SHIP HOTEL TO CLOSE.
New York Working Girls Must Seek
New Living Quarters.

NEW YORK. August 27.-Sixty work
ing girls. who for several years have
been guests in the working girls hotel
housed in the old ship Jacob a. SIAM
Ter. moored in the East river at ODD
street are today wondering where they
will lind as comfortable quarters and as
cheap living after September II. when
the old vessel is to be closed as a lodg
ing house.
Notice posted yesterday stated that
the -\rbuckle estate was going to aban-
don the philanthropic hobby of the late
John Arbuckle and that the rooms must
be vacated. A year ago when similar
threat to close the hotel was made the
girls appealed to the sisters of their
benefactor with the result that the clos
ing order was withdrawn.

Cool Judgment Needed.

Picture then an American ship APP
proaching the port of Rotterdam and
British naval officer exercising the right
OF search and OBTAINING the ship on the
presumption that her grain cargo is CON
traband. The coolest judgment will pr
needed in such a case to avoid dispute
and Il misunderstanding.
1T has been suggested that we allo"
food ships to enter Dutch ports on the
mere declaration that their cargoes are
not in transit to the enemy. Whether
such a declaration would be sufficient IT
is difficult to say. hut it IS evident that
the officers OF the fleet should have Very
definite Instructions on these points to
avoid any arrangements.

Rights Of United States.

THE United States possesses the right
to send cargoes to Rotterdam and will
exercise that right. We must be pre-
pared to see neutral American vessels
discharging cargoes in Holland ports.
Many questions are likely to arise re-
garding the exclusion of absolute con-
ditional contraband, that is, things that
may be used by the German naval and
military forces
1T has been the British practice to re-
gard as liable to capture any contraband
cargoes concerning which it could be

Socialists Declare Loyalty.

The entry of Jules Guesde and Marcel
Sembat. the former a socialist and the
latter a united socialist deputy, to the
leadership of the socialists of France in
succession to the late Jean Jaures. has
unified the party. The change is favor
ably commented upon today by all
parties i'll France. and particularly the
socialists themselves. Guesde and Sem
bat are also members of the new cabinet
the former being without portfolio and
the latter holding the post of minister
of public works. The socialists say they
desire to cola borate in the defense of the
nation. although under the leadership of
Guesde they always will be opposed to
the participation of the party in the gov
eminent. NJ. Guesde in an interview in
the Paris Midi today says:
Il go into the cabinet as an envoy
of my party-not to govern. but to fight.
II l were younger l would have shoulder
ed a gun But my age does not per-
init this l will nevertheless face the
enemy and defend the cause of humanity.
Effect of Solidarity.
Il am confident of final victory, and
without hesitation as to its subsequent
role in France, the party will never
deviate from the line of conduct laid out
AS the solidarity Of workmen does not
shut out the right to defend themselves
against traitor workmen, so interna-
tioEal solidarity does not exclude the
right of one nation to defend itself
against a government traitor to the
peace of Europe.
France has been attacked, and she
will have no more ardent defenders thar
the workmen's party
NJ Sembat declined to say more than
uaC1a
their posts with the approval of the So
cialist party, which with all other
parties in France must now give way be-
fore the necessity of national defense.

No Bread Famine This Year.

There will be no bread famine
in the United States this year.
The largest wheat crop i'm history
has Just been harvested and ac-
cording to the United States de-
partment of agriculture. the total
production is approximately 911,-
600. 600 bushels: nearly $50, 000,-
600 bushels more than any pre-
vious crop produced in this coun-
try. We have at least two and a
half million bushels of wheat
which are not needed for con-
sumption at home or for seed.
The surplus production of the
United States usually goes to
Europe, but under present condi-
tons, caused by the European
war, this cereal cannot cross the
ocean. About rs, 600, 600 bushels
have been taken for export, but
most of it is being held at ports
of departure.

Profits for Farm Products.

The greatest encouragement
that can be given agriculture is
profitable prices for farm pro-
ducts. Crop destroying insects
have been a stubborn enemy and
Jupiter Pluvius has played many
pranks on the farmer, but there
is no pestilence like low prices;
they will sap the life-blood of
an industry.
1t is one of the most pitiful
sights in twentieth century
civilization to see a farmer after
he has raised a crop sit helpless
ly by and watch the bulls and
bears of Europe and America
trample over it, and yet if the
farmer will only organize and
cooperate he can successfully
fence out these animals that
Saevastate his prodRets after the
AaGweak.

FARMERS ARE NOW SURE
OF AVERAGE YIELDS

While the farmers were howl
ing back yonder in July and
August that there would be no
cotton made, they have turned
all of their present concern to
the availability of amarket for
that which will be made. And
1T is not going to be any sorry
crop that is turned in this fall.
according to the opinions of a
number of leading growers of
the county. The prospects for
cotton have been increasingly
good since the middle of August
when the weather was ideal for
It's rapid and uniform develop
ment, condition on which the
production of even half crop
was then predicted. The stalks
have been growing splendidly
and the fact that the stands are
rather spotted throughout the
county has tended to give the
plants room for extension and
development. There are in the
county some fields of cotton as
fine as any that have been seen
at this period of the year and
the chance is that a much better
crop is going to be made than
the farmers anticipated.
The planters speak in en-
couraged tones, too, as to the
corn crop. While this plant
suffered along with cotton a
blight from the intense heat and
drought that prevailed in June
and July and has more or less
continued up until September,
farmers availed themselves of
the opportunity of planting late
corn when they got their grain
o IF of the fields and it is the late
corn that has. now such a fine
prospect. With continued favor
able weather, a corn production
equal to that of last year or
equal, as matter of fact, to any
average year, will be turned out.

FORMER EDITOR Of THE TIMES
ELECTED TO THE LEGISLATURE

: The Fort Mill friends of w. r.
Bradford were very much graft
he'd upon receipt of the election
returns from Yorkville to learn
that he had been nominated in
the Democratic primary for a
seat in the General Assembly
from York county. In the first
primary held three weeks ago,
Mr.. Bradford lacked less than so
votes of being nominated. In
the second primary he was nomi-
mated by majority of more than
300. receiving 2,O6O votes.
Mr.. Bradford's home is in Fort
Mill. Formerly he was editor of
The Times and in the estimation
OF brother members of the fourth
estate he is considered a strong
writer who is well informed upon
current matters. While never
having been member of legis-
lative body. he has had opportuni-
ty to study and observe the pro-
cesses of legislation by reason of
his connection in clerical capac-
lty with the State Senate and
with the Senate of the United
States. He is therefore expected
to make a useful member of the
House of Representatives.

Sardou. the great French playwright.

his book. "Sardou and the Sardou
Plays"
Like Alexandra Dumas pere, Sardou
was extremely sensitive to the opinions
of the less subtle spectators Of his re-
hearsals. He closely watched and
needed the impressions and comments
of the stage carpenters. scene painters,
firemen, supers and other humble peo-
pie behind the scenes. They represent
ed to him the average mind Of the av-
erage audience. To the opinions Of ac-
tors of his unproduced pieces he paid
little heed; to the opinions Of critics.
none at all. At rehearsals no details
escaped him. He would seat himself
on the stage chairs and sofas, open and
shut the practicable doors. go to the
back of the parterre to study the per-
spective Of the scene, climb to the high
est cutlery to see If the audience there
could hear, and then hasten back to
the stage
There he would seat himself. Jump
ing up during the rehearsal thirty or
forty times to show the actors his idea
Of the action. In doing this he would
laugh. would cry. would shrek and
would even die a mimic death. Com
ing to life again, he would call for his
overcOat and hasten to mufile himself
up as before. He was very sensitive to
cold and always came on the stage
with a heavy coat. a muffler and cap
to protect him from drafts.
HE would rehearse from 10 in the
morning until 3. when he would take
sandwich and a glass Of wine. After
this he would resume his work until 5.
at which hour he would 60 blithely
forth into the street. smiling and hum
