Early Tuesday morning he tried to reach Galveston, but like other parties had to rv trace his steps. There 1s a derided possibility that the weather vlssltudes of this wet may cause an entire shift In the plans of the Texas league schedule for net season.

Southern clubs finish the season with Southern rivals and the Northern teams also play among themselves.

Iesnlte tbe loss taat the local club has sua, llllned tills year, both Messrs. Sens and noberts aptiear optimistic. "We hsve made good returns on our Investment In other years and we can hardly kick over a bad si-iison." they say.

Possibly so. but there sre few other owners that would not cavil at the blowa fortune has dealt this season. To begin with, the cotton situation and a certain business depression following the trend of Knronesn events presaged a bad baseball year which has heen fully evident here as elsewhere. Again, the club that finished in first place laat year broke under tbe strsln of time this season, and after the Drat third of tbe campaign put Itself completely out of the pennant race. And as elsewhere.

Is not prone to patronize a losing clnb. Home of the best seriee of the year have bad adverse weather. The failure of the clnb has necessitated building np Its iersonnel and adding to tbe roster, carrying more men than the gate 'receipts Jnstlfled, while frequent Injuries hnve kept players on the nay roll unshle to earn their salaries. On top of this sequence of events comes the destruction of the park. And yet the owners are optimistic and will build anew for next year.

America might suddenly conclude that in Its plans for national preparedness It needs for a time (and Immediately) all the ammunition and arms private American factories can turn out. MIGHT PROVE EFFECTIVE MOVE BY U. S. Orders to these manufacturers to turn over their entire output to this government and to sell none to Europe It Is declared could be successfully enforced as a last resort. Public announcement by the war department that the private factories had been asked to report their maximum capacities as a part of the administration's preparedness plans is regarded as significant.

While the American government would not need the immense quantities of munitions ordered from American manufacturers by the allies it could well utilize the whole American output for SO or 90 days In order to bring tbe army and navy supplies up to the standard recommended in past departmental reports to( congress. If the nations now receiving, war munitions from the United States should happen to be cut off from that source of supply for even 60 days, It is believed that their embarrassment would be most serious and would probably bring home more forcibly than anything else the necessity for better treatment of American shipping and American cotton.

Tbe Monday nlgbc disaster, although a severe RETALIATION BY D. S. POSSIBLE Might Decide That Output of War Supplies Is Needed at Home. Inquiry as to Maximum Capacities of Private Factories Significant Relative British Cotton Program. By Walter S.

Gard. WAS- UTON, August 15. Europe's war has served to remove the veneer of civilization with a startling rapidity and at the present stage of the proceeding across the Atlantic there appears to be but one law that Is recognized and that Is the law of mteht. It Is beginning to dawn upon Washington that "notes" to foreign powers engulfed in this titanic struggle are extremely useless. Not leading, power In the world war but has ignored International law.

They feel they are driven to It by that sterner liiwT tne law of self preservation. Great Britain is not going to listen to any sentimental appeals concerning her attitude toward American cotton any more than this country is going to listen to the Idealists and sentimentalists who are preacning a cessation of business re lations with the warring nations of Ku rope. Lord Beiesford's statement of Brit aln's position anent the American cotton crop Is precisely the statement any other European country would make concerning tne united States If similarly- situated. Beresford aaid, "Neutral powers should be Informed that we Intend to maintain our maritime- rights as a belliserent. Of what use to us is the mastery of the seas unless we profit by its advantages? The master upon the sea or the master upon the land is not going to surrender eitner mastery at tnis penlous time and th associations and citizens who are urging this or that course upon President Wilson in this crisis must keep that in mlna.

WHAT IS U. S. GOING TO DO ABOUT ITT Stronger and stronger grows the de mand from Great Britain that cotton be declared contraband. The moment that step Is taken a mighty voice or protest will- go up from the South. It Is easy enough to protest.

What Is the United States going to do about it? The suggestion outlined to the department of state the other day by Representative It. L. Henry is being nlven some consideration, but the department does not look for a favorable expression on the part of Great Britain. The idea proposed is that this nation shall take up with tne entente allies and with Germany, Austria and their allies-the proposition that a formal agreement be en tered Into Jointly and severally by the European powers to permit the entry Into Europe this fall and next winter of at least lo.ouu.wo Dales or American cotton, The agreement binding the consignment of mis cotton to European countries would stipulate that not one pound of this cotton should be used In the manufacture of ammunition or any death dealing en gine to be used In the war. All of this cotton would be used In the manufacture of clothing and similar domestic necessities, WOULD HAVE AMERICANS SUPERVISE DISTRIBUTION.

It is further suggested that the cotton could be distributed abroad under the personal supervision of the American consuls and consular agenta and representatives of the state department, to add to the certainty that the guaranty concerning the tue to which It would be put should not be violated. In order to keep down entanglements concerning the ships used in thia traffic It has been proposed that the United tatea government might charter the necessary vessels to transport this cotton, thus making the supervision lot 'the American government supreme from the time the cotton -is sold until It la delivered to the factory In Eu rope. Burn a proposal mignr. win at any time save this when the only recognized ppwer is the power of force and might. And this brings those who are seeking safe channels oi outlet tor tne lata cotton crop to com forward with the suggestion that the United "tntes haa In her at thla critical Juncture a weapon as powerful aa Britain's mas tery of the eea and Germany's mastery of Central Europe.

In case Great Britain re ruses to modify her orders in council and Increases her Interfere renoe with neutral oommara or declares cotton to bo contra, bamd. it la uggMted by official la Washington that Parents Here is a serious subject for you to consider. The littte folk who are just now starting to school are facing a severe tax on their vision. It is all important that they should have their eyes tested to determine their true condition and, if need be, glasses procured which would remedy whatever defects are found'to be existing.
