it can be stated that the attorney

embarrassment to the president. He
will. therefore, endeavor to ascertain
from the senators whether they
would confirm Sease if he is appoint

the attorney general will then recon-

WAR COSTS AMERICA
s3o,177, 200, 900

Washington, July 9.-The war cost
the United States $sO,177,OO0,0O0 up
TO June 80, 1918. ,>,
Secretary Glass made this estimate
today in submitting to the congress
:'sional appropriations committee the
statements of the treasury on the
condition of the nations finances. He
arrived at the estimate by subtract
ing the average peace time expenses
for the same length of time, at the
rate Of 81 1,OOo,o00,000 annually from
the total expenditures, $32,427, ,000,-
: 600 during the war.
Taxes and other revenues other
than borrowed money took care of
39,3S4,000,000 or about 20 per cent
eof the war cost. The remainder came
from liberty bonds and victory note
issues and savings stamps.
Additional issues of bonds, Mr..
Glass said, will rot be necessary "be-
fore the maturity or redemption of
the victory notes." which have four
years 20 run. While it is impossible
:. teQstinaate the expenses for the pres
ent fiscal year, the secretary is con-
fdent that treasury certificates sup
plemented by short term notes can
pay the governments debts.
.sss,..I need scarcely say" the secre-
tary added, ''that the realization OF
these sanguine expectations is con-
sangent upon the practice OF the most
rpsd economy by the government
and the continuance of ample reven'
,xazs from taxation. Such course
accompanied by the practice OF sober
.=conaray and wise investment by oul
people and strict avoidance OF waste
and speculation, will make it possible
for the American people to respon'
to the demands to be made upol
them privately for capital and credl
by the nations Of Europe-demano
which are reinforced by the strong
est and most vital ties of sympath
for the Allies who fought and wo
the war, with us-as well as by Tn
most obvious dictates Of self inter
&ast.''

! Washington, July 11.-Wi:h the
lifting Of the blockade against Ger
many tomorrow trading between that
country and the United States, as
well as the other associated powers,
viii begin, Acting Secretary Polk
arGouncea to-day that blanket licen-
ses would be issued for transaction Of
American firms and that details
would be given within IS hours after
decision by legal experts as 10 wheth-
er formal proclamation by the pres
ident would be necessary.
Trading in all commodities, except
dyestuffs, chemicals and potash, con-
troll over which will be exercised by
the reparations commission set up by
the peace treaty, will be unrestricted,
It was said. American firms doing
business with Germany must send
their agents into that country with
out passports as these can rot be
issued until the proclamation OF
peace. It was also said at the State
department that there was no GER
tainty when American consuls would
he sent to Germany.
Payment for the goods which this
country sends to Germany nrus5 be
made under system of credits to be
arranged later through private cani-
tai, officials said. Details as to this
system have not been worked out.
While Germany hlsa aergq txxwbbS
While Germany has large quantities
of goods ready to be exported, offac-
ials doubted that there would be any
great demand for them in this coun-
try and consequently the trade bal
ance in favor of the United States is
expected to be large.
Germany was said to be in imme-
diate and pressing need of raw ma
terials of almost all kinds, particular
ly cotton and copper. Clothing OF
all kinds also is needed.
! Three ships for Germany already
have been loaded in American ports
one with cotton and two with gen
eral merchandise; it is said today at
the shipping board, and they will
start overseas as soon as licenses for
their cargoes have been issued.
/ It also was announced that direct
steamship lines to Hamburg and Bre-
men would be established by the
board. These lines will operate out
of New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and South Atlantic and
Gulf ports just as soon as the neces-
sary cargoes are at the docks.
In announcing resumption Of trade
relations, Acting Secretary Polk
pointed out that the trading with the
enemy act was not abrogated and
that the action of the government
was not to be construed as meaning
that the state of war had ceased to
exist. The war will be at an end on
ly with the ratification of the peace
treaty, it was said, and the trading
with the enemy act will remain In
force until it is repealed by presi-
Dental proclamation after the war
ends.

KEEP THE SOUTH FROM

The following telegram address

Convention at Halifax, is so time

the points that The Commonwealth
til has always made, that we have
pleasure i'll printing it in full, and
trust that every cotton planter
will inWardly digest its contents
that he may see the road that Will
lead him to prosperity.
Craftsmanship is now econo-

TO refuse to prevent an eN,}
is only less an offense than to com

''Cotton is the basis Of southern
prosperity. The south has a mon

present price Of cotton is due to
under consumption caused By
world reimbursement. It will be
months before the European de
mend can restore even in part the
equilibrium between supply and
demand. Lost consumption can
never be restored fully by future
