w. P. G. Harding, Of the Federal
reserve board, says a Washington dis
patch, has received preliminary re-
ports Of warehouse facilities in the
south for handling the cotton crop
which are said to be adequate. Officials
are anxiously awaiting warehouse
legislation in Georgia and Alabama
They pointed out that since South
Carolina, Texas and Louisiana had
laws making warehouse receipts para
mount leins against cotton on which
loans are made, bankers don't fear to
lend money. Georgia and Alabama
have not yet enacted such laws.
The dry-wet fight has made its ap-
pearance in a new quarter, says
Washington dispatch. After a long
struggle it has been decided to drop
whisky" and brandy from the next
issue of the United States pharmaco-
poeia, which is the acknowledged OF
fetal and standard list OF drugs.
Through this action whisky and oran-
DIV would seem to have lost their
standing as drugs" Some fear has
been expressed by druggists that this
elimination may make 1t impossible
for drug stores after January l next
to sell whisky or brandy unless they
take out a saloon license, but officials
at Washington do not share this view.
Fifty scientists who constitute COM
mittee to revise the pharmacopoeia
have voted by the narrow margin OF

cants.
German hate scarcely surpasses
British hate now. says a London dis
patch. A London wine merchant
named Ehrmann, about seventy years
old, who has lived in England all his
life and been a naturalized citizen
fifty years, came before the Norwich
county court and asked enforcement OF
debt for $40. Judge Mulligan re-
fused to hear the case at first and
Ehrmann appealed to a higher court.
Then Judge Mulligan did hear the case
and delivered a remarkably written
Judgment in which he used the phrases
"the taint Of the Huns" and "the
same dog with another collar" When
the facts were brought to the attention
Of the lord chief justice, he lectured
Judge Mulligan severely, telling him
the judicial bench was scarcely the
place from which to give expression
to ones personal feelings, particularly
when they are directed against a per-
son who is entitled to the rights Of
British subject
London. July 12: Sir Henry Dal-
ziel, Liberal member Of parliament for
Kirkcaldyburghs, and d. F. Penny
father, a Unionist member from Liv-
erpool, have again brought the cotton
discussion to the fore by insisting in
the house Of commons that the Brit
ish government should make clear
why it has not declared cotton con-
traband. Failure so to do, it was
pointed out, was prolonging the war,
inasmuch as cotton, so vital to the
manufacture of explosives, was con-
tiHually reaching Germany through
neutral countries. Lord Robert Cecil,
parliamentary underSecretary of for
eign affairs, in reply said the govern
rnent must consider the interest of
neutrals and that the present plans to
keep cotton out of Germany were con-
sidered to be effective. If it were
shown conclusively that cotton still
was going into Germany, he added,
the government would take any steps
necessary to check it.
Warning to look out for bombs
concealed in their holds was flashed
last Sunday night from the naval
wireless towers at Arlington to two
ships at sea which sailed from New
Orleans July s. Both the vessels, the
British steamship Howthhead and
Baron Napier, cleared with cargoes
Of mules for the British army July 8,
and sailed the next day, the former
for Dublin and Belfast via Norfolk.
and the latter direct for Avonmouth.
Sending Of the warning was ordered
by Secretary Daniels after receipt Of a
telegram from a New Orleans news
paper saying a letter to that paper

plosives had been placed aboard these
vessels. Radio messages were sent
broadcast over the sea, and even If 1t
is not picked up directly by the Baron
Napier or the Howthhead, some other
ship in the neighborhood may relay
it. Naval officials thought that re-
sponses would be caught by some Of
the wireless stations along the Allan
tic coast yesterday.
According to the reports of the
past few days there has been a dis
tinct lull in the fighting in the vari-
Gus European war areas during the
past week, compared with the fierce
conflicts of the weeks previous. After
the Germans took Lemberg, they con-
tinued to advance into Russia in a
manner that seemed to indicate an
intention to crush the Russian armies
before turning back. The Russians,
however, were able to concentrate re-
Inducements in sufficient numbers to
hold the Germans in check and the
understanding is now that the Ger
mans have entrenched for the de-
fensive and propose to hold their
ground while they send large re-en-
