Bradford C0lOred Miners
 Vote to Work Every Day

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 I am a negro miner and have been a reader of The Age-Herald for more than seven years, and as chairman of the general committee of workmen of my race in this camp, have just few words I want to say through the columns of The Age-Herald.
 We at Bradford,s camp have been for long time wanting to get some real information concerning the War Savings Stamps. Liberty Loan Bonds and our duty to our government, and we have made several efforts to get pr. P. c. Rameau to come and speak to us in a body, and I am glad to say on behalf of the men of my race, tha. our preacher, Rev. Gilvan, succeeded in getting him to come out and speak to us Sunday, the 7th, and in his com ing he brought with him Prof. H. A. Knox and two women of the negro women's council of defense, Mrs. Bum and Mrs. Blanks.
 Reverend Gilvan acted as master of ceremonies and introduced Professor Knox, who spoke of Democracy and Its Meanings" which was enjoyed Ey the great crowd, though some were not able to get in the church but stood on the outside at the windows When Dr. Rameau was presented the au- dience sang, When the Battle Is Over We Will Wear Crown" and Dr. Ra- meau spoke briefly from these words. Reward Comes After Labor"
 Mir. Editor, I wish had the ability to tell you how we rejoice in having been able to get this great man of our race out here in our midst to tell us the story of those vital things that are so essential to the winning of this great life and death struggle. as he termed it, with the very powers of darkness This man is doing a won derful service for God his people and his country, and at the conclusion of his wonderful address he boiled a vote of the War Savings Stamps and how many men would make the sacrifice to work six days every week, sick or well, even though they are just able to creep to the manhole. and to my surprise every man in that great au- dience voted, T will" We thank God for such men as Dr. Rameau and Prof H. A. Knox. and hope that they will come back and help us. that we might help our country win this war by get ting out more coal and buying more War Savings Stamps and Liberty Loan Bonds. S.A. WAIKER

WEATHER REPORT
 STOPS COTTON RISE
General List Closed Steady at Net Decline of 9 to 27
 Points Over Tuesday

New York, July 10.-An early advance in the cotton market was checked by the publication of a more favorable weekly weather bureau report than expected and prices sold off rather sharply in the later trading. December contracts, for nuisance, broke from 25.02c to 24.4ec, and closed 24.51c, with the general list clos ing steady at net decline of g to 2f points.
 There was renewal of yesterdays covering movement at the start, ana after opening steady at an advance of to 15 points active months sold 30 to s5 points net higher before .ne end of Sie first hour.
 Part Of the buying was attributed to people who had sold yesterday morning on the bearish view of price fixing in the goods trade, while there was also a scattering demand accompanied by crop complaints from Texas and probably some buying on expectations of bullish weekly report. Unfavorable features re- gently discussed around the ring were mentioned in the weekly review, but they were not emphasized, with the report evidently creating an impression that except for west Texas the crop was mak- ing satisfactory progress. At any rate, prices weakened and the market was .leavy during the afternoon. July sold If from 2S.2Sc to 27S0c, or Il points net lower, while December declined from -4.57c to A.03c, with new crop months generally showing net losses of q to 2s points. The relatively firm ruling Of July and the increased premiums over October was supposed to reflect the pres ance of a remaining short interest which some brokers thought might be of con- siderable proportions. No improvement
 vas reported in southwestern weather
 coalitions. the detailed reports showing showers at only four points in Texas, with 25 stations reporting maximum tenn peratures of 100 degrees or over. The cotton exchange will be closed from Il to 11:45 m. tomorrow as mark of re- spect to the late ex-Mayor Mitchell.

BEARS WERE ROUTED
 BY WEATHER REPORT
Oats and Provisions Both Suffered Setbacks From
 Tuesdays Close

Chicago, July 10.-Subnormal temper atures throughout the corn belt more than offset in the corn market today the bearish influence of the govern ment crop report. Largely as a result, the finish. although unsettled, was Ac to %c net higher, with August sl.obt4 to $1.55%. and September $1.56A. Oats lost Bc to %c. Provisions closed un- changed to 10 cents down
 At first the corn trade took chief notice of the fact that the crop con- dition would have to be lowered fully 9 points between now and harvest if the yield were to be smaller than the gov ernment's present estimate. This as- pect of the crop status brought about only transient weakness, however as persistent buying set in under the lead ership of one of the largest houses. Of- ferings quickly dried up, and during the rest of the day the bulls had the advantage, with attention mainly cen- tered on the general need of hot wealth CT to ensure the promised bumper crop.
 Oats gave way in sympathy with a break in prices at Winnipeg, where longs were said to be unloading. The government crop report had put lit- tie effect on oats.
 Realizing by stock interests weak ened provisions. Advances in the value Of hogs caused only a transient bulge.

Called Ambassadors Bluff

From Worlds Work.
 In the early days of the war. tha Gar man ambassador to Turkey. Raron Wangenheim, gained control of the Turk ish press. and began using 1t to stir un hatred of America among the Turks Henry Morgenthau, the American ambas- sador protested. Wangenheim' renlv was: What are you going to do about it"' MT. Morgenthau, who tells tha story in his memoirs which are now be- ing published in the Worlds Work. says.
 Wangenheim's Tweed-lke attitude net tied me, and I replied:
 "I'll tell you what am going to do about it, and you know that I will be able to carry out my threats. Either you stop stirring up anti-American feel- ing in Turkey or I shall start a cam paign of anti-German sentiment here.
 You know, baron," I added, that you Germans are skating on very thin ice in this country. You stop this at once. or in three weeks I will fill the whole of Turkey with animosity toward the Germans. It will be a battle between us and I am ready for it.''
 Wangenheim's attitude changed at once He turned around, put his arm on my shoulder and assumed his most conciliatory manner
 Come. let us be friends he said. 1T promise you that they will be stopped 2
 From that day the Turlish pre- sr. made the slightest unfriendly allusion to the United States.
