It was understood that at least one

however, declined to comment on that.

Information obtained by the CONNER.
cial Attache of the United States at
The Hague, Erwin w. Thompson,
who has made an investigation of the
conditions OF the cotton market
throughout Europe. In normal years
the total amount of American cotton
imported by Germany is, roundly g.
100000 bales. With largesstock OF
cotton in hand Germany's mills were
able to continue with the ordinary
number fof operatives and with the
usual output during the first months
of the war down to January of this

From January to April there were
received at Bremen 100000 bales of

addition to this direct shipment there
have been shipped into Germany by

cent of Germany's raw cotton is sup
Piled from India, Egypt, Persia and
various small sources Of supply, and
the remainder comes from the United
States. The same is probably true OF
Russia and France.
In all the war countries the large
demand has been for the coarser fab
RIGS needed for military purposes and
in these the output has been greatly
increased and consequently mills
have some of the time been run

ton mills have been running double
time. The only serious cut in the
market demand arises in Poland,
which required about 90 per cent of
the Russian output. Mr.. Thompson
concludes from all the data at his
command that the total continental
consumption of cotton for the year of
1914-1915 is 6,730,000 bales, which
is 1,7670O0 less than in the previous
year. The direct imports from the
United States amounted to 4,O17,S79
bales, which was 1857 639 bales less

WAR PICTURES

The thousands Of printed columns
in this country relative to the war in
Europe tell in the final analysis most
of the facts in connection with the
great struggle, but the magazines and
Sunday papers which present photo
graphs of actual scenes perform
great service in bringing proof so
that it may be seen at a glance. A
great part of the war dispatches are
written by partisans who cannot pre-
vent their personal feelings from
more or less coloring their stories but
the camera knows no favorite and
shows detail more truthfully than
any written words. There are now
photographers with all the armies
and all the important magazines and
periodicals are deyoting space TO pho
tographs taken on the spot. From
these it is possible to learn a great
deal relative not only to the armies
but to the countries and districts in
which fighting takes place.
1t is particularly interesting at this
time to notice that the photographs
| from Serbia and Bulgaria show a
country similar to ours of northern
! New England. From the photographs
! we learn that Poland and parts of
Russia where the summer campaigns
have been fought are much like parts
of our own country and that the large
towns and cities resemble some OF
the prosperous towns of our middle
west. The city OF Lemburg of which
hardly anyone in America had ever
heard much previous to the war is
shown by the photographs to be a
thriving city with wide streets
| beantifUl shade trees, houses and
Ipublic buildings which would do cred
il to amy American city OF similar
sIsize.
| 9 The printed dispatches give one
i the impression that the Gallipoli pen
| insula is rocky desert where hui
man life would exist only under hard
ships, but the actual photographs
show that there are wide fields .fol
grain there and well kept orchards
indicating that some rof it at least is
fertile and prosperous. ss,st,u
], 3 The list might be greatly extended
but no doubt people generally have
come to recognize the value of illus
trations and the readers of current
history will 6nd themselves greatly
aided by spending part Of the time
