the imperialists. We cannot be
separated in interest or divided in
purpose. We stand together until
the end.
Foe to be Equal But Not Master.
For such arrangements and cove
nants we are willing to fight and to
continue to fight until they are
achieved; but only because we wish
the right to prevail and desire just
and stable peace such as can be Sc
cured only by removing the chief
provocations to war, which this pro-
gram does remove. We have no jeal-
ousy of German greatness and there
is nothing in this program that I'M
pairs it. We grudge her no achieve
ment or distinction of learning or OF
pacific enterprise such as have made
her record very bright and very env1-
able. We do not wish to injure her
or to block in any way her legitimate
influence or power. We do not wish
to fight her either with arms or with
hostile arrangements Of trade, Il she
is willing to associate herself with us
and the other peace loving nations OF
the world in covenants of justice and
law and fair dealing We wish her
only to accept a place of equality
among the peoples of the world-the
new world in which we now live-in'
stead Of a place of mastery.
Must Know Who Is Represented.
Neither do we presume to suggest
to her any alterations or modification
Of her institutions. But it is neces'
sary, we must frankly say and nee
essary as a preliminary to any intel
ligent dealings with her on OUT
part, that we should know whom her
Spokesman speak for when they
speak to US, whether for the reichs-
tag majority or for the military
party, and the men whose creed is
imperial domination.
Aims Clear; Ready for Test.
We have spoken now, surely, in
terms too concrete to admit OF any
further doubt or question. An evil
dent principle runs through the
whole program l have outlined. IL
is the principle of justice to all
peoples and nationalities, and their
right to live on equal terms of liberty
and safety with one another, whether
they be strong or weak. Unless this
principle be made it's foundation no
part of the structure Of international
justice can stand. The people of the
United States could act upon no
other principle, and to the vindica'
ton of this principle they are ready
to devote their lives, their honor
and everything that they possess.
The moral climax of this, the Gull
minating and final war for human
liberty has come, and they are ready
to put their strength, their own
highest purpose, their own integrity
and devotion to the test.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, February 2S.-The demand
 for cotton goods has been very broad land active and prices continue rising.
 Government orders are large and other related war requirements continue to press upon the markets. Fears of scarcity in many lines of merchandise for civilian purposes have led to many attempts to place larger orders than millers can pos
 sibly accept, as they are closely sold
 till June on many goods and are unable
 to count upon capacity output.
 Print cloths and many sheetings lines
 are 1c yard higher than a week ago.
 Beached goods are in active demand.
 All colored fabrics, especially the heav- fer grades, such as denims, tickings, cheviotsh plaids, etc, are scarce for
 nearby shipment and prices continue to move upward without relation to cotton and other costs. Cotton duck for
 civilian purposes is becoming very
 scarce owing to the great requirements
 for government purposes. Retailers are purchasing wash fabrics, white goods and many other lines from stock, and have also been operating more
 freely on ready-to-wear lines. Because of the great pressure for goods of many
 kinds, and to check the rising prices, many lines of staple goods have been withdrawn from sale in first hands.
 Prices quoted are as follows. Print cloths 2S-inch. 64x64s, lie; 64x60s, 10sc; 3slh-inch, 64x6is. 141kc; brown sheetings, southern standards, 213sc and 22c; denlms.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, February 23.-Passing of the fuel crisis, settlement of the ship strike, and general accretions in industries were reflected in the more hopeful feeling of conditions on the stock exchange this week.
 The agreement between the govern ment and heads of the railway brother hoods, involving extensive repairs and purchases of new equipment was of little help to transportation shares, some of which relinquished part of the previous weeks gains.
 Capacity of steel mills and kindred lines of manufacture was visibly in- creased by receipts of coal and other in dustriaI companies indicating their con- fidence in the future by larger dividend disbursements.
 A state of deadlock existed in the money market, time funds holding at $ per cent with virtually no offerings. Call loans were made at the same rate be- cause of the reduction of local bank re-
 serves and mercantile paper was firmer.
 Italian exchange was the only form of
 foreign remittance to undergo any alter
 ation during the week, fires dropping
 sharply. Trading in rubles was at a
 standstill, the rate however, holding rel
 atively steady.
 Some idea of monetary conditions in
 the Teutonic countries was furnished by
 tho latest statement of the Imperial
 Bank of Germany, which reported an in-
 crease of 266 OO00O0 marks in bills dis
 counted and an expansion of 2S7,OO0,00O
 marks in "other liabilities"

From the Popular Science Monthly. A clam cannot come out of its shell.
 It's home is on the low sandstone ledges,
 into which it bores by means of its
 sharp shell, to a depth of six or eight inches. The little pholas or boring claim is a great deHcacy on the Pacific coast. Its
 meat is juicy and tender and is excellent in chowder. Consequently, fishermen are not content to dsodge the clans slowly with pick and crowbar. They use dyna- miate, one blast of which dislodges hun dreds of clans.
