REDUCTION COTTON
PRODUCTION SURE
SAYS PREDICTION

New Orleans, May 17.-Pointing out
that the south will never again raise
as large a cotton crop as in the past,
because of what were termed sue
cessful efforts towards acreage reduc-
tion," the crop report committee of the
newly formed American Cotton Assoc
citation made public it's findings at a
meeting today Of the members. The
lack of potash, the detrimental effect
of certain domestic fertilizers, bad
weather conditions and prospect of a
heavy toll to be taken by the boil
weevil are the chief points commented
on by the report, the reduction per-
centage for the entire southern belt
being placed at twenty and two
tenths.

The Home Defense League.

A decision has been reached and
announced that hereafter members of
the Home Defense League will not be
called upon to do actual police duty
in any emergency, but will be held as
a reserve force for supplementary
service. This is wise conclusion. To
assign the Home Defense League men
to actual police duty, without uniforms
and without arms, is to put them into
IN unnecessary danger and to invite
tragedies such as that which occurred
Tuesday night.
The Home Defense League was or
ganized as a war measure of commu-
nifty protection. 1t has served most
valuable purpose, enlisting several
hundred men in this community in
useful duty supplementing the regular
police force. On numerous occasions
the Home Defense League has render
ed material aid. During the recent
riots these men were particularly help
full in supplying transportation to the
police force. On Monday night in
this regard the league members con-
tributed very greatly to the police
work.

both producing and distributing, and
were, for long, familiar figures in all
trade circles.
But the Germans, even under the
most favorable circumstances, cannot
hope to "arrive" as soon as we do. We
have the advantage in many things
now, particularly in merchant ships,
and intend to press our advantage for
all it may be worth.
The English, therefore, with true
trade prcscience, have picked us for
the competitors they are first to meet;
and as they are concerned about our
plans and movements, it should spur
us to our best endeavors.
This trade race, speaking in the YER
nacular, is going to be "a boss race"

The Great Trade Race,

Newspaper cables and letters from
London testify to great interest felt
by Englishmen in Uncle Sam as a
trader. What are his qualities in that
rolef How well prepared is he to
duplicate in other markets the success
he has achieved in his own market 2
What has the war taught him about
trade, and how to go after it in the
new conditions the war has produced
in the world?
The English, of course, know of our
trade ambitions, and that they embrace
an invasion of foreign markets on a
scale not hitherto attempted. The
English likewise know a good deal
about our producing capacity. As Gus
toners for many of our products, they
were in and out of our establishments
much during the whole period of
the war. They saw us at work, and
acquainted themselves with many of
