By the United Press.

London, Oct 1.-THE Germans
failed to carry the outer forts If
Antwerp by storm. Apparently they
learned nothing from their lesson
at Liege and instead of relying on
their artillery to reduce the forts
they tried to carry them at the point
of the bayonet.
Again they registered disastrous

entire front of the Antwerp forts
from the south.
This was emphasized by the Off

foundation the German reports that
they have taken two of the outer
chain OF forts.
The news received from Antwerp

A PERTINENT SUGGESTION.

The Daily Light of Thursday con
nent citizen of this city, who did
not want his name used III this
connection at this time, saying he
would purchase four hundred bales
OF cotton if he could make the neces-
sary arrangements, and hold same
off of the market, and in addition
to this would cut out cotton on his
several farms next year.
This is a pertinent suggestion
right at this time. and one worthy
Of adoption by every large land hold
er in Texas and the entire south
This gentleman suggested is Il
large land holder, whose land ordin-
arily makes him in the neighborhood
Of four hundred bales OF cotton per
annum, this year it will bring him
possibly half as many bales.
If every large land holder in the
state or south, would announce their
intention of cutting their cotton
acreage nj entirely another year,
or even cut it in half, and then make
that statement good when planting
time came, it would have much to do
with the price of the crop already
made. as Well as the future crop 10
be made
II every southern landlord finan-
eiaily able to do SO, would buy Is
many bales as he is able to finance,
without unnecessarily cramping him,
and hold it off the market il Wonld
make a material difference in the
price the present crop would bring,
say nothing of the price next year.
II IS up to the people OF the south
10 protect themselves. There is but
little sense in their giving their
stuff away or selling it at a loss
when they have it in their power to
save themselves simply by concerted
and cooperative effort.
viii they do il? The result is
to be seen
