CAROLINA COTTON BUYERS
FACE RIGID INVESTIGATION
Federal Trade Commission Acts on
Complaints That Buyers Hold
Down the Price.

The Federal Trade nmission al
| Washington Saturday ordered an in
yestigation to determine whether
there is combination on the part OF
cotton buyers of North and South
Carolina and Georgia to hold down
the price of cotton.
This Investigation has been un-
dertaken at the instance of Commits
sioner Harris, to whose attention
complaints have come that such a
ombination. does exist, resulting in
his submission of the matter to the
commission.
The information upon which the
investigation is to be made is to the
effect that for years buyers in the
three states mentioned, and particu-
larly in the two Carolinas, have been
charging different prices for cotton,
these charges varying one-half OF
one cent pound in two points not
more than twenty miles distant from
each other.
|. This difference in price, it is alleg-
ed in the complaints, seems to be the
sole result OF the workings of the al
legged combination. For instance, 1t
is suggested many cities and towns
have practically no large market, due
to the fact that divisions Of territory
for buying purposes are made, one
territory belongingto one buyer and
another territory to another buyer.
These alleged practices arc said to
be confined to certain places named
in the complaints to greater extent
possibly than to other points within
the states specified.

ENGLAND OFFERS CYPRUS
TO GREECE FOR Her AID
All Belligerents are Striving to Win
Big Victory to Influence Seu-
trail States.

:. With the rapid sweep eastward of
the Bulgarians, the people Of the al
lied countries are watching with
keenest interest negotiations be-
tween their governments and Greece.
These negotiations are being carried
on by the British foreign office in be-
half of the Allies. Having failed to
convince Greece that it was her duty
to abide BY the Serb-Greek treaty and
help. Serbia. the Allies have made a
fresh offer to that country, including
cession of the island Of Cyprus. This
offer and an outline Of possible fin
tncial help are now being considered
by the cabinet.
Should the negotiations fail, it is
expected that Greece will be asked
to demobilize or clearly define her
attitude: Conversations also. are pro-
ceeding with Roumania through the
French foreign office. All the bel
ligerents. think, that the best way to
Influence. the neutral states is to win
a big victory. Austria, Germany and
Bulgaria are-trying for.this in SerNa
Germany in Courland and France
Italy in the Tyrol. and Trentino and
Russia in Galicia and near Slonim
which, roughly, is the centre of the
Eastern front.

ARMIES OF SERBIA NOW
FACE UTTER DETERMINATION
Hammered on All Sides by Superior
Forces Swift Allied Assist
ance is Her Only Hope.

Serbia's military position is criti.
cal. Hammered by superior forces
on two sides, her armies are threaten.
ed with being crushed as no army has
been crushed during the war.
Not only were these facts admitted
in England, France and Russia on
Monday, but they are reflected in Of
fetal Serbian statements. Fhe key to
escape from this situation is the speed
with which France and England could
throw forces north from Saloniki, in
the hope Of relieving pressure from
the Austrians and Bulgarians in the
east.
The Bulgarians are battling under
the eyes of King Ferdinand. Not
withstanding the presumably super
ior artillery of the Austrians and
Germans, it is the final attack by the
Bulgarians which seems the most
menacing to the Serbians. At few
places are the Teutons as much as
twenty miles south Of the Danube:
In fact, the ground gained averages
depth of only ten. miles, The Bull
garians are displaying tremendous
energy, indicative of carefully laid
plans preceding the. declaration OF
war. With twenty miles of the Nish-
Saloniki railway in their hands they
have strategic advantage which it
will be difficult to overcome.
The movement. Of Entente troops
from Saloniki still are unknown to
the public but if any considerable
force has been detailed for the task
it must be heard from soon.
From Sofia and Saloniki come de-
mails that Serbians have Strumitsa.
This means that Bulgarian soil still
is free Of invasion. 1t is reported
that the Bulgarians and that a great
battle is raging at the Macedonia
town OF Velezo where the Serbs won
a victory over the Turks in the Bal
kan war of 1912. According to az
unofficial report, the Bulgarians have
taken the town.

VOICE OF MAN TRAVELS
ACROSS BROAD ATLANTIC
Wireless Station at Arlington Talks
With Paris by Telephone-Hon-
cluIu Hears Talk of Operator.

Arlington, Va, talked by wireless
telephone with Paris, France, Thurs
day. Honolulu also heard the opera
tor talking from Arlington. An
| nouncement that . the human voice
| had been projected across the Allan
tic was made on behalf OF John j.
! Carly, chief engineer Of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, at the company's offices in New
York.
Later Mr.. Carly telephoned from
Chicago confirming the announce
ment. To B. B. Webb, a telephone
engineer, fell the honor of being the
first man to span with his voice the
space between the old world and the
new. Sitting in the navy's powerful
wireless plant at Arlington, Mr.. Webb
shortly after midnight Thursday
morning asked the wireless telegraph
to signal the Eiffel tower in Paris.
The wireless snapped out the sig
nal and soon there came back a re-
sponse. Awaiting word from Webb
at the Paris end Of the wireless radio
station were Il. E. Shreeye and A.
NJ. Curtiss, army engineers, and a
group Of French officers, listening
with especially designed apparatus.
In Honolulu, eight thousand miles
from Arlington, Mr. Espenchied, an
other telephone engineer, at the Pearl
Harbor navy yard, also was waiting.
Webb at Arlington had a transmit
ting instrument but no receiving aD-
paratus. He knew therefore that he
would have to wait for the cable to
confirm the success or failure of the
experiment.
Hello, Shreeve," he shouted in the
mouthpiecc. Hello, Shreeve.'
He then began to count, Zone,
two, three, four; one,> two, three,
four; goodbye.
Late Thursday afternoon the mes
sage came. 1t said that Webb's
"hello" and goodbye had been dis
tinctly heard by the engineers and
French army officers in Paris and
that portions Of his test figures had
also been picked up. AT about the
same time there came message from
Honolulu saying that Webb's talk had
been understood in full:by the receiv-
ing engineer there and that even tie
voice had been recognized as Webb's.
Carly said over the telephone that
much experimental work will have to
be done yet before telephone COM
munication across the Atlantic be-
comes an every day affair.

A hard fight is to be waged before the

city has an advantage OF some cents
per 100 pounds in these freight rates over
Omaha, AMI ii is proposed by the roads
to increase Omaha rates 80 cents per
100 more.
The South Omaha Live Stock exchange
has prepared TO make a hard fight
against the further increase. and TO en-
deavor to get the In,erGtate Commerce
commission to put Omaha on similar
basis with Kansas city in the matter
OF freight rotcs on these products. The
matter will also be brought before the
traffic committee of the Commercial

likely be instructed to take up the case.
