Transfer or Sale of Mer-
chant Vessels.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 2s.--Germany
has prohibited transfer or sale of all
German merchant vessels, including
those informed, according to cable
gram yesterday from American ambas-
sador Gerard
The state department yesterday made
the following announcement:
"The department has been informed
by cable from Berlin that under a law
of Oct. 81 the German government for
bids any German citizen who owns or
had a share in any merchant ship to
sell or in any way dispose of his in
terest to any one who is not subject
of Germany.
"This law applies equally to German
subjects in foreign countries"
The new German decree was believed
by state department officials to be de-
signed TO conserve the German mer-
chant marine for use after the war. IL
will prevent the sale or transfer OF any
of the 100 German merchant fleet now
held in American waters.
The German law viii remove a con-
troversy involved in the administrations
ship purchase bill il is believed. During
the ship purchase bill fight last winter
il was charged the administration con
templated acquiring some Of the idle
German vessels.
State department authorities said the
German government could not enforce
tie new law against Germans now in
the United States, but il such persons
sold their interests m violation Of the
law they would be subjected 20 prosccu.
ton II they ever returned 90 Germany.
In case Of violation Of the law, officials
said also. Germany probably would not
recognize the transfer Of ownership.
should such vessels ever enter German
ports.

 Orders

New York, June b.-Primary cotton goods markets were very quiet during the week, but the tone improved on the last buy domestics for the fall season and are filling in their immediate requirements with small orders. The goods on con- tract are being taken steadily and the movement of merchandise on old orders continues large, with the mills well em- ployed. Colored goods mills, printers and dyers are being hampered more ard more each week by the scarcity of dyestuffs and are being compelled to decline for merchandise, notably the indgoes. reds and blacks. Duck continues in Full de- mand for export, a couple of large orders having come in during the week. Some duck mills have already begun night oper- ations on heavy wide duck for war pur- poses. Wash goods in printed designs are In steady demand for immediate ship ment. and white goods for quick delivery are being called for steadily by retailers. The ready to wear trade is working later than usual on cotton goods. Denims are nrm and have been bought literally by some manufacturers. Tickings are quiet Brown sheetings and osnaburgs avaia- Die for substitutes in places are heing sold steadily, but general lines of brown sneet'ngs are very. quiet.

Bullish Showing of Week End Figures Inspires
 Selling

New York. June 5.-The cotton market was very quiet today. but prices ruled generally steady and closed at net ad- vance of 1 to points
 The bullish showing of the weekend figures which were not published until after the close of business yesterday seemed to inspire some scattered e.>ser- ing and little local buying at the start. with first prices unchanged to points higher. Liverpool, however, fully met yes- terday's local reaction. while traders took a favorable view of the wea ther map and there was enough scattered realizing to cause reactions of some or points dur ing the middle of the morning Later re- ports of heavy rains in Oklahoma and north Texas reached the ring and prices rallied with the close to points off from the best under renewed profit taking. The official forecast for generally fair weather in the eastern belt was considered favorable as dry, warm weather is now considered desirable in that section but the rains reported in the west and par ticularly in Oklahoma, which has been complaining of excessive moisture, evi- dently attracted considerable attentit n late in the season. Spinners taklngs of American cotton for the week ended yes terday were 5s.36i bales. against i9s0Sl last year. and the visible supply of Amer lean cotton decreased 196.oS2 bales com pairing with decrease of 1140A last year. Estimates of the season s probable exports are being increased to slightly over s. o00,oo0 bales. while reports from the dry goods trade indicate that mills are oper- at!ng fully as well up to their capacity as they were at this time last season.

AWKWARD MOMENTS
Ny LilCII.LE CAME

There can be no more dreadful feel Ing than that which comes when one puts one foot into it. and during the ghastly silence that ensues much can happen.
 It Is not only the taetless person who makes tactless remarks Sometimes through an overdose of politeness one oVerreaehes oneself. This was particu- laely the case with a friend of mine the other day.
 She had called upon young sirl wnp had very kindly rendered little musical programme And after a very rTetty but familiar song, my friend m an endeavor to say something suit able. remarked: What charming lit- tle song. l have always been so fond of it'
 "Oh." said the girl, acidly, "surely not; I only composed it 10 minutes ago.
 l once knew a woman who prided herself on the amount and quality of the tact she possessed. Yet even she occasionally suffered the qualms which follow an indiscreet remark or action. Like the woman who was heard to re- mark during a pause in a rendering of the Sonata Pathetique." that her servant had left without giving notice. my friend had rather a loud voice of which she was blissfully unaware.
 or course, she possessed that unfor- innate habit of making little remarks about folks when their relatives or friends happened to he in the near vi- cintty. Once she sat for only five min utcs with me in train going up to town and managed to discuss in what she believed to be a confidential voice, the failings of one of her neighbors.

 If you ask married man what he considers was the most awkward mo- inent in his life he will invariably re- ply. "When I proposed" He gives this answer because he considers that 1t 10 the funniest reply he can invent not because there is any real truth In it.
 The old way that included bouquets and photograph albums and longwInd- cd, carefully prepared sentences has long since passed.
 Instead of calling night after night for years and being ushered into the drawing room through the mods and wreathed smiles of the girls relatives. he can now escort the fair one unchap- efoned. to secluded spot on the river where he can woo her at will. Gone is the kneeling posture. the Twin you he mine?" phrase. He is SO we'll versed in the gentle art of love-makine that a touch on the hand, a sigh, a long look Is al that Is required.
 There are many other awkward mo- ments, such as laundering into the wrong places at the wrong moment, or seating husband and wife together at a dinner party.
 1t is really more exciting to seat two divorced folk together at table. but the result is sometimes rather disas- trous.

LITTLE REMAINS OF
 BOOM IN STOCKS Mercantile Agencies Report Conditions Sound-Cop-
 per Shows Strength

New York, June 5.-Little or nothing re- niained of the boom which yesterday sent stocks in general to the highest ave,s of recent weeks. The effect of the Urited States Steel decision seemed to have spent its force for a time, Steel shares as well as the others refiecting moderate pres sure.
 The little trading of today's short ses- sion. about 300,o0o shares, consisted largely of an evening up of weekly accounts. Amalgamated and Anacona copper were among the few features of strength, the former rising above its high price of the previous day. All the Morot issues made considerable gains presumably d re- suit of the enormous stock dividend de- clared by one of the better known com panies. In the final dealings Steel, I'nion Pacific, Southern Pacific and American Can manifested renewed heaviness, clos ing at lowest prices

Movies As Aid to Recruiting

London, May .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The use the German government makes of moving pictures to popularize the war among the German people and the expedition of picture oper- ators for the front organized by the French war office has brought the film to the notice of the British war department as an aid to recruiting "Our young men are not so much lacking in patriotism as imagination" said leading recruiting of ficer An appeal to the eye is the most effective that can be devised. The bat tie picture. the cinema proprietor will tell you, is the most popular he can filr. It our young men could see for them selves, there would be no further talk of compulsory servioe."

The White Aseel Is one of the old est races of fowls. According to his- tor!ans this Is the fowl whose bat ties are alluded to in the 'Institules" Of Mena, 1000 B. c. "Aseel' Is an Arabic word meaning high caste" The rulers or India bred this fowl for fighung. and to this day both sexes are extreme ly cumulative.
 Aseels are known in black. black red, white, Duckering gray, spangles, sreclles and mottles, but the first three are generally accepted as tho distinct varieties.
 In 1850 or whereabouts the people If Cornwall, England, using the blaclS-red Aseel and some of the local fowl. evolved the now famous Dark Cornish Others using the White Aseel in like manner produced the White Cornish fowls. The latter, while partal<ine in
