officially place the 1914 crop as a
record with 16,102,143 bales Of so
pounds each. That is 409,442 bales
more than produced in the great crop
of 1911.
In addition to the great production
of lint cotton, a record quantity of
Inter cotton, extensively used in the
manufacture of military explosives,
was obtained. This cotton amounted
to 225, 1920 pounds and brought the

lint. The value of seed is estimated
at $134,00O,0 200. These together make

London.-The relations between
Italy and Austria are believed to
have reached an acute stage. A dis
patch Monday from Rome says Aus
trian and German subjects have been
advised by their consuls to leave Italy
in the shortest possible time, and
that a number of Germans who recent
.ly arrived in Italy are being watched
because of the suspicion that they are
military spies.
There have been reports for some
days that Germany's efforts to secure
the continued neutrality of Italy by
inducing Austria to cede Trent and
other territory We're not meeting with
success. Italy, it was said, was de-
manding that the territory be handed
over to her at once, but the Teutonic
allies desired to make the transfer
after the Val.
Following. this came reports that
Austria had commenced strengthening
the southern frontier, and according
to a dispatch received in Paris from
Rome Monday, Italian officers of all
arms belonging to the first line, who
have been OF half pay, have been
called to the colors.
