WILSON HAS PLAN TO
AID COTTON GROWER
Extension of Relief Through

Expected.
ENGLAND ALSO TO HELP

WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.-President Will
son has a definite plan In mind for the
relief Of the cotton planters OF the
South. This was apparent after Repre-
sentative A. r. Lever. chairman of the
House Committee on Agriculture. had
called at the White HOUSE this afternoon
In behalf Of an organization Of cotton
producers.
The President told Mr.. Lever what
his plan Ia and the Representative from

pressed that he said he would recon-
mend to the that they abandon
arrangements which they had made to
send a delegation TO Washington next
Monday TO protest 10 the President. Mr..
Lever declined to say anything In regard
to the details OF the Presidents plan. but
IL Is believed here that Mr.. Wilson con-
templates extending relief to the cotton
growers through the operations OF the
Federal Reserve Board IND also through
some possible arrangement with the Brit

that the proclamation on the part or

by Great Britain. Frame. Russia, Italy
and Belgium.
Il Is known that officials have reason
to believe tina Great Britain will take
some steps TO aid the Southern planters.
The British Government will adopt this
course because II desires TO minimize
the risk OF causing resentment In the
South which later would be reflected In
a movement In m vor Of Il munitions en-
barge as a reprisal. What form this
British relief will take has not been
determined yet.
The making OF cotton contraband will
have no practical effect. so far rs the

But there are increasing indications
that the Russians do not hope to be

however. hat the Germans expect a

vance must be expected. The correspond
ents declare that the Russians can place
a force on this front of sufficiently great
numbers to make "A stubborn resistance.
There is little doubt tonight that the
Germans are determined to continue
their offensive In Russia indefinitely and
not, as had been supposed in some qua
ters. TO turn their attention again TO
the west. A huge army has been con-
centrated before Brest-Litovsk, a fact
which indicates Enthusiastically that the
