NO COMPLETE SOLUTION

London, Aug. 13 There is no
such thing as complete solution of
the cotton problem" declares the
Times in a long article discussing
the purchase of the American crop
by Great Britain, and then the "r1-
tioning" of necessary supplies to
neutrals under strict government SUI
pervision.
Germany has as her near neigh

neutral states of Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
These states have rights which we
cannot ignore.
But we may Justly complain
when we find them importing from

they need for their domestic con-
sumption and exporting the surplus,
or a large part of 1t, to the enemy,
who cannot obtain It elsewhere. who
cannot produce it himself, and to
whom a constant supply Of this in
dispensable raw material Is vital to
his military strength.
What the British government has
done Is to seeking out by series 0f
friendly and private agreements. All

importation of cotton into that
country to the needs Of its domestic
manufacturers This seems to be
the only principle that is at once
sound and effective on which we can
proceed. The arrangement with
the Dutch merchants proved any
thing but water tight largely be-
cause it does not expressly limit the
amount of cotton that may be i'm

Few Depredations

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 13. -
The authorities on the lower Rio
Grand continue to take measures to
suppress lawlessness. Few depreda-
tiOns from Mexican raiders are re-
ported. Developments are expected
to follow the conference of the gov
ernor and adjutant general with
citizens. Further proof that the out
break was due to conspiracy by
Mexicans on both sides of the bor-
der was placed before the governor.
The killing last night of a Mexican,
supposed to be a raider, near Meri-
edes. is the latest death. There are
numerous unconflrmed reports of
battles.

China has caused profound concern
throughout the empire and extern

overcome the movement. Japanese
merchants are beginning to COM

thoughtful leaders in various walks
of Japanese life are worried over
where the Chinese hostility will
end and over how it will affect the
future relations of the two coun-
tries
Osaka, which is very progressive
body has already organized a spec
ial commission whose assignment is
the elimination of the Japanese boy
colt by friendly propaganda and the
advancement of Japan's trade inter-

also investigate the possibilities Of
economic developments as a result
, OF the new treaties with the gov
! ernment of Peking.
The members of the Chamber will
be dispatched to all important parts
of China. The first party will visit
Mongolia and that part of South
Manchuria which has not yet been
explored A second group will tour
north China and third the south u.
Other chambers of commerce are
joining the movement.

Each man thought he was going

hope" and he gave his life when he
enlisted, and it was accepted as a
sacrifice to his country. When the
soldiers arrived in Washington they
were informed they were to be the
bodyguard of the president, and they
served as such until after the war
closed.
They were quartered upon the
ellipse south of the treasury, and
some of them were on guard every
