Washington, Dec. 16- Secretary
Daniels tonight ordered the cruiser
Tacoma to proceed from San Domingo
to Colon to guard against a violatioi
of the neutrality of the Panama canal
by European belligerents
Colonel Coethals says he has no
means of preventing the use Of canal
or Panaman ports as q means of COM
munication and that these ports ap-
parently are being used TO that end.
Col. Goethals today expressed opin-
ion that there was a much necessity
for destroyers at canal Ports as at any
other American ports where they
were stationed to prevent breaches of
maritime laws or Of neutrality.
He declared that judging from re-
ports reaching him it was evident the
vicinity of the isthnus was being used
as a temporary base for the trassfer
of supplies and as a means Of COM
municat:on.

France Will Not
Interfere With
Cotton Exporting
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The French
government in a note to the state de-
partment today gave assurance that
France wouls not interfere In any
manner with American cotton ship
ments either to bel1igerent OF neutra
countries.
Announcement was made that
France would adopt the same attitude
toward cotton shipments as that OF
Great Britain.
Great Britain had announced late in
October that cotton was not and would
not be considered contraband and as
surance was given that there would be
no interference with shipments. Since
then the state department has been
seeking like treatment from France.
Ambassa dor Gerard informed the
state department there was practically
an unlimited market for cotton in Ger
many so that two million bales proba-
bly, could pc disposed of in the en-
pire in 1915. It was reported from
Vienna 500, 900 bales could find mar
ket in Austria Hungary and Ambas-
sador Page informed the state depart
ment that Italy was in the market. Mr.
Gerard said German prices ranged
from 13 to 13 cents a pound after al
lowing two cents for insurance, freight
and other charges.
Twelve vessels flying the American
flag and bearing about $4,000 bales OF
cotton now are loading or en- route to
Europe, The ultimate destination Of
the cargoes is Germany.
Officials today felt there would be. g
speedy restoration Of the cotton trade
to normal.

Insanity on the
Increase, Census
Bureau Reported
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 16-While an
enormous ircrease was shown in the
number of insane under institutional
care in the United States, the census
bureau, reporting today. stated that In
. itself was not conclusive proof OF
growth of insanity in the general
population.
The number of insane reported in
inst tutions increased from 150151 in
1904 to 1877 7e1 in 1910-growth of IS
per cent. The total population in the
same period increased only IL per
cent
In 1904 out of every 100 coo persons
in the total population. 1874 were re-
ported in institutions for the insane;
in 1910 the number had increased to
2O4.
Between 1904 ard 1910 the numner OF
institutions for the insane increased
from 32S to 366.
The impression held by some that
loneliness of country life is an impor-
tant cause OF insanity is not borne out
by statistics which indicate that more
insanity is due to stress and strain
l1eener competition, congested housing
conditions and the vice and dissipation
of city life. In proportion to popula-
ton the number of inmates of insane
hospitals from Urban communities Is
twice as great as the number from
rural districts. OF the 60769 persons
admitted TO insane hospitals in 1910.
26654 came from cities, villages. or
other incorporated places OF more
than . 500 inhabitan nts while 20,422
came from the smaller towns or coun-
try districts, leaving 673 for whom
the place of residence was not report
ed. From rural communities II insane
persons were admitted per 100000 pop
ulation from urban districts the ratio
was 86 per 100000.
Partial explanation OF the difference
between city and country, in that re-
gard is found in statistics of causes of
general paralysis and alcoholic psyche
sis. or the total number of persons
admitted to hospitals in 1910, 1853 per
cent. were afflicted with one or the
other of those diseases. That class of
cases, however. formed only 10.4 per
cent. Of the admissions from urban
compared with q per
cent. of the admissions from rural
In proportion to popula-
ton. however, cases of this character
received from the city were about four
and one half times as numerous as
those from the country.
