'BUY-A-BAlE' MOVEMENT

Sol Wexler. New Orleans Banker,
Characterizes Present Plan
| as Perfect Rot"
SITUATION IN FARMERS HANDS
Declares Mill Owners VIII Go on
Market for Present Crop II It BE
Known That Next Years Yield
VIII BE Reduced.

II think it's perfect rot" ssid Sol
Wexler yesterday when asked what he
thought about the tBuy va Balo- of-cot-
ton" movement. Mr.. wexler ought to
know. In Louisiana cotton Is head
liner in the list of things that count.
Besides being president of the whitney
Central Bank. of New Orleans Mr.
Wexler is largely interested in. other
important financial and commercial en-
terprises, and he makes a speciality OF
knowing all there is to know about
cotton.
Farmers have the situation IN their
own hands," he said. and il they Will
show business judgment enough to
market their crops gradually now and
let 1t be known that, they intend to re-
duce the cotton acreage next year the
problem Is solved.
REDUCE NEXT CROP AND
MILLMEN WILL BUY
Il believe that any plan for the hold :
Ing of the cotton crop will prove futile
In the end, unless the farmers organize
and give the buyers and manufacturers
toSunderstand that they expect to make
a~big reduction in cotton acreage next
year" said Mr.. Wexler. Farmers, or
sanizing. first by counties, then by
States, should pledge themselves to .e-
duce the. cotton acreage next year and
give the millmen to understand that
they are In earnest about the matter.
thinks Mr.. Wexler. when the mill
owners see that the farmers mean
business" he said. they will go on the
market and buy,the surplus cotton, for
they Will be obliged to have it when
they see that next years crop will be
greatly curtailed."
II believe the Wade plan is prac-
ticable only If the loans 1t proposes are
made directly to the farmer" said Mr..
Wexler but I am not prepared to
discuss 1t fully. as 1 understand all
Of Its details have not been worked
out yet" The plan of Festus j.. Wade,
the st. Louis banker. has been ap-
proved by the Federal Reserve Board,
and. In the opinion OF many Of the
bankers, II is safe and wise in every
respect from an economic viewpoint.
The plan proposed a loan of $15o,000,-
600, to take care OF the surplus cotton
crop. The originator of the plan was
expected yesterday at convention head
quarters. and 1t was thought that he
would address the bankers regarding
the loan proposition, but he did not
appear.
In advocating a reduction of cotton
acreage. Mr.. Wexler said: What ad ;
surplus cotton crop OF this year IL the
farmers go right on next year and
raise as much Of the staple as they have
this season? Whenever 1t becomes
known that the crop of next year will
be greatly reduced, the market will
soon adjust itself, and prices will nat
urally advance"

RETREAT
 AFTER FRONT TIER
 TILE REPORTED

London, Oct. 14.-In a despatch dated Monday. the Daily Mails correspond ent in northern France says:
 The great German plan to hold the department of Pas De Calias and de- liver a crushing blow to the allies left wing, has failed thus far Yesterday and on Saturday our armies drove the enemy still farther back.
 The German army is extended from Trlrcoing to A1Tnentieres and was forced from it's position last Tuesday, has met with heavy defeat and beaten back northward.
 tThe battle which has been raging at intervals near Arras blazed out again in that vicinity and once more we forced the Germans back to the east and north. The German losses are said to be heavy. One force has had to turn tail and as long ago as last Wednesday it's columns were beat ing a heavy retreat back whence they came to join their supporters at Ypres.
 'FYpres was occupied Wednesday af- ternoon by a, moderate detachment of German cavalry and infantry, but if they have not yet evacuated it they must do so in the next few hours, as their position is untenabIe without very large retnforcements and these, if they exist, cannot reach them now
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-10-14

London, Oct 14-There is hope in London today that the anniversary of the battle of Jena, in which the Trench gained a victory over the Prus- stans and Saxons, just 100 years ago today, may be celebrated along both battle fronts by events recalling this great and decisive struggle, but what ever the outcome, observers are per- nftted to receive only the briefest ac- counts of what Is now transpiring in Belgium. France and Russian Poland.
 The latest French official comm uni cation declares there is nothing to re- port except a notable advance in the region Of Berry-Au-Bac. Petrograd gives out the cryptic statement that War-like operations continue to de- velop along the Yistula and San rivers as far as Przemys1 and farther south as far as the Dneister. A great battle along: this front may even now be un- der way and in any event it cannot be long postponed.
 Vienna reports that the Austrian of fensive cont tinues successfully north and south Of Przenysl and that Javos- e1au, an Important fortress taken by Russia several weeks ago, has been reoccupied by the A1lstrfans.
 A despatch received heer from Nish. structfons of the German general staff. Austria has concentrated on the banks of the Drinas the greatest army yet sent against Servia in a final and SUI preme effort to crush that country.
