No Change in Status
Submarine Situation

Washington, November 24.-Revival
of sensational rumors of renewal of
ruthless submarine warfare by Ger
many and consequent action by the
United States were met today by the
statement of officials here that the
situation, while delicate, was abso-
lutely unchanged, and would be until
the United States had gathered all the
evidence on recent attacks.
The state department still is await
ing the result of investigation, and
meanwhile officers reiterate that the
position of the United States, as laid
down in the last correspondence with
Germany, is unchanged.
1t is made clear that severance Of
diplomatic relations would follow any
violation of the pledges from Berlin.
After today's cabinet meeting Sec
Lansing and other members said
there were no new developments in the
submarine situation.
Referring to the reports of an alarm
ing situation, Secretary Lansing au-
thorized this statement:
II do not know the origin of stories
regarding the submarine situation, but
l have the impression that they are
emanating from some source in this
country"
1t was made clear that the situa-
ton was unchanged.

Germany Disavows Sinking
British Hospital Ship

London, November ga virtual dis
avowa1 that a German submarine had
anything to do with the sinking of the
British hospital ship Britannia is con-
tanned in a wireless dispatch from Ber-
lin which reads:
According to the reports so far at
hand, the Britannia was proceeding
from England to Saloniki. For a jour-
ney in this direction the large number
of persons on board was extraordinary
ly striking, and justifies a strong sus-
picion of the misuse of a hospital ship
for transport purposes

Jury in Mississippi Town

Columbus, Miss, November A-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-The grand jury which was impan-
neled for the special term OF circuit court,
which convened last Monday, adjourned
Thursday. having been in session but
four days. Only nine indictments were
returned, and local prohibltionists claim
that the decrease in crime Is largely due
to the law enacted at the last session
of the legislature which limits shipments
of liquor to one quart every two weeks.

sued the Chamber of Commerce of CO.
lumbus and Lowndes county for dam
ages in the sum of $1,000 for having

members of the credit division of the or
ganization, was tried in the circuit court

dict in favor of the defendant. Mr..
Strickland was represented by e. M.
Holmes, while Galloway & Storey ap-
peared for the Chamber of Commerce.

period of several months, the municipal
council has closed a contract with the

IMPROPER GRADING
OF COTTON COSTS
FARMERS MILLIONS

CONTINUED from Page One)
south, farmers, because their cotton was
not properly graded, lost $7,50O,000 in
1854.
ADVICE TO GROWERS
Cotton producers are urged by the de-
partment to familarize themselves with
grades and to insist that proper CLASH
ication be given their bales. Emphasis
is also placed on the economic impor-
lance of securing proper ginning, ade-
quate baling and covering, and proper
storage.
inconsistencies and differences were es-
peeially apparent, the specialists con-
tinue, among the higher grades above
middling. This is most unfortunate. they
state, since it shows failure to recog-
nize the value of improvement of cotton
varieties and in effect puts premium
on careless and Indifferent farming.
The specialists found marked differ
ences in prices paid for cotton of the
same grade in the same market on the
same day Middling of lie inch staple
in certain market brought 10 cents a
pound, while middling of 11s grade staple
on the same day and at the same place
brought only 1905 cents. The latter
should have brought II cent more than
the former. 1t sold for $3.50 per bale
below it's real value.
SELL IN LOTS
The department states that as re-
suit of its investigation, it is able to
state that while differences and incon-
sistencies were everywhere marked, the
farmer east Of the Mississippi Jared bet
ter than the farmer west of the Missis-
sippi. Factors in favor of the east are
believed to have been the direct purchase
by mill owners, existence of good storage
facilities, availability of relatively cheap
money, and the more general knowledge
of grading among farmers, due to
longer establishment of cotton growing
In the section.
The Investigators found that the pro-
Queer received and appreciable advantage
when he was able to make round lott
sales of 10 or more bales at time. 1t
is suggested that still greater advan.
tages can be secured by selling where
possible in lots Of bales of the same
grade.
