Strong cables, less favorable crop ad-

a stronger and more active market In

One strong incentive for the early &C.
tivity wal the special report OF the
Journal of Commerce. which indicated q
deterioration for the month In North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Okla

was said to have shown some Improve

These reports, as well as he reports
Of some of the other private authori-
ties have caused considerable surprise
throughout the trade. as II had been as
sumed from the character OF the weekly
weather reports and the advices coming
from the South that the condition Of the
crop would show some Improvement In
June.
There appears, however. to be some
basis for the less optimistic advices. A
Dallas wire to a local f'rm yesterday
said: Complaints of boil weevil are
becoming more general throughout
Texas. Best informed cotton men say
that over most OF the State the plant

Another bullish development alsc
would result from a modification Of the
British blockade on Germany whacn
already seems impending. A Washing

had agreed to shipments to Sweden OF

rangement would become effective al
once. This implied a big concession on
the part OF Great Britain. as the allow.

The nation is today facing prob
TEN of such gravity as it has been
called upon to confront but once or
twice IN all its history. 1t must de-
eide whether or not it will prepare
for the coming Of a possible powerful
foe.
The problem is one OF particular
difficulty because the United States is
inherently on-military-has through
out its history stuck to the principle
OF maintaining almost no army and
the smallest navy that would seem in
any way to serve the obvious needs.
It's people are opposed to the idea OF
militarism but DESTROYS Of that sense
of security which comes with q con
seriousness of their ability to give an
account of themselves In time Of need.
The fascination with which they
have watched the progress of the war
in Europe has had in it the element
of personal interest, for the American

government would be able to do IL it

these youngsters should spend I'VE
weeks with the army at the compile
tion of the junior and senior years and
then be given their reserve comm1s-
sions upon passing examinations. SO
would a reserve force Of officers with
less training than those graduating
from West Point be provided.
There is yet another class 10 tnst1tu-
tions that might be relied upon to FUR
nish good material. for reserve officers.
There are military schools IN the ma ma
ton, mostly private, aside from those
which the government helps support
and which turn out about 5000 grad :
yates a year. These men are good ma
terial for reserve officers. They need
q bit of actual service to bring home
their theoretical training. Provision
might be made to give these men sec
ond Heutenants commissions for

examinations. Then they might ba

There are even the cadet corps OF

tary training and whose courses would
be of great value In the making OF

boys might be taken to encampmen.s
operated under regular army cono.-
lions and trained to the duties OF non
officers. When an army
was in the making they might perform
valuable service as drill sergeants and
find themselves we'll along toward
commissions by the time they got to
the front.
OF particular Importance would II
be that the government could have all
such men listed and subject to call In
time Of need. The experts hold that
the volunteer army is half made when
there are officers at hand to train 4.
Without those officers the maktng or
an effective army In short time
seems almost impossible.
The training OF such corps would
be one OF the least expensive phases
IN a program for military prepared
ness. There would be the enlargement
of West Point, the increase in the
OF the land grant colleges
the cost of cadet corps while perform
ing their services with the army, the
salaries and expenses of the gradu-
ates during their year as second lieu

When he has read OF force of a
million and q half trained men, fully
equipped, setting out for the accom-
plishment of a military purpose, he
has thought OF the 10000 mobile troops
that the United States has in readiness
were 1t the object Of such an attack.
When he has read of fleets of sub
marines running into the hundreds
he. has called to mind that fotilla of
a dozen underwater craft that might
be concentrated for the defense of the
Atlantic seaboard were a feet OF the
enemy to set out across the ocean. He
had considered death grapplAs be-
tween great, civilized, humane, modern
nations, thing that would never hap

the cost of It, the folly Of it, made it
until nkable.
But such war has come and other
nations as civilized as the United
States, as strongly opposed to war,
as apparently secure from it, have
been plunged into it. So Uncle Sam
has come to the place where he must
determine whether or not to trust to
his ability to remain forever at peace.
Must he or must he not prepare for the
coming of a possible foe OF, the fu-
ture? May he wager the chance Of

That is the problem which will this

upon to submit expert opinion as to
the needs OF those services. These are
