TO BAR AERO ATTACKS

VENICE. May 2s.-The military au-
thorities have given orders that no
lights be displayed in Venice between
sunset and sunrise that can be seen
from above the city. This is measure
of protection against attack by aero
plane.
The aspect of Venice at night has
been changed by this morning. The
people of Venice are normally much
abroad at night. but now they are
staying up even later than usual. They
enjoy the aspect of the city without
light. and are all eagerly looking into
the air for the sight of an Austrian
aeroplane. Nobody seems to fear a
visit from these machines.
Whenever a sailor or a soldier is
seen on the street he is appIauded
The people greet the defenders Of the
kingdom heartily and call thir wishes
for success against the enemy.

Trading More Apathetic.
COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 36-The cotton
market was unsettled and irregular
during today's early trading. The
opening was 8 to points lower. in re-
sponse to lower cables and a renewal
OF the scattering liquidation which de-
veloped here yesterday. Rumors that
the steamer Nebraskan had been dam
aged off the Irish coast caused more
or less nervousness, and fluctuations
right after the call carried the active
months about s to 9 points net lower.
There was little Wall street buying
on the decline, but houses with foreign
connections had a few selling orders
and rallies were barely maintained.
Futures opened steady; July. 9.28;
October, 9.67: December. 9.SS; January.
$50; March, 10.15.
Proft-taking by shorts checked the
downward movement, and by noon this
buying was strong enough to bring about
q recovery Of 8 points.

BETWEEN PRESIDENT
AND WAR SECRETARY

Washington, Sept 1s.---Joseph P
Tumulty. Secretary to the President,
denied today that the President ana
secretary of War Garrison are In a
disagreement on the subject of ma
tionai defense. 1t was explained by
Mr.. Tumulty that final agreement on
the defense program. has not been
reached by the President and his ad-
ylsers. aid that reports that there are
dinerences within the administration
circle on the question are in error.
Secretary Garrison has on number
OF occasions deprecated the publica-
ton OF reports relative to his defense
plans. taking the position that iudg-
ment should be withheld until ne had
given out the official version. In de-
nying the reports that the President
AMI the Secretary of War have dis
agreed on the War Department plans
TO siren CITIZEN the mobile army and
the c"ast defenses, Mr. Tumulty sug-
gested that ii would be well for the
p3bic and newspapers to await the
disclosure of the President program
before venturing criticisms.
