Thu fol lowing under tho heading "Triple Al liance and Triple Kntente," published in June 1912, now a pe pa rs like u pro phecy "Well informell ohserverH of the political, social and economic forces that count most in (lie progress of current European history are noting certain sign? of uneasiness und insta bility In the relations between the great military and naval forces which, to their trained ?ense. portend a com ing storm. The Turco-Italiun war lias distributed tim delicate balance of European politics to a much greater extent than the tuan in the street re alizes. "Ever since 'Bismark's masterpiece', the Triple-Alliance of Germany, Aus tria and Italy, waa achieved in 1883, Europe has been fairly well divided Into two armed camps. The Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente, thc latter consisting of Great Britain, IIUBB?U and France are almost equal In strength, and this approximate equality has come to be a guarantee of peace, since it renders very doubt ful tho outcome of a war. The chief danger point in the political relations rf tho world powers at present is the rivalry between Great Britain and While this war has come suddenly, like a cyclone in its intensity and fury, yet lt appears the preparations have been going on quietly and with determination. THE ?SOI TH'S OPPORTUNITY As the first seriousness of the great war crisis seems to pass, the leaders of the south begin to take courage and to see. In what appear ed to be calamity, possibly a great op portunity. It is true that cotton is the Brest basis of exchange and of credit in the south, but is equally true that the aouth now has In the national capital a friend who will stand for her aid tn meeting any emergency, and, be cause Europe is too busy fighting to need cotton for her spindles, ls no reason why thc manufacturing plants of the Routh should suffer indefinite ./. for ?bo demand for geode wili come later. The great battle for the industries of the south is to stave off the depres sion and to hold on with a tight grip until the turn in the '.ide comes, na come it surely will. At stich a time, the manufacturer and the producer, alike will share In '.ne new business. But there is ano.her phase which is causing the sou'i to feel better, and that is the fact that we may now ex pect more from the Centra and South American republics. Mr. Bryan, In his wisdom, has endeavored to cement more closely the friendship between the United States and her sister Am erican republics, and to -?*m the con fidence and esteem of the rich states to the south of us. Now that tho European ports are blockaded by the fleets of war, the fleets of commerce from South American ports will likely Beek the Southern states for the trade that has gone to Europe, and the man ufacturers of our southern textile plants will find new customers. Ali in all, it is a situation which will help the aouth, if handled prop erly, and if the emergency period can be passed successfully. BATTLE! ?F IPS CAPTURED It was reported yesterday that the French fleet in the Mediterranean had captured three German battle ships or cruisers. Those were the Panther, the Breslau and the Groe ben. From the statistics available, it cannot be learned how important are the Panther and tho Breslau, but tho Gooben, is one of the ten best boats of tho German army. It has twice the horsepower of the battleship South Carolina, which up to four years ago, was the. largest In our navy, has a draught of 27 feet, can travel at a rate of 28 knots,and has nearly 1,000 officers and men. A bat tleship of thia kind usually costs between six and. seven million dollars. This achievement by the French as well as the success - of tho French air fleet in repulsing the Invading German war' balloons shown that the war which Germany has waged, may not he altogether one-sided, and that France has been making some ! few pr?parations henel.*..

N. C., ls of the opinion that the war in Europe will bring prosperity to the cotton manufacturing industry of the south and says editorially: As much as we may, from a humani tarian standpoint), deploro the war, our mind, like that of every cotton manufacturer, is asking: "What ef fect will the war have upon the cotton manufacturing industry?" Temporarily thc effect will be bad because financial and shipping ar rangements will be demoralized, but these will soon be adjusted and to our mind the cotton manufacturing indus try of this country will have a period of prosperity greater than it has ever known. We are now In round numbers, ex porting annually about 8.700,000 bales of cotton and consumig about 5,500,000 bules. The cosumptlon of American cotton in tho countries involved in the war is approximately at follows: England.3.300,000 Germany..'.1,250,000 Russia.. ?')?..'. .... 375,000 Prance. 800,000 A us ir in-11 ?in Ka ry. 625,000 Italy. 550,000 6,900,000 While involved in thc gigantic struggle which now appears certain, theso countries will be unable to con sume anything like their normal amount of cotton and a market must be found not only for a large portion of the 6,900,000 bales of. American cot ton, but also for approximately 3.000, 000 bales of Indian and other cotton that is annually consumed by these countries; With sue'' a sai plus of cotton lt is almost Inevitable xiv.I lori prices will provo.1 nid a flvj or six cont prlco ?9 no: impossibly.

That the heart ot tho .president ia laden with' grief tin a matter which Will cause every loyal American to foel a keen response. - But for the .people of the south, especially, will this bo a day of sadness. Not only bas Mrs. Wilson proved herself io be tho ideal woman to be the wife of a democratic president, but she has been ot great help and assistance to tho president in all ot his battles In life. . She baa been the typical lovely and lovable Southern matron. "She was a > ?^d ?ei vian Prince Who Lead nped at each other's throats Europ? .ause or that little conflict, but bern us?

Of coursa cotton manufacturing will not he entirely suspended in the war territory, but there will at least be a partial suspension and business and financial conditions will be such that it will be difficult to market their producta through the usual channels. The dilllculty of securing n supply of cotton will also be a considerable factor in forcing curtailment- in theso countries. ,! ? As it appears to us, cotton must de cline because the war countr?e?'which now consume 6,900,000 bales of Amer ican cotton will not be able to use any thing like their normal amount - Cotton goods will he in great de mand because the $6?,oOO,?OO of im ported goods, part of which" We can supply, will be removed from competi tion with our homo mills and our S2, 000.000 spindles must supply goods to fill the vacancy caused hy curtailment of 93,000,000 spindles in thc war coun tries.
