New YORK COTTON MARKET.
Quotations by miller q Co.. Members
New York Cotton, ExchaaEe.b

New York. March 27.--Active soil
ting by Wall street weakened the
cotton market today. some stop orders
we're uncovered. Uncertainty as to po-
NticA developments restricted buying.
In some quarters reactionary sentiment
was based partly on an idea that spot
cotton brought out on the recent ad-
vance must be digested. The weather
bureau will begin the publication of
weekly reports for the season on April
II.
Heavy Wall street liquidation devel-
oped early in the nnal hour and under
this pressure prices broke sharply. new
crops Mt one time showing a net loss
of 25 points, while the summer months
declined IL TO 1s points. covering
movement brought about a moderate
rally near the close. Final prices were
two to twsnty-four points net lower
Port receipts for the day were 20131
bales compared with 20.704 bales last
week and 22,704 bales last year
Spot cotton here was quiet. 10 points
lower AT 1910; the sales were 500 bales
The spot article at New Orleans wat
steady, IL points lower on the basis
of 1854 for middlinR; the sales were
1.548 bales

misrepresented Wisconsin by his con-
duct in the closing hours of the SEN

last week by & former adherent VINO

naign. Senator J. Henry Bennett, and
a bitter fight will be made for its adop-
ton.
These messages, with one exception
so far as known, are all anu-La Fol-
lette. One Milwaukee paper, avowedly
o-German as against the Allies, has
declared that 90 per cent of the state is
with La Toilette, but the spontaneous
outburst here of sentiment evidences
universal resentment at his course,

can city in the United States.

dents armed neutrality" stand, he
said, was not conceived as a step tow
ards war, but as means of protecting
American ships upon the high seas to
compel Germany &c recede from its po-
sition and TO end the war.
"If the crisis demands that we enter
the conflict TO end the European war, y
he said, German American will enter
the fight with the same devotion, no
matter what the cost, as in 1851. when
they sent 176.o00 men TO fight for the
reservation of the Union"
There could be no division among
Americans, he said, although there
could and must be diversity Of opin-
ions, as every American had the right
20 hold and express his views. The
German-American Alliance was heartily
in favor of universal military training,
he asserted, but not of "militarism, the
curse Of Europe"
"The German-American Alliance" he
said, was not organized 70 help the
Kaiser interfere with the President Of
the United States but 70 arouse the
citizens of German birth 70 higher
sense OF duty-not TO form a state
within a state, but for patriotic pur-
pose"

Filibuster Is Called a
Political Disgrace
Wickersham Sees 2 Courses
Open to Nation

The flibuster at Washington was
characterized as a political disgrace"
by George W. Wickersham, former
United States Attorney General, who
engaged in a spirited debate last night
with DR.. Norman Thomas, chairman of
the Transcription League, before
the Civic Forum in Public School 81,
Brooklyn. He asserted that two roads
lay open to this country-peace with
out honor or war with honor and
added that the election of peace
rather than honor always has led to
war with dishonor."
DR.. Thomas replied that he believed
the collective thought In America
would prove successful in finding So
luton for the present crisis.
"The people at large" he said, "are
less concerned with Germany ind her
activities than with the Vaccinations
of so-called Americans at home who
made it impossible for a certain part
of our population TO get enough to eat.
| believe we ought 10 first build up the
honor OF the nation within. This stuff
about national honor IL mostly bunk"

State Head of Alliance De-

Henry Weismann, state president OF
the German American Alliance, called
on German Americans to unite in sup
port of the President last night, adj
dressing an audience OF three hundred,
mostly Germans, at the Brooklyn
Forum of the Peoples Institute, 4
Court Square.
"A division of opinion in Congress
from the President" he said, "can be
only doing bad service to Americans.
Stand united with our government!
That is my principle"
It was sincerely TO be hoped, Mr..
weismann said, that the nation would
stand behind the President, whose
every effort. he believed, was bent tow

interests" seeking war. The Presi-

Mississippi Denounces
Vordonon for Filibuster

jackson, Miss, March 4.-Mississippi
was not at all surprised at Senator
Vardaman's action yesterday. but he is
being roundly denounced on all sides
for his latest flibuster speech. The
people of Mississippi are almost unani-
mously in sympathy with President
Wilson in his present difficulties and
cannot understand why one OF their
Senators should so persistently MS
represent them. Many Of those who
have heretofore backed Vardaman are
now clamoring for his official scalp and
freely predicting he will never be re-
turned TO the Senate.
Just before leaving for Washington
Saturday 70 participate in the inaugu-
ration Governor Bilbo stated that he
was confident there was only one man
in Mississippi who is opposed TO Presi-
dent Wilson and his policy-meaning
Vardaman-and that he was going to

Viereck Sees Victory
In Senate's Action

THE defeat Of the bill TO arm ships

said George Sylvester Viereck. at

cess Of the bill would have meant the
abdication of the Senate and the estab-
lishmcnt of dictatorship. IL would
have been autocracy in the guise Of
patriotism.
I'VE shall never be able to thank
sufficiently the men who stood by their

tional for President Wilson 10 order

Cycle Of National
Excuses Is Complete

The cycle Of our national excuses is
complete. The President points to
the country and to Congress. Con-
gress points TO Messrs. Stone and La
Toilette and the rules. All the world
may know that the only thing which
stands between America and the Wig
orous assertion of American rights
upon the seas is these two men and
their ability TO talk against time.
If the picture which Congress pre-
sents is true-apd IL had every mark
OF truth--the country is utterly I'M
prepared for war. 1t is incapable of
facing the situation seriously. II is
shutting It's eyes to its moral respon-
sibilities. 1t is without leadership. 1t
is without a policy. II has muddled
along since the great war began, and
thinks that II IT can muddle along
short while more the danger will
pass and the damage to the national
self-respect will not be uncomfortable.
Some of this lack of mental and moral
preparedness springs from lack OF
material preparedness. Had Mr.. vii.
son taken the obvious measures from
tho outset for strengthening the ma
tional defence. the attention Of peo-
pic would have been directed to ma
tional defence. The public would now
have convictions upon the subject Of
national defence and the Adminstra-
ton would not have suffered its pres
ent humiliation Mt the hands Of
Mcsnrs Stone and La Enllntle
