COTTON VALUES
 BREAK FROM S5
 ID S5.5O A BAL1
Selling Wave Follows An nouncement of Govern
 ment Ginning Report.

New Orleans, Dec. s.-The most violent fluctuations of the season and che of the widest declines ever re- corded i. any session of the local mar ket carried the price of cotton at one period today 103 to 113 points, or $5 to $5.5O a bale, below the level of yesterdays close.
 Heavy liquidation of long contracts and terrific hammering by short sell CTS caused the break, which followed the larger census bureau return on ginnings to December 1 than had been expected, and rumor that Greece had declared war on England. The early market was active, and business reached such proportions brokers were unable to keep abreast of the selling orders wired in from all directions. This was the climax of the selling wave, for in the afternoon shorts sought liberal covers to realize their profits, and this demand gave the market a steadier tone, causing par tial recovery. The close was at net loss of 76 to 92 points.

CRURCHES' Dl)1Y $ 70 DEVELOP
 SOCIAl UNatS1
Without Social Unre st There Can Be No Real Pro
 gross, Says Minister.

St. Louis, Dec. 9.-The Southern Presbyterian church threatened to withdraw from the Federal Council of Christian churches, in memorial presented at the quadrennial conven- tion today by Rev. w. s. Jacobs of Houston, Texas.
 The memorial has been adopted by the general assembly of he South ern Presbyterian church and stated that the activities of the federal coun- cil in international matters and in so- called reforms were inconsistent with the object of the federation and sub- versive fthe principles of separa- ton of church and state.
 In presenting the memorial, MT. Jacobs said the activities by the fed eral council in political and social mat ters "placed a stick in the hands of the Roman Catholic church to use on the heads of Professionalism"
 St. Louis, Dec. 8.-That it is the business of the church to develop so- cial unrest was declared by the Rev. Charles Stelzele, field secretary of the Federal Council of Churches in America, at mass meeting held here today in connection with the quadren- nial convention of the council, now in session here.
 "Without social unrest there can be no real progress" said the Rev. Mr.. Stelzele.
 "One need not go far back into the history of the church to find dupli- cated practically everything that we deplore in organized labor, even down to the boycotting and the slugging. Every great reform movement must pass through it's period of hysteria. This applies to the labor movement just as it has applied to the church.
 "No doubt we are justified in de- nouncing the labor union for what ever lawlessness may be practiced by it, but we must give the labor move- ment credit for the good things that it |accomplishes.
 "We must also give the 'boss' a square deal. He is not responsible for present economic conditions any more than the working man is. Under cer- tain circumstances the boss is quite justified in fighting the labor union to a finish"
 Negroes Distrust White Race. An increasing distrust of the white race on the part of the negroes is set forth in the report of the committee on negro churches, presented to the council by Bishop Wilbur Thurkiel of the Methodist Episcopal church. The report emphasize the necessity of leadership or the part of the white churches of the South, and said the negro needed better trained pastors.
 On the part of the negro, the re- port said. there is growing distrust of the religion and sense of the justice of the white man, but the committee expressed the belief that the social conscience of the South is astir. Elf forts for social and economic advance ment of the negro are increasing, the report stated.

Pursuit of Fleeing De- lenders of Rumania by
 Teutons Continues.
FRENCH BATTLESHIP
 WITH 718 MEN LOST
French Minister of Marine Considers If Probable That the Suffren Has Been Sunk With All On Board.
 Serbs Check Three Attacks.
Associated Press Summary

Pursuit or the retreating Russian and Rumanian forces in Eastern Wallachia by Field Marshal von Mackensen continues, but how far the Teutonic advance has progressed. is not made clear in the latest official communications.
 Berlin chronicles the continuation of the advance along the whole front, and Petrograd says the Russians and TRumanians have been retiring since the evacuation of the Rumanian capi- tai, and are endeavoring to reach the line of the Buzeu river, before the Austro-Germans can break through the Moldavian front and get in their rear, or the Bulgarians and Ger mans can cross the Danube around Tchernavoda and outflank them.
 However, there has been little ac- tivity either on the Transylvanian- Moldavian front or in Dobrudja. The Germans have repulsed Russian at- tack in the Tortus valley. and the Russians report the checking of an offensive in the Oitus valley. Petro- grad says all has been calm in the Dobrudja and along the Danube.
 Undeterred apparently by the checking of their offensive in the Carpathians, the Russians again have taken the offensive there, Petrograd states. The present Russian attack is taking place south of Jarovink.
 The repulse of a Russian attack on the Dvina front. below Riga, is also recorded by Berlin.
 Hill No. BOA, in the Verdun region, and the forest of Apremont, south west of San Mihiel, have been the scene of the only reported activity on the western front. Paris claims the Germans were elected from sec ton of the trenches on Hill No. BOA, but Berlin claims that troops of the crown prince repulsed French at tempts to retake the trenches.
 The Germans, Paris records, suc- ceeded in gaining foothold in French trenches in the forest of Apremont, but later were elected.
 Heavy fighting around Struvina. east of Monastir, on the Macedonian front, is recorded by Paris, which says the Servians checked three at tacks by the Germans and Bulgari- ans.
 Snow in the Trentino region and on the Carso is hampering infantry action on the Austro-Italian front
 The loss of the battleship Suffren, with it's complement of 71S men, is considered probable by the French ministers of marine. The Suffren which sailed from Lorient, Brittany, on Mo- vember "A, has not been heard from since.
 The loss of four steamships, two Norwegian, one Greek and one Bel gian, is announced in London, as is also the reported sinking of the British steamer Calidonia, of 9,223 gross tons. The California has been in the service of the British govern ment.

Federation and Brothe.r- hood Men Hope to Defea.;
 Compulsory Arbitration.
CONGRESS WILL GO
 SLOW ON PROGRAM
Aware of LabOr's Opposition to Ccm- puIsOry Arbitration and of Actiyi- lies Toward Framing Agreement
 Congress to Delay Action.

Washington, Dec. 8-Congressiona
 action on President Wilson's railway
 legislation program probably will
 await the result of determined eff its of labor leaders to draft as a sub ;ti-
 ute for all forms of compulsory o'bi- tartion, a plan for dealing with strikes, actual and threatened, which vii be
 agreeable to the employers, employees and the administration.
 The determination of the president to undertake making impossible by law
 such a situation as he faced last Sep tember in the railroad disturbance, has
 aroused all branches of labor to the greatest activity. The unofficial al liance between the American Fedora
 brotherhoods, arranged recently at CT things of opposing dangerous leg
 conferences between representatives of
 both organizations, for the purpose of
 drafting a plan that is intended to
 shelve all compulsory arbitration Hils. Congressional leaders, aware of this
 activity, are inclined to go slow, v on the presidents program, pendin% an-
 nouncement of labor's proposal, pro-
 vided, of course, they are revealed during the present session of con- gress.
 A delay. of even 60 days, house leaders said today, would still leave
 con~ress time to take any action it
 might deem necessary.
 Samuel Gompers, president of the l American Federation of labor, said to-
 night that conferences had taken place
 between the brotherhood and feder-
 ation leaders, but that no concrete plan had been worked out.
 "Organized labor always will op-
 pose any form of compulsory arbi- tration," he asserted. eff a scheme
 satisfactory to the workers is drafted, it is understood it then will be sub
 mitted to representatives of the rail-
 roads and other employers, and to the
 president. Approval of it probably
 would mean that congress, at least, would eliminate the compulsory arbi- tration feature from any legislation enacted"
 Plans approved by the president for the introduction of the railway pro- gram in congress contemplate no new bills. If no substitute plan can be agreed upon. the congressional ma chinery will be ready for rushing the presidents program, in whatever form
 he may desire, to speedy vote. If it should include a compulsory arbi-
 tration feature, organized labor is ex- pected to make the fight of it's life against it.

Louise Homer Will Sing Azucena
With Ellis Opera Company Here
Retailers Association Makes
Further Announcement Of
the First Of It's Great
Concert Course.

Omaha is one Of the nine cities OF
the United States that will have the
Ellis Grand Opera company this fall.
On October 1924, Carmen" will be
the initial offering and III Trovatore"
comes the second night. To bring
this attraction, guarantee has been
assumed by the Associated Retailers
OF Omaha. And yet, the people are at
forded sitting in the auditorium at
less than they would have to pay to
see less distinguished casts Of the
same operas in Chicago and New
York.
The remarkable feature Of the per-
formances to be seen here is that
every one Of the principals is famous
for the particular part in which he
or she is cast. Mankind has seldom
seen a Carmen equal to the interpre-
tation Omaha will see in Geraldine
Farrar. Don Jose has not often been
sung or acted as Lucien Muratore
gives 1t. Clarence Whitehil is un-
equalled as the Torcador. And thus
it is possible to classify each one OF
the principals in Carmen. The same
distinction rest upon the cast for III
Troyatore." This popular opera will
be produced with a cast including
Emma Destin as Leonora, Louise
Homer as Azueena, Morgan King
