GERMANY LEANS

Disputes, Socialist Tells
Reichstag

Berlin, Oct. 13.-The scheme so ur-
gently advocated in America and other
neutral countries for an international
court Of arbitration was discussed by
DR.. David, Socialist leader, in the
Reichstag on Wednesday. He said:

means of deciding disputes between ma

rial Chancellor's recent Endorsement OF
the idea Of arbitration.

these views" he concluded, wars like
the present one will be avoided and we
can say in truth, Peace on earth"
The Socialist leader emphasized the
futillty OF unrestricted submarine war
fare as a weapon 20 hasten the advent
Of peace, declaring it would further
prolong the war.
Chances for Present Peace Small
He said the chances for peace at
present were small, but that the war
would come 20 an end as soon as Ger

sibility OF annihilating her
DR.. David emphatically repudiated
the idea that Germany could be con-

Much Equipment Needed

They pointed out TO the American
commissioners that enormous quaint
ties OF field supplies and equipment,
new arms and ammunition. would be
required by the Constitutionalist army
before any adequate force could be sent
to the wild and desolate regions of the
Northern Mexican states. To maintain
the Constitutionalist army Of $4,000
troops costs more than two million
pesos a day, il was stated in connection
with the request that some assistance"
be rendered the de facto government by
the United States.
The deliberations Of the day were
led by the Mexican delegates, Luis
Cabrera, their chairman, doing most
Of the talking.
Following the conferences no state
ment was issued. and both Mr.. Cabrera
and Secretary Franklin K. Lane, head
of the American division, refused TO
comment on the days discussions.
The commissioners are skating on
very thin ice" said Mexican in close
touch with the mediators. "In New
London the Americans dld all the talk

their chance and they are not back

61.2 PER CENT IS
CROP
T0DAY'S REPORT.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
A cotton crop of 11,SO0,000 equivalent
500-pound bales was forecast today by
the department of agriculture, basing
crop on August 25th. That compares
its estimate on the condition of the
with 12,916,000 bales forecast from
July 25th condition reports, and A.
10000 bales forecast from conditions
existing June 25th. Last years pro-
duction was 11,191, ,82O bales, two years
ago 16,134,930, three years ago, 14,15s,
4S6, and four years ago 13,703, ,421.
During July heavy storms caused dam
age to the crop causing a loss in pro
duction calculated at 1,350,000 bales.
The condition for the entire crop is
given as 612 on August 25th. with the
Georgia crop condition $40 and that of
Alabama 45.0.
Weather conditions during August
were not the best for cotton. In parts
of the belt there was too much rain
and in others the weather was too hot
and dry, and there was lack of rain
fall. Toward the end of the period
there was some improvement in CEN
trail and northeastern districts, but the
crop was in very unsatisfactory con-
dition in practically all of the Cult
states. Excessive heat was making
rapid progress difficult in picking in
Arkansas, although this work was
making satisfactory progress in the
remainder of the cotton states.
The final condition report of the de-
partment of agriculture will be issued
Monday, October 2.

'AMER|CUS RATES.
ARE LOWERED ON
SOME. ARTICLES
BY NED MCINTOSH.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 91.-The rail-
roads have completed their explanation
of class rates from the several Geor-
gia cities with the exception of the
rates from interior points to the Geor-
gia ports which will be presented later.
and are now ocucpied with explaining
TO the Georgia railroad commission
their proposal to substitute the south
ern classification for the present Geor-
gia classification. This is one of the
most important phases of the rate hear
ing before the commission.
The matter of classification is a
problem entirely separate and apart
flom that Of fixing rates. The classifi-
cation question is being presented by
w. R. Powe, chairman of the southern
classification committee. Mr.. Powe
stated that in asking the substitution
oil the southern classification for the
Georgia classification the carriers did
SO not from the standpoint of any pos
sible increase in their returns, but
from the standpoint of simplifying
and making uniform and clear prac
tices controlled by classification, and
that he believed such a change would
be beneficial to shipper and carrier
both. He explained that the matter OF
classification deals with the arrange
ment of articles presented for shipment
according to their bulk CT fragility,
the manner in which they are packed
their perishability, and is not concern
ed with what the rate may be for such
articles.

GREECE PLANS To
SIDE FOR ALLIES
IN THE BIC WAR

Indications early today are that
Greece is about to enter the European
war, and that the lot of the Hellenic
kingdom is to be thrown in with the
destiny of the Entente nations. An
Athens dispatch filed Wednesday and
released by the censor this morning
says rapid diplomatic developments at
tie Greek capital make it appear that
benevolent neutrality" is to be aband
oned within the next forty-eight hours
which would mean the entry of Greece
into the fighting probably before
morning.
During today King Constantine ar
ranged to receive the French. British
and Russian ministers in audience, anu
it became known before noon that or
ders had been issued recalling Greek
officers on leave to their posts of duty.
The order recalling Greek officers was
issued by the general staff of the army
ard approved by King Constantine.
The Bulgarians, it is estimated III
news dispatches, lost fifteen thousand
men in recent attacks on the Serbians
An Athens wireless telegram confirms
this estimate, besides reporting severe
fighting along the entire Macedonian
front.
Paris reports that German attacks
in Lorrain during last night failed to
result in gains, being repulsed with
severe Teuton losses.
A Reuters news dispatch dated Con

Wednesday night, announces that Tur-
key has declared war on Rumania.

The hearing upon the change in
classification will last until Friday
when the hearing will adjourn until
Wednesday, September 6, when pro
posed revision in special commodity
rates will be taken up. In the meantime
there is pending in the consideration Of

shippers that, in event the shippers
and the carriers do not agree in their
views upon classification changes, the
entire question be submitted to =

tatives of the carriers. two representa-.
tives of the shippers and ]. Prince
Webster. rate expert of the commission,
.as representative of the commission.
ard chairman of the committee.
A great deal of interest has been
taken in the proposed rates from the
several Georgia cities, explanation Of
which has just been concluded.
Effect on Americus.
In explaining how the proposed
freight rates in Georgia affect the rate
adjustment from Americus, the car
riers call attention to the fact that the
merchandise classes, which affect the
rates on all classes of hardware, gro
ceries, vehicles, beverages, etc, from
Americus, will be substantially re-
duced to a large part of the Georgia
territory. This is true of the rates to
points on the A B. & A. between.
Brunswick and Douglas and between
Tifton and Thomasville including
Moultrie.
The same thing is true of the rates
to stations on the Atlantic Coast Line
between Savannah and Folkston and
between Waycross and Brunswick, the
rates on this line being reduced as
much as 25 cents per hundred pounds
ol first class. Substantially similar re-
ductions prevail to stations on the
Coast Line between Jesup and Valdosta
including Wayeross. Slight reductions
also prevail at yaldosta, Quitman,
Thomasville and Tifton. Quite sub
stantial reductions are proposed TO
Bainbridge and to stations on the Coast
