No Longer Fears
 Submarine Menace

e ECRETARY DANIELS is con- " vinced that the submarine men, ace will shortly be "curtailed." q am not only confident but I know" stated the secretary in a recent in- terview. However, he makes it clear that there is no 'spatent way'' of putting the submarine out of busi- ness. This object will be attained by ~uying methods which the allies have adopted and perfected and which they have applied with all the energy at their command to the U-boat prob- lem.
 Mir. Daniels talks like a man who knows, and there is every reason to believe that his prediction will come true. By saying the submarine would be "curtailed," the secretary made statement that can be interpreted in various ways. He probably meant, however, that even if the German submarine is not eliminated as fac tor in the war, it's capacity for mis- chief will be so reduced that it will become negligible factor.
 The hope that some inventive ge- nius would perfect a device that would make the submarine impotent has proved fallacious. It did not promise much to begin with. But in- ventors have been working to good purpose, nevertheless,' and the instru- ments now available to the allies will accomplish the purpose for which they were intended.

Cotton Prices and
 the Cotton Farmer

WHEN men in touch with the
 w cotton situation predicted a few weeks ago that the price would reach 35 cents before April some there were who thought the forecast too optimistic.
 But the market has been firm at ad- vancing levels and it is easy now to imagine that spot will continue up- ward until it commands 38 or 40 cents. It should not, be surprising to see a 40-cent spot market by May Yesterday the quotation was 321a cents.
 At this time of the year as rule 50 little cotton is left on the farm as to be practically a negligible quantity. It is somewhat different now. While comparatively few grow CTS have many bales under the shed, some of them have held,on to enough to reap large benefits. They have faith in the future strength of the market and will be found with cotton on hand when it is selling at S5 or 40 cents.
 AS good prices ruled last fall no farmer failed to make his crop pay well, even if he was in a hurry to sell; but those who marketed gradu- ally got a big average price-a price that made for prosperity-and the few who are yet holding will recall the cotton year of 1917-1S as the best a in the south's history.
 The spinners are selling their out put It large advance over last year

She had not thought of depriving any one of light and air. And the world took her at her word. That is the tragedy.
