In the first place Tom my Burns was too small man to withstand the present race of giants in the ring He was only five feet seven inches in height and in his best condition was hardly more than 1S0 pounds in weight While Johnson stands six feet and a half inch He weighs about 22O or 225 pounds in proper form.
 But it was cinch for Johnson to beat Burns by his superior height weight, strength and reach alone. But 1t took 14 rounds for Jack to accom- plish the cinch at that. Poor Tommy was game to the core and only stop ped when the police jumped into the ring and broke the two men apart.
 Of course it was another cinch for Johnson 10 K. O. Jim Jeffries at Reno. The latter was practically gone. Five years of the gay and festive life out side the ring made Jeff an easy mark indeed for the dushy warrior

say:
"First-you will hear those who
are opposed to the market say that
there is no short interest, while in
realty the short interest is enormous.
America next season will consume
between 6 " to million bales of
cotton. Europe takes 65 pc. cent OF
our cotton, and the short interest in
Europe will be even greater than in
America for the Simplc reason there
has been less cotton bought by the
mills up to date than ever before in
my recollection. Therefore, you can
certainly see that the short interest
in actual cotton is the most enor-
nous in the history of the cotton
trade.
THE situation suggests that the
mills must furnish an enormous
quantity of goods, both for actual
use and for replenishment of the de-
pleted stocks. To do this they must
buy cotton. THOR buying is going

West who have, in the past few years,
been making little or no money, who
arc today running at capacity and are
in a position to meke good divi-
bends, as Is shown by the action of
their stocks on the Board of Stock
Exchange.
I'm addition 10 this, we have rails
ed this year around one billion BUSH
els of wheat and three billion bushels
of corn and one and half billion
bushels of oats. With this condi-
ticn, and the amount of stuff that
this country will have to sell, can
sec nothing but big business for
America in the next year or two, and
cotton cannot fail to share in this
prosperity.
The stock of cotton goods in the
United States is practically at mini
mum. Some mills have stocks, but
The majority of them have not and
the merchants, both wholesalers and
retailers, have the smallest stocks
they have carried in decade.
I'm addition TO this it Ray be
mentioned that Europe will use a
great deal more cotton goods in the
future, at least in the next few
years, than they haye in the past for
the simple reason that a great many
people in Europe whose fortunes
have been reduced b. this war, who
have formerly worn silk and WOODEN
fabrics, will now buy cotton goods.
Silr, wool and jutc have q substi-
tute in cotton, but cotton has no sub :
stitute. You can put cotton in
wooden goods and mix it with silk,
but you would never sell cotton
goods as cotton goods mixed with
silk. On account of the war. all
nations have been economizing since

suMMAn, OF THE WAR NEWS,

SUMMARY OF THE WAR NEWS
A British battle cruiser squadron
under Vice. Admiral Sir David Beatty
met yesterday German squadron OF
three battle cruisers one armored cruiser
and smaller ships steaming through tho
North Sea evidently for another raid
on England. In the running fight that
followed the German armored cruiser
Bluecher was sunk and two other Ger
man vessels were damaged, but escaped
at top speed through a mine field. The
British ships escaped virtually unhurt
and the only casualties reported are
eleven men wounded on the battle
cruiser Lion.
The severest fighting on tho western
front is now going on at Steinbach.

enforced, are attacking the hill at Hart

Moltke remained TO help her they would
most assuredly have shared her fate
AS II was, the sacrifice OF the Bluecher
probably saved them, allowing them to
make or while the British ships were
settling her account, but even II this
vessel was left to the slower British ships
while the twenty-eight knotters kept up
the pursuit OF the others the result would
probably have been the same. since there
IS little to choose in speed between the first
three ships In either OF the lists Nearly
four hours elapsed before the Bluecher
was accounted for. II may at first seem
an uuduly long interval. hut IL represents
4 distance OF less than thirteen miles, the
four hours difference between IA 20 and a
- kuo. ship. Further, Admiral Beatty,
confident Of being able to inilict serious
loss upon the enemy. probably pursued
the same tactics as Admiral Sturdee at
the Falklands, keeping the range to the
turthest possible extreme, 50 as to be
able To take the fullest advantage of the
superior oa!!STo and rs=ss.as To7sor os his
guns and render the Germans corre-
spondingly ineffective.
The Bluecher was the largest of All
and the newest armored vessel yet lost
In the war All her main armor has a
thickness Of six inches. She is estimated
20 have cost Si,2jO,0OO. She is the ffth
German armorcd cruiser to be sent to the
bottom, and OF this type the enemy has
now left only four out Of the nine with
which she began the war. Four out Of
the i've that were sunk were the newest
OF the lot, having been launched between
1905 and 1905"
Tho naval expert OF tho Times thinks
the Germans had prepared to repeat the
scarborough raid on a much larger scale
and at longer distance from their base
In one large armorcd cruiser sunk and
two battle cruisers damaged the expert
finds sufficient evidence that the British
navy Is alert and able To deal with the
Germans whenever opportunity offers, He
adds.
The names OF the four German crus-
ers include all the known effective ves-
sells Of this class In German waters, with
the exception Of the Won Der Tam, which
was reported a few days ago as having
sustained an injury of some sort. Now
that the Bluocher Is sunk and Admiral
| Beatty reports two others to be seri-
ously damaged the strength OF the Ger
man battle fleet In this respect has been
reduced to II couple OF ships"
