NEWSPAPER TALK FOREIGN OPPOSITION TO PLAN NATURALIZATION OF
 MANCHURIAN RAILROAD It Is Believed That Japan Will Not
 Obstruct Program

Washington, Jan. 12.-The state de- ficial expression from the foreign gov ernments interested regarding Secre- tary Knox's recent note suggesting the naturalization of the Manchurian railroads. and officials refuse to at tach much importance to the views of some of the foreign newspapers, unless favorable to the proposition.
 In some instances papers known not to be in the confidence of their governments, or to exercise any po- tent influence in shaping their poll cies have made comment. This is be- lieyed to he true of the Japanese press. It is known at the state de- pertinent that MT. KHox's suggestion is receiving the most careful con- sideration.
 Baron Uchida, the Japanese am- bassador. it is believed. has eXpresse the views of his government in an in- terview recently published in Tokio, in the course of which he is reported to, have said: Americas stand with regard to the preservation of the peace and integrity of China has been and will be. exactly identical with ours. We must understand that America's policies toward Japan and the orient as a whole. have always been on the same peaceful role"
 This expression by the ambassador, which has just become known here, is highly satisfactory to the officials ol the state deaprtment.

ESTIMATED AT 5000 FEET
The Angeleno Heart Stood Still While the French man in a Ladder of Dreams Was Climbing to the Threshold of Stars"

Aviation Camp. Los Angeles. Cal. Jan 12-Louis Paulhan. the French aviator. broke all official and un- official records for altitude in a Far man bi-plane this afternoon
 It is estimated that he rose to a height of 5000 feet As the methods may be questioned, but it is certain that he exceeded Hubert Latham's record made at Mourmelon, France December l. 1909, which was given at between 160o and 1900 feet by at least a thousand feet Paulhan is the idol of the mob tonight. He made his great record shortly after losing the speed record of the course to Glenn H. CuFtiss.
 The F'renchman, using an engine which had just arrived from Paris, had been almost constantly in the limelight all afternoon. He circled the course again and again. skidded and dipped and swung corners in a daring fashion that made his wife shiver The sun was low, toward the sea and the shadows had begun to gather when he made his decision to go higher in the air than any man in a heavier than air machine had ever attempted.
 The wind barely stirred the feathers in the hats of women that blocked the grandtsand in solid masses of colors. Cortland F. Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America. stood in front of the judges stand. en- thusiastic over the beautiful scene that stretched out before him.
 T never saw such perfect weather for aviation he remarked. We ought to have the altitude record broken today"
 A minute later Paulhan rose in the air. bent low his gray capped head. he smiled a smile of promise and made short circle over the mass of craning spetcators. Curtiss had felt the higher currents and come down Hamilton had landed tamely. Paulhan pointed north. went up 1000 feet, passed over the center of the field as though to take another last look at the faces of human beings and then turned north and up again
 By this time there was just one thing in all the universe for the crowd the man and his air conquering machine rapidly becoming a speck in the gathering twilight. It seemed as though this must be something new even to the eternal hills and the worlds old sea.
 At the estimated height of 1900 feet Paulhan described great circle. as if feeling the currents. By this time he was a mile and a half from the camp. By this time word had spread that he had beaten the worlds record and the crowd in the grand stand was reused to frenzy. He had taken Jacobs ladder of dreams to the threshold of the stars.
 Two thousand feet and still climb ing. The sense of distance was al most lost from the earth. No one would have been surprised if the man and his little wings had been swal lowed up in the void.
 At five o'clock the machine be- came palmer. Paulhan began to de- scend. He came down easily in front of the grand stand after being in the air nearly 51 minutes. As he leaped from his machine. cheek glowing and eyes flashing, he was grabbed by friends and carried to the edge of the grandstand, where he barred his head to the thunder of cheers that came in his honor

THE ADVANCE

 ' Easy Stages \ BATTLE IN TEN DAYS
The Foremost Provisional Troops Within Three Days March of the Capital and Living Off the Country They Pass Through,

Bluefields. Nicaragua. Jan. 12.-The reports that Gen. Mema had occupied Acoyapa. unopposed, were erroneous and grew. out of the fact that an ad- vance of 400 provisionals had recon noitered in that vicinity. They did not enter the town.
 Recent official statements based on messages from Granada that there were no insurgent troops in Chon- tales state, appear to have been pro- mulgated in order to deceive the en- emy into believing that the insur- gents were inactive. Correspondents at the front today were informed that the expected battle would not take place before a week or ten days Chamorro's message came as a sur prise to those who are thoroughly in formed of the situation. There is high authority for the statement that Cha morro expected to march unopposed to Managua
 The movement of troops culmina- ting in the concentration before Acoyapa, began three weeks ago, inn mediately after the battle of Recreo. Gen. Mena. with 1000 men. proceeded
 
 Masis and Correro struck into the west, following the Micox river. while Gen. Chamorro moved up the Siqua river. Both sides of these rivers .i'sre secuted as the troops proceeded. Gen. Chamorro emerged at the town of La Manga. while Masis and CpTreo made their way to La Libertad. This maneuver. with that of Gen. Mena, accomplished the object of ascertain ing that the country afforded hun dreds of head of cattle.

 Good roads lead from La Libertaa and La Manga to Acoyapa, and thence to Managua. They traverse generally q grazing country affording in the dry season a hard footing. It is a three days march from Acoyapa to Managua.

ANOTHER BREAK
 IN COTTON MARKET IT NEVER HAD ANY SPECUlA-
 TIVE SUPPORT Holders Frightened By the Approach of the Planting Season

New York. Jan. 12.-There was a further big break in the cotton mar ket today, making the third sensa- tional slump in prices since the movement started early last week. The panic stricken longs in all parts of the world seemed to be liquidating their cotton regardless of prices. and the action of tiIe market showed such intense excitement and demoraliza- tion as finds parallel only in the series of sensational movements fol- lowing the collapse of the Sully boom.
 For more than a year the cotton market had reached level which. since the civil war had only been equalled when Sully was at the height of his fame. March contracts selling at s1e.17 and May at s1646.
 At the \culminating point of today's decline. March contracts sold at SI4.6O and May at s14.7s- a loss from the high record of from s7.s5 to $40 per bale. almost all of which has oc- cured during the last week. De- clines from the closing prices of last night amounted to more than s3.5O bales.
 There does not appear to have been any change in general trade condi- tions to warrant the almost unpre- cedented slump in prices, and in con- trast to the Sully year no financial difficulties had precipitated it.
 It is apparent. however, that one after another the big bull cliques which had been organized independ- ently during the progress of the biz bull market, has been liquidating- Possibly the selling movement was originally due to an effort to obtain profits on long lines, owing to tn; approach of the new planting season and the expectations of greatly in creasing area while the absence of any speculative interests left the mar ket with very little support. It was reported today that spinners are buy ing more freely in the south and late advices from leading southerns spot markets show no material weakness.
