Cotton

Increased spot offerings caused an
easier feeling in May cotton yesterday
and such contracts sold from 19.l8c
down TO 19c, closing at 19.0lc. Other
futures closed from 3 points higher TO
points lower. Improved weather cast
Of the Mississippi River induced selling
Of cotton recently bought on reports
of an unfavorable crop outlook.
Freer selling by spot interests re-
lievcd temporarily at least the anxiety
due to the small supply of actual cot
ton available in this market for delivery
on future contracts.
Private cables attributed the strength
in Liverpool to end-month calling, and
apprehensions Of inadequate supplies
owing to small importations. There
were wires here from New Orleans
which said that spot demand was fall
ing off after the filing of March com
mitments. Southern spot markets as OF
ticially reported were unchanged 10 %
points higher, with New Orleans re-
porting an advance Of II points on
sales OF 2075 bales. Exports for the
day were 6,l62 bales, making 4,2s6'69l
so far this season.

WEAKLINGS WARN OF
DANGERS in FUTURE
Nust Build lid Bodies of Our Youth,
Says Adjutant General Nartieid-
Have Neglected Health.
, Baltimore Star, Aug, 6. 1910

baltimore Star, Aug, g, l9 ~
"Regretable as are the large num-
bers of WeaklingS encountered IN the
physical examinations under the
draft" said Adjutant General Henry
. NJ Warteld yesterday, they convey
to us lesson which we must
promptly grasp, and after grasplng
it, we must proceed to profit by IL.
That lesson is that we must by phySl-
cal training, begun at once, prepare
, our boys who. if not trained, VIII de-
Nelop into WeakingS, TO be strong,
hardy men. not for military service
alone, but in order that they can sue
cessfully cope with the strains OF
modern existence and competition IN
all activities OF life.
The military branch of the gov
ernment has been most previously
disappointed in the physical failures.
Experts had calculated that about
80 per cent of the men drafted
would be physically fit. Instead the
number is under 40 per cent. The
sad lesson is brought home to us in
most striking manner that we have
neglected the health of our boys. We
/ have committed national crime.
We have been recreant to our duties
as parents.
We must at once reform our
whole system with a view to building
up the bodies of our youth. The be-
ginning must be made in our schools,
public and private. and the process
kept up through all the courses un-
til the youth, when a grown man Will
be turned out as finished product,
physically as we'll as mentally. We
could. if We would. and we must,
learn many things from Germany,
and one of them is physical training
by which its national efficiency has
been developed. We must start with
the child in the schools. If he has
any physical defects they must be
eliminated at once to prevent the
wrecks sure to come later. There are
many ailments, simple at first, which
can be cured with proper treatment
in their early stages. While we have
visiting nurses in our public schools,
they have no power to compel pa
rents to have defects in their chill
dren promptly eliminated From IA
10 Is there should be rigid physical
courses in our schools. Our teachers
should be as thoroughly trained in
these as in the mental courses.
After his eighteenth year each
boy should be compelled to undergo
military training. | mention the
military training because it carries
discipline as we'll as physical i'm
provement. | trust that / shall see
the day when at Camp Meade will
be trained 10000 young men every
year. with other similar camps all
over the country in operation. In
view of the large expenditure by the
State Government in clearing the site
and in view of the far larger eXpen-
diture by tn eFederal Government,
we Marylanders should leave no
stone unturped in order that-we may
save this camp after the war for the
training of our boys, that the weak
lings, instead of being far IN the ma
jority, may be reduced to a mini
mum, and generations for all time
developed to meet the onslaughts OF
the daily struggle in all occupations
for existence, a struggle which will
become more acute and harder with
the coming years"

SCHEIDEMANN FOR
OUSTING CABINET
German Socialist Leader Demands
That MichaeliS Government be
Supplanted-A Peace Need, He
Asserts.

Amsterdam, Aug. 8. - Phillip
Scheidemann, leader of the majority
Socialists in the Reichstag, in a
speech delivered recently at Mann
helm Baden before 5000 persons, de-
manded in the interest of peace the
speedy substitution for the present
government of Chancellor Michaelis
of a government really representing
the will of the German people.
Copenhagen, Aug. S.--German So
cialists will oppose the newly consti-
tuted Government at Berlin on prin-
ciple, the Socialist newspaper Vor-
warts says in it's comment on the
Ministerial appointments.
Persons so foolish as to expect a
great gain in the direction Of par
! liamentary regime" says the Catho-
| licnewspaper Germania, will nat
urally be disappointed" but it ex-
presses the opinion that the presence
of Catholic representatives in the
Government greatly improves the
system.
1t appears that DR.. SPAIN, leader
of the Catholic Centre Party in the
Reichstag. will be forced to retire
!
! temporarily, on account of his ap-
pointment as Prussian Minister OF
Justice. He must resign his seat oW-
ing to a Constitutional proviso upon
accepting the portfolio, but it is said
that there is nothing to prevent him
! from standing for reelection. He
will accordingly do this, though he
cannot become a member Of the Bun
desrat.
Emperor William has telegraphed
to Dr. Johannes kaempff, President
of the Reichstag, i'll reply to tele
gram from that body last Sunday
saying, in part:
/ The spirit which sprang three
years ago from the depths OF the peo
pie is still alive among us and has
been shown these days when the
brave fighters under our great battle
leaders have mastered Unprecedented
attacks, and, remembering the siren
9Th of the people, | am sure they
will stand firm until peace guar
anteeing the honor and greatness o.
the country and its happy and sur'
future is obtained.

WANT COAL PRICES
FIXED WITHOUT DELAY
Trade Commissioners Scout So n Ton
Proposal And Advocate Drastic
Federal Action.

Washington, Aug. S.-With the
passage of the Food bill certain MEM
bers of the Federal Trade Commits
sion are outspoken in their BELIEF
that the Government should at the
earliest moment take up the coal
situation and fix prices.
This recommendation is predicted
upon the assertion that price of So
a ton for the bituminous coal at the
mouth of the mine is unfair to the
Government, and the consuming pub
lie, and that coal operators will make
large profits if any such agreement
is put into effect.
The fact of the matter is that the
Government may exercise the powers
conferred in it by the food control
legislation unless the operators agree
to a price considerable under So at
the mine 1t is understood that gov
ernmental agencies already have
made it known definitely that they
would not pay such price.
Among those firmest in the posi-
ton that drastic action should be ac-
complished without delay is Commits
sioner Colver. He feels that the coal
operators are not meeting the needs
of the country on the proper basis.
The powers possessed by the Gov
ernment in regarded to coal are set
forth in Section 25 of the Food Con-
troll bill. 1t reads:
That the President of the United
States shall be, and he is hereby au-
thorized and empowered whenever
and wherever in his judgment neces-
sary for efficient prosecution of the
war, to fix the price of coal and coke,
wherever and whenever sold, either
| by the producer or dealer, to estab-
Iish rules for the regulation and to
regulate the method of production,
sale, shipment, distribution, appor-
! tionment, or storage thereof among
dealers and consumers, domestic or
| foreign; said authority and power
may be exercised by him in each case
! through the agency of the Federal
! Trade Commission during the war or
! for such part of said time as in his
| judgment may be necessary.
The members of the Federal Trade
| Commission who are urging this ac-
! ton are willing, however, it was said
! today. to come to an agreement
which will fit in with their ideas OF
| the general price fixing arrangement.
They are not convinced that the coal
operators will hold out against a ia
vorable agreement, but are deter
mined to do all in their power to
force the matter if the operators do
not meet the situation.
These Commissioners feel that the
coal supply is one of the most i'm
portant angles of a price-tiNing pro-
gram on such as was suggested by
today's statement by the War Indus
tries Board. The Federal Trade
Commission has made an investiga-
tion of the production cost of coal,
and it is understood has much in
formation at hand which shows that
bituminous coal can be sold at the
mouth of the mine, with a fair proflt,
at a price considerably below the -
suggested at a meeting of the opera
tors with representatives of the
Council of National Defense.
