COUNTRYWIDE SCOPE
United States Proves Its Dependa-
bIlty as a Food and Military
Supplies Storehouse.

New York-The remarkably active
condition of business in every line In
New York City and the indications of
countrywide prosperity found in the
East, and quality of purchases by buy
ers from every corner of the United
States, have been the subject of com
ment in trade centers. II has further
more been made apparent after inves-
tigation that the business is, TO a
considerable extent, based on condi-
tions independent of the war in Eu-
rope.
A boom in such lines as autOm0-
biles has been obvious for many
weeks, but in business where smaller
articles are sold there has also been
an advance which would seem to indI-
cate a long period of prosperity. A
confidence that such obstacles are not
likely to arise is shown in trade gen.
orally More wheat and oats will DO
harvested this year than ever before
in the agricultural history of the Uni
ted States. A big crop is in the max.
ing and high prices for last year mean
prosperity for the country at large.

BULGARIA AIDS TURKEY
Ottoman Government Grants Seaport
For Privilege of Bringing War
Munitions Through Country.

Berlin. - The following statement
has been given out:
Official reports from Sofia and
Constantinople state that Turkey and
Bulgaria have signed a new treaty.
Turkey granting Bulgaria her desired
direct railroad connection with the
sea, and Bulgaria agreeing to observe
a benevolent neutrality"
This demonstrates the definite fall
ure Of the efforts OF the entente
powers to revive alliance Of the Bal
kan states and induce them to join
In the war against Turkey.
Unofficial reports late In July stat
ed that a convention had been signed
on July 20. by which Turkey coded
to Bulgaria the Turkish portion Of the
Dedeaghatch Railway. The reports
stated that the treaty left Bulgaria
unpledged.
That Bulgaria had not been pledged
to any course as regards the war has
been the assumption under which ne
gotiations have been conducted by the
allies. Several unofficial reports con-
corning Bulgarias diplomatic activi-
ties appeared to confirm this view.

TO AID HANDLING COTTON
MeAdoo Says U. S. Treasury viii De-
post $4,000, 900 In Southern Re-
serve Banks for Farmers.

Washington. Treasury officials on
Aug. 20 made public an announcement
by Secretary McAdoo that, In view of
the action Of the allies in putting cot
ton on the contraband list, he would,
II It became necessary, deposit $780,
100000 or more In gold in the Federal
Reserve Banks at Atlanta, Dallas and
Richmond for the purpose Of enabling
the reserve banks to rs-discount loans
on cotton secured by warehouse re-
ceipts made by national banks and
state banks belonging TO the federal
reserve system.
The gold would be deposited tenn
porarily, at least, without interest
charge. 1t was explained that IL it
appeared that the object could be ac-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
directly with national banks agreeing
to lend the money on cotton at rate
not to exceed 6 per cent.
Secretary McAdoo authorized the
announcement from his summer home
at North Haven, Me. II came at the
close of day of speculation In Of
fetal circles as to the nature of steps
which the entente powers have indi-
Gated they will take to uphold the cot.
ton market In the face of their con-
traband order.
"In the exercise of the discretion
given to him by law" read the treas
ury statement, Secretary McAdoO
said that the government will, for
the time being, charge no interest on
these deposits in Federal Reserve
Banks; that such action is justified
by the unusual situation respecting
cotton caused by the European war;
that he considers 1t his duty to use
every available means In his power to
help the cotton producer Of the south
in the circumstances; that 1t is mat.
ter of economic Importance to the en-
tire nation that those who have pro-
duced the cotton crop shall have a
fair opportunity TO dispose Of 1t grad
ually and in an orderly manner so
they may not be forced, through in
ability to market their cotton grad.

CLASSIFICATION OF RATES
Commissioner Declares Control Over
State Rates and Right to Fix
Minimum Are Necessary.

Washington. - Although attention
has been directed, in the decision OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the Western advance rate case, to
the fact that Commissioner Harlan dis
sented from the majority opinion and
took the view that the railroads should
have been granted all the advances
they sought, highly important legis-
lative program and inferential attack
on state rate-making bodies which is
included in his opinion has been over
looked to a degree. Commissioners
Harlan is manifestly dissatisfied with
the trend of railway regulation both
by federal and state authorities. He
indicates the opinion that state-made
rates in too many instances are unduly
low and asserts that II is necessary
that federal authority exercise great
er control.

DECLARES WAR ON TURKEY
Italy Recalls Ambassador from Porte
and Sends Big Force to Help
Allies at Dardanelles.

London. Marquis Di Garroni, Italian
ambassador to Turkey. on Aug. II
handed to the porte note declaring
Italy considered herself In state OF
war with Turkey and demanded his
passports, according to an official tele-
gram from Constantinople
The reasons given in the note for
Italy's declaration of war were the
support given by Turkey to the revolt
in Libya, and the prevention OF the
departure OF Italian residents from
Syria.
Although Italy declared war on Aus
tria May "a. there never has been
any declaration of war between Italy
and Germany. nor until now between
Italy and Turkey.
Friction between Turkey and Italy
however, has been in evidence since
shortly after the latter's entry into the
war. Early in June there were reports
that Italy consuls gradually we're leav'
ing Turkey. Later charges we're made
that the Ottoman government was pre-
venting consuls from leaving and that
similar coercion was being exerted
over Italian civilians
In official circles In Rome the feel
ing was that Italy's last note to Tur
key was almost an ultimatum. 1t then
was reported that declaration Of
war by Italy would be simultaneous
with the sending Of about 10000 men
to the aid OF the Franco-British force
on Gallipon peninsula
