London Newspaper Man Discusses
Staple With W.
B. Cooper.
(Wilmington Dispatch.)
"If Europe could provide sufficient
ciodits for the cotton needed there is
every probability the staple would
reach fifty cents per pound." Senator
W. B. Cooper told the London correspondent
of the New York World
upon his arrival in that city from his
continental trip. (The World correspondent
has the following to say
as a result of his talk with Cooper
and other Americans who have neon
on the continent for several weeks:
"American cotton men who have
been in Germany and have just returned
to London, en route home,
told The World correspondent today
that in Bremen and Hamburg1 Gorman
business men are straining to
the utmost to arrange credits for
American cotton.
"Six Bremen business men were
able to provide a $5,000,000 credit for
c? tton, 300,000 bides of which will
soon be shipped. It is thought they
mortgaged' their spinning works to
obtain raw cotton for manufacturing
purposes.
"These Americans returned from
Germany with the conviction that
the majority of the people are determined
once more to place the
Fatherland on its feet. As compared
with labor troubles in the Allied
countries, resulting in a reduced outrnit.
it is stntnd fhjit" (innnnn wnrlfPiN I
in Bremen and Hamburg are willing
to work nine and tori hours daily to
give once more their country a chance
to regain her position among the
world nations. The first cargo of
American cotton was unloading at
Hamburg when these cotton men
were there. It represented $2,500,000.
"Knowing that cotton will not be
obtainable until reliable credits are
found, German financiers are forming
groups to obtain it. Potasn,
which is needed by cotton growers in
the Carolinas and some other states,
probably will be exported in exchange
for cotton. German manufacturers
also are reported as not losing a minute's
time in getting representatives
started out for a world trade.
"The American cotton men met a :
number of them en route to neutral
and allied countries to sell at low
cost whatever goods they eoud find
a maiket for, and hoping that Amer
ica would be one of their best cu - j
toners. i
"W. B. Cooper, one cotton exporter)
h who has just reached London from i
a continental trip, said to The World:
" 'If Europe could provide suffi*
cient credits for the cotton needed,
there is every probability that cotton
would reach fifty cents a pound. Europe
wants more cotton than we can
supply. I have traveled from Italy
to Holland and it is the ame tale everywhere.
They want cotton.
" 'It will be impossible to fill our
own demands and meet anything like
the European demand.'
"Cooper and other cotton men repert
that Dutch interests are buying
American cotton and reselling it to
Germany at higher rates. Being close
at hand they are enabled to keep a
closer supervision upon goods exported
into Germany and arrange for collection."

OF WAREHOUSE CHECK
J. T. Cartrette was arrested last
Friday and lodged in the jail under
charge of forgery. It is stated that he
attempted to collect a forged check
on the Farmers Tobacco Warehouse
for the sum of $1170.84. He did not
collect the money on the check as the
cashier of the Peoples' Hank did not
like the appearance of the check and
held it up until he could investigate
at the Warehouse. Investigation failed
to show any tobacco sales corresponding1
to the number and amount
and the name of the owner of the
supposed lot of tobacco.
It is said that Cartrette went imc

Apparently There Is No Fric- j
tion Between Two Bodies
of Soldiers.
Mnr.'a, Texas.?One bandit was believe:!
to have been killed and two
ethers made prisoners since American
ti t ^ps crossed the Rio Grande
into Mexico Tuesday morning-. A rei
port deceived here told of an Ameri
can cavalry sergeant who rode to tlv*
bordc r after dark and repoi*tcd that
Capta n Leonard Matlack, of the!
Hightli cavalry, had captured two
bandits, believed to have been impli- j
rated in the capture of the aviators,
Peterson and Davis.
Neither man was Reenteria, the
bandit leader, he said. One Mexican
was killed Tuesday when American;
aviators returned their fire when they
saw three bandits near the border,
one of whom was seen to fall with his1']
horse.
The American troops slept last1
night on the trails of the bandits af-l'
tei losing them Tuesday in pouring!
rains, picking up the trails again
yesterday.
Then Pruenada with approximately
25C Carranza troops camped for the
night near Churchilo Pardado^ forty
miles up the Conchos from the base
Oii nttfra. Thov left Oiinaga last i
??? J r-> ^ ?
mj. ht to take the field in pursuit of
the bandits. American pack trains
and other units crossed and re-crossed
the path of the Carranza troops
without friction, according to reports
from the field.
Mexican consul Cosmo Bengochea,
- at Presidio, Texas, announced that
the Pruneda troops were attempting
the same object as the American
troops?to run down and capture the
i bandits. He said he anticipated no
, trouble between the two bodies of
troops in the field. Ho also denied!
i Chico Cano, the bandit leader in the
Ojinaga district, was made Captain
i of the Carranza column stationed at
San Jose, opposite the Indio, Texas,
' on the Rio Grande.
; Major Gen. Joseph T. I)i kman,
commander of the southern depart
mont, was expected hero to inspect
the troops in the Rig Rend district.
It is not known whether G n. Dick.
man will go to the Rio Grande while
he is here.
A national labor party will be form |
