OPTIMISTIC OVER
 FUTURE OF COTTON

New York, November S.-(Special.)- IA Mississippi merchant who reached this city yesterday was very optimistic re- garding the future Of the cotton market. He said that reports to the effect that more cotton would be produced than was estimated were largely exaggerated. He admitted that the continued good weather in the cotton belt would adds something to the crop but asserted that outside of Oklahoma there was no reason to fear a national addition to the present supply. With the coming of killing frosts in the cotton belt averaging November 1o it is expected that by a week from that date, at least, the growth of cotton Tor all practical purposes will be at an end. Locally, the present position of the cot ton market is attributed to too rapid rise in the recent past.

 An increase in the cancer death rate was noted in a paper prepared by pr. Curtis E. Lakeman of New York, execu- tive secretary of the American Society for Control of Cancer.
 'The estimate of 750OO deaths a year from cancer in the United States. which was current on good authority last year, must now be raised to SO000. Dr. Lake man asserted. ''The public must learn that there is hope for cure in early diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, lit tie else offers reliable hope for cures The public almost wholly fails to realize how great the hope for cure is at the beginning and how rapidly 1t fades with delay

 Hookworm Discussed
 pr. John A. Terrell of the Rockefeller foundation summarized results of the campaigns against the spread of hook worm.
 "Field directors who have been in the work for years feel that community work is the real contribution to the field of medicine" pr. Terrell said. The work is carried on in several sections on a scale fully within the comprehension of the average man. He is familiar with conditions which preceded the work and he observes the improvements following it. He weighs the facts and sees in the undertaking a good business investment. Having controlled one disease, he is ready to help control others and help provide necessary funds. He is ready to vote for legislators who will in turn vote funds for strengthening the directing head of the work, the state board of health.''
 Dr. J Howell Way, president of the North Carolina board of health, described the county unit of health work in that state Under this system each county places funds at the disposal of the state health board to be expended in that eoun- ty for specific purpose. By this sys- tenn, he said, politics are eliminated and the state board is furnished new source of revenue.

Suppression of Globe Explained

After being warned, Earl Curzon said the Globe repeated its sact, and as a re- suit the government authorized it's Sus- pension under the defense of the realm act
 Defending the governments policy in the Balkans the Marquis of Lansdowne said it had been constantly before the foreign office and that it was not from any want of careful study that the gov ernment had found themselves at last disappointed with the executions. The Balkan policy was founded upon the hope that the Balkan states would be ready to enter into what might be called give-and-take arrangement between themselves. Old jealousies and animosi- ties, however, had prevented this.
 When the history of these transactions came to be written, the marquis con- tinued it would be found that mo for eign minister had ever had a more thank less and perhaps, I might add, hopeless task entrusted to him
 When the relations of Servia and Bull garia first became strained the minister went on, it was thought intervention might precpitate trouble, which the gov ernment wished to avoid Besides It was impossible to find troops then, as the big offensive in the west was being pre- pared. The government hesitation was not due to the fact that they had any doubt whether they ought to take part in opposing the forward movement of Ger many across Servia to Bulgaria but be- cause at that moment it was impossible to say what would be the most effectual way of assisting the allies, includin1 servia False steps at that moment would have been fatal.

been his experience in the last few months. As to the contention that po- Itical consideration should not enter into the war, it was impossible to ar gue the opinions of Englands allies Very likely their urgent appeals were not to be weighed in the balance and matters ought to be looked at solely from the point of view 9f generals and admirals.
 Earl Curzon said he agreed generally with the principles laid down by Wis count Miner, with regard to the publi- cation of news but he thought it would be unwise to be unduly frank about diplomatic and political situa- tions which might assume new forms from day to day. Tho government, he added, was unanimous in desire to give the public as much information as possible.
 Discretion of Press Praised
 After having praised the press as a whole for it's discretion and loyalty, Earl Curzon expressed the view that more news should be provided through the press bureau. He added that the govern ment was endeavoring to see whether arrangements could not be made for ere ating closer contact between the press and the fighting forces.
 Defending the censorship of the German wireless, Earl Curzon said he did not see why England should become "the advertising agent for German calumnies and lies.' In defense of his ministerial colleagues, Earf Curzon said the attacks on Premier Asquith were "cruel slan- ders'' and that those on Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary, filled him with in dignation and shame
 Publication of the Globe had been stopped, Earl Curzon declared, because it made an untrue statement and as- signed that statement to a false and malicious reason. The publishing by the Globe of the statement that Earl Kitchener, the war secretary, had ten- dered him resignation, Earl Curzon went on, was made at a moment of an, inter- national crisis--when the Greek govern ment had resigned and when it was doubt full whether former Premier Venizelos was likely to resume office or not, and at a moment when Servia in her agony was appealing for help and we were doing our best to help her.
