BOY SCOUT WINS
MEDAL Of HONOR
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, July 19.-Yyes Meyal, a
boy scout only 16 years old, has just
been decorated with the coveted War
Cross of France (Croix de Guerre).
Meyal went through the whole of the
first Argonne campaign, and was men
toned in the orders of the Gay for
bravery in dispateh-carrying and in
the trenches. Just at the close Of
that memorable campaign he was
wounded three times, and was sent
back to a hospital at Chalons. His
medal was awarded to him while he
was still in hospital, and was pinned
to his breast in the presence of a
great gathering of boy scouts as soon
as he was able to make the trip to
Paris.
When the war broke out, Meval was
at Morlaix, where he belonged to the
local boy scouts and had just passed
an examination emitting him to serve
as hospital and ambulance attend
ant. After short period of service in
hospital he made his way surrepti-
tiously to the front, obtained some
how a uniform ard equipment, and
attached himself to company from
his home town.
One of his bullet wounds deprived
him of the sight of his right eye, but
he hopes to be allowed to return 70
the front, Notwithstanding this dis
qualification.

largest purely Irish unit has been the
regiment. This is the first time that
an entire Division of Irish troops has
been made up.
The Irish Division" as it is tech
nically known, received its first train
ing on the soil of it's native isle, and

r. n. PRICE ON COTTON
We'll Known Expert Thinks Peace
Will Help Situation.

WIN ttS'H
Looking ahead there is no new rae
tor discernible that seems likely to de-
fleet the market very far away from
the parity Of eight cents a pound Tor
cotton in the primary southern mar
kets.
Exports for the week are 4S2,799
bales, which exceed the record at this
a Of the year, and this fact has
had more or less appeal for the specu-
lative imagination and has led to some
buying Of futures chiefly for the ac-
count Of people in the west, where the
excitement in the grain market has
made it easy to get buying orders for
anything.
Were conditions normal throughout
he world there is little doubt that
spinners would take h entire surplus
of this years crop at present prices by
way Of protecting themselves against
a possible shortage in the future.
Conditions are not normal, however,
and the continental merchants and
spinners who are generally the largest
buyers in years Of superabundant sup
ply have neither the credit In which TO
make forward purchases or the assur-
ance that they will be able to sell the
goods that the cotton would produce II
they bought it. a..
We would greatly prefer to predict
a continued advance in the market II
we could do so logically, but while we
do not expect a serious decline we can
see no reason for any immediate ad-
vance.
The supply is ample. Those who w
il are willing to sell it at eight cents
In the south, and until the accumula-
ton Of last autumn is still further re-
duced a further advance in prices Is
likely to be deferred.
This opinion assume a
of the war until the summer. Should
peace come sooner, and it may, cotton
will almost overnight become very
cheap at present prices, and for the
American and English spinner buying
on easy markets would seem to be the
only intelligent policy to pursue.
Sooner or later peace must come,
and sooner or later cotton bought al
nine cents a pound will be saleable al
a substantial proft.-Commerce n

WARNING FROM WASHINGTON.
United States Declares That AmerI'
cans Must Be Protected.

Publication last night by the state
department of the text Of notes sent
Wednesday. to Great Britain and Ger
many, respectively, revealed that
both countries had been warned in
most emphatic terms against menac-
ing the vessels or lives Of American
citizens travelling the recently pro-
claimed sea zones of war.
Germany was advised that the Unit
ed States would be constrained to
hold the imperial government to a
strict accountability for any acts or
its naval authorities which might re-
suit in the destruction Of American
vessels or the loss Of American lives
and that II such a deplorable situa-
ton should arise" the American
government would take any steps !.
might be necessary to sa1eguaro
American lives and property"
To Great Britain, the United States
pointed out "the measure of respon-
sibilty" which would seem to be m
posed on the British government Tor
the loss Of American vessels and lives
in case Of an attack by a German ma
val force if England sanctioned gen,
eral misuse Of the American nag n
thereby cast doubt upon the vaiid
character of neutral ensigns.
The communications were to nave
been presented today by Ambassador
Page at London and by Ambassador
Gerard al Berlin. They were pre-,
pared by Consulor Robert Lansing ana
revised by President Wilson and Sec
retary BRYAN after consultation with
the entire cabinet.
The British, Spanish and Brazilian
ambassadors were given copies OF the
notes, as were the ministers of Swe-
e Norway and Denmark. The doc
ument created q sensation among
diplomats generally because or wnat
some regarded as their drastic impii-
cations.
ernment pointed out informally, 1t has
heen deemed advisable to speak In
unmistakable terms now rather than
TO await the alarming erect upon
American public opinion, which mlght
ensue from the sinking Of a vessel
with scores of American citizens. Inc
notes, officials were confident, woulo
prevent the critical possibilities ols-
cussed by them.
Diplomats examined with great In
terest the language Of the
cations and some construed the note
to Germany as a warning tnat II
loss of American lives by sinking
even a belligerent merchant ship
would be covered by the representa-
ions of the American government
because Of the insistence that all
merchant ships must be visited n
searched and passengers OF De-
fore ships IAN be sunk.
