BERNE, Nov. l4.-There has just
arrived here from Germany a natur-
allied American who has lived in Ger
many throughout the war, worked in
German seaport cities, passing for or
being considered a German subject,
mingling not only with the common
people, but having occasional access
to the councils of the high.
In his opinion Germany is suffering
acutely now and dissatisfaction and
worse reign in certain strata of her
army and navy. Recent mutinous up
risings have had to be sternly re-
pressed and the mutineers shot.
Thoughtful Germany, he thinks, com.
prising men of the Balm type, is
desperately anxious for peace and Sc
cretly anxious to end the war before
America has been utterly alienated.
This man left Germany early in
October. because he had reason to
fear that he was going to be Impress
ed for military service. The German
government had refused to recognize
the validity of his American naturali
cation since he failed to comply with
the law existing in 1913 and did not
seek the consent of the German gov
eminent to his step. To get out he
had to induce the Spanish embassy to
bring pressure to bear on the Ger
man government. On reaching Swift
erland one OF his first steps was to
seek The Associated Press CORE
spondent, to whom he first proved
satisfactorily his American citizen.

ton as he possessed about Germany
as the duty of patriotic American
citizen. Strangely enough, at the very
moment he was telling his story with
details about mutiuies in the German
navy. the German minister of marine
Admiral Won Capelle, was announcing
the naval mutinies to the reichstag.
'The economic situation in Ger

flied, of course, III some degree, by
varying conditions as they develop.
The cotton trade has not yet be-
come fully adjusted to these new
levels. The problem Of this adjust
mont will be added to the other prob
lens we have named, which the cot
ton trade will have to meet in COM
mon with the balance of the business
community. In reciting these things,
we do not mean to sound a pessimis-
tic note. On the contrary, we feet
optimistic about the future. We full
ly realize. however, that the life on
an optimistic outlook depends on
rankly recognizing the difficulties CT
the future and being prepared to
meet them.
The greater volume Of business is
always cautions. In fact, its most
marked tendency is toward ultra-coa-
servatism. Hence, in times like these,
through the loss Of great opportuni-
ties, ones future is more frequently
impaired by over-caution than it is by
over-confidence. We think it we'll,
therefore, to especially emphasize this
view at this time. Digest your un-
dertakings thoroughly, then pursue
your convictions with confidence,
courage and conservatism. Above al,
don't be whimsical. In the big and
moving events just ahead there is
clearly no place for the hysterical
individual.
The weakness of cotton will not
come from its financial necessities. A
failure to get a good part of the sur
plus in this country would tremen-
dously weaken the Allied powers,
both in their military and economic
resistance. The responses Of the
neutral nations to President Wilson's
move indicate closer concert be
tween these nations for the protection
of their rights. 1t is q formidable
power which none of the belligerents
would hardly care to challenge I'M
der evisting conditions. Such chal-
lenge could easily be fatal to either
side. So, if peace should fail we
hardly think there will be such a
ruthless invasion of the rights of neu-
trails as many fear. We would not be
influenced by such news.
Whether there is war or peace, the
dominant trend of the market is al
most certain to be toward forcing a
normal relation between the price Of
cotton and the price Of cotton cloth.
# the demand and the price of one
IS sustained, the demand and the price
Of tie other will be sustained also.
What affects one will affect both.
We have an abiding faith in the
