son today signed a proclamation cali
ing on the people of the United States
to pray for peace in Europe. The
presidents proclamation follows:
Whereas, great nations of the
world have taken up arms against
one another and war now draws mil
lions of men into battle when the
counsel of statesmen has not been
able to save from the terrible sacri-
fice
And, whereas, in this as in all
things it is our privilege and duty to
seek counsel and succor of Almighty
God, humbling ourselves before Him,
4confessing our weakness and our
lack of any wisdom equal to these
things;
And, whereas. it is the especial
wish and longing of the people of
the United States, in prayer and
counsel and all friendliness. to serve
the cause of peace;
Therefore, l, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States Of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October next, a day Of
prayer and supplication and do re-
quest all God-fearing persons to re-
pair on that day to their places of
worship there to unite their petitions
to Almighty God, that overruling the
counsel of men, setting straight the
things they cannot govern or alter.
taking pity on the nations now in the
throes of conflict, in His mercy and
goodness showing way where men
can see none, He vouchsafe His chill
dren healing peace again and restore
once more that conord among men
and nations without which there can
be neither happiness nor true friend
ship nor any wholesome fruit of toll
or thought in the world; praying
also to this end that He forgive us
our sins, our ignorance of His Holy
will, our wilfulness and many errors,
and lead us in the paths of obedience
to places of vision and to thoughts
and councils that purge and make
wise
I'm witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.

SLATON GIVES REASONS
FOR NOT CALLING SPECIAL SEES
SION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Says States Constitution Prevents
Body From Passing Any Legisla-
ton to Meet Present Crisis.

ton to Meet Present Crisis.
ATLANTA.-Governor Stations re-
fusal this week to call a special ses-
sion of the state legislature to con-
slider means of meeting the crisis in
the cotton situation was based, he
explained to reporters later, on the
constitution, which would prevent
any real remedy being applied even
if a special session were called. The
general assembly can be called in
special session only for some spe-
cific purpose, and it would be hard
to specify just what legislation is
needed. In addition, it is impossible
to amend the state constitution in
side of two years. The committee of
Macon citizens which called on the
governor suggested stay law and
the governor pointed out that the
stay laws" passed in Georgia just
after the war had been declared I'M
constitutional. The suggestion that
an excess of cotton over a certain
amount be taxed also met with con-
stitutional objections.
When the suggestion was made
that the legislature be called to pass
resolutions requesting aid from
Washington Governor Slaton pointed
out the heavy cost of such session.
He stated that the real source of re-
lief must be from congress and the
treasury department. He declared
that the government the sole body
with power to issue money, should
respond at once or it will fail to per-
form it's function.
81 hope the people of Georgia will
not submit themselves to be made
battledores and shuttle ocks,' he de-
clared. THE government is the
source of relief. No evasion or post
ponement should be allowed. The
people should know that when a rep
resentative in congress refers this
question to the states he is endeav-
oring to shirk his responsibility"

COTToN-MADE GOODS.
Atlanta Stores Rally to Movement
Begun by Women's Clubs.

Atlanta department stores have re-
spended to the movement to stimulate
the wearing of cotton goods by pre-
pairing a great display of cotton fab
RIGS today. They are devoting win
dows and aisles to showing just what
beautiful clothes can be made from
cotton.
The movement was begun by the

Clubs. A call has been sent to the
membership urging them to use cot.

URGES MORE PUBLIC
COMFORT STATIONS
Inspector of Plumbing Submits
His Annual Report to the
Commissioners.

Establishment Of additional public
comfort stations is recommended by
A. r. McGonegal, inspector of plumb
ing, in his annual report submitted to
the Commissioners today.
Stations Of similar capacity as the
one at Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, he declares, are ur-
gently needed at several Of the con-
gested centers. notably at Ninth and
F and G streets northwest, Fifteenth
street and New York avenue northwest,
Wisconsin avenue and NJ streets north
west, Fifteenth and H streets north
east. and near the Peace Monument.
Smaller stations. he says. might we'll
be built at the Acqueduct bridge, CAL
vert street bridge, Seventh street and

The attendance at the Seventh street
station during the year was s22, 20, at
the station at Thirteen-and- a-half

The total cash receipts amounted to

ARMY-NAVY GAME

There is every reason that senti-
ment can contemplate, why the
Army-Navy football game should be
held in Washington; not this year,
hut every year.
Perhaps it would not draw such
large crowds or earn so much money
here as in Philadelphia or New
York. That is not a reason worthy
of much consideration. This con-
test is not one for cash.
The game is a sentimental affair.
Twenty-Five equally capable young
athletes could be found, easily
enough, to put up an equally appeal
ing rough-and-tumble riot over a
ten-acre lot, almost any place. But
it wouldn't be sn Army-Navy game.
Washington stands for everything
that gives greatest inspiration and
zest to this interservice contest.
Here it would be played before the
audience that represents everything
most calculated to arouse emulation
and ardor. The controversy about
where to have the game should be
settled by having it in the one and
only appropriate place.

AN EXPORT BOOM.

Our foreign sales in food products
hre now increasing so fast, because
of the demands of the war, that as
manufactures follow their lead-and
they, too, are beginning-our export
trade will be So great as to quicken
industry and stimulate business
throughout the United States to an
extraordinary degree.
AS in the earlier weeks of the war
there was, in the week ending Tues
Gay, virtual suspension of our
sales to Germany, bottled up by the
allies, and likewise to Russia, bot
tied up by Germany. Nevertheless
the total general merchandise ship
ments from New York for that week
were of a value of s20,G32, 2,132. This
was an increase of 20 per cent over
the corresponding weeks year ago.
1t was gain of 25 per cent over the
preceding week, and over the week
ended August %, l25 pe- cent.

IN BELGIUM AGAIN.

The tide of war at its first rising
swept over Belgium, and left desc
lation ard suffering in its wake. 1t
rolled on to France, and well-nigh to
Paris.
Now it is turning back upon itself;
the undertow of the great retirement
of the Germans nears the Belgian
border again. In a few days more
the field of Waterloo, where the
Kaiser is understood to have estab-
lished a force and created great in
trenchments, may be the scene of a
huge conflict.
In order to strengthen their hold
on Belgium, the Germans are under
the necessity of taking Antwerp, and
to this they have set themselves with
will. The great siege guns that
tJrned the Notifications of Liege end
Maubeuge and Namur into f''tile
houses of cards, are bcirg placed for
ike assault on the great Belgian
seaport town. Already comes from
London admission that there is grave
doubt whether the town can be held
against such an attack.
Belgium will be drcnched again in
blood. 1t is a horrible fate that has
been n:eted out to the little and ut
tcrly inofending country. That her
people have conducted themselves
magnifcently, that they have earned
a name for heroism that will live as
long as history shall be written and
brave deeds shall be sung, is small
consolation to the millions who today
see their country literally being de-
stroyed. There will be a desert
where there was the most densely
populated region Of all Europe. No
enumeration of mere military casu-
alties can suggest, even, the story of
a whole country swept If its every
means for living. Mines flooded,

A TREATY NEGLECTED.

Unless the right authorities wake
up and do something about it we are
likely TO have lot of petty misun-
derstandings with Canada over the
fishing question.
Six years ago, after a long period
cf trouble over food fishing in the
Great Lakes, treaty was made be-
tween the United States and Canada
for the appointment of joint COM
mission to frame fishing regulations
applicable to boundary waters from
he Atlantic to the Pacific. The COM
mission, which consisted of DR..
David Starr Jordan for the United
States, and Prof. Prince, for Canada,
had no trouble in drawing up regula-
tions. Canada agreed to these, but
there was objection on the part of
cur own lake fishermen.
The matter stayed pigeonholed at
Washington even when Canada, in
1912, gave notice that unless the
regulations were approved at the
next session OF Congress she would
resume liberty of action.
The announcement now comes
from Ottawa that the Canadian gov
crnment proposes to make such
amendments tc the existing fishing
regulations fo- the Canadian portion
Of the boundary waters as may be
deemed best"
1t is cften good diplomacy to de-
lay international contracts, but it is
moor diplomacy to pigeonhole them.
] his is a matter in which both coun-
tries are better off with mutual reg
uIationS. The lakes fishermen, Yam
kee and Canuck, have bad habit of
letting their tugs and their nets drift
across the boundaries, and their seiz-
ure is usually followed with a hula
baloo from the jingoes of their re-
spective fish markets.
Here's a chance for Mr.. Bryan to
odd another peace treaty to his

THE AMBASSADOR'SCOOK

At length the truth about respon-
sibility for the war is out. Sir Ed
ward Goschen, British ambassador in
Berlin, fired his German cook five
days before war was declared. That,
solemnly declares the Berlin Lokal
Anzeiger, is "incontestaDle procf
that England wanted war all the
time and was secretly preparing for
it,"
This ought to end the futile de-
cate. There is no longer room for
uncertainty. No man would fire his
cook unless he was prepared for
war; many have gone through tribu-
lation quite comparable TO war, in
order tc keep their cooks; but that
a man would fire the cook for any
less cause than that he had deter
mined to plunge the world into war,
is incorceivable. The logic of the
Lokal Anzeiger is almost as good as
its sense of humor.
There is one weak link in the
damning chain of facts which the
Berlin organ has forged together,
fastening the bloody badge of guilt
to the government of Perfidious Al
bion. 1t should be strengthened
forthwith in order to make the case
complete and impeccable.
How did the ambassadors house
hold feed itself during the five days
interregnum between the dismissal
Ct the cook and the declaration of
war?
Are We to assume that the whole
encourage of the embassy undertook
a fast of five days? And if so, why?
What the need to starve a week in
order to leave a record of fiendish
purpose?
Is it possible that the British gov
eminent, in addition 20 precipitating
the world into well-nigh universal
war, also required its ambassador to
starve himself for five days? 1t
seems unthinkable. What could be
accomplished by such irconsiderate
treatment of perfectly competent
On this point, we doub. not, the
Lokal Anzeiger will promptly come
up with explanation. That furnish
ed, the case may be considered closed
and the jury instructed to bring in a
verdict against PERI. Alb.

Through the ages should be kept;
Where our chieftain's ashes gently

So that all who will may enter

But the world will honor always

For the doctrines OF his pen
Still control the lives OF men.
Moses brought from Slnai's mountain

Ever since the rule of action

And the lapsing years of time
Make their truths the more sublime.
