ITO my mind" said Representative
Anthony, there can be no doubt that
any up to date army must he equipped
with armored automobiles. The things
that have been accomplished through
their use in Europe have demonstrated
that as engines Of modern warfare
they are Indispensable. This is strik-
ingly SO in connection with all cavalry
movements. Nobody can question the
advantage Of having fast moving vehi-
cles which can carry fighting men and
keep them impregnable to rifle fire.
II understand that one Of the argu-
ments against the use of these cars in
the United States is that our terrain.
the lay of the land. is not suitable for
their use. This, it seems to me, is an
untenable objection. The country over
the terrain Of the United States does
offer more obstacles than that Of Eu
rope because the present battlefields of
Europe are u network Of improved
highways. But there are many areas
where hostilities might take place in
this country that are exactly suited to
the use Of the automobile.
1T must be remembered that all

car. It is not built. for instance, with
pneumatic tires. and it can traverse
open and rough country with facility.
It can even 80 through the panel Of

Proclaiming that nothing short CT
action by the Federal Government can
save the cotton situation preeipitated
by the European war, representatives OF
the Southern Cotton Congress, composed
of cotton producers, merchants. bank
ers, and business men dependent upon
the cotton industry, met this morning
in the Democratic caucus room Of the
House office building to take steps
looking to the enactment of legislation
which. in the words OF the president. L.
J. Watson, will make cotton as God
intended it to be-a security, rather
than a commodity"
Mr.. Watson, who is commissioner
Of agriculture of South Carolina, de-
clared that there is no market what
ever for cotton. the commodity which
preserves the balance of trade Of this
country and is its basis of finance.
He told the delegates, however. that
they can at present scarcely do more
than indorse the measures being pre-
sented to Congress by the members
of both houses of that body from the
South. The Legislators who are deal
ing with the cotton question. he con-
tinued, are occupied with establish =
ing cotton a tangible basis of credit.

that he was confident thae such an
amount OF the emergency currency

Senator Smith said that English
diplomatic representatives have esti-
mated that Great Britain would con-
sumo its usual supply OF American cot

consumption Of at least three-fourths
Of the crop.
He declared that within thirty days
fifty ships will be lying the American
