As soon as I was dressed I went

found some rope. Then back again on
deck. and made myself q hammock,
which I rugged up on the boat deck,
figuring that I would have a nice sun
bath, as the weather had at last
turned clear.
As 500 as ! had the hammock
strung I went down to the baker and
had a nice chat with him-and stole q
few hot buns, which was what l was
reilly after-and away to the galley
for breakfast. I was almost exactly

out on deck. I stepped out Of the gal
ley just In time to see the fun. The
ship was just opposite us when away
went u wireless and some Of the
boats on the starboard side, and then,
boom! boom ! and we heard the report
Of the guns. I heard the shrapnel
whizzing around us just as I had many
q time before. I jumped back in the
galley and Chips and the cook were
shaking so hard they made the pans
rattle.
When the firing stopped I went up
to the boat deck. I had on all Of my
clothing, but instead Of shoes I was
wearing q pair Of wooden clogs. The
men and boys were crazy-rushing
around the deck and knocking each
other down, and everybody getting in
everybody else's way. We lowered our
Jacobs ladders, but some Of the men
and boys were already In the water.
Why they jumped I do not know.
Then the German raider Moewe
headed right in toward us and !
thought she was going to am US. but
she backed water about thirty yards
away. She lowered a lifeboat and It
made for the George, passing our

try is engaged, with allies, in war in

there are no sign-posts to guide ii the
management of affairs in our country
People are coming more and more
tC a recognition of what must be the
immensity Of the part that this coun-
try will have to take in the conflict
in Europe and of the fact that the
needs of the government for the prose
cution of the war are paramount.
The country is highly prosperous,
and the belief is general that this pros
rerity will continue, with probably in
creaslng volume, at least to the end
of the war, so great will be the de-
mand for labor and products
Factories in .uany lines are being
operated overtime, For practically
everything that land will produce three

COTTON Sells FOR
TH!RTY-TWD CENTS

ATLANTA, Ca Jan. atlanta
spot cotton was quoted yesterday at
31.90 cents by the Atlanta Commercial
Exchange, while the Atlanta Ware
house Company posted fiat price of
80 cents. Both established new rec
ords Cotton has not gone to 80 cents
since the world shortage following
the close of the Civil War, when the
Souths production reached low ebb
on account of the economic upheaval
incident to war and emancipation.
Atlanta's business men and bankers
believe there will be little if any de-
cline in the price of cotton when the
war is over. They point to the fact
that Germany's supply is practically
exhausted and she will be in the mar
ket for enormous quantities, while
the re3um ton of the textile industry
IN England will create q demand for
ali the cotton the South can raise.
All in all, here is every prospect in
the world that the Souths prosperity
viii continue unabatel when the war
is over. as all the products Of this
section win be selling at high prices
and all the products which this Sec
ton buys should be selling at prices
greatly reduced
