BERLIN SILENT

Berlin, Aug. 14.-The Admiralty de- lines to-comment on the report pub lished abroad that the German sub marine fJ-20 had been sunk off a Ger man port by accident, in consequence of a defect in operation, but subse- quently had been raised. Official in formation is refused also concerning the fate of ithe6crew. As the German navy has a special ship for raising sunken craft and facilities for coping with such emergencies, the report may quite possibly be true.

SOUTHERN BANKERS DISCUSS PLANS TO
 HELP SELL COTTON
Federal Reserve System will Be Big Factor in Market
 ing of Crop.

Galveston, Aug. 14.-Bankers from the cotton growing states met here to- day to confer on the problems Of mar keting the cotton crop.
 The meeting was called by Joseph Hirsch, of Corpus Christi, president of result of the successful warehousing carried on by the Texas organization during the last six weeks.
 Informal conferences before the opening of the meeting developed al most unanirRous sentiment in favof of the organization of a cotton states bankers association. This association would have for it's main purpose the education of the bankers and farmers of the south in a comprehensive plan of marketing which will remove from the market in the early part of the season all distress cotton. The means for accomplishing this result, the bankers believe, is proper warehousfng and advances to farmers by local banks throughout the south, who will take as security proper warehouse re- ceipts and insurance policies. This p1ana it. is dec1ared,~ will afford relief to the growers who are in immediate need of funds at the opening of the picking season, will insure a more nearly uniform price throughout the market season and will result in ulu- mate benefit to the grower, the banker and the spinner, and through these to the whole population of the south.
 Visiting bankers were unanimous in. declaring that the new federal reserve bank system would be a vital factor in making their gradual marketing plans possible. They point out that there should be no repetition of the bump, ing'' of cotton,l which sent prices to enorrno1s1y low levels last year fol- lowing the outbreak of the European war.

little princess and they hated the
cruel queen and the witch: and all
appreciated the wonderful beauty of
the production and the remarkable
work OF tho children who took part

OF course, some Of the children m
