been laboring to establish and run me
into one evil while I am endeavoring
to avoid another. But the less must

After FIVE years OF experience in
command of the armies. Washington
thus expressed himself in letter to
the president of the congress, dated
August 20, 1880:
Had we formed permanent army
in the beginning, which, by the con-
tinuance of the same men In service,
had been capable of discipline. we
never should have had to retreat with
handful of men across the Delaware
in 1776, trembling for the fate Of Amer
lea. which nothing but the infatuation
Of tho enemy could have saved; we
should not have remained all the sue
ceeding winter at their mercy, with
sometimes scarcely a sufficient bccy
Of men to mount the ordinary guard.
We should not have been at Valley
Forge, destitute CT everything, IN a
situation neither to resist nor to re-
tire. We should not have seen the
country ravaged, our towns burned.
the inhabitants plundered, abused.
murdered. with impunity.,
Army Expenses Doubled.
"The arrangement OF our finances is
essentially to be ascribed to It. The
expenses of the war and the emissions
of paper money have been greatly
multiplied by 1t. We have great part
OF the time had two sets of men to
feed and to psy-the discharged men
going home and the levies coming In.
"Our discipline has been much hurt,
IL not ruined, by such constant
changes. There is every reason to
believe that the war has been pro-
| tracted on this account"
A little later Washington wrote re-
garding that defeat Of General Gates
at Camden: Regular troops alone are
equal to the exigencies Of modern war
fare. as well for defense as offenss,
and wherever substitute is attcmpt-
cd It must prove illusory and ruinous.
In my ideas Of the true system of
war. the object ought to be to have q
good army rather than q largo one"
During the entire war the lack OF
money entailed greatest suffering upon
the army, but the men Of the continen-
tai army. with the exception Of one
or two regiments, were true to the
end through hunger. cold, sickness,
poverty at home. nakedness and de.
feat For this fidelity there were three
reasons patriotism. training and

Decision to Accept Berlin Declaration
Made at Conference Held BY Wilso"
and LansIng--u. 8. 70 Demand Ar
lies Disarm Merchant Ships.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The contro-
Nersy between the United States and
Germany over the destruction OF the
British liner Lusitania with the loss OF
I16 American lives 10 settled.
Thus Is passing into history an In
cident which at the time OF its occur.
renee threatened to embroil the United
States in the great world war and
which since has brought the country
on several OCCASION perilously close
10 hostillties.
President Wilson and his cabinet re-
garded the settlement effected as fully
meeting the original demands OF the
United States. These demands were
set forth In a note dated May IL last,
Immediately after the Lusitania was
sent to the bottom OF the sea. They
were:
1. Disavowal OF the act of the sub
marine commander.
Q. Reparation in the form of an in
demnity
3. Immediate steps to prevent the
recurrence of such incidents.
Germany promptly expressed regret
that Americans we're drowned and
agreed to pay an indemnity. In Sep
tember she announced liners would
not thereafter be sunk In the zone
about the British Isles unless they re-
sisted or attempted to escape, and In
January she applied this same prin-
1ciple to all merchantmen plying In
the Mediterranean.
Now she has been brought to the
point not of making a formal dis
avowal or of using the word illegal
In describing the act of the subma-
rine officer, but of admitting her liabil-
ity for the loss of neutral life because
of the policy Of retaliation which she
pursued.
This admission Is satisfactory to the
president because he regards 1t as a
recognition of Germany that opera
tions against vessels carrying neutrals
is unjustified and wrong. What the
administration desired above every
thing else, besides stoppage OF the
attacks on passenger ships. was to Sc
: cure an expression from Germany
which would lift the controversy above
the sordid plane of money reparation
Germany will hold that she makes
no such admission. and as a matter
of fact. the language OF the note will
be such that 1t can be interpreted tC
the American public in one way ant
to the German public In another. Here
In effect is what tho kaiser's govern
ment is ready to say and what the
United States has accepted in lieu o
n disavowal:
The destruction OF the Lusitanit
was retaliatory act and Germany II
prepared to pay an indemnity for tn,
American lives lost"
The decision to accept the German
declaration was made at a conference
on Tuesday between the president ant
Secretary Lansing. Later the cabinet
ratified the decision.
Germany will make It clear to tn,
United States that the Lusitanit
question having been disposed of, sh,
will now expect this government Il

REPORTS OF
 MARKETS COTTON-GRAIN-LIVESTOCK.
New YOrkl Cotton.

New York, July 19.-Further buy ing of October by spot houses sus- tained the cotton market early in face of local selling and a disposition to place bearish construction on the weather news. Tho tropical storm appeared off the South Carolina coast, but with an apparent northward di- rectio1. which, it was believed, would carry it away from all but coast sec tions of the belt.
 The opening was steady at a de- cline of 1 point 10 all advance of 2 points, with October at 13O6c Decem- Der 1920 and January 1926. Cables were disappointing early, but at the hour of tho local opening were about as due, with private cables mention ing a poor trade demand and an ab- sence of speculation. Later there was a return of local selling pressure which weakened October to 1903, December to 1919 and January to 1923, or about 1 to points under the previous close.
 The weekly weather report was considered favorable and led to fur their declines around midday. October reached 12.99, December 1915 and January 1918. Interest in the mar ket, however, seemed light and fluc- tuations were narrow with sentiment rather bearish.
 In the last hour the market de- veloped further heaviness from the effects of the weekly crop report and from private reports indicating satis- factory conditions over at least 75 per cent Of the belt, including the largest producing areas and prices lost to 9 points net. with October cffto 12.95, December 1911 and Janu- ary 1916.
