GOVERNMENT MONEY
WILL AID the FARMERS

Secretary McAdoo was on
Tuesday prepared to extend aid
to the Southern cotton growers
to enable them to dispose of
their product to the greatest ad-
vantage, said a Washington
dispatch.
The secretary announced that
in view of the action of the allies
in making cotton contraband he
was ready, if necessary to take
either one of two courses to help
the cotton producer. One of
these plans is to deposit $780,
600, 600 or more in gold in the
federal reserve banks at At
lanta, Dallas and Richmond to
enable those banks to rediscount
cotton secured by warehouse
receipts made by national and
State banks belonging to the
reserve system. No interest
would be charged on the de-
posits for the present at least.
The other plan is to deposit
the gold directly with national
banks agreeing to lend the
money on cotton at a rate not to
exceed 6 per cent. The latter
will be used if the object sought
can be accomplished with greater
efficiency thereby.
Secretary McAdoo declared
that if there was cooperation
between the bankers, the mer-
chants and producers the cotton
situation could be handled with
happy results.

To Help Cotton Farmers.

Plans for helping the cotton
situation in the South were dis
cussed by President Wilson with
w. P. G. Harding, of the federal
reserve board.
The president is preparing to
protest to Great Britain against
making cotton contraband. Mr..
Harding made recommendations
for further steps but refused to
make them public. One plan
under consideration is under
stood to be the sending of an
informal commission to England
to arrange for the sale of surplus
cotton.

Sidna Allen Estate Sold.

A despatch from Bristol, Tenn,

public auction at Hillsville, Va,
Saturday of the Sidna Allen es-
tate, practically the last vestige
of property accumulations that
were once the property of the

the people bearing that name.
The Sidna Allen estate consisted
of a handsome mountain mansion
and tracts of mountain land ag-
gregating 400 acres, valued at
upwards of $4,000. Sold under
the hammer, it did not bring
much in excess of the indebted

fees, attorneys claims and for
agreed judgments for damages
on account of the men killed

Blease Will Make Race.

Gov. Blease makes the positive
statement that he will be a can
didate for governor in the cam
paign of 1916, says the New
berry Herald and News. He
says the demands for him to do
so come from all parts of the
State and that they are so strong
he can not afford to deny this
demand from his friends who
have stood by him so many
times. Personally he has no
desire to make the race or to be
governor, because his ambition
in that line has been satisfied
by having served two terms.
But if it is the opinion of his
friends that it is his duty to lead
the people in the fight which is
to be made next year. he can not
give deaf ear to such call and
he will respond.

COTTON IS CONTRABAnD,
SAYS GREAT BRITAIN

Announcement Saturday that
cotton had been declared abso-
lutte contraband of war by Great
Britain came as no surprise to
official Washington, according to
dispatches. Secretary Lansing
was informally advised by the
British Embassy some time ago
that this action had been de-
cided upon and that formal
announcement was delayed only
pending the arrangement of
details. This included, it is
understood, preparations to pro-
tect the market from the effect
of the announcement and also an
understanding between Great
Britain and her Allies.
While officials would not dis
cuss the subject. it is certain
the United States will protest
against the British action, citing
the previons consistent policy of
Great Britain in holding cotton
free of restraint. The result,
it is expected, will be to draw
out a full explanation of the
reasons behind the British
change of policy. A long course
of diplomatic interchanges un-
doubtedly will follow before an
agreement can be reached. or
the question possibly submitted
to arbitration.
The first direct effect of the
British announcement will be
simplify the discussion over the
orders in council now in prog
ress. Cotton ships have formed
a large percentage of the total
number of craft held up under
the orders. each case involving
much informal debate over ar
rangements for payment by
Great Britain for three cargoes
seized. Each case, also, became
an additional factor in the formal
discussion between the two
Governments, the United States
having steadily maintained that
Great Britain was violating the
accepted rules of international
law in halting commerce between
neutrals, more especially COM
merce in non contraband goods.
1t is understood the British
plan is to steady the cotton mar
ket through actual purchases if
that becomes necessary. Prob
ably cotton factors will be COM
missioned to keep the COM
modify above a fixed minimum
price. Crop conditions this year.
it is said, will make it easier to
maintain prices because open
markets unaffected by the Allies
action are more than able to alb
sorb the entire production.

The first resignation of an important
state official coming with the change of
administration was received to-day by
Governor Brumbaugh from Morris Wolf,
of Philadelphia, who proposes to retire
as Third Assistant Deputy Attorney
General. Mr.. Wolf was appointed about
two years ago when the office was ere

American SAILORS ON THE
CREENBRIER. ARRESTED At
Bremen. ARE Released

Washington, Jan. 21.-While the
American government to-day awaited
Great Britain s explanation of her
seizure of the American steamer Green
brler, it developed that American sail
ors OF her crew, as well as those of
the steamer Carolyn, had been arrested
by German authorities at Bremen.
In brief dispatch informing the
State Department that the sailors had
been released from detention and were
now free to join their ships when they
left port, the American consul at
Bremen gave the first information that
the sailors had been arrested and add
ed no details.
Officials here could only suppose that
the men might have been arrested for
misconduct ashore or possibly detained
until the departure of their ships to
suppress any military information they
might gain.
The Greenbrier, whose detention is
now the subject of diplomatic negotia,
tions, sailed from New Orleans and
Norfolk with cotton for Bremen under
a certificate issued by the British con.
sui at Norfolk. Her commander COM
planned that British cruiser seized his
ship on the high seas, hoisted the Brit.
ish ensign, damaged the vessel in navi-
cation and detained him at Kirkwall,
before he was permitted to proceed to
Bremen.
The Carolyn also carried a cotton
cargo to Bremen. Apparently she got
through without interference and the
arrest of her sailors is her first appear
ance in the international incidents aris
ing out of the transportation of cot
ton to Germany. She called at Fal-
mouth, however, before proceeding to
Bremen.
Secretary Bryan's request for infor
nation of the circumstances surround
ing the seizure of the Greenbrier has
been received at the British embassy
here, which withholds comment. Ad.
vices are expected at the State Depart
ment after communications between
the embassy and the London Foreign
Office.
The detention of the sailors at Brem-
en- is expected to be further explained
in later dispatches. Whether the State
Department will investigate the Incl
dent probably depends upon the extent
of the information it receives from the
American consul.
