OPEN ALL Il GATES.

Those who have been responsible
for the maintenance of a Chinese
wall around the American merchant
marine, and especially that part of 1t
engaged in coastwise trade, are not
u~nnaturally dismayed by the pressure
which has come for the removal OF
the wall in the sudden emergency
created by the European war. Objec-
tions to the pending measure liberal
izing American registry. have very
plainly been inspired by theories and
interests which for SO many years
were responsible for the long and al
most successful fight for ship subsi-
dies. There has been an exaggerated
.straining and gagging over points of
alleged international law which have
little or no validity in the full light
of present circumstances.

FATE OF SERBS INVOLVED.

> (From the Washington STAR
The fate of the Serb as a separate
power hangs upon the solution of the
present war in Europe, in which ne
may count as an important factor.
The late Mr.. Stead in his remarkable
article in the Contemporary Review
in 1909 pictured the Slav as the real
defender of the Occident against
fierce invasion of the Mongol. He
was, said Mr.. Stead, the bulwark and
shield to which the Occident owes It's
freedom from the horrors of Oriental
wars. Mr.. Stead predicted the
%dominancy of the Slav, and even sug'
gested the possibility of an ultimate
transformation of the dual monarchy
into "a crowned and glorified Swift
erland' by, creating a third autonom'
Gus State out of Croatia, Dalmatia'
Bosnia-Herzegovina, austria Hun
gary4Slavonia" to replace Austria
Hungary, and the evolution of the
free federation of the future would
proceed silently and bloodlessly as by
a process of natural growth.

While the parents were in the house
chatting, the Haas boy and. one of
the Scherf boys, a lad somewhat old

Shortly before 6 o'clock the Scherf
boy came running to the house saying
that Edwin was hurt and was dying
In the pump-house.
Mr.. Haas and Mr.. Scherf hurried to
the place ard found that the lad had
told the truth about his companion

An EARLY PREDICTIONS.

One Of the predictions IN the way
the war will turn out, although It is
altogether too early to make predic-
tons yet, is that Germany will lose.
but will find herself in possession of
more territory at the end of the strug.
gle than in the beginning This is
predicted on the crumbling of Aus
tria and the annexation of a part Of
that country to Germany, to make up
for concessions made to France ana
Belgium.

"The clergy are among the worst
enemies Of the Mexican people,"
Such an u%tterance in q country ov-

wise for many reasons. II is entirely
in line with the treatment Of the
priests and the religious teaching or

%volutionists have captured. There is
no force in Mexico SO powerful az the.

conservatism Of the clergy could have

COMPROMISE ON COTTON
House Leaders Get Together OH Re-
lief Plan to End Deadlock.

Washington, Oct. 2l-With COM
promise relief proposal under consid-
GRAFTON in the House and a joint con-
ference committee at work on the
War Tax bill, the tangled legislative
situation cleared slightly yesterday
and hope of an adjournment of Con-
gress by Saturday again put in an
appearance.
The cotton forces in the House,
which have been holding up the War
Revenue bill as means of forcing
cotton relief legislation, gave way
when the House Rules Committee
reported a special rule for the consid-
Grafton of the Lever Cotton Ware
house bill and the Glass bill author
izing the acceptance Of 100 per cent.
commercial paper as basis for Fed
eral reserve currency. The rule car
ried a special amendment to the
Glass bill, which would authorize the
SECRETARY Of the Treasury tc deposit
in banks in the cotton and tobacco
States s25O,OO0,O0O of Government
funds to be used in meeting the cot
ton crisis. The funds would be secur-
ed by a sale of Panama Canal bonds
or by an issue of $3.50 100000 . per
cent. Government notes maturing jan
uary /. 1916.
With the understanding that this
proposal was to be considered in the
House. the cotton States representa-
tives allowed the House leaders to
send the War Revenue Dill to confer
encc. The House and Senate confer
ees Immediately began a session
which ran we'll into the night and in
which all of the undisputed sections
Of the bill were promptly agreed
upon.
