there may be accepted in it's fullest meaning that song of the angel choir on the plains of Judea:
 "Glory to God insthe Highest; On earth peace to men of good will. :"
 Nevertheless, we recognize that this time has not yet come, and that the passions of men still control to large extent, and that in the war spirit which pervades the world we must save ourselves from the possibility of such indescribable horrors as have swept over Europe.

Just RecOmpense

An Episcopal clergyman, rector of fashionable church in one of Bos- tons most exclusive suburbs, could not be bothered with the innumerable telephone calls that fall to one in his profession, so he had his name left out of the telephone book. A prom inent merchant of the same name, liv- ing in the same suburbs, was continu- ally annoyed by requests to officiate at funerals and baptisms. He went to the rector, told his troubles in a kindly way, and asked the parson to have his name put in the directory but without success.
 The merchant then determined to complain to the telephone company. As he was writing the letter one Sat urday evening, the telephone rang and the timid voice of young man asked if the Rev. MT. Blank would marry him at once. A happy thought came to the merchant:
 "No, Pm too damn busy writing my sermon," he replied.

Wilson. His letter shows his deep appreciation of the situation.
 On the same day in which this let ter was received from President Will son, the Manufacturers Record had a letter of equal heartiness from former President Roosevelt, in which, referr- ing to previous letter from him, he said:
 You are very welcome to make public that quotation from my letter. Let me add how pleased I am with the editorial you have just sent me, that of Nov. 11th."
 The quotation to which he refers was contained in a personal letter of Nov. Sth., in the course of which he said:
 q appreciate that editorial; most of all, l appreciate the fight you are making for Preparedness"
 It is especially gratifying to the Manufacturers Record, not from any narrow sectional point of view, but from that of a broad national spirit, that two men of such divergent views on many subjects as President Will son and former President Roosevelt should thus, the very same day, in let ters to the Manufacturers Record ex- press their concern over the situation. May this fact be indicative of the soli- dity of the country uniting men of all parties on this vital question.
 In the campaign which the Manu- facturers Record has been carrying on it has sought to unite people of all sections and all parties on this one great question. It is a question of vital interest to the nation, in which other sections are as deeply concern ed as is the South. Indeed, it seems to us to be more important to other sections, by reason of their greater wealth and greater population and more vulnerable position, than to the South itself. But if in the solution of this question there can be developed sincere and hearty cooperation in the fullest spirit of national life, sweeping away everf thought of sec tionalism in the broader development of the iron and steel and kindred in- terests in the South and Southwest, a very great blessing to the whole nation wiuld be the result. No longer would there be any feeling of anta- gonism between the industrial inter- ests or these sections, any more than there is today any antagonism be- tween the iron and steel interests of the East and of the West.
 If in broadening their horizon by broadening their own activities in the development of the South the fnan- cial and industrial leaders of other sections can be made to look upon the South with its vast resources as the nations greatest undeveloped asset, capable of being made one of the richest regions on earth, to the limit less benefit of the whole country, then the Manufacturers Record will have achieved the work that it has been en- deavoring to carry out in this cam paign; and in doing this, it will have inaugurated plan, and the only fea sible plan, by which there can be wrought out a well-rounded campaign giving assurance of preparedness in time of danger if we should, unfor- tunately, ever be engaged in war.
 The Manufacturers Record yields to no one in its desire for peace. It hopes that the time may come when from one end of the earth to the other

the entire peanut crop of East Texas. An authority is quoted who says that the peanut is the only product that can be converted into all the articles of firstclass menu-soup, meat, bread olive oil, milk, butter, hash, and other things with long names in strange lan- guages. Similar claims are made for the cotton seed. But why contention?
 Both can be, in fact are, produced in the South, and whether one below Mason and Dixon's line, or above it for that matter, prefers peanuts to cotton seed, or cotton seed to peanuts, in their respective by-products, as a steady diet, is purely matter of taste.

WRITES IN REGARDS TO OUR CAMPAIGN ABOUT NATIONAL
 PREPAREDNESS
Editorial Reprinted from Manufac-
 turers Record, Nov. 25, 1915.)

It has probably not often happened to any news paper in the land to re- ceive on the same day letters from the President of the United States and a former President discussing a policy for which that newspaper stands. But this has happened to the Manufactur- CTS Record, It is all the more inter- esting from the fact that the two men are of different parties.
 In reply to letter summing up some of the main points made in the recent discussion in it's columns in re- gard to the danger of having the iron and steel and munition business of the country dependent almost wholly upon Lake Superior ores, President Wilson expresses his appreciation of the gravity of the situation and his deep concern.
 Some of these facts had already been presented through the Manufacturers Record to members of the Cabinet, by whom they had been discussed. It seemed wise, however, in view of the importance of the situation, to con- oense into as brief a statement as possible the more important features or this situation and to bring them di- rectly to the attention of President

Imagine bush chrysanthemum IT feet in diameter and six feet high, with 1,500 yellow blooms upon it. Such a plant has the place of honor at this years exhibition of the New York Horticultural society having been talk en to the city of New York from a Hudson river estate, where it is the pride of it's owner and grower. Such a prodigy if grown in Southern Cali fornia, would not be so surprising. One of the debts owed by the Occi- dent to the Orient is the cultivation of this autumn flower originally brought to Europe from China, but better known now in varieties first bred in Japan. With such ample re- sources available to American Tourists and owners of estates it is not sur prising that records are being broken by them.

COTTON STEADY IN
 EARLY TRADING Weakness Shows Up Late in the Session-Net
 Loss

New Orleans, May 22.-While cotton was steady in the early trading today and went to an advance of to points. it de- veloped weakness late in the session, net decline of 8 to 10 points on the most active months and closed at a loss of to points. It was not an active session, trading being restricted to some extent by the holidays in Liverpool.
 The war activity in Italy was the main influence in the early trading and some buying was caused by the large mill talk ings for the week-273, 600 bales, against 161 900 this week last year. Exports for the week of 1s1.S3l bales. against So,9Sf this week last year also excited favorable comment.

WAR SPEC|ALT|ES MAKE GOOD GAINS Wall Street Thinks Italy's Entrance Will Shorten

New York. May 22.-Judging from the course of today's stock market, Wall street, or at least the speculative fraternity. is proceeding on the the ory that 1talys participation in the war is calculated to shorten the con flict. This theory is hardly to be rec onciled, however, with the fact that the most striking gains of the brief session were again made by the war srecialties. Crucible Steel, which made a maximum gain os 4ss points, con- tributed 25 per cent to the first hour s business. The entire list took part in the rise. which was most active in the first 30 minutes. after which trading dwindled, with some effect on values
 London was observing a holiday, so the local market was without guid- ance from that quarter.
 The statement of the president of the United States Steel corporation that the output of the company's plants has increased to 75 per cent as against 45 per cent last year, was doubtless responsible for the strength of steel shares. Mercantile agencies also re- ported more favorable conditions in general lines.

JOffre's Strategy

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 A reading of General French's most re- cent report convinces one thft while the
 British generals forces were of the great est assistance in checking the German
 advance on Paris, it was the strategy of General Joffre that converted what might have been mere temporary check into a definite retreat from the Marne to the Aisne. AS early as August 20 1t was evident to General French as well HIS to General Joffre that the great uet-
 man flanl<ing movement had failed, and that its retardation was but question Of time. It was at this juncture that Gen eral French paid n visit to General Joffre at the latter's headquarters, and, to use General F'renchs words. strongly rep resented my position to the French com mander in chief" Reading between the lines, you must infer that General French
 desired the assistance of the new sixth French army. which had taken up It's position on the extreme left of the al lies, in resisting the German advance. The result of the conference was that General French arranged with General Joffre to effect a further short retire. ment toward the line between Soissons and Compiegne.
 There must have been further confer
 ences between the two generals. Gen
 eral French not only effected the short retirement toward the line between Sols-
 sons and Compiegne,' but a week later

SHARP REACTION
 FOLLOWS ADVANCE Cotton in New York Market
 Closes Easy at a Decline

New York, May 22.-Rather a sharr reaction followed an early advance in the cotton market today and the close was easy at net decline of to 1G points.
 Reports of unsettled weather in the south and complaints that the renewed rain was delaying crop progress, par ticularly in Oklahoma. probably ac- counted for part of the early buying The market opened at an advance oi to points and sold about to 9 points net higher shortly after the call on covering and local bull support. The firmness of the early stock market may have contributed to the advance, and there were reports of a little southern buying through southern spot houses which was supposed to be undoing bedges against sales of actual. The de- mand, however. was limited and the advance was checked just above 10 cents for-October by scattered realizing for over the weekend, while selling late became rather more active on q bearish view of the visible supply fig ures and private preditions for clearing weather in the south. The official foe cast indicated clearing weather in the south. It also indicated clearing weather in most portions of the eastern belt af.- CT further showers tonight, but with generally unsettled weather today and tomorrow in western sections.
 Closing prices were the lowest of the day with active months showing re- actions of some IA or 15 points from the best. There were no cables as Liv- erpool was closed today and will remain closed on Monday, and general business here contiued very quiet. The visible supply showed a decrease of S3.S6s bales for the week comparing with 3 decrease of 1S3,764 for the same week last year. and spinners' takings were placed at only 203.264 bales agains, 21S,475 last year. The amount of cottor on shipboard awaiting clearance. how. ever, was reported considerably in ex. cess of last year.

MUSKRAT HUNTERS ARE
 ROUTED BY EAGLE
From the Globe-Del

TOIfi tuc dlOUc-DcIuOcTdL. New York-An eagle with a tremendous spread of wings viciously attacked VII. liam send John Simpson, brothers, of Par sppany, N. J., while they were seeking muskrats in the Great Peace meadows near Fairfield. Both young men were severely cut and bruised about their heads. faces and hands. while wartiing off the blows of the eagle as they retreated from the swamp.
 The brothers had caught and killed seven muskrats when they saw a large eagle circling above them and descendine lower and lower. As they watched the bird they could see her head lowered on long neck as she watched closely. Suddenly the eagle shot straight down and tried to sink her talons into William Simpsons head The blow knocked hin, down.
 Sweeping off a quarter of a mile. the ca gle rose to height of 100 feet and circled back, again shooting down upon the young men. This time John Simp- sons head was torn by her talons. As she circled again for another attack the brothers threw their muskrats high into the air, believing 1t was these she wanted But they were mistaken. Apparently
 the bird wished to drive them away from
 the locality of her nest. concealed in the swamp.
 Again and again she struck at the young men each time trying to use her
 beak. her talons and her wings. They struck at her with the pticks with which
 they had been killing muskrata, but only loosened a few feathers. They were
 knocked down several times and their clothes torn.
 Realizing that they could not drive off the bird, the two brothers ran down the swamp, but the eagle continued the at- tack until they reached the main road.
