WEEK IN COTTON
New York. —There his been a distinct
Improvement In sentiment here during
the week with reference to prospets for
an early resumption of business on ths
cotton exchange A tentative plan for
financing such old contracts as remain
outstanding through a corporation and a
syndicate tuts met with general ap
proval and promises of support from the
membership, If no unforeseen obstacles
develop, arc considered an assurance of
its successful operation.
Meanwhile, the board of managers has
approved the by-laws and rules drawn
up by the special committee providing
for a new contract meeting the require
ments trf the I’nlted States cotton fu
tures law, and also a proposal to in
crease commission.
Plans for the organization of a. clear
ing house for cotton contracts have not
yet been completed but will probably be
submitted to the board of managers
next week, and it is expected that
when the exchange Is re-opened, trad
ing under old methods will be confined
to liquidation, and that all fresh busi
ness will be governed by the new regu
lations.
Members of the exchange will vote
upon the new by-laws on October 19th,
and If the plans for taking over old
contracts prove practicable many traders
believe tlie market may re-open by the
first of the month.
Southern spot markets have been
Weak and unsettled during the week
with prices selling off to 8 3-4 for mid
dling cotton at Houston and to 7 cents
at Savannah These prices are general
ly considered below the cost of produc
tion and local spot dealers report that
demand from both domestic mills and
exporters has shown some improvement
on a scale down. So far this season
only 1.096, *4s hales have been brought
Into sight comparing with 2.816,744 last
year, while the advance at picking has
evidently resulted In more selling press
ure the statistics show that farmers

I “In response to an appeal by the
Belgian government a marine brigade
and two naval brigades, together with
some heavy naval guns manned bv
| a detachment of the Royal Navy, the
j whole under command of General
' I'arls, R. M. A., were sent by his ma-
I Jesty'a government io participate In
the defense of Antwerp during the
i last week of the attack.
'Up until the night of Monday last,
October sth, the Belgian army and
jthe marine brigade maintained the in
ner line of defenses during Wednes
day and Thursday while the city en
dured a ruthless bombardment.
“The behavior of the Royal Marines
and naval brigades In the trenches
and In the field was praiseworthy in
a high degree and remarkable in units
so newly formed, and owing to the
protection of the entrenchments, the
losses, In spite of the severity of the
i fire are probably less than 300 out of
a total force of 8,000 men. The de

EDUCATION IS
THEMEAT MEET
OF CHRISTIANS
Convention Address By Dr.
Claxton, U. S. Commissioner
of Education---Present Sys
tem of School Text Books
Scored
Atlanta, Ga.—Education was the
keynote of the session here tonight of
the general convention of the Dis
ciples of Christ. The Sunday school
and religious education were discuss
ed by the Rev. Henry F. Cope, of Chi
cago, general secretary of the Re
ligious Education Association, and the
work of the small colleges was the
topic of Dr. 2’. P. Claxton, of Wash
ington, D. C„ United States commis
sioner of education.
Dr. Claxton said the smaller col
leges of the country, being unable to
compete with the larger and richer
colleges and universities should con
fine their work to a two years’ course,
specializing In the classics or sciences
nr the trades, and should employ the
very best instructors obtainable.
Statistics show. Dr. Claxton assert
ed. 66 per cent of the students leave
college during the first and second
years, thus demonstrating there Is a
wide field for the two years’ course.
The Rev. Mr Cope, referring to the
European war tn his address said:
"When the world's leading nations
deliberately turn their backs on Jus
tice. mercy and humanity, step bodily
Into barbarism and undo the work of
a thousand years of civilization, while
asking God's blossflng on their crime
and calling on the name of the Prince
of Peace it is not strange that mans'
should ask whether Christianity is a
failure.
“Religious education means more
than teaching facts about religion.
Europe has the facts about religion
tn mind, but by her life, la making
them a lie.”
Dr. Cope asserted that the present
system of school textbooks Is a relic
of mediaeval times.
The general convention today
adopted the recommendation of the
executive committee that the Joint
Missionary Appointment be continued
and that the general budget for the
church's missionary educational and
benevolent work be fixed at J 600.000.
The American Christian Missionary
Society today elected the following

At Invitation of Secretary
McAdoo Will Discuss Situa
tion in the Cotton Markets of
the World
Washington, D. C.—Conditions In the
exchange dealings between the United
States and England and the situation In
the cotton markets of the world will be
diacuefed at a conference here next
, W6 “ k between Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and Sir George Patsh and
Basil Blackett, representing the British
rnancellor of the exchequer and the
i British treasury.
The Englishmen are coming to this
country at the invitation of Mr. Mc-
Adoo and are expected to reach New
York next week on the Baltic. The
conference pro’ ably will include mem
bers of the federal reserve boat'd and
officials her© hope that it will lead to
co-operation between financial authori
. ties of the two nations which will dear
up conditions in the foreign exchange
market.
So far no Invitation has been extend
led to Germany to participate in this
I conference. It was explained tonight
■ that any balance between this country
• and Germany Is so slight at present that
; there is no need for such a conference)
If this need arises in the futile how,
. ever, it is expected that a similar in
vitatlon will be extended to the Ger
man government.
It was said tonight that there Is no
present intention of officials her# to
create some sort of international bu
reau to handle credits, although this
may be a result of the meeting. The
recently formed syndicate of New York
bankers has done much, in the opinion
of officials to clear up foreign ex
change conditions. The total so far
guaranteed by American bankers is not
: sufficient to meet all the obligations in
curred or In the making, however.
| SiT George and Mr. Blackett are ex
pected also to discuss the cotton situa
tion at some length. England is al
most as deeply interested in cotton as
is the United States, and her treasury
! officials may be able to suggest feasi
| ble ways to aid in taking care of the
surplus American crop.

ISUPTDTHE
CONGRESS
Atlanta, Ga. —Congress and not the
states should find some remedy for
the situation in the cotton industry,
resulting from the European war cur
tailing European markets, Gov. John
M. Slaton of Georgia, declared to
night. He issued a statement answer
ing numerous requests that he call an
extra session of the Georgia genera,
assembly with regard to the curtail
ment of the cotton crop next year.
The governor asserted he has been
advised that plans for curtailing the
crop by prohibitive taxation or penal
statute were unconstitutional. He
also pointed to the fa (ft that the farm
ers, when they presented their cause
to the banking and currency commit
tee objected to forcible curtailment,
asserting they were not prepared for
revolutionary management of their
farms and that in many instances
such laws would work a hardship.
“It is a curious thing,” Governor
Slaton said, “that those who exalt the
farmer as the embodiment of charac
ter, patriotism and intelligence should
declare that the curtailment of the
crop is essential to his welfare but
from lack of intelligence he will not
do so and we must place a jail penalty
over him to prevent him from raising
cotton on his own land. Eeither this
must be done or a prohibitive tax
must be placed upon him to insure
action on his part that will rebound
to his own benefit.”
Referring to the federal govern
ment Governor Slaton said:
“I believe the great legislative
source of relief is congress. If the
government does not now assist the
Soirvh. when the president, a large
proportion of the cabinet and of the
chairmen of the powerful committees
of the house and senate are from the
South, we may expect little benefit
from exaltation to office of Southern
men.”
