TO HELP COTTON GROWERS
curtallment Of Crop Main Issue Advo
Gated at Washington-Undert ons
Of Discord ls Felt.

Washington,-What the conference
OF cotton producing states governors
resulted in is told in seven short 1850
buttons which were unanimously adopt
ed at the final meeting Of the COVER
nors, senators and representatives.
Georgia politics, with Gov. Slayton and
Senator Hoke Smith representing the
rival factions, Jared the first session
Of the conference and at n time
threatened the peaceful transaction Of
any business at all, but after the first
clash between the antagonistic state
leaders sufficient harmony was re-
stored to permit regular order. In
other words, the conference did not
break up in the row that was threat
ened by developments at the initial
meeting.
The first resolution adopted was pre-
pared by Senator Robinson Of Arkan-
sas. 1t follows:
"First-That the acreage OF cotton
to be cultivated in the United States
in 1915 shall be materially reduced.
That to accomplish this end every le-
climate means shah be employed.
"Second-That the members OF this
conference make every possible effort
to secure federal legislation which will
enable the producers of cotton to OBJ
tain loans Of public funds deposited In
the banks, at a reasonable rate OF In
terest to be fixed by the government,
upon such part Of the present crop and
under such conditions as may be pre-
scribed by law and by the rules and
regulations lawfully made by the treas
ury department"
Senator Robinson first offered a res
olution much stronger than the fore
going, but the governors were timid
and supported the modified substitute
as given above.
What actual good, II any, was accom-
plished by the conference Of governors
is now and will be for some time a
matter Of individual viewpoint. Those
who participated In the meetings are
saying very little. They are hopeful.
however, that some substantial relief
to the cotton situation will result.

ALLIES HAVE ADVANCED ON THE-
EASTERN WING SOUTH OF
WoEVRE-LlNE EXTENDS.
REPULsE GERMAN ATTACK
French Forces Reach Practically t.
BELGIAN Frontler-LuII in Fight in
Center-AWait Outcome of
Wing Attacks.

London.-The battle of the Aisne'
finds the allied armies pushing with
all the strength they can bring to
bear in their great effort to outflank
the German right wing and force It.
back from its line of communication
through Belgium.
There is evidence that this move
ment is beginning to tell, and that I'M
less something unforeseen happens
this portion of the German army must
fall back to another defensive line.
The French official report says the
action continues to develop to the
northward, so that the French left
must be pushing toward Cambria, as
it was in the neighborhood of Albert.
Even farther north than this the
French cavalry is operating and last
week a German force which was sent
to Orchies, 16 miles southeast Of
Lille, to punish franc-tieurs for an al
legged attack on a German hospital at
that place met with superior forces
and had to fall back.
The Germans, too, admit that they
have been unable to arrest the French
advance against their right and also
that the allies have advanced on their
right front. Indeed, there seems to be
some agreement in the official reports
Of the belligerents on the events in
this part of the battlefield.
The German reports refer to an ad-
vance of the allies, while the French
communication says a vigorous attack
made by the Germans Of Tracy le
Mont, northeast of the forest of Aigne,
was repulsed with heavy losses. These
reports may refer to different incl
dents, but they agree that the advan-
tage is with the allies. In the center,
from Rheims to the Mouse, the armies
appear still to be waiting for the out
come of the fighting on the wings, as
there has been a lull in the battle
there.

tions In France.
New York.-For the moment, all in
terest is fixed on the territory ocess-
pied by the French left wing and the
German right wing, where the most
determined fighting of the battle line
is going on. The allied forces grad
ually are moving northward, and, &C.
cording to the French official state
ment, that battle continues to develop
more and more toward the north, the
allies attempting to get beyond the
extremity of the German line for the
great outflanking movement which has
been the object of their operations.
A continuation of this advance to
the north would bring the allies to
Cambria, a strongly fortified town in
Nord, and beyond that as far as the
circle could be drawn.
Meanwhile there is comparative
calm from Rheims to the Meuse, which
constitutes the center of the front, but
in the Woevre district there have
been engagements in which the
French have made advances.
Regarding the operations in North
ern Farnce, Berlin is officially silent,
dispatches from the German capital
declaring that no information has been
given out regarding the progress of
the general engagement.
An official announcement from Pc
trograd says the Austrian province of
Galicia is completely freed of Aus
TRANS, the last remnants of their
troops having sought refuge In the
Carpathians. An unofficial dispatch
from the Russian capital says fight
ing along the East Prussian frontier
has resulted in the repulse of all the
German attempts to force a passage of
the River Niemen, in the government
Of Suwalki.
To offset this, an official statement
issued in Berlin dealing with the sit
uation in the Carpathians says the

tains in small columns and break

Archduke Frederick of Austria, COM
mander-in-Chief of the Austrian army.
has issued an army order in which he
declares that the situation of the
Germans and Austrians is favorable"
Malines, Belgium, has been reoccu-
pied by the Belgians, according to a
dispatch from Antwerp. The same
message states that on Wednesday the
Germans renewed the bombardment of
Lierre, a manufacturing town nine
miles southeast of Antwerp, and Heyst
Opdenberg, a place heal Lierre.
