HENRY FORD is BACK HOME.
Has Changed His Mind About the For

Has Changed His Mind About the For
eign War.
New York.-Henry Ford, who led the
peace expedition which left here De-
cember on the steamship Oscar II for
Copenhagen in the hope of bringing
about conference of neutral nations
that would end the war, arrived here
Sunday.
Mr.. Ford declared his views regard
ing the cause of the war have under
gone marked change. When he left,
he said, he was of the opinion that
bankers, manufacturers of munitions
and armament we're responsible, but
he returns with the belief that it is
the people themselves, those now be-
ing slaughtered, who are responsible.
The men doing the fighting have been
too content to let those who rule them
do their thinking, and they have not
taken advantage of their divine right
to say for themselves what they shall
do and think, the pacificist asserted
Republics are no better than mon
arches in this respect" he said Given
in the United States we let those
whom we have elected to office be
swerved from their duty. We dom
assert ourselves.

CONGRESS FACES WAR PROBLEM
Foreign Situation to the Front When
Sessions Reopen Tuesday.

Washington Congress reconvened
Tuesday to begin consideration of mo-
mentuous legislation confronting it.
Before the holiday recess little was &C
complished beyond organization and
extension of the emergency war reve-
nue. law.
During the preliminary two weeks
there were assurances on every hand
that foreign relations incident to the
European war and the subject of pre-
paredness for national defense would
be the dominating efatures of the ses-
sion fraught with far reaching posi-
bilities.
Important international events since
the recess have served to make indica-
tions stronger than ever that the leg
islative branch will seek all available
information in possession OF the gov
eminent relating to foreign complica-
tions.

RUSSIAN ONSLAUGHT SEEN
AS GREAT STRATEGIC MOVE
Attempt to Break Teutonic Backbone
in the Balkans Is Predicted
On 30O-MiIe Front.

London.-Russia's campaign in Bess-
arabia continues to be the most i'm
portant visible war activity. From the
Pripet to the Rumanian frontier, over
front of at least 300 miles, huge
Russian force with a great appearance
of confidence is hurting sledge-ham-
mer blows at the opposing force which
according to all accounts totals at
least one and half million men.
The Russians have captured the
heights northwest of Czernowitz, Blu
kowina, according to dispatch to Ru-
ter's Telegram Company from Pc
trograd. Eight hundred and seventy
prisoners fell into their hands.
ePtrograd still claims considerable
successes in the early stages of the
campaign and dispatches emphasize
the excellent equipment, supplies and
munitions that Russia laid up for, this
purpose during a period of compare
tive passivity

EMPEROR WILLIAMS NEW
YEARS GREETING
Must Battle Until They
Achieve Victory.

London.-The Amsterdam CORE

according to dispatch from Berlin,
sent the following New Years address
to the army, the navy and the colonial
troops:
Comrades: Another year of svere
fighting has elapsed. Wherever SUI
perior number of enemies have
stormed our lines they have failed be-
fore your loyalty and bravery. Wher-
ever l have sent you into battle you
have gained glorious victory. Thank
fully we remember today, above all
our brethren who joyfully gave their
blood in order to gain security for our
beloved at home and imperishable
glory for the fatherland What they
have begun we shall accomplish with
Gods gracious help.
"In impotent madness, enemies
from the west and east, from the
north and south, still seek to deprive
us of allNthat makes life worth living.
They long ago buried the hope to
conquer us in honest fighting. On the
weight of their masses, on he starva-
ton of our entire people, on the in
fluence of their campaign of calumna-
ton, which is as mischievous as it is
malicious, they believe they can still
reckon Their plans will not succeed.
Before the spirit of determination
which imperturbably unites the army
and those at home, their hopes will be
miserably disappointed. With will
to discharge the duty. to the father
land to the last breath and determine
ton to secure victory, we enter the
new year with God for the protection
of the fatherland and for Germany's
greatness"

PREDICT COPPER WILL GO TO

Highest Price Asked in Recent Years,
% Cents, Reached Last Week
Recent Sale DepIetes Supply.

Copper reached a new high point in
recent years last week, the asked price
having been advanced to % cents the
pound for electrolytic by large east
ern selling agencies, and it is predict
ed that the 25-cent mark will be reach
ed in the next 80 to so days. Reports
state that practically all large pro-
ducing companies have contracted
their entire output up to April 1, and
that there is but small supply in the
hands of the smaller concerns.
The sale recently by the Anaconda
company of 10000 tons to the British
government at 81 cents pound has
taken out of the market much that
had not been already contracted for,
and it is said that there now are more
than enough foreign inquiries listed to

JUSTICE ]. R. LAMAR
DIES AT AGE OF Sc
MEMBER OF THE U. s. SUPREME
COURT FOR THE PAST
FIVE YEARS.
BORN in A GEORGIA VILLAGE
Had Been Honored by His State Sew
eraI Times-Death Due to Weak
ened Heart and Grippe-Though
Democrat, Appointed by Taft

Neutrality-suspicious. Rucker Lamar,
age So, associate Justice Of the SUI
preme court of the United States, died
at his home here after an illness of
several months. He had been on the
supreme bench five years.
The immediate couse of death was
gradual heart failure, fastened by in
Illumination of one lung, which had
threatened to develop into pneumonia.
About a week ago the justice con-
tracted cold. His weakened heart
was unable to bear the burden of this
inflammation. Sunday afternoon, aft
er recognizing his wife and two sons,
re dropped off to sleep. Gradually his
respiration grew less frequent, until
at $3.50 he gave long sigh as of re-
lief and was dead.
The burial will take place at Au7
gusta, Ca, for many years the home
of the justice.
1t is believed that President Wilson
will act at once in filling the vacancy
because of the important cases now
awaiting consideration before a full
court.
Native of Georgia..
Justice Lamar was born in Fuckers
vile, Elbert county, Ca, October H.,
1857. He lived at Augusta until ap-
pointed to the supreme bench. The
justice was a cousin to Associate JUS
tice L. @. G. Lamar of Mississippi,
who served on the bench from 1873 8to
1893.
He was honored by his state by
many positions for which his learning
and ability as lawyer fitted him, in
Guiding the state supreme court.
EARLY in his service on the supreme
court bench he became recognized as
a powerful member.
Justice Lamar had the distinction of
being one of the few members of the
court appointed by president of the
opposite political faith. Pres Taft
appointed him in 1910.

NET ADVANCE ON COTTON MARKET
Buying Stimulated by More Cheerful Feeling Regard
 ing Foreign Situation

New Orleans, February 29.-After a small decline on the most active months after the opening in this market today, cotton firmed up and stood at a net ad- vance throughout the session, closing 2 to 15 points up. Last prices were almost the highest on the old crop months. but the new crops did not show quite as much strength. Taking actual sales into con sideration and the market at it's best was 13 to 15 points up on the leading months.
 There was less disposition than usual on the part of the professional element to put out short cotton, and offerings at all times were slender. A moderate demand sustained values. Buying was stimulated by the more cheerful feeling regarding international politics, although bearish opinion was that there was little founda- ton for such feeling.
 On the opening the market was held down by poor cables and prospects of rain for Texas, but no real selling power developed. Holders of short contracts were inclined to cover as soon as the market made a show of strength, and their purchases were a source of steadi- ness throughout the day.

STEADY ADVANCE
 OF COTTON PRICES
Political Views and Steady Tone Among Spot Hold
 CTS Send Prices Up

New York, February 29.-The cotton market showed continued irregularity to- day, but the undertone was steadier with May contracts selling up to 1L47c, or 15 points above last nights final figures, and closing at. 11.43c.
 The general list closed steady at net advance of to points.
 Liverpool was rather better than due, and the market here opened steady at a declineof 1 point on March, but generally 4 to points higher. The circulation of a few. march notices estimated at about 3000 bales probably accounted for the rela- lively easy ruling of the near month, but the general list worked higher dur ing the morning on Liverpool buying, covering of shofts and a moderate de- mand from Jeactionlsts. After selling at 1113c on the call. March rallied to u.26c, while July advanced from 11.57c to 1.67c, and October from 11.Tc to 11s6c. This made gain of about 10 to 15 points as compared with last nights closing fig ures, while the more active positions showed rallies of 22 to 23 points from re- cent low levels The market seemed to encounter slightly increased offerings around these figures, and fluctuations were irregular during the afternoon, with evidence of selling on the bulges, while declines were checked by Wall street and local buying. May contracts eased off to 1.39c shortly after midday, but rallied again to 11.46c, and the general list closed within 3 or points of the best.
 Liverpool was a more active buyer here this morning. than recently, and it is now estimated in some circles that the strad- dle short interest here has been reduced to about one-quarter of its original pro- portion.
 The selling during the afternoon was attributed partly to southern spot firms, but was accompanied by runors of an improved spot demand and a steadier tone among spot holders. Rather more favorable cew of international politics probably contributed to the early advance and the Wall street buying was promoted by the firmer tone of the stock market.
