United States Warns Both Eng
land and Germany.
FROWNs ON USE OF FLAG
England Notified That This Country
Objects To Having its Flag Used
As Shield Because Our Own Ships
Are Thereby ImperiIed-Germany Is
Warned Against Committing Any
Violations.

Washington, d. C.-Notes sent to
Great Britain and Germany and made
public by the State Department, indi-
! cate the possibility of crisis in the
efforts of the United States govern
ment to maintain neutrality toward
the European belligerents.
| In its note to Great Britain on the
deceptive use by British vessels of the
American flag, the State Department
lsays:
"The government of the United
! States therefore trusts that his
Majesty's government will do all in
their power to restrain vessels of
British nationality from the deceptive
use of the bag of the United States
in the sea area defined in the Ger
man declaration, since such practice
would greatly endanger the vessels of
friendly power navigating those
waters, and would even seem to Inn
pose upon the government of Great
Britain a measure of responsibility for
the loss of American lives and vessels
in case of an attack by a German
naval force.'
Sharp Warning To Germany.
In the note to Germany the Ger
man government is informed that the
United States would consider 1t IAN
indefensible violation Of neutral
rights" if commanders of German yes
sells of war should act upon the pre-
sumption that the flag of the United
States was notbeing used in good faith
and should destroy on the high seas
an American vessel or the lives of
American citizens.
Then this warning is given to Ger
many: IF such a deplorable situation
should arise, the Imperial German
government can readily appreciate
that the government of the United
States would be constrained to hold
the Imperial German government to a
strict accountability for such acts of
their naval authorities and to take any
steps it might be necessary to take to
safeguard American lives and property
and to secure to American citizens the
| full enjoyment of their acknowledged
rights on the high seas"
England Expected To Give In.
The reply of Great Britain is not
expected to raiset an issue between
the two governments, because it is
generally regarded as inconceivable
that Great Britain should seek to
maintain the right of her vessels to
use the flag of the United States de-
spite the United States protest. And
if Great Britain comedies that the de-
ceptive use of the American nag is
wrong, she must, in the opinion Of
State Department officials. express her
regret that justifiable cause of COM
plant has been given and pledge her
self to do all that she can to avoid
such cause of offense and danger in
the future.
But it is admitted that the reply
which Germany will make to this gov
ernment's representations will be
awaited with some concern.
If Germany shall refuse to recede
from her position that neutral vessels

CAWLEY JAILED
upon CRIMINAL
CHARGES MADE
ASHBURN FUGITIVE CAUGHT
LAST NIGHT AND is BEING HELD
IN DOUGHERTY JAIL TO AWAIT
TRIAL FOR ALLEGED ATTACK
ON ASHBURN YOUNG WOMAN

ASHBURN, Ca, Sept. ass. W
Cawley, local grocer and cotton buy
er, for whom warrant was sworr
out by a we'll known young lady OF
this place, charging attempted assault
was placed under arrest and lodged
in the Albany Jail at a late hour last
night, after a sensational dash of 80
miles to safety.
The car bearing Cawley was hotly
pursued by several large cars heavily
loaded with men who were determined
that he should not escape.
The Jail doors closed on Cawley just
a few minutes before the pursuers ar
rived, but when told that they would
not be permitted to see Cawley they
made no attempt to force an entrance.
Shortly before o'clock last night
Sheriff Jarman, of this county, stated
that bond which would be acceptable
to him had been presented, and it is
thought Cawley will be released from
the Albany Jail without delay. 1t Is
not known whether he will return to
Ashburn.
While public feeling has subsidized to
some extent, it is felt that it would not
be wise for him to return. The young
woman attacked is still in serious
but not critical condition.

MANY PLAYING
FUTURES CAME
BUYING COTTON
SPIRIT OF CHANCE IN EVIDENCE
VERY LARGELY.

In Americas, as probably In every
town in the South, there are men i'm
bued with the spirit of speculation who
are toying with the tiger by playing
the market" in buying cotton futures.
So far the game has gone their way,
and they are winners in considerable
amount But the gent" up north is
doing the dealing from a marked deck
and with aces up his sleeve, as the
novices here may soon discover to
their regret. 1t is his game, and in
the end he always wins.
The man who holds on too long to
his actual cotton is also taking Ions
chances with the market. Better sell
some of it while things are good.
1t is one thing to buy market up
and another thing to realize the ap-
parent profit resulting. In order to
come out most successfully, the long
interests will have to find somebody
else to take the load as they let go
Skillfully managed, this process is
wroked while the market seems the
strongest AID most certain to go
higher.
The first thing the new investor
knows, he will find himself long" of
the market around the top with big
loss incurred SO quickly he has n3
chance to escape.
For speculative advances are always
attended by reactions. When the re
action comes, the spot markets will
weaker also.
Much higher prices are possible
many conservative observers think
they are very probable; but for all
that they must not be expected til
come all at once.
And just as soon as a decided reac-
ton comes on the market, confidence
will be shaken. A man who owns his
cotton and who cana afford to do so.
would be warranted in holding for the
boom which is expected later, with
the end of the war, if not sooner.
But the man who needs to sell in
the near future might do we'll to take
advantage of times like the present.
Nobody is likely to be hurt much by
selling a little of his cotton at 12l
cents, and some might we'll be seld SO
as to make it easier to carry the rest,
if it be so desired And certainly the
farmer who is in debt for supplies
should dispose of enough of his cot
ton to meet his obligations.
He should not hold his cotton at
some other mans expense.
