ther evidence of a gradual return to
normalcy iu international political
and trade, conditions was noted today
In the rising tendency of for.elgn ex
■ change and report to effect that peace
has been restored in Upper Silesia.
Tbese developments aro likely but
a forerunner of future events
come of Germany submitting to the
war indemnities imposed by the allies
which is looked upon as the last step
necessary for the restoration of uni
_ veraal peace and resumption of trade
activity.
Accordingly the cotton market
maintains a steady undertone in the
face of the continuance of the British
cbql miners' strike, which appears to
bs the only obstacle remaining to bln
tier the cotton market from improv-
to*.
Washington officials entertain an
optimistic opinion as to the future
and are doing everything possible to
better the condition of agricultural to
terests by planning constructive meas
ures ’for the purpose of extending the

The little village and Its sin round
ings form the subject of the follow
ing bulletin issued from 'the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Gcorgraphlc society:
"Though Yorktown was not a thriv
ing community nor a place noted for
Its accessibility during Revolutulonary
days, It was relatively much more
important and much less remote from
the dally life of the country than It
has been at any time since. Most
other American towns were small in
those days, ports were few. anil rail
roads were unthought of. As cities
have sprung up where there were only
hamlets or patches of wilderness be
fore, and as railroads have brought
even the two oceans relatively rloser
together. Yorktown. at a point where
little commerce has been developed,
and without rail connctlons. has be
come In effect more and more remote,
anil Its character as a sleepy villas
has become moro hnd more emplia

Site of Famous Surrender a Tiny
Village.
'•The Yorktown of today Is a com
inanity of leas than 250 Inhabitants
with a few line old colonial homes
and n number of less pretentious
dwellings. The nenrest railroad lies
eight miles to the south. In the town
is a monument erected In 1881 on the
ono hundredth anniversary of the sur
render of the British. As n reminder
of the early i.TO'tance of Yorktown
there still exists the (lrat customs
house to the United States. Near the
village are remains of the forts and
redoubts whose capture by the Revo
lutionary Boldiers and their French al
lies marked the real birth of the
United States. The scene of Corn-
walls’ surrender—which was by proxy
through hla General O’Hara—Is be
lieved to be to the open country Jusl
south of the village.
“Torktown to on a narrow peninsula
lying between the wide estuaries of
the James and York rivers, and *-
where the latter meets' Chesapeake
Bay. Cornwallis, after scourging
Virginia, burning homes, killing and
driving off stock, and capturing large
numbers of slaveB, retired down the
peninsula to Yorktown. Lafayette
with a handful of American soldiers
followed at a distance. It waa when
this situation wa# pplnted out to
Washington that he was persuaded to
abandon hla plan to attack New York
and instead .to take his own forces
from West Pblnt and Rochambeau's
dll vision from Providence, R. I., te
stake all on a battle In the south. The
arrival pf De Grasse with a French
fleet to the Chesapeake, blocking the
entrance to that bay and and prevent
ing reinforcements reaching Cornwal
lis. made the defeat of the latter to
evitable.
Wonderful Harbor llstd to World War
“It la not strange that Cornwallis
considered Yorktown a good location
for military headquarters In spire of
the eaae with which the peninsula
might be blocked. It possesses a truly
remarkable deep water harbor, and
Cornwallis counted on the mainten
ance of communication 1>y water with
the heavy British forces to New York
"Yorktown's harbor was put to good
use during the World War and ao for
the second time played nn important
part to the country's matrial history
In tho mouth of the York river oppo
site the famous village the greater
part of the Atlantic fleet at times rode
at anchor. There, behind the defenses
at the entrance to the Chesapeake
and further protected by nets and
patrols across the mouth of the York
dreadnaughts and leaser vessels were
safe from molestation by enemy sub
marines. Thousands of men were In
tenaively trained for naval duty at
this anchorage while the whereabouts
of the fleet was kept a profound secret
The Yorktown anchorage was alluded
to in official communications through-
out the war only as ’Ba»e 2.' ”

As yet little attention has been dl

are offset by the prospects for a tnuoh

The ludicated reduction in acreage
alone points to a yield of about 4.000,
900 bales less than last year's produc
