cotton growers of the south by buying

turned over by the president to cot

which sold it at auction and made a
handsome profit. The president dld NOT

McClure's newspaper syndicate
prints a copyrighted story from Lon
don correspondent setting forth tnat
there is more feeling against America
in England than there Is In Germany
The correspondent says that ne was IN
Berlin not long ago and althougn ne
spoke English in public places the
Germans were not disposed to snow

friend talked German to him in a Lon
don restaurant, there developed al
most a riot. The correspondent also
tells of an American in London VINO
told him a story like this: Il belong
to two London clubs; but or late l
have found that there Is a disposition
on the part Of the British clubmem-
hers to show such excessive polite
ness as to create a preference TO re-
main away" Early in the war Amerl-
cans Of military age adopted a prac-
tice of wearing small American
flags in their buttonholes; but they DO
not do it any more; for the reason that
they are apt to be insulted. The COM
mon feeling Of Englishmen is that there
is as much reason why America should
go into this war as there is why Eng
land should be in 1t.
A Washington dispatch to the
New York Sun undertakes to outline
the very great existing interest In the
forthcoming American note to Great
Britain on the subject Of interference
with neutral commerce. The feellng
in England is that America is really
not serious about the matter; but
merely seeks to placate Germany on
account of the aggressive stand this
country took against the activities OF
arfyn nnnnP0e0
on all hands that England has violat-
ed all the recognized principles or IN
ternational law in her dealing with the
goods Of neutrals on the high seas, and
Germany is expecting America to be
fully as positive with Great Britain as
she has been with Germany. Indeed
il is said that extreme German Sentl-
ment will not be satisfied with any
thing short Of a threat of war on the
part Of America in case England does
not desist. England, 1T will be re-
membered, has already tried to justify
herself because Of Americas notifica-
ton to European powers during the
Civil war that they must not inter-
fere with the blockade Of southern
ports. It is not believed probable that
England will recede from the position
she has taken with regard to American
goods, and as to what will be the out
come Of the whole matter is quite
doubtful.
European governments, says q
Washington dispatch, are inquiring of
the United States what assurances the
newly recognized government in Mex
leo has given with respect to foreign
claims. It is generally understood
that the European powers will follow
the lead Of the American republics in
recognizing CarranZa, but it is known
that before taking the step they want
to know more specifically what set
tlement is to be made Of the huge
claims growing out of the revolution.
General Carranza has decided to ap-
point several mixed commissions to be
composed Of representatives Of the
interested nations in order that an
equitable settlement may be reached.
The question Of claims is related so
closely to the financial rehabilitation
Of Mexico that it is unlikely that the
United States government will press
it's claims until Mexican credit has
been firmly re-eStablished and ar
rangements made for payment Of the
southern republics national obiiga-
tions. AS yet no move has been made
by the CarranZa government to obtain
a loan, but it is considered certain
that in view of the condition Of Europ-
can markets, funds with which to
finance the new government will be
sought in the United States. The
sum needed has been variously esti-
mated from $100,000,000 to $300,000,-
900.
Word has been received Of the

the oldest and one of the most noted
Indian fighters in the United States,

Enos was a young man he became

feat in each of the states 81 counties
