was only when the force Of the wind

to control the fire were rewarded
with success.
Scenes of terror were witnessed in
many sections as the course Of the
flames threatened widespread de-
struction. The streets were choked
with masses of despairing refugees
from the districts already stricken,
accompanied by carts loaded with
furniture, the confusion being add
ed to by the flocbing of of sight
seers from other sections. Many Of

Cotton Situation. ..
The cotton planters of the South to.
day are in a more desperate plight
than any other single producing
group because of the stoppage in flow
of exports, due to exchange break
down and other world troubles, Di-
rector Mclean declared.
Mr.. Mclean believes if the plant
ers of the South could be assured
that within another half year or so
the great cotton surplus, or at least
a substantial part of it, could move
out into the foreign markets where
there is an eager demand for cotton,
the South's financial troubles, grow
ing out of the price decline. in cot
ton, would be solved.
"There must be some outlet for
this great store of cotton which jams
all corners of the South" said Direc-
tor Mclean.
"There are now in the South prob
ably not less than 100000 bales of
cotton. Nearly half Of this is now
wanted abroad. Germany wants much
of it, while other nations are eager
for their share. German mills, for ex-
ample, are idle because the raw cot
ton on which they must depend is not
available for lack of credit.
German industry is all right, as to
it's future prospects of that there can
be but little dissent" continued Mr..
Mclean.
"There must be an adjustment Of
the indemnity upon such terms as Ger
many will know its liability and her
industries can then have an incentive
to get along, with a realization Of
what profit her work may return.
That's what we need now to open the
flood gates for cotton and wool and
wheat, and all the other great staples
that are glutting our domestic mar
kets."
The preliminary applications filed
with the finance corporations, referr-
ed to by Director Mclean indicated
the chief need of Germany and the
rest of Europe is cotton. Exporters
applications, which are the basis of
future loans by the government, also
indicate that the value of cotton, if
it could be supplied, would exceed in
volume any single commodity group.
