Field Murshall Kitchener. In n
speech at the l,ord Mayor's annual
bsnuuet In London Monday night,
again forcibly reminded the English
that the British empire Is fighting for
I
itn very existence ami that more men
would bo needed for the army, and
still more and more increasing num?
bers as rai idly as they can be enlist?
ed and trained for active service. He
warned his hearers that the war would
bo a long one and thai the empire
would be called upon to make many
sacrifices before victory is won and
the er my crushed. Kitchener now
has a million and a quarter men in
training camps in England and en?
listments are more numerous than at
the beginning of the war. England is
Just beginning to get ready to mal.?
war In earnest on a large scale. When
Lord Kitchener hns his army ready
the great German war machine will
be put to the supreme test.
The Wade cotton h au pbn is be?
ing critlcsed by some of the regular I
cotton dealers who knock It because
It Interferes with their business and
also because they claim that those,
who borrow money from the pool
will pay an excessive rate of Interest.'
Perhaps the criticism Is Justified, hut
It must b< borne in mind that the
Wade plan was devised as an emer?
gency measure to relieve extraordinary
conditions. The machinery for handl?
ing cotton In the ordinary ? h innels of]
trade had broken down eomptctoty
and the cotton growers have been un?
able to oi.rain the money they needed
anywhere at any price, if the cotton
brokers had been able |g handle the
cotton ml furnish the money the
farmer* and cop on m< r? euatl needed,
the Wade celt ?n pool would WOUl '?
not have been tin ucht of. hange it
? b es not come with good form from
cotton brokers to attempt to discredit
the onl\ pi o tP ;.' plan that has hecn
devised to finance the surplus otton
it may be true that tie. who obt lift
