Why Japan Should B. Faithful.

Washington IS suffering from . pe-
riodic recurrence Of the rm~or that
Japan is contemplating d severance of
her alliance with Great Britain. l. Is
quite true, as various japanese writ
ers have been pointing out, that the
chief basis Of the Anglo-Japarese cora-
pact in the beginning va. unity
against Russia and that ,lll5 issue Is
now out of date. But there ara rca-
sons why it is prudent to hold in dis-
trust any stories which purport 70 re-
veal an approaching severance Of close
relationship between tn too lnsulaI
empires
Hitherto, despite the outaies ii
jingoes, the leaders ol japanese
thought and politics have pursued an

that will be the third in succession well
below the amount consumed. They
forecast also, that the surplus will
probably be reduced to dangerous
minimum. These things neutralize,
logically, the basis on which the reac-
itionary feeling current in the future
market has been, and is still, predi-
Gated. The spot market has not sym
Epathized in any material way with
this feeling. The fact is, spot cotto !
has not followed future contracts
through the limits of any decline du'
ring the last five OF six years.
The lower spot quotations, which
have sometimes appeared on sue" oc-
casions, have usually reflected conces-
Isions on hedged cotton which showed
a good average price when both ends
of the transaction were closed out.
Hence upon the whole il seems safe
ito assume that neither the EXPORT Sit
yuation nor the problem of financing
the surplus will disturb the producer.
The indications point to s.eady re-
sistance below % cents and that
around 20 cents the producer would
not hesitate to face carrying his cot
ton for an indefinite time.
Do Not Carry Cotton.
The situation, in our Judgment, does
not warrant the consuming interest
lin carrying more cotton than IS neces-
sary to meet current requirements.
Nor does it warrant leaving obliea-
tions unprotected in the hope OF COW
lerning at lower prices. The soundest
policy will doubtless be to keep suff1-
oinet cotton on hand to insure the
steady movement O. business at It's
normal volume.
The discounts IA the contact mar
ket offer excellent opportunities to Sc
cure supplies and cover commitments.

designated necessaries also Is pro

Presidential Powers.
The bill also authorizes the presl-
cent to requisition, for military or
public defense needs, all necessarles
named. and, to guarantee reasonable
pricese to producere and consumere, to
buy and sell fuele, wheat. flour, meal,
beans and potatoes. The bill also au-
thorizes the president to requisition
and operate any factory, packing
house. mine or oil pipe lines, at just
for military or public
defense uses.
Regulation of grain and other food
stuff markets, to prevent injurious
speculation or undue enhancement of
prices, is another power conferrede up
on the food administration through
the president.
Another clause, inserted by the Sen
ate after much criticism of alleged
sale by members of the advisory COM
missioners of their own products to
the government, prohibits federal
agents from soliciting or inducing con-
tracts with the government in which
they are interested.

Recently.

Honolulu, T. H., July % (By mail)-
TIL ewreck of an unknown sailing YES
sci, apparently, abandoned, lies on the
shores of Jaris island, according to
a report brought to Honolulu last Sum
day, July %, by the steamer Wanna
rine of the Union Steamship Company,
New Zealand.
Before leaving Suva, where she had
stopped for bunkers, the Waimarino
received cable orders to search for
the steamer Wairuna, of the same
I line. which was long overdue and for
which grave apprehension was felt
Accordingly Captain Foster searched
/ in the neighborhod of Jarvis and
Christmas islands for her, but found
40 sign of the los vessel.
/ But on Jervis island he sighted the
/ wreck of some other vessel, high and
dry on the beach, with all her mastS
gone. Through his glasses he could
( see that the beach was piled with
wreckage and cargo, but there wa
no sign Of human life in the neighbor-
! hod of the wreck.
AS the wrecked vessel was evidently
not the one for which he was search
ing, Captain Foster did not send /
boat ashore, so when he reached Homo
lulu he could not tell what the name
of the vessel, nor could he be posi-
tive that there were no survivors.

1LyOus that it is etoo expensive and

handled By private firms. The truth
Is, the government alone can meet

years. So it seems best to ignore all
unofficial crop news and make only
official news the basis of our conclu-
sionz as to the crops development.
South's Good Crop.
Summed up on this basis, primary
conditions seem to support the gov
ernment's recent condition report. The
preparation of the crop was good, ex-
cept in a rather extended area east Of
the river. The cultivation has, no
doubt, been excellent throughout. The
start was about two weeks late and
The stands are rather Indifferent in
many sections. The drought has prob
ably permanently impaired the crop in
4 considerable part of west and south
west Texas. South Mississippi and all
Of Louisiana will probably make TIE

spite Of the weevil During the last
two weeks, however, the ravages Of the
weevil in other sections has become
great and they win probably take a
heavy toll Of the crop.

FINAL DRAFT OCT. II
687, 900 Men Will Be in Camp
November |.
Seven Million Remaining Registered
Men to Be Examined Soon-
Other LevIes Are Planned.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The final 10
per cent Of the drafted men will be
called October II.
The entire 6S7,OOO men will be in
environments under intensive training
by November 1.
This information was made public
at the war department, together with
the fact that within two weeks Presi-
dent Wilson will authorize Marshal
General CrOWder to proceed with the
examination of the 100000 registered
men not called in the present draft.
In addition 1T was stated new draft
is under discussion, although tenta-
tive date has not been set.
Soon approximately 100000 men
from the National army cantonments
will be transferred to National Guard
camps to recruit the militia to war
strength. A similar number of men
will be drafted to keep the National
army camps full. Instead of new
big draft it is likely series of drafts
ranging from $4,000 up will be resort
ed to. These will keep the National
army camps full as various units sail
for France.
Meanwhile the provost marshal's Of
flee is concentrating to have the en-
tire present draft mobilized by Novem-
ber l. Approximately 100000 are in
the 16 environments. More than 25O,-
600 additional will begin to mobilize on
Friday. By October II the full 50
per cent-with the exception of GER
tain negro conscripts-will be in the
camps, and then the movement of the
remaining 1O3,O50 men will begin.
America will have set the record
of having selected, examined, drafted,
summoned and mobilized an army of
6S7,OOO within little more than three
months
