Mors snd Mors.
For years the cotton industry of the
world has been requiring more and
more cotton, Sir Charles (M»lnts out.
and the mills for the manufacture of
cotton have been Increased In excess
of both the raw material and labor
available. Much propaganda work has
beeui carried on since the Industrial
Ootton Federation was founded ten
years ago to Improve the yield of the
existing fields and to open up npw

Unpersllelled Position.
(hr Charles says he has always
viewed with misgiving the possibility
of circumstance* arising in connection
with exceptionally large yields of cot
ton or with euch an unparallelled posi
tion as has arisen now. The cotton
plant Is subject to many vicissitudes,
lie continue*, and from that stand
point he ar*ue« that la possible a re

magnitude and of such Importance
to so many millions of people that It
ought to lie met in a broad and states
manlike manner, he says. He sees no
WHY of dealing with It except by gov

BELOW DECKS,
IRE CADENT
ON ABOUKIR
Loss of Life Was Heaviest on
First English Vessel Struck.
Survivors Not Allowed to
Talk
Harwich.—According to the surviv
ors from the three sftnken English
cruisers brought here today, the loss
of life was heaviest on tho Abouklr.
This vessel was not expecting attack
and many members of her crew were
below. The other two vessels, while
preparing to aid their doomed sister
had brought every available man on
deck.
Those survivors who are allowed to
get up from their cots and walked
ghaut the corridors of the big hotel
being used ns a hospital, make hum
orous comments on each other’s scan
ty and grotesquely improvised attire.
No mention Is made of missing com
rades and the men discuss their ex
periences only in snatches.
' Strict Orders.
Much of this reticence Is due to the
strict orders of the admiralty that
the officers and men of the three lost
cruisers are not to talk for publica
tion until a formal report has been
made by the admiralty.
None of the vessels seems to have
suffered much above the water line.
The aavere casualties undoubtedly
‘were below decks and the vlctlme
there never got out pf the traps In
which they were caught by the sud
denness of the submarine attack.

London, 1:40 p. mo— The fall of
Jaroslau, in Galicia, is regarded here
as a decisive stroke likely to have a
far reaching effect on events in the
eastern arena of war. The'Russian
army, which took Jaroslau Is in hot
pursuit of the Austrians, who are re
ported to be retreating on Cracow.
As Przemysal is isolated, It seems
probable the Muscovites will be con
tent to mask this fortress while they
pust on to Cracow with the view of
joining up their forces for a march
toward Breslau.

have resumed the offensive against
