COTTON is PRACTICALLY
RELIEVED FROM EMBARGO

Washington.-Rec increases in
cotton prices were attributed to the
raising of restrictions upon cotton ex-
ports to German-Austria and Jugo-
Elavia by Senator Smith, of Georgia,
in a statement.
"While cotton is still on the en-
barge list" Senator Smith said, 1.-The
wa. trade board uader powers vested
in it by the President, has practically
relieved cotton from being on the
embargo list. The principal cotton
mills Of Austria were in German-Aus-

territory is now open to cotton ship
ments without restrictions. The quan'
tity restrictions of shipments to Swse'

IRISH FARMERS MAKE GOOD
Respond Loyalty to the War De
mand for Big Food Pro
duetion.

Dublin.--The Irish department of
agricultural cfop aud cattle returns
for 1a1S shows that the Irish farmers
responded Loyalty To the call made on
them to produce more food for the
fighting men.
The area pun under corn crops Of
all kinds was l.94i925 acres, being
6S9.074 acres more than in 1916 The
acreage under FAX Yves 141 ,53S. or 5O.-
0s4 more than in 1916. In 1915 IRE
land had 59s,97S horses of all kinds,
which In 1918 had risen To 6IS,s0T.
The number of horses used for amuse-
ment and recreation had in that
period fallen by 9.5T9. which shows
that the increase was mainly for az
ricultural and Industrial purposes.
The total number of cattle fell from
4,9T0.441 In 1916 to 4.s63. .2s2 in 1918,
largely due to the numbers exported
to Great Britain, particularly mich
cows. Poultry also showed reduc-
tion of over 100000 in 1918 as COM
pared with 1915.
The figures show that while animal
production fell of considerably the
farmers concentrated, as requested by
the authorities. on the production of
grain crops and potatoes.

Distinguished Service Cross.

Among the men to whom the distin-
guished service cross was. recently awarded
by the commander iu- chief, in the name of
the President, is Private Allen P. Wescott,
Of North Castine, troop q, End cavalry. The
incident for which he received this great
honor is cited in the orders as follows:
For extraordinary heroism in action
near Chevieres, France, Oct. 21, 1918. Be-
coming separated from his own organiza-
tion, Pvt Wescott attached himself to an
anfsntry company. While on patrol he
was wounded three times. After the
party had been surrounded by German
machine guns, he volunteered to carry a
message to the company commander,
wading across the Avre river in so doing.
After guiding platoon to the relief of
the patrol, he again made several trips to
and from the company post OF command,
crossing the river, though waist deep. five
times after being wounde d. He was sent
to the rear against his vigorous protests,
and after being tagged for evacuation, he
gave further proof of his devotion to duty
and unselfishness by helping carry
another wounded soldier three miles on a
stretcher.

YANKEE GUNS PROVE BEST
Long-Range Cannon Used North OF

Others.

London.-The Iong-range guns with
which American forces north of YER
dun bombarded the important Longuy-
on-Mezieres railway were manned ex-
clusively by United States naval crews
and under direction Of a United States
rear admiral. The guns, which fired
the biggest low-trajectory shell ever
hurled across the western front, were
most accurate and aroused the intense
admiration of the French officers. 1t
was not necessary to provide cement
gun emplacements such as the German
were compelled to erect for their pow
erful high trajectory guns. In other
words, the Americans brought a new
powerful weapon into play, which re

against great obstacles by a few deter-
mined men working together to achieve
worthy purpose. These highways,
brought to high degree OF perfection IN
few years by relatively small body oi
good road enthusiasts, give an idea OF
what the whole nation, working together
under the stimulus OF great purpose,
might accomplish. The noble sentiment
OF country's gratitude stands ready 10
transmute the impulse OF the people INTO
the settled purpose OF the nation to devote
ell its strength and energy to praettcel
extension Of national highways. What
more is needed save to bring the posi-
bilities Of the plan to the attention OF the
nRtion?
OfalI the great warriors the worlds has
nroduced. the names OF Cesar and
Napoleon stand out as supreme. VI
their military triunphs nothing remains
TODAY as contribution to the progress
ofthe world 10 be compared to the system
of permanent highways which they
created With prophetic foresight the
best rinds of the ages visioned the trans
cendent value to state and nation OF Tree
and permanent communication.
II has seemed to me that the schools
of America. by reason OF their nation-
wide distribution. their growing appre-
ciation of the value OF good roads as
national asset, and especially because OF
the ability OF the young to stimulate
patriotic zeal in any worthy cause, are
peculiarly qualified to present this idea
with some OF It's larger possibilities 10
the attention of the country.
May not, then, venture to ask the
school boys and girls OF Anerica, under
the direction OF their teachers, TO consider
this brief outline of plan to establish
in every city, village and hamlet OF the
nation something to remind coming |
generations for all time of the sacrifices |
ot those who gave their lives iu the |
cause of liberty, something to conserve,
is it were, out OF the havoc OF war, the
priceless lessons OF peace?

The Balance OF Power.

We will probably hear more and
more within the next few weeks, in
connection with the peace conference,
of the "balanee of power.n This, in
brief, is an alliance Of nations that
agree, if one is attacked, all will
fight. This is the system that Premier
Clemenceau of France adheres to,
and which he says viii be his guiding
thought at the peace conference. "Ii
England, the United States, France
and Italy had made such an alliance
before the war, the war would not
have occurred" he says.
Opposed to this view is the League
OF Nations" of which President Will
son talks. In speech at Manchester,
England, few days ago he said: "If
the future had nothing for us but a
new attempt TO keep the world at the
right pose by balance of power, the
United States would take no interest
in it, because she will join no COM
bination of power which is not a COM
bination of us all.n Here seems to
be direct issue between the Premier
of France and the President of the
United States, two of the leaders in
the peace conference. We will hear
more of it.
