Driven from their lucrative and &C
customed haunts at Monte Carlo, Lon
don. Paris, Berlin and like famed con-
tinental resorts, the crooks have
swooped down and settled upon New
York as the locust plague once swept
the Kansas prairies.
They're clever crew, for the most
part; barring the international strong
arm man and second-story worker,
who is just a prosperous low-brow.
It's the educated. crafty, shrewd men
and women crooks white-collar

ally the merchants of other nations be-

was more important. insisted upon go

Thus We find that in 1890. out of a
total American export of about 2.642,-

to England. while in 1903. out of 3.452.-

100000 Cotton is the Likelihood of half

American experts in England who

I cannot tell he said. from day to

to be with me-
English operatives grow up in the
industry. In my own mills l have had
several generations of the same fami-
lies. Only man who is engaged in
the business of spinning and weaving
can understand the value of this con-
tinuity. Then l am firmly convinced,
after a great deal of investigation, that
nowhere in the United States is there
to be found an ideal climate for spin

had the advantage of a long start be-
cause of the genius of her early in

British manufa cturers believe that the

1T is a fascinating romance, the de-
velopment of Eng1ands cotton weaving
industry, leading up to her audacious
attempt, in the middle of the greatest
war she has ever waged to capture the
control of the worlds supply of raw
cotton. 1t is typical, too. of the un-
canny foresight that has played SO
large part in the commercial growth
of John Bull. England suffers from Il
peculiar form of commercial astigma-
tism which, although it prevents her
seeing month or a year ahead. en-
ables her to see a decade or gener-
alton or a couple of hundred years
ahead with a clearness of vision un-
equaled by any other people.
Cotton spinning and weaving was a
late conner to England. Five centuries
before Christ it was general through
use. by the Indians. of "a wool of a
finer and better quality than that of

early as 1860 about 10000 people We're

Undoubtedly England owes her cotton
goods supremacy today to the wonder
