?LOOK FORWARPAM .N.OT, BACK, f Vol. 5. rNo 40 $600,000 If Ul tu Cotton One Concern in Baltimore at ... . : ---jr- ': - '" . l(Xnts S Baltimore has delighted the South and astonished the country by the promptnessandxtent'pll the aid she;js giving to the move for the relief of cotton planters. A Decision of "the " Grown -'Cork and ISeal Company to purchase $600,000 worth of the Southern staple, following the announce ment last week that the Fidelity and Deposit Company wbuid- in vest as much as $50,000, gives Baltimore a commanding lead in the movement now" going on in a number of cities to insure the cotton growing sections against severe loss because of the great drop: in exports, due to the war. No other city in the country has done as well, "although some have been proclaiming loudly their good intentions' A $600, 000 purchase by one business concern is "doing something" it will probably be a long time before any other place matches it. Action is Stimulating. In the meantime, members of the MerchantandMauufac Association are responding to the request sent out by s the special committee this week, and sub scriptions to the general pool ' to be got up by Baltimore business wen are coming in. All over the pity today people were talking of the action of the J Crown Cork and Seal Cornpihy and commendatiqrTwas heard ';0n' every side. , Such- spirit - as this, the theme of comments ran, exactly what i j needed to attract 4 attention to IBaltirrroTe and de moiiatrate'' her " business enter prise. x Below are a number of speci man comments r Richard H. Edmonds. y: Richard H, ', Edmonds' editor of the Manufacturers Becord, said u In every cotton trading point in this country the action of the Crown Cork and Seal Company will be discussed tb the advantage of Baltimore, as - well as to the advantage of the cotton interests of the Sbuth. "If ihe great business concerns of this country in one way. or another directly in-touch witn. the rami fications of the cotton trade will take hold of the cotton situation in the same broad way as this company has- done the whole situation will soon be cleared ujj "In studying cotton it fsfiiiuid distinctly understoodnhat while it is grown in the .South it . !s the nation's greatestiasseii in foreign trade. We have been ex porting to foreign countries, mainly to Europe, oveiKgSOOlOOO 600 worth of cotton a year. It is this enormous foreign cotton demand which has made possible lne maintenance of the balance f trade in favor of the United States. : ' ; i Far Ahead of .

American mills, were not in a position to stock up in advance, and as there was no foreign buy ingra crop :of- about 15,000v000 bales was coming on the market without anybody to purchase. ' 4It should be emphasized that the temporary stagnation in the cotton market is not ? due to any poverty in the South, but to a temporary financial cataclysm of the war which made it impos sible for the: South, or for -i that matter for any -pther section, to finance-it8ell immediately.

C., Sept. 4 The action of the President in issuing a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe, and setting aside Sunday, October 4 as a day of prayer, was received with approval by "Christaiu peo ple all over the world, as well as in our own countiy. Some of the editorial expressions from leadiflg papers are given here-; with: ? A Nation On Its Knees By his proclamation, naming Sunday; October 4, as the day of general supplication, the Presi dent, in his own words,! has. re cognized the 'especial wish and longing of the people of the United States in prayef and coun sei anu au incnaiiness to server the cause of peace " i- The purport of the appoint ment of the day of prayer is felicitiously stated by the Presi dent td" take action which shall proye 'conducive to that concord among men and nations - without which there can be neither hap piness nor true friendship nor any wholesome fruit of toil or thought tCtlie; world.tT" : His effort "for the world's peace was shown in his attitude in- the' patient Vigil he kept in evervjx asperating circumstartctT'to ir.zin tain eubentrfSlsnt " aloofness to- Gorhe 'oft those.' who-, at the ;iiae vante'd belligerent --action have ..... ?, . .," -. r' j' t . - ir different way of think ing; as they have read the tale told in Eufope from one hideous day to another. It must - stir even th$ consciences of the war makers and the fire-bringers to know that thousands of miles away a nation is on its knees in prayer that the peace df God which passeth understanding' may Once more prevail. Philadelphia Public Ledger (Rep ) ! Tho Day of Prayer President Wilson's proclama tion calling for a national; day of prayer on October 4 for the ces sation of war in Europe probably is without precedent in this or any other country. But, if so, it is the riiost beautiful precedent that has ever been set in any : na tion.' There are prayers for peace in our prayerbooks, and days of prayer for the speedy termination of. wars have been often fixed by official proclamation in. countries engaged in them; but for a neu tral nation of more than 90,000,: 000 of people to get down on its knees and pray for peace in other countries will be one of the most impressive as well as one of - the most unusual spectacles ever pre sented on earth, w We believe everybody in .the United States will offer up a prayer on that day in the earnest spirit; of altruism, which the : President's message suggests, And if anything can make a path f or V peace "where men can see none," we believe unselfish! supplication from . the hearth of a- great country can open ItKe door of divine Oompassion.
