Unparalleled Situa tion. i ■ t’harles Maeara, presi dent of tho international f’otton Fed eration, In a statement on the prob able effect o flits overplus of cotton, consequent upon stoppage of the cot ton mills <m the European continent, save that for years he has been ad reserves and now Is the time to put vocatlng the establishment of eotton ltls suggestion Into nimratton. Unless something of this kind is done he fesrs the outlook for every one en gaged In the growl n gdanmhtnihttnlh gaged In the growing and manufactur ing of cotton Is very serious Indeed.

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 serve ahould be created In times of plenty, for unlike most other agricul tural products cotton suffers no de terioration if properly packed and store,! This problem Is one of such 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 ernment action. It la Impossible to lose sight of the tact, he son, that owing to the great destruction of food atuffa. it may be aecessarv lo extend their production enortnoualy.

The Cressy at this point discovered the presence of two German subma rines on the way to attack her and be gan shelling them with heavy projec tiles, The Cressy’s marksmanship was excellent and both submarines were demolished, survivors said. Meanwhll from ihe other side, the Cressy herself w.is torpedoed In two places and sank immediately. When tile attack occurred the cruis ers were steaming In a line ahea 1, three (piles apart. Not Discouraged. The sailors, far from being discour aged at the mishap, express tho con viction that Admiral Jellcoe now will teach the Hermans a leason and that. Ihe ships of Ihe line when they come into action will amply avenge the de struction of the cruisers. Special prslse Is given Captain Voor harn of the Flora by survivors. With only lit men in his crew he carried out lid work of rescue with (he greatest skill. Owing to the roughness of toe sea the task of taking on board men stiff with cold was extremely difficult and many of them had to be handed up by means of ropes. it Is understood the British sailors will leave tomorrow for a place whe-e they must remain for the duration of the war.

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.
