ALLIES PROPOSE
 TO TAKE ALL THE
 U. 5. COTTON CROP
British and French Diplomats Eager to Remove Friction
 With This Government Over Restriction of Cotton Exports.

Washington, Aug. 25. Details of a plan whereby Great Britain and France hope to heal all the commercial differences with the United States over the blockade of neutral European ports have been made known here.
 Through the operation of this plan the allies expect to make a market for the entire cotton ex- port crop this year. and in ad- dition they will attempt to pur- chase all quantities of wheat. corn and packing house products which are available for export.
 The allies contemplate floating loans in this country during the ensuing year which will approxi- mate $1.000, 900, ,0O0. The ar. engagements for handling these loans are being Completed by J. P. Morgan & Co. of New York. They are the result of a series of conferences between MT. Morgan and the British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice.
 The money which is raised in this country will not be sent to Europe, but will be placed in the New York banks for the pur- chase of supplies. These SUD- plies will consist largely of cotton, grain and packing house products. The purchase of war materials a n d munitions will continue to be made by the Morgan firm. but through these new loans 1t is expected the healing of blockade differences will result.
 Under the new plan Great Britain and France will store much of the cotton in this count ry. drawing upon it from time as they need it. Also they will act as cotton distributors to the remainder of Europe.
 By this arrangement they will not have to seize American ,car- goes bound for neutral ports, but will be enabled to determine for themselves whether the pur- poses to which neutral European purchasers intend to apply cotton are to their advantages or not, and in determining this, differ ence between the allies and the United States will be eliminated.

Abel Kiviat and the rest of our fleet
milers by no means have a monopoly on
the chances TO upset the amateur record
for the mile now held by John Paul
Jones. More than one good Judge of
athletic flesh credit Davy Caldwell, the
great middle distance runner. who rep
resents the Boston Athletic association,
with the ability to run eight furiongs in
better than minutes IA % seconds.
Among these is Jack Moakley, who
coached Caldwell for two years when
Davy was a student at Cornell uni
versity and brought him 10 the form that
enabled him to run the half mile in the
wonderful time Of 1853 2-S Moakley is
quoted as saying that II he had known
as much about Caldwelrs ability when
he started working with him as he did
later on the Byefield farmer boy would
have run the nile regularly.
A study OF caldwells ability at the
various distances shows that he Is I'M
doubtedly one OF the greatest all around
runners in competition today In his
second year at Cornell Davy ran the 200
consistently under q seconds, ana he has
done fast 10 seconds In the quarter. -
and can do 30 seconds consistently.
Csidweil's ability at the half mile is too
vol known to need rooounting. In the
JASPER three-quarters" at the Manhat
tan college games last winter nc stood
Mike Devaney and Abel Kivist on their
heads, and this within four days after
Davanoy had turned a smashing 40 mile
at the Meadowbrook club games in Phila-
delphia. In view OF tho tremendous
strength in his running IT'S not hard 10
imagine his distance being stretched to
the mile without trouble.

Yale base ball administration before he
