GERMANY'S COTTON
T Ellsworth Huntingdon I'm Asia

Ellsworth Huntington in Asia.
Since the war began everyone has
learned that cotton is not merely the
most important of all materials for
clothing, but that 1t is also the basis
of the most powerful explosives.
almost nothing has bothered Ger
many more than her deficient cotton
supply. Before the war we were
sending her az to 3 million bales of
cotton per year. each bale containing
500 pounds. The Germans also
bought cotton elsewhere. The war
cut their available supply practi-
cally to zero. One can readily see
what the situation Is from the fol-
lowing table showing the approx
mate production in 5e0-pound bales'

HOME RULE FOR CITIES

~ ENATOR Beidleman favors a

right. We have had so many ex-
periments that have been disappoint-

the classification of cities. AS Sena-
tor Beidleman suggests, these i'm

their own salvation along the lines
out the ham-stringing of laws which
cannot under the most generous con-
struction be interpreted to cover the
various problems which are con-
stantly arising and Which are in most
cases purely local.
Harrisburg has made steady pro-
gress under the various systems of
government wished upon it, but the
signs are everywhere manifest which
Justify some such home rule meas
ure as has been proposed from time
to time in the messages of the gov
ernors of Pennsylvania.
AS there will be many problems
to determine in the reconstruction
period after the war, home-rule bill
should be worked out for the next
session of the Legislature. so that the
cities of the State, within certain
limitations, may go on their way
without let or hindrance from other
cities which are not concerned with
the same problems.

throne Of the power-crazed.
But whose rejoicing is caused by
obedience to the word of God and the

Therefore in the latter day shall the

the gratitude Of the many peoples.
and the blossom of that seed shall not

Thus it is written that the ungodly

Therefore these of such baseness

LIEUT.. BLOOD" HERE.
BY y. ". LIE vANE,
Ex-Actins Sergeant 18th ompan

O@~~R~~-~
In the Depot Brigade there is first
lieutenant who is called Lieut..
BLOOD" by his fellow officers, the
name originating at Camp Sheridan.
You might think that this lieutenant
was o full-blooded Sioux Indian. but
such Is not the case. It Is the name
that was given to Lieut.. John (Jack)
r. Nolte. now commanding the 2Sd
Development Company. by the officers
and men of the 145th Infantry Of the
37th Division, where the lieutenant
was stationed last winter as assistant
bayonet Instructor with that regi.
ment.
In was the spirit that he put in the
drill and the way that he went at the
dummies himself that got him the
name. Sometimes his hands were cut
open to the bone, but always there
was the same spirit at the end as at
the start.
Lieut.. Nolte had but two months in
which to complete his college course
and receive his degree in civil en-
gineering, when the first training
camp opened. in May. 1918. but Lieut..
Nolte and sixty-two others of his
anna mater, Al1 Gil
tered the first camp at Fort Benjamin
Harrison, where all of these men,
with the exception of three, received
commissions at the expiration OF the
first camp.
For two months Lieut.. Nolte was in
command of the old 23d Company Of
the Development Battalion. this COM
pany being at that time one of the
largest in camp, with a strength of
nearly 1900 men. This company has
now been made in a battalion, which
Is now the 9Th Development Bat
talon, and consists of the 21stT 22d,
23d and Gath companies.
While in command of the old COM
pany the lieutenant had two things
to his credit: First, winning the
competition platoon drill In the old
9Th Battalion, thus being the prize
platoon Of the battalion: second, send
ing the largest number of candidates
to the first non-com. training school
in this camp and only having a few
return as not being suitable material
for non-coms.
