BIG COTTON LOAN FUND NOT
NEEDED.
Only $4,000 Asked. Says Report
May Not Call for Any
Subscriptions.

Washington, Feb. 8.-LOans I'M
der the 100000 cotton fund
plan have been closed and the plan
virtually ended in its existence to-
night with an announcement from
the Central Committee-the Federal
Reserve Board, acting as individuals
that subscriptions probably would
not be called for. Applications
amounted to only $4,000 and this
was not obtained from the fund but
elsewhere on notes and collateral OF
fered with the applications.
Subscribers, the Central Commit
tee points out, have not been releas-
ed from liability for their proportion
ate share of the $4,000 but II all
the loans are paid. subscriptions Will
not be needed.
The announcement says that sub
scriptions aggregated $1O,O36, 100,
from 487 banks, 185 firms and II
individuals, ranging from 500 to
$5,OOO,0O0, and representing 81
Columbia.
"The beneficial effects of the fund, !"
says the announcement, "are not to
be measured by the small amounts
actually loaned. Its benefits consist
ed largely in the public knowledge
that there was source of assistance
which could be confidently looked
to and awaited Of. When the organi-
cation of the cotton loan fund was
undertaken, the exchanges were clos
ed, fixed quotations for cotton were
unobtainable, demand for the staple
was light and sales were being made
in some instances at prices as low
as five cents pound. The buying
movement which set in following the
establishment of this fund has car
ried prices up to eight cents and ex-
ports since December /, have exceed
ed those for the same period Of q
year ago."
The committee expresses its thanks
to bankers and business men active
in working out DEATHS and says the
chairman has addressed letters to
state committee chairmen thanking
them for assistance.

NURSE MANGLED UNDER WHEEL
OF RACING AUTO,
Miss Virginia Rehage, Of the Charity
Hospital, Struck as She
Leaves Street Car.

New Orleans, Feb. 9.-Four fee
from where she had alighted from
a st. Charles belt car, on the rppe
side of Tulane Avenue, in front o
the main entrance Of the CHARITY
Hospital, where she is a nurse, Mis-
Virginia Rehage, % years old, wa.
knocked down and run over Sunda,
afternoon by big automobile car
rying three men. Her injuries In
clude severe scalp wound, concus
sion of the brain, fracture OF severa
ribs and the right thigh, and broker
leg below the knee. The men in the
car escaped.
AS the car struck Miss Rehage, thl
chauffeur, witnesses agree, increas-
ed the speed of his wild drive in Tu.
lane avenue toward the river. A
dense cloud Of dust swirling in the
wake of the flying machine made
difficult the reading of the, auto
mobiles license plate and the fea.
lures of its occupants. Every ga
rage in the city is being searched by
the police for car similar TO the
one described by witnesses of Miss
Rehage's injury.
Miss Rehage was en- route from
her home, 525 South Pierce street,
to the hospital for night duty. The
St. Charles belt car in which she
rode stopped in front of the institu-
ton for her to alight. She had tax
en- about four steps when the big
machine, without warning, it is said,
bore down upon her. She was crush
ed beneath the automobile before
the street car from which she had
alighted had been started on its way.
Fernand Foret, gatekeeper at the
hospital, and Elphege Bourgeois,
conductor of the street car, lifted the
injured woman from the street aud
carried her into the hospital. DR..
C. G. Cole, of the hospital staff, a
witness to the accident, rendered
medical aid to Miss Rehage before
she was carried into the institution.
Foret, Bourgeois and E.. j. La
mothe, 1916 Vaudeville street, who
was standing at Tulane avenue aud
Howard street at the time of the ac-
cident, are Of the opinion that the
body Of the automobile was painted
gray, trimmed in black. DIR. Cole
believes the body of the car is black.
All agree that there was one man
in the front of the car, and two in
thee rar. They are unanimous IN
the statement that the driver increas-
ed the speed of the car, which
seemed about 40 miles an hour, after
it struck Miss Rehage.
Miss Nettie Fertel was standing at
Tulane avenue and South Rampant
street, a few minutes after the in
jury of Miss Rehage, when big gray
automobile, trimmed in black, car
rying three men, tore into and up
South Rampant street from Tulane
avenue at a law-breaking speed.
In making the turn, Miss Fertel says,
the car ran over pile of old lumber
on the lakes de of the intersection,
skidded across the street, and mar
rowly escaped collision with a tele-
phone pole, on the river side of RAM
part street. It continued up Ram
part street until Miss Fertel lost
sight Of it.

MACHINE GUNS TO
 D|SPLACE RIFLES

Military experts of Rotterdam think it is probable the present war will see the end of the rifle as the principal weapon of infantry.
 According to German agents in Hol- land, the German army is rapidly sub stituting men with machine guns in place of rifles. Infantry so armed, and protected by concrete works and wire entanglements can hold off forces far superior to them in numbers. The tendency is to bring up main forces of infantry only in emergencies.
 At the beginning of the war Germany was credited with having 5o,0OO ma chine guns. Notwithstanding the loss of many of these weapons, the fac tories have been working day and night and it is now asserted that there are 100000 of them in use.
 A German agent in Rotterdam said:
 "A military science develops so rap idly in times of actual war that the weapon of today is soon discarded and something better taken up The great est asset Germany possesses is her ability to see ahead and make today the weapon of tomorrow
 With the enemy the rifle is a sort of fetish. The English are highly elated because the war has shown that their men can shoot straighter and quicker than the Germans. There is little cause the time spent in training their troops is spent in teaching them the con struction and use of the rifle, while

our men are being taught how to handle and serve the machine gun.
 "The present war will see the end of many things, as it has seen the birth may not disappear before peace is signed it's doom as the principal arm of infantry is sounded
 Where is there any sound argument against the gradual substitution of the light machine gun for the rife? After all, a Maxium is merely an improved automatic rife with a water jacket A man who could fire a kicking gun of the period of 1915 could fire and carry a Maxim with less effort Are we not told that in the old days the concen- trated fire on one side of an English square emptied less than score of French saddles at effective range? One modern machine gun would have wiped out the whole squadron.
 "In modern warfare, and particularly in trench warfare, the soldier who can fire a hundred shots to his opponents five has ninety five chances of coming out unscathed. The German soldier prefers the machine gun to the rife; it enables them to sit down confort- ably and squirt death at the foe as water is squirted through a hose, and and security which the possession of a superior weapon always brings to the fighting man"

Long before California was more than a myth, before the Vests greatest river, the Columbia, was dis covered, before there was a United States, Alaska had been partially ex- plored and settled. If Chinese records are to be believed, the discovery of Alaska antedates the journeys of the Norsemen to Greenland and across the Chinese Buddhist priest traversed the Alaskan shore in 499 A. D. In I'll the Cossacks of Russia were hunting sable in Alaska. In 1724 Peter the Great with his own hand wrote the instruction for the expedition that led to the discovery and exploration of Boring sea, and in the following century Spanish, English and French navigators again and again headed for the Alaskan coast in a vain effort to find the Northwest Passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The record of these explorations constitutes a most important phase in the history of America
 It is gratifying to learn that, coin cident with the beginning of construc- tion on the government railway, Alaska is to receive a practically complete li- brary covering its entire history from the Middle Ages to the present. James Wickersham, Alaskas territorial dele gate in congress, with several asso- ciates, has collected from the libraries of half dozen European countries every known work on early Alaska explorations, substituting photographic copies wen the original could not be obtained. In addition this library has been enriched by the addition of mod ern books, of magazine and newspaper articles until it comprises perma- nent record of almost every printed utterance of Alaska. To the future historian this collection will be fully

SUEz CANAL
 IN WAR TIME

Though Germany's great mercantile
 heet the managers of which had made
 elaborate plans for inaugurating the
 Panama canal, is tied up by the war,
 the new waterway is doing business in excess of estimates for the first year
 or two of operation; and part of this unexpected traffic is due to the very catastrophe which has deprived the canal of much that had been confi- dently counted on. Te Suez canal in the same way, has already lost an enormous revenue by disappearance from that trade route of German and Austrian ships, normally amounting to a million and one-half tons The an nual report for the calendar year 1914 shows, nevertheless, that it has en- joyed new business that is directly due to a state of war which involves it's best paying customers
 At Panama, much of the unlocked for volume of traffic Is in war SUD- plies, but at Suez it has been even more of military character. The report shows that all records have been broken for passengers sailing the canal, 391 TIP Needless to explain, most of the passengers" were soldiers. So, also, naval tonnage in ex- traordinary volume compensated for a part of the loss in mer- cantile tonnage The total receipts were more than s24.OO0,O0O, the fall ing off being less than a million, as to the year before, and less than had beeen expected, as the ac- count says.-Worlds Work.
