CAMILKICM rOTTOX .SCHEME.
The most far-reaching and 'lnunelal
movement of tho wock In C South
has been th corganlsatlon by Aua O.
Candler anu bia associates of a com
pany to build Immediately a ware
house with capacity of 200,000 bales
of cotton, the entire Investment to
be abtut 11,000.000. Also the un
nounecniont Is mode by Mr. Candler
that he und his associates will lend
up to 7 cents a pound on cotkton ut 0
per cent. Last year, at the time of
the most serious deprosHlon in cot
ton. Mr. Candler put up temporary
Bheda for warehouses and offered to
lend *30 a bule up to 1,000,000 bales,
thus steadying the whole market and
< reatlng confidence throughout the
South in the cotton situation, ills
present move will result In the im
mediate construction In place of tem
porary warehouses of a $500,000 rein
forced concrete fireproof warehouse,
und an advance over the loan value
put on cotton last year. This move
ment will doubtless havo a marked
effect in stimulating other financial
Interests throughout the South to co
operate lu financing and marketing of
the cotton crop.
CHAMPIONS OF PEACE*
lu the \um few days it has seemed
to millions of Americans that wo were
perilously near war. As a result of
the sinking of the Arabic, with the
killing of two Americans and the
jeopardizing of many more, there
seemed nothing for our government
to do hut to s< d Ambassador Born
slorff home and recall Ambassador
Gerard from Berlin. And such sever
ing of uur relations, It was under
stood, wnlie in no souse an act of hos
tility, might be followed by other at
tacks making it necessary for us to
go to war Ao protect our citizens and
Bavo the nation from wot Id-wide
contempt.
And then, when the government and
people had almost given up hope of
any action on Oorniany's part soften
ing the offense and healing the breach,
there came a friendly message from
Berlin expressing sympathy and ask
ing the nation to withhold Judgment
until Germany could report the facts
a she found them.
That message brought instant ro
thnt Germany wanted to avoid a
break with the United Stated, ar '
that In all probability she would yield
enough to attain that aim.
Of course, wo are by no means out
of the woodB yet The Arabic contro-,
versy 1b not settled, and the shadow
of the Lunltania still hangs ominous
ly over our negotiations wfth Ger
many. But the prospect Is less dark
than it has been for many weeks.
And that fact points a moral.
Why did Germany hasten to reas
8utc ub and stem the tide of Indigna
tion and protest?. Uocause Germany
did not want war with the United
States.
And did the American government
or people want war? Absolutely not.
It is safe to say that never, in any
great national crisis, did this nation
want to fight less than it docs today.
No war wo have ever engaged in was
half so unpopular as would be a war
now with Germany.
And yet?the nation had made up
its mind to light Germany, if it came
to tho worst. Wo should havo Joined
her enemies sorrowfully and reluc
tantly, In tho performance of a duty
no longer avoidable without forfeiture
of our rights, our self-respect and our
safety.
And because the statesmen at Ber
lin aro beginning to recognise this
sprit of calm and judicial determina
tion, they are showing signs of a re
turn to justice and humanity.
If this encouraging tendency per
sists, aud Gorman-American relations
become friendly again, or even toler
able, It will be a triumph not for the
Utopian pacifists who go about preach
ing "peaco at any price," and certain
ly not for equivocal "peaco" organi
zations which arc using the stars and
stripes and the badge of labor to
cover an alien propaganda In tho in
terest of Germany. It will not be a
triumph, either, for th* Jlngolsts who
havo filled the land with clamor, but
whoao shouting and frothing have had
Kttlo eyoct on the great mass of
aan Americana.
It will bo a triumph for the Intel
ligent end patriotic loaders and rep
resentatives of public opinion?edi
tors, statesmen, businessmen, lec
turers, etc?who have urged from
the first rational military prepared
ness and an unflinching stand for
American rights. Newspaper editors
particularly ha.e been subjected to
criticism in the last few weeks, be
cause of the mistaken notion that they
wore deliberately working for war
against Germany. Nothing could have
been farther from the fact. We do
not know of a single newspaper, edi
tor in any section or city who. If he
lief. It was
evidence
hail the power, would bring on war
with Gcnrany for tin- grievous of
fenses Germany has bo far committed.
Dut t!ie uewspupcr men whose work
keeps thern in touch with history in
the inuklng have felt thac the way of
national self-respect is also the way
of nntiouai safety?that lliu way to
avoid war is to show any nation
trumping on our rights that we uro
not afraid of war. And believing this,
American newspapers with a few ex
ceptions have demanded ever since
the Lusltania massacre that the rights
of American citizens?which are also
the rights of humanity- -be protected
"without compromise and at any
cost."
(Jcrmany at first did not believe that
we meant it, in spite of the presi
dent's plain words. At last, appar
ently, the truth has percolated to the
llorlin consc iousness.
Manifestly the thing for us to do Is
to persist without deviation in our
present policy. Even that may In
volve us In war; but it Isn't neurly
so likely to do so us cowardly sub
mission, which, by encouraging for
eign insult und wrong, might culmi
nate tu some great outrage making
war Inevitable.
New York City is all excited over
the fact that "Ulg 11111" Edwards bus
announced his candidacy for the oftlee
of sheriff alleging no ppeclul quaiil
flcntious except that he Is "an Amer
ican." Of course, when you come to
think of it, Americans uro scarce In
New York.
loot's hopu it won't be us hard for
the German foreign ofllco to And out
who sank 'the Arabic as it was for the
Ocorgla coroner's Jury to learn who
lynched Leo Frank. (And let's hope
the Kaiser and his fellow-statesnicn
will spend more than three inlnutcB
on the job.)
BIG GUNS FOR (OAST DEFENSE.
It is rcnsr.urlng to learn Uuvt our
coast defenses uro to be strengthened
with 16-inch guns of a now type, ex
pected to prove stronger and more
effective than any other fortification
guns du the world.
They aro not yet built, but plans
for them have been completed and the
fortifications board has recommend
ed that 'they be constructed to replace
tho 14-lnch guns in our most Impor
tant defenses. Their value consists
not so much in their longer range as
In thler greater weight of metal. They
will throw a projectilo weighing 2,->
220 pound, 600 pounds more than the
14-lnch guns. They are expected to
prove offensive against the most pow
erful weapons of offense carried by
modern battleships.
In tills connection It is remarked
that even tho famous British super
dreadnought Queen Elizabeth, with
her armament of 15-inch guns, has
not succeeded in reducing the Darda
nelles forts, and these new guns will
be far superior to any at tho Darda
nelles. They are expected to outrange
'nil battleship guns; but that 4s not
necessarily Important. A battleship Ib
at a disadvantage because it 1b very
vulnerable and because, bel?g in mo
tion, it cannot be sure of its aim.
Coast guns merely equal- to those of
an attacking fleet but mounted on
solid foundations and fired according
to a ?yBtcni which has previously
charted ovory yard of Oae area they
cover, aro almost certain to win in
fair battle.
It should be easy for the new guns
to repel any enemy at Cape Henry,
Sandy Hook, Panama, Colon and other
important defensive coast points, thus
protecting ous national capital, our
principal seaport cities and tho canal.
"WAR ON CATS.
"Over 6,000,000 birds, many of Oacm
of rare and amost extinct species, are
destroyed annually by cats." says Gil
bert Peavson, secretary of the Nation
al Association of Audubon Solletics.
"There Is no wild animal or bird
of prey on this continent which com
pare in destructlveness with the do
) mostlc cat It depopulates Oae woods
of our native songsters and left alone,
will render silent every grove In
America. Qsmo birds have suffered
terribly from Its ravages, Vagrant
and so-called 'domesticated' cats to
gether deatroy more birds than n."? tho
other forces in America combined."
He points ont that Oae common view
of cata as civilised household pets Is
fslse. The cat Oaat sleeps by tho fire
In tho daytime reverts to Its primeval
insUncts at night, and becomes a wild
beaat. It roams abroad in search of
prey. And unfortunately Its favorite
prey consists chlofly of our Insect
catching birds, those most valuable
to man both economically and esthe*
tically.
He reports one case in which *
Urge colony of birds, sea terns or sea
swallows, on an Island near Nantas*
kot, was almost wiped out toy eight
cats. From several thousand they
were reduced to a few hundred hoforo
bird-lovers discovered the cause of
the I laughter and destroyed the cats.
The city of Montclalr, N. J. has
taken action to lessen this evil, to
gether with the spreading in infec
tious diseases by cats. It has passed
an ordinance providing for the "im
pounding, sale or destruction" of all
vagrant or unidentified cats found
roaming nt large. The only salvation
for pussy la to wear a tag bearing
her owner's namo and address. If
this policy were followed generally, It
would result In the decimation of the
worthless cats and as a result, the
repopulation of bird communities.

SOCIALIST LEADER
GETS LIGHT SENTENCE
Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. 25.?
(Associated IPrcss Correspondence.)
?German Socialists arj pointing to
the trial of Heinrich Huncke, one of
their leaders, as an illustration of the
growing consideration which the au
thorities have for lac socialist par
ty. Hun*ke was a ."ested ou a
charge of "attempting to incite sol
diers of the army to he disobedie.it
and mutinous, and to induce civilians
to disobey the laws of the land."
Although he was convicted and
Sentenced bo niic months' Impris
onment, tlie- socialists point out that
the accused leader fared far better
than even he himself had expected.
Huncke 1b president of ttcjs German
Engineers and Firemen's federation,
and one of tho most powerful trade
union mon In the country. The fact
that the authorities did ot bring
Huncke before a court martial is hail
ed as a victory for the socialists,
while his escape with a sentence of
oily nine months from a court which
had the power of sending lilm to pen
al servitude" for life is also regarded
with satisfaction by Iluncke's ' fol
lowers.
The trial look place in Bremen and
was heard In camera, but a general
idea of the proceeding can he ob
tained from the Judgment which was
pronounced In open com ? by the sen
ior Judge:
"The charge of attempting to In
duce soldiers to be disobedient and
mutinous canr ot be maintained In its
entirety; the accused can only be
convicted of this offense in so far as
his propagada happoned to reach
soldlors and sailors of the army, and
nav*. His real offence lies in having
distributed and causing to bo distri
buted copies of a phamphlct, entit
led, 'Our Principal Enemy is at
Homo,' among the workmen of the
Weser Shipbuilding company, who are
engaged in manufacturing vessels of
war for the imperial navy.
"It only has been nrovod that the
accused was directly connected with
the distribution of about one hundred
coplca ot thlB phamphlct, and al
though It Is probable Ciat ho was re
sponsible for tho circulation of many
more we in this court can only deal
with the number actually proven. This
circumstance operates In favor of the
accused In meting out punishment to
him. The phamphlct contains pas
sages which constitute an incitement
to disobedience ot tho laws of the
land, as well as other passages which
ar? calculated to disturb the public
pet.ee by stirring op different clasaos
of the population against one anoth
er. The accused baa committed a
crime against his Fatherland in en
deavoring, by means of the circula
tion of this phamphlot, to persuade
the working men of Germany to agi
tate for peace, and in explaining hot
a movement In favor of exercising
pressure on the imperial government
can be carried on with the help of
the Press and through meetings and
public demonstrations.
"All these methods of public agita
tion have been declared to be Illegal
by the proclamations Issued In con
nection with the introduction of mar
tial law at the outbreak of hostilities
so that to advocate them constitutes
the perpetration of a serious crime.
Moreover, the efforts made by the ac
cused to create strife between these
whom he calls imperialists oa the one
band and the working classes c ! Ger
many on theother hand unquestion
ably amount to an Illegal act In tbe
sense of the existing provisions of
military law now in force throughout
the country. It ia quite clear that
Hunc-ke circulated the pbamphlet with
fit knowledge of lta contents and of
its probable effect on lta readers, so
that he committed hia offence delib
erately and with set purpose. AU
EX-SECRETARY
OF NAVY DEAD '
. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.)
Glorious dispatch! I should rather
like to have the credit or it. But
it was not mine. I directed Chief
Crowlnshield or the hurcau ot navi
gation to have sucii a dispatch made
ready. But CrownlnsVricld did not
write it. Who prepared it? Some
subordinate clerk in his bureau.
Who? God only knows. Ab lor mo,
I should not have used the word
'commenced.' I should have said,
'The war has begun.' Aside from that,
it is a mighty good message. I think
we can pardon that word. The dis
patch came in to me. I took it to
the president, saying to Mm: "Mr.
President, I think this ought to go.'
Ho said: 'AH right, sign It.'"
.Mr. Long was called to head tho
navy department when President Mc
Kinley took office in March, 1897 and
also sorvci a year in the cabinot ot
President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt wrote: "It has
never been my good fortune to be as
sociated with any public man 'moro
single-minded In his devotion to the
public intorest."
In addition to directing the navy
during the war with Spain, the offi
cial acts or Secretary Long included
tho olacing of thousands of navy em
ployees under the civil service rules,
and the .prohibition of tho' sale of beer
on naval vessels,
John Davis Long was born in
Buckflcld, Ne., in 1838, the son of a
prosperous business man, but hi? own
predilection was fo rlww, and poll
tics. Settled In Boston after hist
graduation from Harvard, he served
four terms in the state legislature;
was three terms speaker of the
house; was lieutenant-governor; and
in 1879 defeated General Benjamin
F. Butler, the Democratic candidate,
for governor, by a plurality of 13,
000. Ho was twice reelocted wit?
large pluralities, and sent to coa
gifcss for three terms. There he
formed a warm personal regard for
McKinley.
In 1884 he mode a strong speech
nominating Senator Georre F. Ed
munds of ermont for president la the
Republican national convetion. He
was one of tho most polished debat
ers In congress, his speeches being
noted for their literary excellence,
and a dry humor which made him
popular as an after dinner speaker.
At leisure at his home in Wie quaint
Old town of Hlngham. near Boston,
ho wrcte a volume of poems and
translated Virgils Achcld. He was a
member of the American Academy of
Arts and Scicnceo. A total abstainer
from early lite, he was also for many
years -president of tho Massachusetts
Total Abstinence society.
Notwithstanding his national prom
inence as former secretary of the
navy, among his New England friends
he was affectionately known as "Gov
ernor" Long to tho end of his life.
.1-? v - . I, ,
V? Way to Tell.
A gentleuan fromT Oie North was
eager to see one ? ot the far-famed
hook wormed Georgia Crackers, so he
asked an o'd negro to point out one*
eavB The Jester.
"Yo* see that black spot ovah yon
dah in (the field?" sakd? M?se, as he
pointed toward an object ?n tho field
a half mile distant.
"Yes," replied tho Northerner, "biit
I cant tell whether that's ? mon or a
stump."
"Well, boss," was the reply, Mef
you watches It an houah an It moves
It ain't a stump."
these ctrcumfc^icos have led the
cocrt to the conclusion that a term
of Imprisonment for nine months Is
the least penalty which we can In
flict on the accused."
