THE nations of the old world are
now looking to US for cotton as never
before. In the first place they cannot
produce the kind of cotton that we
produce, and in the second place, they
they are compelled to use their acre.

The peasants have several small ar
mics of $4,000 to 10000 each, armed

These are defending the villages and

The fight is not of a political char

Washington.-President Wilson We

The veto had been expected, be-
cause of a provision added to the
bill, forbidding the REIMBURSEMENT of
any road where a connecting or com
peting line was retained. This was
construed as meaning that the gov
eminent would have to resume pos
session of a large number of short
lines relinquished a few hours before
congress passed the bill.
Many, if not all, of the feeders to
main lines, the president said in his
veto message, are very important and
essential, but there are about LOO
short lines which are merely private
conveniences of logging, commercial
and other companies, which have not
been taken into the federal system.

RULERS FLY TO ENGLAND
King Albert And Queen elizabeth
Made The Trip In Fifty
Minutes

LOndon.-A royal air escort of three
Belgian seaplanes guarded King Al.
bert and Queen Elizabeth on their
] fight over the channel from Belgium
to England on a trip which marked
the first time that any ruler has ever
made an air flight from one country
to another. The royal couple travelled
in separate seaplanes, each operated
by a Belgian army aviator On the
British side of the channel the king
landed first near a British warship of
Dover. The queen descended soon af-
forwards, her seaplane also landing
near a warship.
They started from the Belgian coast
and made the trip to England in about
fifty minutes. The purpose of their
visit to England was to attend the sill
yer anniversary of King George and
Queen Mary, July Is.
This is the first time since the war
began that King Albert has visited
London, and virtually the first time
since August, 1914, that he has been
outside of his native land. The only
time he has been outside of Belgium
has been during one or two informal
trips into France
r Queen Elizabeth was most enthusi-
astic about the voyage, despite the fact
that she has ridden in airplanes be- |
fore. The king has made many |
flights.

BLOW WAS STRUCK IN PIcARoY

CASTEL VILLAGE CAPTURED
French Attacked On Front OF Three
Miles And Penetrated German
Lines For Over A Mile

New York.-Striking the Germans
on a front that has been quiet for
the past six weeks, the French have
once more broken through the enemy
defenses and advanced their lines:
This new blow at the enemy was
launched between Castel and MaillS,-
Raineval, on the Picardy front, south
east of Amiens. where there has been
hut little fighting since the French
by local attack pushed the Germans
out Of Senecat wood late in May.
The attack was along the front of
approximately three miles. 1t swept
the Germans back out of the village
of Castel and the Anchin farm, about
a nile to the south, and cleared a
number of strong enemy positions.
The French penetrated the German
Tines to depth of more than a mile
The American attack on Cantigny,
some time ago, advanced the line ma
terially at that point, while the Aus
tralians and Americans July 4 and 6,
cut deeply into the German lines at
Hamel and Vilers Bretonnex, south
of the Somme. The French attack
was launched at a point between po-
srions of the Americans, at Cantigny,
and the Australians, further north.
The French lines south of Castel |
have been parallel to and westward of |
the Are river. The success gained |
there carries the French up to the |
hills to the west of the river and into
positions which appear to dominate
the villages of Morisel, on the west
bank, and Moreuil, on the east bank of
the river. If the attack should con-
tinue successfully. the French may be
able to press the foe back across the
Ayre and thus have an admirable de-
aensive position to the southeast of
Amiens.
