APPREHENSION IS FELT AT ATTITUDE TOWARD COTTON Those Interested in Cotton Production Alarmed at Position of War Ship ping Board. ! Washington, 'July. 13. Much j con cern is felt here about the attitude of the shipping board toward the handl ing of the cotton crop this fall, j It is apparent that there is to be a short age of bottoms for tfie shipping of cot ton to foreign countries. There is a movement on foot to try to hold the cotton for the farmers until' ships are available. Government officials are already wrestling with the proposition of transporting cotton to Europe. The warehousing plan may have to be resorted to at the beginning of the harvesting season to protect the farm ers against lower prices. The situation as to handling the cotton crop, where ships are needed, is not very promising. All cotton-needed for war purposes will be shipped, but that is a small proportion of the crop.

The fire alarm was turned in i this afternoon shortly before 1 o'clock when the platform beside the City Motor Company was found to be in flames. The old platform was formerly used by the livery stable as a place to wash their vehicles, and since the garage moved in there, had been use but little. The flames apparently started from the ground, and it is thought that some greasy waste there was the first that caught fire. When the firemen arrived at) the scene, the flames were threaten ing to get inside the garage, and only quick and efficient work by the fire men averted Jfbig fire. About the only da1 mage done to the garage was some slight water, damage. The War Industries Board has or dered newspapers to supply "vendors with a sufficient number of copies to meet the demand, and to discontinue acceptance of unsold papers in return. VIOLENT FIRING OF ARTILLERY IS HEARD IN PARIS Sky ConstanUy Ut Up As If by Great Electrical Storm. PirU. July 15.

A loud explosion, similar no doubt to that uiade by the firing of one of the German howitzers, startled the down town section of Concord this morning shortly before nine o'clock, and people began rushing out of the store to see whether a long range gun wa bom barding this city, or whether it was nv more than an airj raid by ZoppfHn. The -noise came frtm the Concord Motor Company, and a crowd was soon oit .the scene to ascertain what 'was the matter. There the appearance of the garage may have; indicated that some thing of this kind had happened, for windows were shattered, artiele were lying all over the tloor that had pre viously been in the shelves, and. debris was scattered all around. Investigation showed that the trou ble was caused by the bursting of the big compressed air tank which fur; nishes free air for inflating automo bile tires. The pressure was too much for the tank, causing the end to fly out as if there might have been a charge of gun cotton behind It. In its course, the end of the tank tore down a stair way, and threw J timbers all about the building. Some of the fragments struck automobiles standing nearby, shattering windshields, and tearing a hole through the radiator of another machine. A hole was also blown through a wooden partition In the ulldlng. . 1 Fortunately, no oni as near the big tank when it burst, kd this clr qumstance alone; is responsible lor the Jact that no one was injured by the ex plosion. The concussion caused win dows to be blown out, and the whole building was shaken oy the force or it.
