SCHOOLS OF COUNTRY
BECOMING AMERICANIZED

Washington, Aug. 4.--(Capital
News Service) 1.-The sentiment in be-
half of the AUGMENTATION of the
public schools of the country is grow
ing apace and legislatures are begin
ming to take cognizance Of it. Specific
legislation to the end that none but
Americans be placed on guard in the
teaching of the youth of the country
is expected to be enacted from time,
to time until no state in the union
will be without such. In line with
this spirit, the sentiment in behalf Of
the development in time of great
central university in Washington, of
the character dreamed of by Gen
eral Washington, but which has not
yet been realized, has not yet died
out. Once the ravages of war have
disappeared, according to the ben
of those VINO see anu urge the need
for an institution of this kind at the
national capital, it is believed the
project will be revived and become a
reality. -
1t was the hope of Washington that
a university which not only would set
an example to the country and the
world as an institution of learning
would spring up on the banks Of the
Potomac, but that it would also set
an example to the country in the
teaching Of virile Americanism.

so may have his policy reins' lated any
time before January /, 1872 3. II the
reinstatement is sought Within so

sary. If the insurance has lapsed a
longer period the applicant must pre-

reinatated must tender two monthly
payments on the insurance at the
time Of Reinstatement. ..
The present administration OF the
War Risk Insurance bureau has taken
this step with the approval of Secre-

NEW YORK COTTON Ry Agsaciate1 Praas
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
By Associated Press

New Orleans. November 16.-Cov- ering of the short interest and buy ing by trade interests caused a strong cotton market today, prices at one time being 57 to 5S points higher than the last quotations of yesterday. while the close was at net gains of Ss to 4s points December rose to l6. 92c and closed at 16 0sc. This strength developed after a bare ly steady opening and losses of ' to 9 points. which carried December off to 15 57c
 The early hesitation was caused by poor Liverpool market and the an. nouncement that Lancashire spinners had voted half time for spindles working on American cotton. Short covering was felt almost immediately and new buying arose on bullish talk in connection with the progress with the conference at Washington. AS the session progressed the demand for covers by shorts grew more ur- gent. The large export movement 46.653 bales out of Galveston alone, helped to harden the market around noon, and in the afternoon the high est levels of the session were reached following rumors that a large loan was being arranged for Germany. There were also persistent reports of a better local spot demand.
 Many ginning rumors W. heard during the day, the chief of which was that a private bureau had fig ures indicating production this last period of 500,0o0 bales, which would mean total to November IA of about 7.150,000 bales. While this was re- garded as bearish it led to little selling.

CIVILIZATION MOVING NORTH

vilhjalmur Stefansson in the Worlds
 Work.
 Men at every period of history have been generally of the opinion that the ultimate limit of the northward spread of civilization had then at length been reached.
 It is reasonable assumption. deduced from what we know of later history, that even the thoughtful men of Memphis and of Babylon failed to see potentialities for much beyond barbarism in the Greece and Italy of their time. We know as matter of recorded opinion that the Greeks and Romans not only considered the peo- pie to the north of them to be in ferior, but believed that that inferi- ority must continue, largely because of supposed hostile climate of the lands to the north. Tacitus probably knew as much as any of his contem- poraries about the lands beyond the Alps, and twas merely voicing the general opinion of his time and coun- trymen when he said that nobody could conceive that any one, unless forced by the stern necessity of war, would willingly leave the fertile shores of Africa or the plains of Italy for the country north of the Alps where the climate Is as disagreeable as the soils sterile.

STOCK GENERALLY
 BROAD AND ACTIVE CN WALL STREET
Call Loans Opened at Four and 0ne-HaIf Per Cent for First Time In Nearly
 a Month
By Associated Press

New York, November 16.-Con- tinued ease of money. signs of pro- nounced improvement in industrial conditions and the strength of Brit ish exchange were potent factors in today's active. broad and generally higher stock market.
 Events at Washington were fol- lowed with absorbing interest, but the speculative element, which wa. driven to cover, appeared to have reached the conclusion that eventu- ally the disarmament proposals would prove a bullish argument.
 Call loans opened at Az per cent for the first time in nearly a month and that quotation again was reduced to per cent in private negotiations, slight concessions also being made for accommodations extending into the coming year.
 Trade reviews reported a broader demand for railroad equipment and structural steel and the labor situa. ton, in it's relation to the proposed wage cut by the transportation sys- tems of the country seemed, to be less acute.
 Oils If the domestic type, especial ly the Standard Oil group. featured the trading at extreme gains of ? to over 10 points. Royal Dutch was the one striking exception, showing heaviness on reports that dividends are to be paid in stock instead of cash.
 Equipments, steels. coppers, ship pings and an unusual number of spe- cialties participated in the advance at substantial gains and rails of all descriptions added variably to their recent gains. Frequent realizing sales were without marked effect, strong tone ruling at the close.
 Sterling exchange crossed 400 for Athe first time in nearly six months. representing a gain of about 6c to the pound from the weeks low French. Italian. Belgian and Dutch bills also were irregluarly higher and German marks displayed more sta bility.
 Appreciable gains were made by Liberty issues, and the bond market lost almost as a whole, including leading internationals, was inclined to strengthen. Total sales, par value, $17,750,000.

BROKERS SEE AN
 IMPROVEMENT IN
 COTTON MARKET
General Staple Market Closed Barely Steady at a Net Ad- vance of Twenty to
 TWenty-seven Points
By Associated Press

New York, November 16.-While still more or less nervous local brokers thought they detected an im- pfovement in the cotton market here today and reported some broadening of demand on the advances. January contracts sold up from 16.22c at the opening to 16.97c or at the best price touched since the break of late last week and 53 points net higher. That delivery closed at t6.70c, with the general market closing barely steady al net advance of 20 to 27 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 10 to 25 points owingt to lower Liverpool cables but almost immedi- ately rallied on local buying and cov- ering. Optimism as to the results of the armament conference was encour- aged by reports of an improved tone in the stock market and later in the morning buying was promoted by re- ports that the pink boil worm had been found in one of the larger pro- ducing counties of Texas and rumors that private ginning returns pointed to 8 crop of under seven and half million bales.
 The advance mot enough realizing and scattered southern selling to cause some irregularity, but reports of an improved spot demand came in during the early afternoon, and tho buying broadened somewhat with De- cember selling up to 17.12c and March to 16.9Sc or AT to 53 points net higher and S8 to 97 points above the low levels of late last week. The fact that, the market has recently shown more resistance to pressure as prices approached the 16c level, may have accounted for some of the local buy ing but in the late trading the mar ket met selling by houses with south ern and foreign trade connections.
 The close showed reactions 23 to 27 points from the est. It was rumored that private ginning returns showed about 7.150.000 bales to November A which. were estimated as 97 per cent of the total crop. but the figures had not been confirmed up to the close.
