New York, March 1. The fresh
light thrown upon international af
fairs by Washington advices natural
ly led to increased nervousness in the
cotton market today but the effect
upon prices was comparatively
slight, and the volume of business
limited. This was supposed to reflect
a pretty well evened up situation af-
ter the severe fluctuations of the past
by houses with Liverpool connections
trading was chiefly local. The mar
ket opened steady at an advance of
two points on August but generally 1
to 3 points lower and sold about 10
to 17 points under last night's clos
ing figures right after the call. May
declined to 16.48 and October to
15.82, but the market steadied around
this level on covering, and there was
also some buying of near months at
tributed to spot houses with South
western connections. hM
" GovrJLiSg ' 3y " near motfth .trade
shorts gave the . market a steadier
appearance early in the afternoon
and there was also some covering
by early sellers on a rally -which car
ried old crop positions about 3 to 7
points higher. The new crop re
mained quiet, but ralied to within a
point or two of last night's closing
figures .

LYMAN LAW NOT
4 SUNK BY AUSTRIAN.
(Bjr Associated Xrcss.)
Washington, Mar. l.: It has been
officially established that the Ameri
can sailing schooner Lyman M. Law,
was not sunk by an Austro-Ilungarian
submarine. 1
noimced reason that the United States
could not afford to have them fall
into" the hands of a hostile power, all
these things, in the opinion of offi
cials here take on a decidedly defin
ite form with the disclosures made in
Germany's instructions to her minis
ter m Mexico.
The investigations of the American
Military Intelligence officers and the
secret service along the border have
disclosed many German activities
there, which now in the light of these
revelations can be assigned to their
proper places in the sequence of
events.
At Columbus, New Mexico, it is
charged that German influence were
responsible for the Villa raid with
the object of forcing intervention by
the United States which was expected
to draw the attention of the American
military forces and munitions and
consequently cut down the munitions
exports to the Allies.
The army Intelligence officers are
In possession of information which
seems to imply possible connection ot
Theodc-e Kock, or Kouch, German
vice consul -at- -Parral, Mexico, with
the -attack by Mexican troops on tho
American bavajry under Major Tomp
kins while 'in pursuit of the villa ban-
dits. Although American officers say
they did not tind Kock at Parral
when they were there, they have re
ceived reports that he urged the Mexi
cans to attack the American troops
in order to prevent the capture of
Villa, fearing it would be followed by
revelations of the alleged German in
fluence behind the raid. One high
army officer said:
"I am positive that Koch had some
thing if not a great deal to do with
the trouble at Parral."
From other sources information
has come to the government of other
German activities and influences in
Mexico. Dr. Krum-Heller, a German
active in Mexico many years is re
ported to be . very close to General
Oarranza and active in conducting
'pro-German propaganda in Mexico.
Other information In the nanus or
government Intelligence officers is
that Maximilian Klaus, a German, is
in charge of the Carranza ordnance
factories which have been establish
ed near Mexico City. None of thes
facts in itself is regarded as having
a direct relation to the proposal of
Germany to Mexico and Japan, but
it is realized they are collaral evi
dence of Germany's general plans.
It is probable that a full accounts of
German intrigues in this country, as
well as in Central and South America
of which this government has know
ledge may never become publicly,
known; it is possible that they may,
according to turn of events.
it is, known positively. . however,
.that evidences of the activities of
Count von .Bernstorff, sufficient to
force his departure from the country
at ariv time, were in the haiids of the
Government even before it knew of
