World Court Now in Session

Tho Hague, Jan. 29.-For the first
time in history a permanent World
Court will come into actual being to-
morrow when the IL judges chosen
as members of the Permanent Court

ident of the Pan-American Society.
The Court must meet at least once
year, on June l5, or in eXtraordin
airy session on call of the president.
That official, who must reside per-
manently at The Hague, will receive
salary of 10000 Dutch ilorins, OIL
approximately $4,000, while the
Vice President and judges will get
from $1,000 to 10000 forms, depend
ing on the number of days of service.
The members of the first court are
Viscount Finlay, former Lord High
| Chancellor of Great Britain; Andre
| Weiss, Jurisconsult to the French
Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Com
mendatore Dionisic AnZilotti, inter

U. S. Warships Won't
Ignore the Submarines

Washington, Jan. 27.-Althougf
under the rules adopted by the arms
conference the submarine has beer
technically robbed of some of its
principal terrors, the United States
navy Is losing no time in preparing
to deal with that weapon should an.
other emergency arise.
The American navy during the
world war had ample opportunity to
get first-hand information as to tn,
deadliness of the underseas craft
and among the officers having such
war experience there are no illusions
as to that vessels ability.
Two of the most efficient weapons
against the German submarines were
developed by Americans during the
war, and these weapons are still re-
garded as of maximum effect. They
are the depth bomb ard the mine.
American naval officers used both in
the war with considerable. effect, and
one of the outstanding feats of that
conflict was the North Sea barrage Of
mines, in which work the Americans
had a major share.
Accordingly all destroyers not al
ready equipped arc now being sup
piled with an allowance of depth
charges. No new manufacture of
this device has been undertaken since
the war, but ordnance experts are
working on improved types and are
making satisfactory progress in this
development.
The armistice found the navy with
considerable material for mine oper-
ations on hand. These mines were
manufactured primarily for use
against German submarines. Since
the war experts have overhauled ali
this matrial, effecting improvements
and otherwise putting in condition
the mines and mining equipment for
future us if necessary.
New suggestions are constantly
pouring in regarding all sorts of war
devices. and in these have been ideas
on mines which have all found their
use in the navy scheme.
Incidentally the same naval cx-
rerts are working constantly now on
details of aircraft attack and defense
from the naval viewpoint. Espc-
cial attention has been given to il
Illuminating devices. new sights and
similar material.

yield of about 1876 pounds per acre or
a total crop of slightly over 100000
bales. We do not want such a low
yield per acre agai9 in 1922, for cot-
ton cannot be economically produced
with such a yield per acre. More
over, there is not one chance in so
for such low yield again next year
Therefore, we must hold the acreage
down to at most 30,00O,0OO acres, or
run most serious risk of cotton
prices that will mean disaster next
fall
The sections where the boil weevils
were destructive last year will re-
duce the cotton acreage but that is
not going to be enough We must
organize during the winter and bring
pressure to bear on every cotton
planter to reduce rather than in
crease his acreage in 1922. No co
ercive measures will be effective.
They will always fail as they did in
1921, but by reasoning together and
by persuasion nearly every cotton
planter can be induced to hold his
cotton acreage down in 1922 for his
own and the general good. The enc
justifies the service of every good
citizen to this task. 1t is a large
and difficult task, this canvassing OF
every cotton producer, but the ne
cessity will justify the effort. THE

Steps Toward Bridging
The Detroit River

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 30.-First ac
tual steps toward bridging the De-
troit river between this city and
Canada have been taken. Engineers
have started borings at several points
between Twelfth street and Rive,
Rouge on the Ameri, an side and be-
tween Windsor and Ojibway on thg
Canadian side, to determine the 10.
cation of the structure.
The borings will find bed rock or
which to place tower piers, on which
cables will be anchored 100 feet be
low the surface Of Detroit river. Re-
suits of the borings will be known
within the next month.
The span will be 1902 feet, the
longest single span bridge in the
world. The present record for length
is held by the cantilever bridge at
Quebec, which is 1900 feet long, or
but two feet shorter than the one
to be built here.
Surveys to fix harbor lines will be
started within few days. Accurate
measurement of the distance across
the river also will be made to match
street lines and permit engineers to
fit the bridge steel. Actual construc-
tion Of the bridge will start with the
coming of favorable weather in the
spring, it is announced.
The bridge will carry vehicular and
street car traffic and also afford
walks for pedestrians.
