Britain Day.


Britain Day will be celebrated all
over the United States. The gov
errors Of the various states have
set aside the day as a time for
honoring one of the great Allies,
without whose powerful aid the
war would have ended soon after
it began in 1914, with Germany
victorious.
1t has been the policy of the
huns all along to stir up enmity be-
tween England and the United
States. Soon after the war began,
German agents were spreading
their silly lies in this country, to
the effect that England caused the
war and that she wanted to rule
the world. They took every OPP
portunity to remind us of our an
cient grudge against the mother
country. They hoped to separate
forever the two great English
speaking races. As the war went
on the propagandists changed their
tune little and went about spread
ing the outrageous falsehood that
England was not doing her share
but was standing back at the ex-
pense of France. Unfortunately,
but inevitably, some Americans
believed the tale. Perhaps a few
still believe it. You may know
the man (thank heaven, he's al
most eXtinct) who asks the ques-
ton; What has England done in
this WARP" If he ever asks you
that, here is the answer:
|. Great Britain has given 8
million men to the Allied Armies,
since the war began, England
alone, not counting Ireland, Scot
land, Wales, the Colonies, Canada
or India, furnished over 90 per
cent. Of them. Sixty per cent. of
all Great Britain S armies are from
England herself. That means one
man for every seven and one-half
persons in her population. if the
United States had done so well,
she would have enrolled IS million
en-.
?. More than l million English
men laid down their lives during
the war.
5. In August, 1914, over 1OO,-
900 subjects of Great Britain vol
unfairly enlisted in two weeks. In
September they enlisted at the
rate of $4,000 day.
4. Before August, 1916, Great
Britain had given half a million
men, who were volunteers.
5. Since the war began, the
British Navy has been instrument
tai in transporting to the various
fronts IS million men.
6. The British Navy bottled up
the German grand fleet and kept
German boats away from America.
She actually fought our fight for
two and half years.
7. A British commander sank
his own ship and bottled up the
the submarine base at Zeebrugge,
so that the U-boats could neither
get in nor get out. The defeat of
the submarines is largely due to
England.
s. The British Army rescued
Palestine from the Turk. It gave
back to Christian dominion Jeru-
salem, Damascus and Bethlehem,
after they had been dominated by
Turkey for centuries.
9. The British Army captured
Baghdad and Constantinople. 1t
drove the Turk out of Europe.
10. England kept Germany from
winning the war. If she had not
gone to the rescue of Belgium on
land, if she had not sent her great
navy to defend the ocean. the hun
would have mastered Europe and
turned. upon the United States.

NEW YORK COTTON,
" "imIIIlIItlInullIGlIl1lIlIIl.1III,Ilill!i,,

New York, Dec 23-The feature in the cotton market today was the in creasing activity of business, particul- arly i'll the late months. Notwithstand- ing the proximity of the holidays and the extent of recent advances carly realizing sales were readily absorbed by a broadening demand and there were sharp advances. The general list closed steady at net advance of 54 to 101 points,
 The opening was somewhat irregu- lar under realizing but the tone was firm. There was probably some sell Ing for reaction, as well as profit taking, but there was a good general demand.
 There were reactions during the af- ternoon under realizing for over the holidays, but the offerings were grad ually taken off the market owing to a continued demand from trade in terests or commission houses and covering by early sellers. This gave the market a steady undertone and the close was several points up from the lowest. December shorts bid the price up sharply without getting much cotton and that delivery closed at the highest point of the day. Trading in December will end at noon tomorrow
 Private cables from Liverpool said that after the February allotment. but control of ocean freight and rates would be ended and that there was some selling of late montrs there in expectation of increased imports or lower freight rates.
 Spot cotton steady; middling 32.10.
