ment's Financial Policy
Is Rightly Directed

a luncheon of the Bond club of New York
today. Frank VANDERBILT president of the
National City bank, predicted that the
next liberty loan and succeeding ones, If
necessary, would be successfully fioated.
Those who heard him were bankers and
bond statesmen who participated in the
flotation of the last liberty loan and who
have established a permanent organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Vanderlip said he believed whole
heartedly that the governments financial
policy has been properly directed since
the outbreak of the war and the pro-
posals of the administration at present
before Congress were wise in every par
ticular.
The speaker remarked that while the
job Of floating the next loan would be
an enormous one, the perfection of dis
tributihg methods, q better understanding
Ief what to do, the willingness of a great
army of volunteers through the country
to carry on the campaign of education
as regards the war. all would make the
work easier than during the first cam
paign.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Active and Excited Movements -Bullish Crop Reports and War Aid Advance-New Crop Deliveries Slow.

New York, April 5.-The cotton market has had an active and excited week. The nervousness which has been evident in connection with inter national affairs on the declines to- ward the end of March was followed by an outburst of bullish enthusiasm, once uncertainty had been eliminated by the presidents address to Con gress.
 Rapid advances encountered heavy realizing in advance of the adjourn men for over Easter, but buying to- day was further stimulated by re- newal of heavy rains in the Eastern belt and bullish spot advices. May contracts, which had sold as low as 1872 at the opening on Monday, touched at 20.32 during today's trad ing-the highest reached since that particular delivery broke to 12.50 on February 1, when the German sub marine announcement was published
 New crop deliveries were rather slow in following the near-month ad- vances during the earlier part of the week, owing to two or three days of more favorable weather, but today'a rain news brought in a broadening demand, with October selling at 1875 or more than $6 per bale above the recent low level.

Some men are just beginning to realize that the women will be a factor in primary elections hereafter It is interesting to note that candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention who have been anti-suffragists heretofore are coming out strong for suffrage to be written into the constitution. No one so far as observed has had the temerity to announce his opposition to it, although one has suggested that no candidate should commit himself upon such questions, but enter the convention with an open mind.

STRICT ECONOMY IN
 ALL STATE DEPARTMENTS

Little Rock, April 6.-The strictest economy is to be practiced in all ln- stitutions and departments of the state. not inconsistent with efficiency, if the counsel of Gov. Brough is heed ed during the next two years. A strenuous effort is to be made to hold down the expenditures so that they will not exceed the revenue and the proceeds of the $700,000 note issue.
 As an example of what is being done, the stat superintendent IS re- ouesting all county examiners and superintendents to make their de- mand for supplies as reasonable as possible" Other departments are doing the same thing, and the effort will be to avoid extravaganza and waste.

TO INCREASE FOOD
 CROPS OF SOUTH
Carl VrOOman, Assistant Secre- tary of Agriculture, Address es Series of Conferences at Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, April 5.--Plans for an extensive campaign to increase the food crops of the South as a war mea- sure were being laid here today in a series of conferences participated in by the Atlanta and Georgia Cham bers of Commerce, the Southern Cat tlemen's Association and the Special Food Crops Agricultural School, an organization of women.

1ondon April 5.-British and Rus ;an natrols have got into touch with .aob other in Mesopotamia, the Asso- ;atod Press was informed today by Moi Gen F. B. Maurice, chief direc- +or of military operations at the war office.
 In the British front in France cav airy skirmishing has given way to infantry advance guard fighting, re .,lt;nc in more severe actions and oroater captures of material and men occording to Gen. Maurice.
 "The fighting is becoming more severe along the line of the enemy re- tiroment until it can now be said that cavalry skirmishing has given way to an infantry advance guard action, with the natural result that the ac- tions are becoming harder, with more tangible results in the way of prison DTS and material" said Gen. Maurice in his weekly talk to the Associated Press "You know, we recently have taken six guns. Along the northern sector of our advance the enemy has reached a fortified line, where he is certain to put up a fight. Elsewhere on the Somme front actual infantry contact is noted

PATRIOTIC PEOPLE UNITE FOR THE WAR
 AGAINST TEUTONS
United States Mobilizing Re sources Never Before Equall-
 ed - Though Comparatively
 Small, Army Highly Efficient.

Washington, April 5.-Actual and potential resources which, all told, probably never have been equalled by any other nation in the history of the world are brought into the war under the American flag.
 Into the balance against Germany are thrown navy in strength and eGciency among the foremost ahoat; an army comparatively small, but highly eZcient, backed by citizenry of upwards of 20,000,00O capable of military duty; industrial resources in- comparably the greatest in the world, already moblized for public service; and the moral force of more than 100,000,000 Americans.
 Although much remains to be done, officials believe the nations destinies are secure now. The slowly matur- ing preparedness sentiment has borne fruit in military, naval and industrial preparations which already have put the United States on a defense basis not even hoped for two years ago.
 The navy, the first line of defense, has added new units to meet the Ger man tactics, and through the patriotic cooperation of ship and material makers is hurrying to completion other mighty fighting craft that will be the last word in power and ef1ic- iency. Authorized but ten days ago to recruit to the full war strength of S7,000 men, the navy already has al- most attained that total. To provide additional officers a class of midship- men has been graduated three months ahead of it's time. A newly organized coast patrol of submarine chasers is on duty and hundreds of small craft to augment it are under construction.
 Army preparations are less com- plete because of the uncertainty over what Congress will authorize for that ! branch of the service. The regulars numbering nearly l2O,000, and tram ed and equipped in a way which their officers believe matches unit fo1 unit the boasted efficiency of Ger manys best, are ready to respond overnight to whatever call may come Without additional authorization by Congress the regulars and guardsmen | could be recruited to a combined strength of 100000.
 ] Industrial preparations have pro- duced a great compact scheme of na- tional resources, with almost unlim- ited possibilities. The council of na- tional defense not only has worked out a different and detailed mobiliza- tion plan. but it has secured the in- dorsement and pledges of the men who can put it into effect at mo- ments notice, bringing to the aid of the military arm of the service the ! full resources of the richest nation organized with characteristic Yankee skill and business thoroughness.
