 The sentiment of the conference was expressed in the following resolution introdced by Senator White and adopted without dissent:
 Resolved, That we will most earn estiy endeavor to maintain the price of cotton above 10 cents pound and to accomplish this end will bring to bear. as far as we can, the powers of the national and state governments to restrict acreage for theyear 1915. and furnish governmental aid to han dle. the present crop
 As a matter of fact. the general ac- tion was compromise between two distinct clements in the conference.
 Action Compromise
 The governors present. among whom was the governor of Alabama. ap- parently intended to place on Con gress the responsibility for remedial and succoring legislation. On the other hand, the congressmen seemed deter mined to leave the issue in the hands of the various states through their legislatures. So, a. compromise was found in specific recommendations
 hish Congress will be expected to follow and in 2 few generalities fof the guidance of the states.
 No new measures were evolved and

By OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD. JR.

Paris, September 16.--(Special Corre- spondence J-Ten days ago the German invader was knocking at the gates of Paris. The sound of cannon was audible from the city. Many people thought 1t was only question of days before the beautiful city would be in alien hands. Hundreds of thousands of it's population had refugeed to the south. the Norman coast. or to England.
 It was said at that time, whether with truth do not know, that General Galli- eni, the military governor of Paris. had expressed himself in the councils of the government as not being in favor of at tempting to defend the city. It was said that his idea was to retreat further and further south, drawing the Germans after. him and away from their own base. thus making their communications more diffi- cult to maintain. and hence throwing the weight of a number of potent advantages with the allies when the time for a de- clSiNt SlTuS6ic SifOuiO SOiAiN- AhOtHSi AC- suit of such tactics would have been that the Germans should have then been so far away from their capital that had the Russians made swift dash with over wheIming numbers on Berlin they would have been unable to return any of their strength to defend it.
 Decided to Make Stand
 However, the government at length de- cided. so I wcs told, that regardless of the strategicaI and tactical advantages that would accrue from such course the moral effect Of giving up their capital without fight might be detrimental to the spirit of the French people. Therefore Gallieni issued proclamation in Which he stated simply that he would defend the city 'to the end" The result was the great battle of the Marne.
 Tn this tremendous conflict. in which countless numbers of lives were lost and the tremendous driving force of the German army was finally checked. the left wing of the allied army defended Paris and the line of battle extended along the River Marne past Chalons and then across country into German terri tory.
 This line of resistance, which had been made to swing down from the Belgian frontier until It's left touched Paris. had at last found position where 1t could risk a pitched battle with the opposing
