Across the border in France a whole army corps has occupied Lille. Cavalry has been seen as far west as Hazenbrouck, which is on the railway leading to both Calais and Dunkirk. England More In Danger. This movement, besides being a menace to the allies left wing, if sucecsful would arouse the enthu siasm in Germany as an Indication that the promised aerial attack against England is about to be car ried out. Already bombs have been dropped on Ostend from aeroplanes, which once reached the cost will be within easy striking distance of the Britisli coast ports and even Ixindon. .Monteiu>j;rins Defeats Aiistriaus.

Cotton Prices Lower. The price of cotton has suffered another drop and is now selling for loss than It has for several years. The reason for this drop is that the manu facturers are not able to collect for their goods, and are hestitating to buy I more cotton just now. The farmers , are uncertain as to what to do, wheth er to sell at a loss or trust to better j prices later. The situation will per- , haps take on a more promising out look soon and if the cotton can be kept off the market It will help matters to a certain extent.

A BOXD ISSUE T<» BI Y COTTON Washington, Oct. 13—Southern sen ators conferred again today over the revenue bill amendment they will in troduce tomorrow proposing an issue of $250,000,000 In Federal bonds to pur chase five million bales of cotton and a tax of one cent a pound on a futur-j crop to care for unsold cotton. A series of petitions from Georgin cotten men urging Federal aid were presented to the Senate by Senator Hoke Smith. Among them was a tele gram from the president of the Geor gia State Bankers’ Association, urging that Congress be kept in session until legislation to aid the South could b! passed. Democratic loaders were inclined think introduction of the cotton amendment would not long delay pas sage of the war revenue measure. Sen ator Simomns, chairman of the finance rommlttee, said he believed It would be passed by Saturday.

Xo one would venture a prediction upon the fate of the amemlment. Should it be defeated Southern members may delay final action on the measure pending an other effort to secure relief. Senator Martin, chairman of the appropriations committee, replying ’.o the charges of extravagance which have characterized practically every Republican speech in opposition to the tax bill, started a heated argu ment when he asserted the large ap propriations were due to “makings right the w’rongs committed by the Republican party.” He cited the proposed $25,000,000 indemnity pay ment to Colombia. Senator Martin said Democratic appropriations for 1915 exceeded those for 1913, the last year of tli3 Republican administration by $96, SSS.iititi,. but he classified as “extra ordinary expenditures,” .$103,000,000 of the Democratic appropriations which he claimed were incident to the Mexican crisis and the war in Kurope. Appropriations for routin': governmental expenditures, he said were in reality some -fd.uOO.OOO less than the last Republican appropria tions.
