son served with the British armies
then for a month with the French.
"He went into service with the
first American troops which saw ac-
tual fighting in France and served
for 213 days in the trenches without
a break, an exceeding long term. The
division of which he was a member
figured in many of the most fiercely
fought battles of the war, and sever
al times prevented the German arm
les from gaining vantage points. His
division also figured prominently in
the great drive Of July IA, and was
mentioned in the French dispatches
for gallant action.
"Lieut. Johnson left France about
the middle o fthis month and arrived
in America a few days ago. On his
uniform he wears a French decora-
ton and is the possessor of a pistol
captured by him from a German of
icer. He also has many other OBJ
jects of interest from the battlefield
He will be in this city again for a
short while before going to Camp
Dix"

WAR MAKES HEAVY DEMANDS
ON CONSULAR SERVICE.

PARIS.-So great have been the
a demands upon the diplomatic
and consular services of the United
States in France since America en-
tered the conflict that the consul
ates all over France have doubled
their forces. In addition there have
been established in Paris, either in
the embassy or in close liaison with
it, branches of the War Trade Board,
the Hoover Food Bureau and the
Committee on Public Information.
The working force at the embassy
before the wal began was about 10,
exclusive of secretaries and attaches.
Today it is 80. About 20 clerks have
had to be brought we from Wash
ington to take care OF the growing
influx of work.
At the embassy in pre-war times
there were two attaches-naval and
military. Today the naval attache
has four aides and a clerical force of
Is persons, while the military at
tache is surrounded by five aides and
from Is to 18 clerical employees. In
addition a new attaches post has
been created, that of scientific at
tache, a post filed by DR.. Frederick
Durand. He represents the Board
of Inventions in France, and inves-
tigates all inventions in France that
may be used in prosecuting the war
successfully.

JUST CLAIMS or NOTHING

Since the government has taken
control of the railroads of the coun-
try there will be fewer cases In the
courts over the killing of a COW or
an injury to al employee. In fact
yuo had just as well bak at
the moon as to trump up a case
against the railways while Uncle
Sam is in charge. The United States
Railroad Administration has issued
an order stating in substance that
no claim against a railroad will be
considered except upon merit, and
it will be as hard to force a railway
company as it is to force Uncle Sam.
The Director General states that ev-
cry case will be settled on its merits.
There will be no need of employing
a lawyer to look after your claim.
If the claim is just it will be settled;
if not it will not be. You may en-
ploy a lawyer, sue the railway and
get judgment, but before you can
get any money the Director General
will have to be satisfied the claim is
just and reasonable.
The following general order was
issued recently:
"The Federal Control Act contem-
plates that suits for personal injuries
may be brought as heretofore, but
provides that executions may not be
levied on the property of the carrier
while in the possession of the Gov
eminent. This means that while a
judgment may be recovered, it de-
wolves upon the Director General to
provide the payment and this places
upon him the responsibility of con-
| sidering the merits of the claims and
the persons to whom payment is
made. 1t is the desire of the Direc-
tor General that justice shall be done
to all employees who are injured in
the discharge of their duties. Thi:
does not mean that the verdicts bas-
ed upon prejudices or passion shall
be paid or that large sums shall be
paid by the Government to attorneys
and solicitors who have no claim up
on the Government. The right i:
reserved to consider the merits il
determining what provision shall be
made.
cit will be the policy of the Gov
eminent to discourage litigation
an dto deal directly with injure,
persons to the end that the injure,
person may receive the benefit of an,
amount which the Government pays
without the expense of litigation
and without being compelled to turl
over one-third or. one-haf to an at
torney. You may, therefore, let
be known that such claims will b
considered on their merits.

REVIEW OF COTTON PRICES

Neither contracts nor spot prices
changed a great deal during the
month Of July, closing prices being
almost Identical with those Of June
Z9th. The close of the month found
The market very much in a rMt as
there is no demand for cotton nor
Is there any pressing for sale. There
nave been very few sales during the
month except a limited amount of
business for early fab shipment. IT
would seem that mills have stayed
out of the market about as long as
IS possible and a keen demand is
likely to arise at any time. Further
prices will undoubtedly continue to
De governed by whether farmers and
otners attempt to sell cotton faster
IMAM there is a demand for it. Indi-
cations are now that there is
more cotton being made than
Is needed for early consump-
uon, but that, ultimately, there will
De exterme need for every bale that
Is grown. Lack of demand appears
70 be due almost entirely to trans
portatlon ~hipdrances. European
stocks are very low and should ship
ping conditions improve, there will
pe a heavy demand from that source.
a TACT to be borne in mind by pro-
uucers is that until peace is declared,

prospect of our being able to make
another large crop, on account OF
insufficient labor. Therefore, it
would seem that any surplus from
growing crops, should there be any
surplus, will be badly needed to am
plify the crop that we expect to
make next season. The wise farmer
will devote his entire energies to
gathering his crop this fall, rather
than worrying about being able to
sell it at a remunerative price.

ity to realize promptly upon their

The department of agriculture
and the food administration will
continue to cooperate as hereto
fore to assist the farmers in every
way possible. All questions of
production, of the marketing of
farm products, of conservation in
the course of production, and agri-
cultural labor and farm problems
generally, will be handled by the
department Of agriculture; while all
questions of distribution of food
supplies to the allies and of con-
servation in consumption will be
handled by the food administration;
but the chief reliance is upon the
farmer himself, and / am sure that
that reliance will be justified by
the results. The chief thing to be
kept clearly in mind is that regu-
lations Of this sort are only a part
of the great general plan of mobili-
Zation into which every element in
the nation enters in this war as in

Clarence Ousley, assistant secretary 81
agriculture. warns that if the south
neglects this year to provide her own

den upon the nation which may pro-
long the war and even imperl victory
in the war.
1T am not expressing an alarmist
personal opinion" the statement said.
"I am seeing through the eyes of forty
eight agricultural colleges and of county
agents in nearly every agricultural
county. I have recently crossed tie con-
tinent from the Atlantic to the Pacific
/ have studied the reports gathered by
the departments $4,000 representatives,
