TO PREVENT COTTON WASTE.
Bulletin Issued Urging Cooperation
in Eliminating Loss.

Washington, Nov. l0.--Cotton pro-
ducers are urged in a bulletin issued
by the United States department Of
agriculture to cooperate to Eliminate
the heavy loss to the cotton industry
between the time the seed is put into
the gin and baled lint is delivered to
the mill. The loss as far as the fiber
is concerned results chiefly from i'm
proper ginning. which Injuries the lint
and to the inadequate pressing and
covering OF the bale. Too rapid run
ming OF the gin machinery cuts the
fiber, but probably the greatest loss
falling upon American cotton under
existing conditions is due to careless
preparation OF the bales. As they
come from the gin the bales are un-
wieldy and poorly covered, which
causes the handling charges to be
greater than necessary and subjects
the lint to wastage and damage. The
problem is treated in bulletin issued
by the department.

SLAVERY CAUSED
CIVILIZATION"
Says Miss Mildred Lewis Rutherford
In an Address TO U. D. c. Con.
vention at Dallas.

tBy Associated Prcssl
Dallas. Texas, Nov. l0.-The insti-
tuition OF slavery caused the ciyiliza-
ton OF the old South. Miss Mildred
Lewis Rutherford. the historian gen.
eral. told the United Daughters OF the
Confederacy in an address before the
convention yesterday.
ut was undoubtedly the institution
Of slavery as II existed in the South -
declared Miss Rutherford. "a differ.
ence in the slave holders themselves
from other slave holders. that caused
the civilization OF the old South. These
were men Of the old cavalier stock and
their fear OF God gave them minds
attuned TO justice. hearts trained TO
love and pocketbooks open to the
needs OF humanity,
THE black man should thank God
for the institution OF slavery as II ex'
listed In the South-the easiest road
that any slave people ever passed
from savagery to civilization under
the kindest and most humane mas
tiers.
This civilization was destroyed, not
so much by the thirteenth amendment
freeing the slaves. as by the policy OF
reconstruction In the South, and that

Would Resent
PEACE MOVE
No Preparations Made For the
Discussion of Peace.
USELESS AND lNADVlsABLE
Mediation Has Been Neither offered
BY This Country Nor sus-
gested To 1t From
Abroad.

Washington-No new step to end
the European War has been taken By
the United States and, so far as Off
cials here can foresee, none is likely
to be taken in the near future, accord,
ing to an authoritative statement OF
the governments position.
While no official professed to know
what is in President Wilson's mind, it
was declared that no preparations hac
been made for discussion OF peacs
through the usual diplomatic channels
and that all the information gathered
here seemed to indicate that such a
move would be both useless and mad
visable. 1t was pointed out, however,
that in a matter of this nature the
President usually keeps his own coun'
sci and might be Influenced by indica-
tions Of which the officials here are in
ignorance.
Regarding the many rumors that the
United States already had made media
tory advances to the belligerents dur
ing recent months, it was declared
authoritatively that mediation had
been neither offered by this govern
ment nor suggested to it from abroad.
The United States, it was explained,
stands exactly where it has stood ever
since President Wilson, at the out,
break Of the war, made an open ofIer
to use the good Offices of the country
whenever requested. Since that an
nouneement, it was declared, there has
been no changes so far as the Ameri
can government is concerned.
While declining to be quoted direct
ly on SO delicate a matter, officials
here are understood to be thoroughly
convinced that any peace move at this
time would be resented as unneutral.
and might impair the governments
standing as mediator when the time
for action comes.
In spite of this belief, attention is
called to the formal decision Of Switz-
erland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark
not to offer mediation now, the In
can to the same effect, the warning
against such attempts sounded recent
ly by David Lloyd-George, the British
war minister; the Swedish premier's
declaration that peace proposals by
neutrals would be futile, and other
utterances by public men in belliger-
ent and neutral countries. Holland
and the United States alone have
taken no definite stand against media
ton now, but there is no expectation
here that either will abandon its prss-
ent silence.

EXPORTS OVER
THREE BILLIONS
Trade Balance to Set a Record
This Year.
GREAT BRITAIN GETS THIRD
Report Of the Department Of Com
nerce Shows That Exports To
Germany and Russia Have
Almost Ceased.

Washington.-The enormous extent
of recent gains in the export trade OF
the United States is disclosed in
statistics just issued by the Depart
ment Of Commerce Total exports to
the various countries for the first eight
months Of the calendar year were IN
many cases millions of dollars greater
than those of the entire fiscal year OF
1914 and very large increases are
shown in percentages.
Exports to Greece for the eight
months leaped 1900 per cent, COM
pared to the fiscal year 1914; to Rus
sia 900 per cent; to Norway $40 per
cent; to France 240 per cent; to Den
mark 140 per cent; to Italy 12S per
cent; to the United Kingdom 103 per
cent; to Sweden "a per cent; to Cuba
AZ per cent, and to Japan 25 per cent.
This vast export trade shows an ap-
parent trade balance for the eight
months $1,73o, 100000 in favor of the
United States and department officials
predict that by the end of the year it
will exceed $2.500,000,000. The total
exports amounted to S3,4S5,s69,212, an
increase of $1,205, ,082.O10 over the
same eight months year ago.
The largest gain was in exports to
the United Kingdom, which took near
ly one-third of all goods exported from
the United States in that period. They
amounted to $1,207, ,751 ,9S9, showing an
increase of $554,00O.000 over the same
eight months last year, and $713,000,-
600 more than the entire fiscal year OF
1914 France, the second best custo-
mer of the United States, took goods
valued at $544.475,000, an increase of
| $211, ,000,0 600 over the previous eight
months and $3S4,000.0O0 more than
1914. Canada was third, taking $685.
| 736,56S. an increase of $1SS,0O0. 900
over the eight months of last year, but
only s2s, 100000 more than 1914.
Russia in Europe and Asia took
| $3OO,362,626 worth, an increase of
$219, 100000 over the previous eight
month period Greece's imports from
the United States amounted to $685.
697,141, compared with $1,100,00 in
the whole fiscal year before the war.
Exports to Germany and Austria
have almost ceased. Decreases for
the eight months, when compared with
the same period last year, were shown
in exports to Denmark. The Neither
lands and Sweden, but the totals, ex-
cept for The Netherlands, exceed
those OF the fiscal year 1914.

ONE SUBMARINE
DID THE WORK
All on Torpedoed Ships Had
Time to Leave.
NO MORE SHIPS SUNK
Submarine Able To submeroe and Bob
Up SO Quickly AS To Give the
Impression There Were
More Than One.

Newport, r. 1.-The wholesale raid
on foreign shipping south of Nantucket
lightship Sunday was the work of one
submarine, according to reports of
American naval officers. Rear Admiral
Albert Gleaves, commanding the tor
Pedo-boat destroyer 1otilla, which did
such remarkably speedy rescue work,
said that the reports of all his officers
agreed that, to the best of their obser-
walton, one raider only was concerned.
This boat presumably was the German
U-53, which called at Newport to mail
letter to Ambassador Bernstorff, and
then put to sea, without taking on an
ounce of supplies, although she was IL
days from her base, according to the
statement of her officers.
Admiral Gleaves said he could easily
understand the positive statements of
the captain of the Nantucket lightship
and of sailors of the torpedoed vessels
that more than one submersible was
concerned. The U-boat, he said, was
very fast and appeared to have been
handled cleverly. 1t was easy, he
pointed out, for her to disappear on
one side of ship and then show up
unexpectedly at another spot. Doubt
less he believed she had submerged
and reappeared often enough to mis-
lead any but keen professional OBJ
server and to create the impression
that more than one sea terror was
operating.
This opinion would seem to be borne
out by the statement of many of the
refugees that the submarine had more
business on hand than she could take
care of at once and was obliged to re-
quest one steamer to wait her turn
while another was being put out Of
commission. Lieutenant Commander
Miller, of the destroyer Ericsson, who
witnessed the destruction of the
Stephano, said he was positive that
only one submarine was in the vicinity
at the time.
Crew Still Missing.
The known list of the victims Of
the U-boat's Sunday exploits remains
at six, notwithstanding reports from
the Nantucket lightship that three
other ships, the identity of which could
not be learned, were sent to the bot
tom. There also was a persistent
rumor, without verification, that Brit
ish cruiser, one of the allied patrol
feet sent to the submarine zone, had
been attacked
