lison D. EIDE, brother of Lieut.. EIDE,
commander of the submarine F4, lost
off Honolulu harbor on March 25th,

the safety of the crew.
Mr.. EIDE is en- route to Honolulu, and

BURNING COTTON
SURE INCENTIVE
BOOSTING PRICES

While the cotton futures market
showed a little backward inclination
yesterday, Americus warehousemen
feel that the position of the staple is
fully assured and, with a small acre
age and small crop this year much
higher values for the crop may reason
ably be expected.
When Germany's worldwide war
broke out, abnormal conditions were
expected, as far as the consumption
and exports of cotton were concerned,
and abnormally low prices reflected
these expectations. We find, instead,
that normal conditions are prevailing
with reference to consumption and ex-
ports, and we can therefore expect the
establishment of normal prices. The
normal range of values during recent
years has been between IL and ii
cents. No matter what the reduction
in acreage and fertilizers may be, crop
scares will bring high prices during
the growing season, just as they have
in most seasons, including the record
producing years. With 1,250,0O0 to l,
100000 bales going into explosives in
stead of clothes that can accumulate
on the shelves in dull3times, or be
worn two or three seasons instead of
one, the consumption is just that much
more telling, and it seems thoroughly
rational to expect better values before
another winter sets in.

The j. B. Greenhut Co. was long

Counsel for the Greenhut Company

Greenhut concern was so closely relat-

war.

But it has been the new stitch that

PARIS, April 9.-Today's official re-
ports indicates the spring campaign
against the Germans has opened in
earnest, and grim struggle during
last night and this morning has added
much new territory to the area con-
trolled by the armies of France These
gains are described as varying from =
few hundred yards in some places to
as much as two miles as others. All
of the territory was stubbornly con-
tested, and losses on both sides were
heavy.
Thousand Dead Upon Field.
At one point, unnamed in the French
official statement, but believed to be
in the vicinity of Verdun, the fighting
was especially severe, and attacked
followed attack before the Germans
finally retired, leaving full thousand
of their comrades dead upon the battle
field The men are believed to have
fought under personal command of the
Crown Prince Frederick during this
engagement, and French artillery
worked terrible havoc in their ranks.
Situation in Carpathians.
Special news dispatches from the
Carpathians this afternoon assert the
chief end sought by the Russians i'll
invading the Carpathians is to sever
Hungary from the Dual Monarchy il
a political sense, and some confrma-
tion if this theory is found in the
persistent reports that Italy is greatly
alarmed through fear that Austria
Hungary will conclude a separate
peace pact with Russia Such a move
would seriously interfere with Italy's
ambition to possess itself of Austrian
Adriatic territory, and may have an inn
portant bearing upon Italy's attitude
toward the allied nations.
Holland Not Yet Belligerent.
Today's early dispatches brought no
confirmation of yesterdays late rumors
that Holland had declared war against
Germany, and that a hundred thous-
and soldiers of Queen Helmina's ar,
my had marched across the interna
tional border as the result of neu
trality violations by Germany. News
dispatches from The Hague contain
no refereuce to the reported otbreak
of hostilities between the Dutch peO-
ple and their German neighbors, and
though the possibility of rupture be-
tween the nations is discussed here
with interest, the reports are generally
discredited.
