The treasury de partment Tuesday night announced that Secretary McAdoo had requested Secretary Bryan to secure all possible Information on this subject. United States consols already have been instructed, the statement said, to make careful investigations. Those in Egypt, India, China and Russia hare been directed also to report the most reliable estimatea of the 1914 crops in those countries. The reports from the consuls will be compiled each mouth and probably will be made public for the use of cotton pro ducers. Bloodhounds Trace Four.

Germany Pays Indemnity. irrhlngi the Iris of Orleans, four miles from Quebec, for a quantity of ammnnitioti sup posed to Ae buried there for future war correspondents than the frequent references to the American Civil War, and the tactics employed by the great leaders who directed it, particularly Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jack- son, says a London correspondent of The New York World. British officers always have paid especial attention to the American Civil War, but, according to well in formed military men. It was the bat tles of the Franco-Prussian War which, were considered best to repay study by British soldiers, until the publication, about fifteen years ago, of, “Stone Wall Jackson and the American Civil War,” by the late Col. G. E. R. Henderson of the Brit ish army, with an introduction by Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley. The two volumes of this work are quite familiar in the army cramming schools of London. It is studied closely by officers of all ranks, as is shown in the following estimation of its effects on British tactics, which was recently given in an interview by Col. Willoughby Verner, late of the Rifle Brigade, a fellow professor at Sandhurst of Col. Henderson, and later on the headquarters staff dur ing the Boer War: I knew Col. Henderson well, and for the three years prior to the Boer War we were both professors at Sandhurst, he of military history at the Staff College, and I of military topography and reconnaissance. We often discussed questions of troop leading and the best way of handling men under modern rifle fire. Before this, for many years, it had been the system of our Staff Col lege to accept the methods of the Ger man armies In the War of 1870 as the beginning and end of nil modern tae- tiss. I had been audacious enough, when a student at the Staff College in 1882. to disbelieve this, and then had found few supporters. So I was de lighted when one day Col. Henderson told me that he had formed very sim ilar opinions, adding that he believed there was infinitely more to be learn ed from the great Civil War In Amer ica than from the Franco-Prussian War. and Col. Henderson spoke from an unrivalled knowledge and close study of the campaigns in the United States "He further told me that, so far as regards the British army, he viewed the tactics and fighting methods of the famous old Light Division of the Peninsular War of 1808-14 as in finitely more applicable to the effec live employment of modern rifle fire than those laid down by Prussia in 1870 and later, and so slavishly copied throughout Europe Here he apepaled to me very strongly, for as an officer of the Rifle Brigade (which as the Ninety-fifth Rifles, fought in almost every’ action in the Peninsu lar War), It was gratifying to know that such a sound student of modern war as Henderson held these views “The accuracy of Henderson's views was demonstrated on many oc casions during the Boer War, with the result that the whole of our Brit ish infantry since has adopted meth ods for developing rifle fire and of ex “tended formations whereby the g eat est possible amount of protection Is obtained for those engaged in the fir ing line, combined with the maximum Are effect, which was the basis alike of the Light Division work in the Peninsular and of much of the suc cessful fighting in the American Civil War. “According to all accounts, thp Germans to-day adhere to their dense formations in the attack, as in 1870, and it is notorious how their attacks have been consistently met and re pulsed by our British soldiers, fight ing on more intelligent lines. The relative amount of execution thus at tained will be known accurately only when-the losses on both sides are reckoned up (officers at the front as sert that It as is much as 8 to 1), but it can be said safely that, save when overwhelmed by numbers, the British methods have proved their superiority over those of Germany. "It is no exaggeration to say that Col. Henderson’s ‘Life of Stonewall Jackson’ Is viewed by all educated British officers as one of the very finest works of military art. But If you want to have an idea of what we think of this book, and of the great soldier whose life it records, I would refer you to what our great chief the late Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley, thought and said and wrote about him. ‘!Lord Wolseley was without ques tion the first soldier of our days, both as regards his military knowledge and hi" "■'periences of war. Others have s _ oubt become heroes with the tarf but long after these are, forgot?'* - Wolseley and the great vork hr d for the British army will endure “In his own autobiography pub lished In 1903, he writes: 'Hender son’s delightful and instructive work on Stonewall Jackson and the Amer ican Clrll War I recommend to all our officers. They would find Its well- told story as Intensely Interesting as Its teaching is sound and full of use ful advice to Englishmen of to-day.’ uRew pwcpta'^iSH afiajs frlRWWf In 18<S Wolseley, then a Lies tent- Colonel on the ataff In Canada, ob tained leave of absence on private affairs and. uaknown to his chiefs. WEST INACTIVE. Germans Busy Fortifying Zeebrugge and Other Belgian Ports. London reports that in the west, although the German offlclaPyeport says there ts nothing to communicate, the French official statement notes a lively cannonade in Belgium and Ger man activity north of Arras. This may mean the Germans have com menced, or are about to commence, another attempt to get through to the French ports. Certainly there are important changes in the dispositions of the German troops. The Germans, too, according to Dutch reports, are strongly fortifying Zeebrugge and other Belgian ports against a renewal of attacks by the allied fleet. Fighting around Ypres was due to the allies pushing their lines forward. TILLMAN SCENTS TRUST. Suspects Midvale Steel Company Be longs to Armor Plate Trust. The congressional committee inves ligating the cost of armor plate maa- ufacture completed its work on the present trip Saturday. Committee members Saturday night said that they had obtained little Information as to the actual cost of making armor plate at the Midvale steel shops, and addqd that their investigations at the Carnegie and Bethlehem plants had been equally unsatisfactory. Senator Tillman declared that the only defi nite information the committee had received was tl.at “the Midvale com- pnay has been driven by the govern ment into what I believe is an armor plate combination.” ■ ♦ » ♦ RELIEF LEGISLATION. Senator Sheppard of Texaa Announces n Joint Conference. To determine upon a plan of pro cedure for financial relief legislation for the cotton states. Senatqy Shep pard of Texas Tuesday announced that a joint conference of Southern senators and representativej would be held immediately after congress con venes. Several measure are pending in both houses, but it is the purpose of leaders in the cotton relief movement to press bills which may seem most advantageous under conditions now existing in the cotton states. The last Important step prelimi nary to the active operation of the $135,000,009 cotton loan fond waa taken Thursday by the cotton Iona committee when It completed the State committee In 11 of the Booth era states. Tbess committees will select local committeea at once in every cotton producing community. The cotton loan committee also an nounced that a meeting of the chair men of the State committees would be held December 15 to disc use de tails of the loan plan. Although the plans for putting the fund 'into the hands of cotton pro ducers have gone steadily forward, it was Indicated that possibly a large part of the 9100,000,000 contributed by Northern banks might never-be used. Officials realize that some Southern producers are not particu larly enthusiastic' over the plan In view of the interest to be paid on loans, and of the prices now quoted on cotton on the New York and Liv erpool exchange. At the same time It was said the plan is regarded as successful wheth er a dollar is borrowed under it or not. The very fact that the cotton exhanges have reopened and that cot ton is selling for fairly good prices, officials declared, was due to some ex tent at Ifeast to the completion of the loan fund. The State loan committees are composed of bankers and the follow ing were among those announced: South Carolina—R. G. Rhett, gle. Jr., Charleston; E. W. Robertso chairman; Henry Schachte and E. H. Pringle Jr., Charleston; E. W. Rob ertson, Columbia; C. G. Rowland, Sumter; John M. Kinard, Newberry. OOPY “REBEL YELL.” German Soldiers War Cry Compar able to Southern Battle Cry. Edwin Emerson, ataff correspond ent of the New York World, writes from Berlin that when the German soldiers attack with the bayonet or make a cavalry charge they yell “Hurrah!” There arealao some oth er special war cries. Thus some of the old Hussar regiments cry “Hus- sah!” while the uhlans when they charge with their lances uaed to shout “Ulla. ulla!” and still do so in certain regiments. But these special cries are the exception. “Hurrah!’’ is the rule. According to the German newspa pers no foe can resist this cry of hnrrab! ” J udglng by some soldiers’ letters from the front the sonnd of the German “hurrah!’’ would appear to have the tame nerve-racking ef fect on those who hear it from the other side aa did the rebel yell in the Civil War in the United Statee or the blood curdling warwhoop of the Sioux or Apaches in the days of the Indian campaigns. BUILDING SUBMARINES. COSTS S.JM A POUND. Government Issues Report on Cotton Crop and Its Cost to Fanner. The cost of producing cotton aver ages about 8.24 cents a pound, or $20.35 an acre, according to Assist ant Chief Not C. Murray of the fed eral bureau of crop estimates, in a report published last week. These statistics, the latest available on the subject, are thq results of the Inves tigation made in 1910. A similar investigation in 1896 showed the pro duction cost as 5.27 cents a pound, or $15.42 an acre. » Germany Concentrating Naval Aspira- tion oa Under-Water Terrors. Telegraphing from Copenhagen The London Dally Mail’s correspond ent says; “Ralizlng Great Britain’s preponderance in dreadnoughts, work at the German dock yards la being concentrated on the construction of submarines and air craft and alao on what are called ‘floating batteries.’ “The German theory appears to be that the British fleet can be beaten by launching against it a huge sub marine and air attack. It la reported that the German fleet again has steamed Into the North sea. About 100,000 fugitives from East Prussia have been sent to Schleswig Holstein and Hanover and more than double this number la being cared for in the interior of Germany, a majority of them being without work or food.” SWITZERLAND SAFE. Army of Two Hundred Thousand Men Guards Her Neutrality. David Jayne Hill, former United States ambassador to Germany, has returned with his wife and daughter, after spending the summer in Europe. He said that Switzerland had mobiliz ed an army of 200,000 men.

Here it was that he met several of the famous soldiers of those days, and among them StonewaH Jackson, of whom he writes (pp. 138-139); ‘What a hero, and yet how simple and humble- minded a man ’ “Comparing Jackson with his great chief. Lee, he says; ‘Both were great soldiers, yet neither had any Goth- like delight in war.’ “It was my honor to serve on Lord Wolseley’s staff on active service, and to have seen a good deal of him during his Utter days; and I repeat edly have heard him talk with en thusUsm of the soldierly qualities of Lee, Stonewall' Jackson ^nd other leaders whom he met during thoee eventful days In America.” Woman Found Dead.

U. S. Cavalrymen Catch Nine Heavily Armed Mexicans. United States cavalrymen Wednes day night captured nine heavily arm ed Mexicans, part of an alleged fili bustering expedition of 25. The cap ture was made after a chase near Hidalgo, Texas. Major Arturo Marm&nlo, one of the captured Mexicans, said the expedi tion was aimed at capturing Reynoso, Mexico, a border point sixty miles up tohe Rio '/rande from El Paso. He said the attack, planned for Thurs day, probably would be postponed be cause of the vigilance by United State soldiers. The Mexicans cap tured w ere mainly officers. H. L. Linder, • telegraph operator in the employ of the 'Postal 1 company, and attached to the of the New York Globe, was nt New York Friday, charged with violating Eectioa 5’2 of the penal law, la that he revealed the contents of a telegraphic message sent out by the Associated Press. For a long time it has been evident that dispatches of the Associated Frees were being systematically stolen and were redistributed by a number of smaller agencies. A care ful watch was set upon the buslnem and suspicion pointed to a man em ployed in the office of the Globe, a New York evening paper. The caae was considered with the executive committee of the Associated Press directors at a recent meeting sad a plan to detect the culprits sad bring them to justice was adopted. For the purpose of transmitting the more Important newa In bulletins wires connect the central office of the organization at 51 Chambers street with the editorial rooms of the va rious members In New York. In the office of the Globe these bulletins were cople4 surreptitiously by Linder and repeated to the New York Frees Bureau, a Wall street concern. Fre quently within two or three alnutee after their receipt in the office of the Globe they appeared on the News Bureau's ticker and in the reports of the International News Service, the Central News of America and other minor organizationa. For the purpose of trapping the wire-tappers the following dispatch waa prepared: “Bulletin, E. O. 8. "Petrograd, November 27.—The Russian dreadnought Fllba, formerly the Ismail, striking a mine la the Gulf of Finland, is a complete Iona, with 450 lives. “Add Petrograd under dash. ^ “Loss of Flllbsd—the Ismail—waa one of four Baltic dreadnoughts laid down at the Kronstadt yards In 1112. She had a displacement of 29,000 tons snd carried nine 14-tnch guns and twenty 5-lnch.” The short bulletin wire to the Globe office was detached from the circuit, which included the other New York evening newspapers, not mem bers of the Associated Press, so the meaaage would ^ to the Globe alone. Aa anticipated, the dispatch instantly appeared upon the ticker and not long after was printed la the papers served by the other news agencies In different parts of the country. Aa soon aa this waa done, and before It appeared in any issue of the Globe, a notice to “kiU’' was tent out. and the telegram, therefore, at no time reach ed tbs public as from the Associated P 1*666 The word ’’FlUba’' was Cryptic. Substituting for the Initial consonant the consonant following thhe alpha bet. and (or the two vowels the vowels following the slab abet, ’‘Fill- ba” became “Globe.” The telegram was identified beyond question and its source made plain. The telegraph operator was arrested and made a full confession. Ho was arranged Friday afternoon before Magistrate F. B House and held In •5.000 bail for n bearing on Doomsber 1.

He ttted his office carefully with a safe and appropriate furniture aad installed one of the New Y rk News Bureau tickers. Employees of the Associat ed Press were assigned to watch the ticker with great care and to time each dispatch. During a period cov ering several weeks It waa observed that the dlspatchM of the Associated Press were constantly repeated upon the ticker within five or ten minutea after they were sent out by the A.
