Berlin, Aug. 24, p. m., via London, Aug. 25, 11:35 a. m.-A proclamation containing views of the peace condi- tions which might be imposed by Ger many is published today by "The Inde- pendent Committee for German Peace," an organization formed some time ago by those considered to be the extreme war advocates in Ger many.
 The proclamation asserts that, de- spite the fact that the Germans and their allies are holding three king doms in their hands, the entente still talks of the destruction of the Ger man Empire and entente statesm en continue to indulge in a flood of abuse and lies about Germany, while them selves violating every principle of in- ternational law, forcing neutrals to enter the war against their better judgment, and endeavoring to force into submission, through hunger, mill lions whom their swords could not vanquish.
 Our enemies will not succeed, continues the proclamation. "One thing they have accomplished is to force upon us the realization that England is our special and most dan- gerous enemy. England causes our enemies to stick together. England leads them. Upon England they. de- pend and will depend more after the war. On the wreckage of our empire England hopes to unfurl the banner ot Anglo-Saxon world dominion" Must Annex Territory.

MOHAMMEDANS QUIT TURKS
Grand Sheriff of Mecca Announces Definite Rupture With Powers in COnstantinOple-Rap Germans.

London, Aug. 25, 11:19 8. m.-The grand sheriff of Mecca, chief magis- trae of the Holy City, who announced his independence of Ottoman rule In June and, supported by Arab tribes, captured the Turkish garrison of Mecca and secera1 other cities, has proclaimed a definite rupture between Orthodox Mohammeda and those represented by the Committee of Union and Progress, which now is in power in Turkey. Tn his proclama- ton as forwarded from Cairo by Reu- ter's correspondent, the grand sheriff denounces Enver Pasha, Talaat Bey and Djemal Pasha, Young Turk lead CTS, staunch supporters of Germany and among the most powerful figures in Turkey. Djemal Pasha Is com- n1ander of the Turkish forces in Syria and is reported to have adopted se- were measures to crush the revolution.
 Tho proclamation of the grand sheriff, addressed to "All our Moslem brothers" follows:
 we were one with the governmen until the uniontsts appeared. Since then ruin has overtaken the state, which now has been drawn into this fatal war. We bore with the un1on- ists notwithstanding their depart ure from the precepts of religion, un- til 1t became apparent that Enver Pasha, Djemal Pasha and Talaat Bey absolutely ruled Turkey, doing what ever they plesed. On one day they hanged, twenty-one of the most hon. orable and enlightened Moslems, while children, old men and delicate women | were bereaved of their natural pro- tectors and subjected to foul usage even torture. What stronger proof o1 their faithlessness is needed than the i bombardment of holy, places, such al l Abraham's tomb. and the killing O! ! persons praying within mosque? | "God has opened the way to inde l pendence and freedom for us. Oul | independence Is complete and apso 1ute. Our aim is preservation of Is l lam"

New York, Nov. PA renewal of
yesterdays buying movement caused
an opening advance of 10 to 2S points
IN the cotton market today. Shorts
were particularly active buyers of
near months while there was also a
demand for those positions from xpot
houses probably inspired by the
prompt absorption of Yesterdays
notices and January contracts sold at
20.7z on the cali, or 81 points above
the low level of yesterday and Nav
advanced to 21.06. There was enough
realizing to cause some irregularity
after the call. Liverpool was closed
but the early buying was encouraged
by bullish spot and trade advices.
The market showed Increasing
strength later in the morning. There
appeared to be very few sellers
around the ring and comparatively
small volume of buying sent the
rice up to 21.31 for May or about as
to 40 points net higher The close
was very steady at a net advance of
Is points on August and of 38 to AZ
points on later months.
Cotton closed very steady.
