BONDED FARM GOODS. Government About to Make Them Ba^ ?is of Curfency Issue. Washington, August 24.?Representatives of the vaJnous branches of the cotton industryin conference here today with thj^/Vederal Reserve Board, and other ^'government officials, were assured by the secretary of the treasury that properly safeguarded warehouse receipts for cotton would be made the basis for currency issued by the new Federal reserve banks. ^ The conference immediately took up the question of proper warehouse facilities and discussed the details of financing the crop. Secretary McAdoo told the delegation that the disposition ^ was to make not only cotton, but tobacco and all other "stable products | properly secured" the basis of bank credit. The conference, which represented cotton growers, merchants, bankers and manufacturers from twenty-two states, after a morning session with Secretary McAdoo and the reserve board, called on the president. He assured them of the full co-operation of the national government in their efforts to meet the situation confront >ing the cotton as a result 01 me wubing of the European markets by war. The president urged that every interest do its best to help itself, v "I am not to believe," he said, "that m these conferences are intended to call > upon the government to rescue men who know how to take care of them(flk selves; but that they are called for the purpose of common counsel, and for the putting at the disposal of men who ' know how to take care of themselves every legitimate instrumentality of the government itself. "The conferences that we have held in recent weeks have done a vast deal, first of all to clarify problems, and second and perhaps more important to MP show how by co-operation we can solve the problems. Not all of these problems are going to be entirely solved, because the circumstances are of such extraordinary difficulty, but that they will come very near to being solved. I, for one, have no doubt?provided al4 ways we keep cool and think of these things in the same self-possessed temper we would exercise if conditions were not extraordinary. We are not to be run away with by sudden excite?. ?,a nnt tn ho imrinsed UDon incut, n t v ??v? .w ?? M . by unusual conditions and the minute we sit down together I am sure we can work things out." The conference this afternoon de4 voted considerable time to discussing warehouse facilities. S. T. Morgan of Richmond, Va., representing the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company, said that following the secretary's announcement his company had made all arrangements for building cotton ^ warehouses through the south from North Carolina to Texas. He said that engineers had estimated that warehouses could be built for from $500 to $1,000 each, to store 1,000 to 1,500 bales. Postmaster General Burleson urged the cotton representatives to disregard the many radical plans proposed for dealing with the situation, such as the valorization of cotton, and to concentrate their efforts toward plans which would be practicable under the law. He pointed out the limitations : of the banking laws and urged that any plan be made to conform with them. Both the postmaster general and the secretary of the treasury warned against hysteria and panic. The .discussion this afternoon developed a sentiment favorable to the proposed purchase of ships by the government for the foreign trade. It was ; stated that with South American and ? Asiatic trade routes opened to American ships, the American cotton man- . ufacturers could extend their cotton cloths to these markets and increase their consumption by 1,500,000 bales. The general opinion was that three million to four million bales of cotton would have to be carried over as a re- . suit of the closing of British, French and German mills. V Cotton manufacturers promised to . make every effort to increase their consumption and agreed not to force down prices for raw cotton. Bankers agreed to make every legitimate effort to aid in the financing of the crop. The conference will meet again to 4 morrow. 0:11 diii r eiaatu gcnaic. Washington, August 24.?The senate late today without roll call passed the so-called cotton warehouse license bill, proposed by Senator Hoke Smith originally to add value to cotton warehouse certificates by means of governmental inspection and certification of the grades of cotton stored in licensed warehouses. " On the floor of the senate the bill was amended to extend its provisions to tobacco, naval stores, canned salmon, grain and flax-seed. Amendments for extension to apples, peaches , and oil were voted down. / The Pork Barrel Bill.?The fact that there are meritorious items in the river and harbor bill is no reason whatever why it should pass. There are always such items in every such bill. That is pari or me piay. ine expectation-aiways is that the proper and legitime .e expenditures will carry through the steals. The whole method of dealing with this subject is wrong. Under present log-rolling conditions it is practically impossible to get an honest river and harbor bill. But there are limits to the crookedness, and these should be observed. The pending bill goes far beyond them. Indiana is, of course, interested in the measure, and the improvements contemplated on the lake and river are, as far as we are informed, of value, not simply to certain communities, but to ' the public at large. But these can wait. So can other worthy improvements. It is outrageous that they should have to, but this is not the fault of those who object to the present bill, but of those who are responsible for it. We are not so rich in these war times that we can afford to squander millions of dollars of the people's money. We are glad to know that the fight : against this bill is to be pushed with ^ the utmost vigor. For that means that j the bill will, in all probability, not get through the senate. We should think that congress would be glad to turn this whole business over to experts, and to appropriate only such money as they found to be needed. Millions of dollars ( ^ heve literally been thrown away for the purpose of making congressmen solid with their districts. This, of course, is an utterly dishonest use of the taxing power. The Democrats profess to believe that taxation should be for public purposes only. We are now to see them put to the test. It ought not to require any Spartan courage to withstand it.?Indianapolis News. ( ? l,ondon. August 23: A Times dispatch from Brussels says the German commander. Gen. Sixtus Von Arnim. f yesterday caused the following proc- i lamation to be placarded in Brussels: "German troops will pass through Brussels today and on following days 1 and are obliged by circumstances to 1 demand from the city lodging, food and supplies. All these matters will be regularly arranged through the municipal authorities. I expect the popula- i tlon t<> conform itself without resist^ \ ance to these necessities of war and .particularly to commit no act of ag ;<ression against the surety of the troops and promptly to furnish the supplies demanded. In this case I give every guarantee for the preservation of the city and the safety of the inhabitants. If. however, there he, as unfortunately there has been elsewhere, any iict of aggression against the soldiers, the burning of buildings or explosions of any kind. I shall be compelled to : take the severest measures." An interview yesterday between the burgomaster of Hrussels and Gen. Von Arnim had the following results: "First, the German troops were to have free passage through Hrussels: second, a garrison of 3,000 men was to be quartered in the Dailly and Schaebeen barracks: third, requisitions were to be paid for in cash: fourth, there was to be respect for the inhabitants and public and private property: fifth, the management of public affairs by the municipal admin/ istration was to be free from German control." The Germans have re-established tramway, telephone and postal services. Trains are running towards Liege and even the telegraph with Germany it; working. The population supports the burgomaster with enthusiasm. regarding him as the savior of | the city. The city remains quiet and > dignified. C'afes are still open, al- I though two-thirds of the shops have been shut. The cafes are closed at 9 .i o'clock. Newspapers arc nat appear- |' ing. The milk supply is falling.

Seven hundred of the 1,000 eenige passengers were Americans, iable to get accommodations in the st and second cabins. One of the pas ngers was Miss Florence Kaipn or iiffalo, who at the outbreak of hostili?s was studying music in Berlin. She >ard the emperor deliver the speech in hich he said his sword had been forcI into his hands by his enemies. As > said it. Miss Ralph declared, he itted the hilt of a heavy sabre hangg at his side and tears came into his es. The Germans cheered the em ror's speech until he told them to go the churches and pray. "The day fore I left Berlin," she said, "the ithorities issued orders that no pades should be allowed and that any rsons found singing patriotic songs ould be arrested. The idea, it is un rstood, was that the government anted to impress upon the people that was a time to be solemn and not to overconfident."
