TO s4O,oo0,0OO. This banker thought
that the total of new financing which
the Canadian corporations are seeking
would total 100000, 900.
As the financial situation has been
adversely affected by the European
war, New York bankers arc offering
their Canadian friends no encourage
ment. They point out that they arc I'M
able 10 finance the requirements Of the
corporations of this country at the
present time, so why should they look
to other fields, even though the induce
ment be attractive.

SAYS VANDERBILT
CRITICISES ALLIES
German Chamber Here Quotes
Alleged Interview in the
"BreSlau Zeitung."

The Chamber of German-American
Commerce yesterday gave out an in
terview with Cornelius Vanderbilt
taken from the "Breslau Zeitung." Ac-
cording to Heinrich Charles, secretary
of the Chamber, the interview was
given to a correspondent Of the Bres-
lau paper at Genoa, August q. Mr..
Vanderbilt is quoted as saying:
Even without considering all of
Germany's achievements of culture
and civilization, which are unequalled
all over the world, and which will
never be surpassed by England, no
other country has so vital an interest
in the welfare Of the German nation
as the United States. Under no cir
cumStances can we allow our best Gus
toner to be crushed. Our commercial
relations with Germany are too strong
and intimate a blow which would
strike at the heart of Germany would
also strike us and wound us fatally.
81 do not hesitate to call it the
greatest disgrace of the twentieth
century that England assisted France
and Russia in the most monstrous
crime which, since the existence of
civilized nations, has been COM
mitted by the French and Russian
nations, united through imbecile ia
naticism and insane chauvinism. am
convinced that history will unanimous
ly condemn the diplomats of England
much more than those Of France and
Russia.
81 cannot believe that the English
government will be supported very
much longer by the English people. Nm
fact, | much rather believe that this
nation in a short while will oppose
it's statesmen; and that England will
be the first power to withdraw from
the European war; for, outside of
America, it is England which is most
interested in the existence of Ger
many. Degenerate France deserves
to be destroyed. As regards France,
America in losing her loses just as
little as in losing Russia-thc power
representing the essence of everything
detestable.
"Our wishes arc with Germany,
that through this ocean of blood and
calamities she may keep the strength
to evolve a new, magnificent, peace
full Europe under German leadership.
The nation which has donated to the
world so many gifts of culture and
civilization. which, through discipline
organization, industry, creative and
productive power, challenged the un.
limited admiration OF the present and
the future, has the full right TO live
and to prosper. would have to de-
SPAR Of Heaven and eternal justice
if this Germany should perish through
q sacrilegious act Of barbarism."
