PLANS FOR PROTECTION
OF SURPLUS COTTON CHOP


ST. LOUIS. August 22.-Plans for
tho protection of the surplus cotton
crop were perfected to-day by COM
mittee appointed yesterday at meet
ing OF the st. Louis Business Mems
League. Acting on IT. Festus j. Wedge
president of the clearing house, will
report to Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo on Monday that the govern
ment need not concern itself with the
financing OF the cotton crop. He will,
however. urge that the St. Louis Fed
eral reserve bank be opened as soon
as possible in order to facilitate the
working OF the st. Louis plan.
The plan adopted by the committee
provides that merchants In the cot
ton States, who have dealings with St
Louis wholesalers or manufactu
store the surplus cotton OF their dis
t-icts in their own warehouses as far
possible. and send the warehouse
receipts TO the st. Louis wholesalers
and manufacturers. The st. Louis men
then Will take the warehouse receipts
to the st. Louis banks, and with these
rs security borrow money to be sent
to the cotton States. 1t Is planned that
the banks loan at the rate of $50 a bale.
All surplus cotton for which ware
house facilities cannot be provided In
the cotton districts, Will be stored as
far possible In ST. Louis The com
mltteemcn meanwhile will ascertain
how much warehouse space can be
obtained here, and 1t is estima ed that
the city can store at least 100000 bales
y large amount, 1t is expected can be
placed at Jefferson Barracks. few
miles south of st. Louis.

GERMANY is TAKING
GREAT HAZARD


LONDON. August oo.-Hila!re rselloc.
whose book two years ago outlined
exactly the methods By which Ger
many would open the war by an at
tack on Liese. and predicted speclfical-
ly In detail exactly what has happened,
now says OF the present situation:
The chief blow against tho French
defensive is still intended to be deliv.
cred across the Belgian plains. and en-
into the fiat country of Northeast
France, 1t Is n great hazard Germany
is taking.
What seems likely in the imme-
date future is an attempt TO break
the allied armies line north OF the
east and west course OF the Meuse and
Samhre Rivers and thence come across
the Belgian plains
"If 1t succeeds. the pressure on the
German armies from south In Alsace-
Lorraine will at once cease. because
France must quickly bring all her re-
serves north and concentrate them TO
stop the German advance on Paris
III II fails. the French advance on
Germanys left flank from Atsace-Lor-
raine will imm ediately be pressed. and
may decide the entire campaign"
