 At recruiting meeting in Vice Regal lodge at Dublin, attended by Baron Wom- borne lord lieutenant of Ireland and John Redmond, the nationalist leader it was decided that the lord lieutenant should form department for recruiting for Ireland and he himself take the posi- tion of director, a chief organizer being appointed to work in cooperation ws,n the military.
 Earl Kitchener, secretary of state for war; in a letter which was read at the meeting, paid tribute to the bravery, gallantry and exploits of the Irish sol- diers. He expressed confidence from his sclose association with the country that the Irishman never would leave them without endorsements.
 It was stated that the number of Irish recruits was s1,000, exclusive of those en- listed in England and Scotland and the Irish reservists who joined on mobiliza- tiOn.

Nashville, October -(SpeciaL)-Al- have unquestionably made some slight inipr ovement in both individual and team play, the glaring defects in the offensive work of the forwards and the failure to develop capable running mate for Cap tain Cohen have become so perplexing a problem to the coaches that the pro- gr ess made is overshadowed by the faults that are yet to be overcome. Up to the pl esent time no real strong team has been showing of the candidates against the foes. who have proven unexpectedly weak, can hardly be correctly gauged.
 Confronted with the failure of all the end candidates, McGugn has upset the line and shifted Pryor Williams, a fresh man, from center to end, giving the snap per back position to Reyer, a 195-pound tackle. Williams single asset is his strength and weight and an earnestness tLat has enabled him thus far to grasp the fundamental principles of the game. although he is utterly lacking in the science of end play The constant shift ins in the makeup of the eleven and the necessity for drilling the rudiments of football into the candidates has retard- ed all efforts to perfect team play or to work out any methods of open play with which the Commodores in times past came to be successful.
 In the games so far nothing sut straight football has been attempted and againsi forward passing the eleven has looked woefully weak for the reason that nc opI pIortunity has been offered to the coaches to give attention to defense for the air line device, so busiiy engaged haze they been in hammering the funda.

YEARS COTTON CROP
 MAY NOT REACH TEN. MILLION BALE MARK
Congressman Heflin Makes Statement Regarding Disposal of SOuth's
 Cotton

Washington, October 15.-(Special) Representative Heflin of Alabama, a member of the committee on agriculture, gave out the following statement today regarding cotton and cotton seed:
 We have exported more than 5000. 900 bales of cotton since August of last year and the cotton spindles of the Uni ted States have consumed 6,Qoo,0O0 bales The cotton crop of 1915 will not be over lOOO0,000 bales. I don't believe that it will reach 100000 bales Our cotton mills will consume more than 60O0.OOo bales Of this crop and if the war con- tinues American powder mills will con- sume over 100000 bales. That will leave not more than 100000 bales of this crop to be exported-7.0 100000 bales short of the amount exported up to September 30, 1915. So cotton for spinning purposes smokeless powder and other explosives will be in greater demand than ever be- fore.
 Cotton prices are bound to be higher: higher than at any time since the war between the states. The European coun- tries are now paying 35 cents for dry batteries that used to sell for 15 cents They are now paying Sl.75 per pound Tor picric acid, used in making ex- plosives. It used to sell for 8 cents Der pound; and they are going to pay, and ought to pay, 20 cents a pound for cot ton and they will pay that before very long.
 Germany is already in the southern market buying and storing cotton for fu- ture use. It will require more than 800 GOO bales of cotton linters for the manu- fracture of powder and high explosive shells for our army and navy. The cot ton holding movement will become gen. eral in the south before very long and then prices will soar. I shall not be surprised to see cotton seed selling at $60 ton before Christmas. Cotton seed meal is selling as high as s36 a ton and some are asking $40. Cotton seed oil has advanced in price and is in great demand. Cotton seed hulls are being used more extensively than ever and the linters cut from the seed are being con sumed more rapidly than ever before, when bleached linters sell for 10 cents per pound. I am expecting to see $100 and more for a bale of cotton and s6O and $65 for ton of seed.''

"POtash & PerImutter"

The play based on the famous Pot
 ash and Perlmutter" stories, written by Montague Glass for the Saturday
 Evening Post was presented at the
 Jefferson theatre last night for it's sec
 ond engagement. which will include
 matinee this afternoon and another
 performance tonight.
 Unlike many adaptations of this kind, Potash and Perlmutter' has been a tremendous success and the two characters created by the genius of MT. Glass, along with many others appearing in his stories, have been re- produced on the stage with great fidel- ity, to such an extent that the play is one of the most amusing given to the public in years. MT. Glass has succeeded admirably in making Abe Potash and Mawruss Perlmutter ex : hibit all the kindly and lovable traits of Jewish character, together with the many laughable crotchets for which the race is noted, but he has depicted them in such a way that they evoke hearty laughter without inviting ridicule. The loyalty of Abe and Mawruss to
 each other. despite their petty squab-
 bles, their rugged honesty in grave business crisis and the love of Abe Potash for his daughter. as well as the sacrifices the partners make to save, as they believe. the life of a young Russian Jew in their employ, who is accused of a murder in Russia, are such fine tributes to Jewish char | acter~ that they exert a very strong
 appeal and quickly create a sympa-
 thetic interest in the affairs of the l two merchants
 l The comedy is, of course, quite ir- | resistible and one may witness the l play second or a third time without being bored either by the lines or the
 situations. There is not a series of in- cidents loosely strung together, but a well knit plot. which adds consider l ably to the enjoyment of the play. | Charles Lipscomb is again seen as Mauruss, in which part he is beyond criticism, and if memory is not at fault Nat $. Jerome is the same Potash seen l here last season. Both men are fine character actors. admirable foils to I each other. and finished in their re- l spective roles. Violet Barney. a state | ly blonde who has a becoming idea of
 dress apart from her proficiency in that
 art as designer to the firm of Potash and Perlmutter, played Ruth Gold
 man with sympathy and charm. David
 c. Werner as Mark Pasinsky, David Leonard as Boris Andrieff, Arthur | Brams as Mozart Rabiner. Josephine | Robison a Mrs. Potash and Anna Ben nett as Irma Potash were other mem-
 bers of we'll balanced company who acquitted themselves with credit. Potash and Perlmutter' is unique | contribution to the stage and a play i that no one who enjoys a hearty laugh with not a little of what the press agen calls "heart interest" can afford l to miss.
 | The matinee this afternoon andsper-
 formance tonight will end the engage ment at the Jefferson.

"Daddy Long-Legs"

Daddy Long-LRgs. which comes to the Jefferson for two nights on Monday evening, has been described by many re- viewers as "a comedy that breathes the spirit of youth' It is tender love story built around quaint little Cinderella in real life; a girl whose fancy creates world of beauty and tenderness and builds it so well that 1t displaces hard realities. The three big acts of Daddy Long-Legs'' tells how an orphans dream comes true through the reckless gener- osity of a modern Prince Charming. Nat urally, a subsequent romance between Judy and her mysterious benefactor pro- vides the scenes of exquisite sentiment that give the play its irresistible charm. A Tuesday matinee Is announced.
