WAR AND COTTON.

No other world staple was so VIC.
lently depressed by the outbreak OF
war as cotton; but In the cotton crop
year which recently ended-and which
comedies with the second year OF the
war-the world consumed virtually as
much cotton as in the high.record
peace year OF 1913.19l4.
Germany and Austria. normally con.
Stunning about three million balls OF
American cotton, were bottled up and
able to get very little OF the raw ma.
terial. Belgium was in the hands Of
the enemy, and so was the most i'm.
portant cotton manufacturing district
OF France. But England used substan.
TALLY as much as ever. Nothern mills
In the United States used half a mil.
lion more bales than In 19l3.fs14 and
Southern mills almost a million bales
more.
The world used 19.5OO0OO bales
against 19.75O,0OO In 19i3.l9il. which.
we believe, was the greatest quantity
ever used in a year. II is calculated
that at least one million bales were
used In the manufacture OF explosives.
With that exception, We may conclude
that the world was as well clothed In
the second year OF the war as ever.
Southern mills manufactured nearly
four million bales, or double the guam.
itye used a dozen years ago.
Though the war hit Southern cotton
growers hard for a while. Southern
cotton mills are evidently profitIng
from H. Some OF them have been
working night and day The South
alone manufactured virtually as much
cotton last year as the whole country
did a dozen years ago.-Saturday

ROME. Aug. 3O.-Finance Minister

tonight:
The main reason why Italy declared
war on Germany Is that unless she did
so she would not have had an equal
voice with Great Britain and France In

Furthermore. there Is another good
reason for entering the war against
Germany. For a time Catholics stood
FOR neutrality. Now they realize the
purpose OF the war liz to establish the
