From Cotton Plants
To Munitions Factories

More than half Of Englands cotton
mills were during the war converted
into munitions and airplane factories
and during the period Of readjustment
that country is likely to have all it
can do to supply its home needs and
meet the demands Of it's colonies over
seas. The cotton mills of Germany,
il is safe to assume, are substantially
intact, but the Germans are without
raw material, and will not, in all prob
ability, be allowed to import any until
they arc readmitted to commercial
fellowship with the peoples from
whom they must buy--a condition
which awaits upon the slow processes
of the peace conference and surely
will not be realized before next au-
tumn. The mills of Spain, Italy, Switz-
erland and Scandinavia may soon be
able to operate to their former ca
pacity, provided they can pay for
needed raw material and that their
machinery is not so badly worn as to
require replacement. Japan, with it's
100000 cotton spindles running
double time, can help England to
supply India and China with goods
Of the 100000 cotton spindles
throughout the world 30,000,000 are
now idle or otherwise unproductive,
lack which must be in large meas
ure supplied by the spindles of Am
erica. 1t is this condition that the
Southern grower must be prepared to
meet in making the cotton crop of
1919 and the crops of subsequent
years.
Low priced cotton is no longer to be
looked for or advocated, for it spells
benefit for neither the grower nor the
spinner. Neither does it seem to us of
the North that the present is an op-
perfume time to seriously consider re-
stricting cotton acreage. We believe,
instead, that the grower will most eff
fectively serve mis- own interests If
hereafter he makes cotton his servant,
not his master. One of your ablest
and most far-seeing publicists declared
not long ago, with careful weighing Of
MS WoruS, tudt 1T WOuIu De lHHHltely
better for the South if it had never
raised bale of cotton. He no doubt
meant that, by permitting itself to be-
come one-crop section, the South had
fallen into the habit of thinking in
terms of cotton, of basing its activities
on cotton, and of raising cotton pri-
marily for the purpose of buying food
stuffs from other sections. 1t is full
time that such a system should join
the things rejected, because they have
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting.

lation of orders, or is compelled to
fight for business with competitors
quick to take advantage of the slump

grower, poorly rewarded for his time
and labor, blames the spinner because
the bottom, so to speak, has fallen out
of things.

Glorious Work of 26th.
Barre Times.


The first statement, of which the ac-
curacv is not in doubt, concerning the
casualties suffered by the Goth (New
England) division in its seven months
of strenuous experience in the front
lines in France indicates that the divi
sion lost about one+third of normal eff
fective strength during that time. 1t
does not mean, of course, that one-third
of the original personnel of the unit,
most of which came from the New Eng
land states, was put out of commission;
but that the casualties, numbering H.
!955, included replacement troops as
f well as the original members of the di-
vision. 1t is reasonable to assume,
however, that large part of the casu-
alties fell among the men of the old Goth
as it was constituted on leaving the
United States early in the war between
| the. United States and Germany. These
casualties tell the story of the bravery
and the fighting qualities of the divi
sion, without the necessity of recourse
! to statistics of miles covered in ad-
/ vance, towns taken or prisoners cap
tured; these latter features are cor
laboratory testimony to the fact estab-
lished by the knowledge of men killed
in action, wounded, taken prisoner or
missing in action. All goes tosprove that
the 26th division showed the stuff of
I which soldiers and patriots are made.
The division5swas ordered about from
one sector to another in the preliminary
movements, then sustained the shock of
battle in the German assault at Seiche-
prey and whom thus seasoned was put
in the front ranks at Chateau Thierry,
EsSt Mihicl and north of Verdun, to say
nothing of participation in minor en-
engagements. Whenever there was real
battle the Goth division was there;
where steadfastness under. fire was
