FIGHT To
LIFT EMBARGO.
GEORGIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WANTS PRESIDENT WILSON TO
TAKE UP MATTER AND HAVE
ENGLAND LIFT BAN ON COTTON.
Especial to Times-Recorder.

Especial to Times-Recorder.
ATLANTA, Ca, July 14-The Geor-
gia Chamber of Commerce has taken
up actively the matter of getting all
at the commercial organizations of
Georgia, and through them the. people
of Georgia, to urge President Wilson
and the Congress of the United States,
to take definite steps looking to the
removal of the embargo on cotton
which England has placed on samet
and which if not removed previous to
the marketing of the 1915scotton crop,
will work serious injury to the South
and to the business interests of the
while nation.
The following letter is being sent
to the commercial organizations of
the State:
"We have received requests that we
send referendum to the several COM
mercial organizations of Georgia for
action regarding the matter of the
embargo placed by England on ship
| ments of American cotton to neutral
nations of Europe
unless the embargo is removed or
modified materially before the new
crop comes on the market, which time
is not far off, the conditions will be
more serious than now exist, and in
calculable injury will be done directly
to the South, and indirectly to the
entire union.
I'VE ask that you call a meet
ing of your membership; or, if that is
impracticable, then your directors, and
pass resolutions in reference to the
movement for the freedom of the seas
for shipment of American cotton, and
send certified copies of the resolution
to President Wilson, both Georgia SEN
ators and all the representatives in
congress from Georgia. Also, please
send us copy Of the resolutions"
The matter will be followed up ag-
excessively, and pressure brought from
all forces in Georgia and the other
states of the South through their com
mercial and executive organizations,
asking them to take similar action. The
time is very short, and if anything is
to be done, action in the matter must
be very prompt. If it is known that
the embargo on cotton is to be remoV-
ed or modified materially before the
new crop comes on the market, it is
confidently believed that it will in
crease the price of cotton from the
very day that this fact becomes known
and even an effort in this direction will
serve to strengthen the cotton market.

BERLIN, June 14-To give the

RUTH'S ADVENTURES AT
HOME AND ABROAD

Ruth Holworthy. member Of an old
Massachusetts family and heroine Of
Gordon Arthur Smiths story of The
Crown of Life" lCharles ~Scribner's
Sons), was rude at times. To the
rector of the Episcopal Church in East
Westly, who had been called in to
admonish her, she said pertly: "Tiow
do you do. Mr.. Weeks? How are
your worthy poor?" 1t was impos-
sible for Mr.. Weeks, who was not a
strong character, To admonish at all
effectively a young person of Ruth's
assurance.
In Boston she was rude to Jerome
Defoe, assistant professor Of the Ro-
nance languages AT Harvard. 1t must
be said that jerome himself was q
little supercilious. cut he was 33 years
old and Ruth was hardly IS. To be
sure she was n girl Of some accom-
plishments. "Once she had argued
brilliantly with a professor of Greek
on the morality of Eurlpides-much to
the astonishment Of the professor and
not IA little to his uneasiness. She
could quote fragments of Verlaine and
Baudelaire, she had her opinion OF
Maeterlinck, of Shaw, of Strindberg,
Of Ibsen." Perhaps II was unwar-
ranted as well as unwise for the as
