THE SEA BATTLE.

People who have studied the Euro
pean war in an effort to find some
clue which might give an inkling as
to when the end would come, feel that
an impending naval battle of gigantic
proportions will bring that era.
An eminent British naval officer has
+ said that he believed a huge Anglo
Teutonic naval battle was not far dis
tant The late afternoon dispatches
Tuesday stated that twenty German
, dreadnaughts had left Kiel harbor,
ard this message had been delayed by
the censors.
Regardless of ones attitude to-
wards the struggle, whether he be pro-
ally, or pro-Teutonic, it must be admit
ed that each day the war lasts the
tendency is towards Germanic defeat.
If it is to be a war of endurance then
the entente allies have every advant.
age. The resources of Russia, Gerat
Britain, France and her allies are I'M
limited, having as they do the four
corners of the globe to draw from.
While the Teutons are cooped in
band of steel with their merchant
marines rottening and the hulks of
their ships anchored in docks.
An offensive of remarkable intensity
has been launched against the strong
fortress of Verdun Military author
tiles have considered this point bull
wark of defense along the entire west
ern front. The Germans chose to attack
lhere-and the Fatherland, that I'M
American newspaper published in
here in keeping with the true spirit of
the Teutonic race This newspaper
states that the Germans attack the
strong-and not the weak. This may
be real enlightening thunder for the
political orator and the singing poet,
but it doesn't go well in war.
Therefore, granting that the entente
allies have no hope in breaking the
German defenses, it is equally true in
tie reverse.
Many believe that the high-tide of
the German cause has been reached,
and from now on their star is in the
wane.
Gathered in the port of Kiel, a.
Gibralter constructed by man, is a
huge feet. And until that feet sallies
forth to encounter the circle of English
battleships, the Germans will not
concede defeat.
1t may be argued that the Germans
have nothing to gain by victory on
the seas, because they are outnumb-
cred in scores of fighting ships But
the German race has popularity of
attempting things which the public
can't understand-and they may have
a reason.

WARRANT HIGHER PRICES.

In a letter sent out by the cotton
house of Johnston, Storm & Co., New
York, a discussion is found as to the
conditions of the cotton market at this
time-when, these factors believe, the
prices should be higher than they are
1t is suggested that the conditions are
similar to those which existed in the
spring of 1914, the year when the war
began. 1t is suggested also that with
a recent decline which has never
been recovered, there is no incentive
to planting a larger acreage this year
than last. The letter says:
1t is far too early, of course, to
even make the widest guess of next
years production, but along this line
of thought we find a material reduc-
ton in fertilizer, particularly in the
edoIeIH DSlt, lOlAoWlHS d hSdfS ISuuS-
ton last year, and the growth will be
attempted upon impoverished lands,
and it is a we'll known fact that cotton
Just like children, needs proper food,
and if the plant does not get food it
will not develop into a strong, healthy
and producing product. In the west
ern belt we hear reports of deficiency
of rainfall, and that is the most ser
ious condition that could confront tina:
section of the cotton belt.
We must keep in mind the fact thai
great deal of cotton has been held
all during the season by men finan
cially able to hold until the price is
satisfactory to them, and who have
stated all year, and still state, that
their cotton is not for sale at these
prices, and will be held until next
year, if necessary. To all intents and
purposes this cotton is off the market
There is also good deal of cotton
owned and held in this country by for
eign interests, which will not be sold
according to present reports. These
two facts taken in conjunction with
the small visible supply make a very
strong underlying situation and one
that in our opinion will warrant and
cause very much higher prices, pro-
vided this country continues to be
blessed with peace.
Another bullish feature at the mo-
ment is spinners' takings which up to
February 25th were S,362,243 bales
against 7,630,435 last year (the total
takings last year were 14,O4O,OO1
tales From shese figures the con.
clusion can be justly drawn that spin
ners' takings will at least equal last
year, and if this is the case it will
leave US an extremely moderate visi-
bic supply, SO moderate in fact that we
expect much higher prices based on
this argument alone.
We believe that the fundamental
conditions warrant higher prices, and
IL it were not for the complex and
nerve racking political outlook we
would strongly advise the purchase of
cotton at these prices.
While the time may not be just OPP
perfume for commencing operations for
a bull campaign, we strongly advise
against sales at this level
