SITUATION BETTER.
President Wilson Says Condition Will
Work Itself Out Soon.

Work Itself Out Soon.
The cotton situation arising from
the European war is being rapidly
cleared up in the opinion of President
Wilson. He told callers that the end
Of the war alone would restore nor
NAL conditions in the cotton industry,
but that rapid progress was being
made in the efforts to assist the cct-
ton growers of the South.
The president based his optimism
concerning the cotton sitlation on the
Fms for furnishing money to tic cot
ton planters and on the opening OF
foreign markets. He said that there
is every reason why all ports should
be open to cotton and predicted that
they would be.
Mr.. Wilson declared that Southern
business men with whom he has talk
ed had not been deeply apprehensive
over the cotton situation. He aided
that he had been confident all along
that the question would work itself
with the assistance of the admins
trative officers Of the government.

preston Of news by the British cen
sors leads to more than the customary
crop Of rumors.
A dispatch to the London Standard
from 'tin the North of France" says
no lists or even figures are officially
disclosed, but the shooting Of patches
Of spies takes place daily in this and
other towns of the district; and in
these last three days nearly as many
women have been shot as men.
The most seasoned veteran loathes
the task Of shooting women, but, ac-
cording to the laws of war it must be
done. They are lined up with the
men, often young girls or women of
refinement, at the zenith of their
charm and beauty; and so, according
to their lights. they give their lives
for their country and meet death as
bravery as any man.
So mary spies have been caught in
France recently that the possession Of
papers apparently in good order
ayails man or woman nothing once
an accusation has been made or sus-
picioc aroused. It is asserted that no
German tongue can ever pronounce
certain French words without .betray-
ing itself.
It is failure to pass tests of this
kind which condemns the suspects.
Their papers may have been stolen
and signatures on their passports
studied so that the holders can pro-
duce passable limitations at will. Spies
have even been caught with their
own photographs superimposed upon
others on passports and with the Off
cial stamps on the photographs coun-
terfeite6.

 By.-noon time ttae report became circulated about the city, that the dye house was working with full eonn- p1ement of men. But the plant is still without weavers in any consider able number, and with this vital part Of its operations handicapped, the full crew is unnecessary in the dye house, all the goods passing through the dye house being the product Of the looms in the Shelton mill. Three dyers who had gone to work this morning quit at noon
 The report became general today that the Speciality Weaving Go. isxsoon to leave Shelton. This is 1 textile plant, near the B1umenthal mills. A strike lasting several months was con ducted at the plant last sunalaer.

 Fritz Stolzenberg, superintendent of the Blumenthal plant. said today he could not make any statement for the company as to the number of strikers that had returned With the increase Tn tfe applicants for work, -y1zI- lance of the strikers on picket duty iA strikers is to be seen on the thorugh- fares about the plant in the early morning. again at noon, and when the mill closes in the evening"
 While nothing official is available as : to the meeting of the strikers last evening. it is known that Matilda Rabinowftz, the I. ". w. organizer and strike leader, flayed several of the strikers, who arose to discIaim their allegiance to certain doctrines of the I. w. w. as set forth in the report of the Shelton borough committee. Speaking from the I. w. w. stand point, she defended the right Of the workers to go to extreme to win their strikes.
 G. McNamara,. one of the strike breakers. got into a desperate fight. on the road near the Shelton sana- toriuI1, last night. He claimed his antagonist was a striker. He did not return to Shelton but continued to Bridgeport, where today his wounds were dressed at the emergency hos pifaa. McNamara claimed his home was in New York city.
