WORLD FACES COTTON
FAMINE. SAYS sen. SMITH

Washington, Aug. 21.-"The world
faces a cotton famine. There is not
enough for America alone"
Senator E ID. Smith, of South Car
DINA, the cotton expert of the senate,
made this statement this afternoon on
the floor. He was replying to a re-
cent statement in the record by Sen
ator Lodge, Of Massachusetts, that
far too much cotton was finding its
way to Germany by way of the neu-
trails, and was being made into Ger
man shells with which to kill Ameri-
can soldiers. The statement came to
Senator Lodge from cotton goods
manufacturers and the Massachusetts
senator had it put in the record.
The milk in the cocoanut is this"
said Senator Smith. "The production
in 1916 was 100000 bales. The
surplus of 1913 and 1914 was used in
the years of 1915 and 1916"
He said with great emphasis that
the neutrals had received in 1916 four
million bales less than in the prewar
years.
THE figures in the record were en-
tlrely wrong and misleading" said the
South Carolinian. "They came from a
suspicious source. They emanated
from the cotton mill centers of New
England. Cotton is high in price. If
an embargo is put upon it's export the
price will drop to American manu-
facturerS.
The senator declared that despite
the fact that cotton was now selling
for % and 27 cents, double any price
since 1869 ,coton mills were making
larger dividends than ever known. He
said he had heard some Southern mills
had made 100 Der cent

WOMAN FINDS HUMAN ARM.

Mrs. Walter f. Conrad, of Lexing-
ton, gazed upon an amputated human
arm last Friday when she opened an
express package thought to contain
cabbage plants. The gruesome find
had no description to indicate from
whose body it had come. The hus-
band, later expressed the conviction
it was the arm Of his son, Raymond
Conrad, and investigation disclosed it
had been shipped from Mercer, Pa.
The name of the sender could not
be deciphered from the way bill.
A few days ago Raymond Conrad
wrote friend here that he was work

Sunday, Aug. 19.-Gen. Petain, COM
mander-in-chief of the French armies,
paid his first visit today to the Amer
lean troops in France and expressed
himself as delighted with what he
saw. Il am exceedingly pleased and
gratified with what | have seen dur
ing this inspection" he said. "Train-
ing has progressed so we'll that I feel
certain the American troops will form
an excellent fighting force in a very
short time"
The French general was accompa-
MED by Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing,
the American commander, and both
left this afternoon for the French
front, where they will remain sew
eral days. They had very busy day,
motoring hundred miles or more
and inspecting almost every village
In which Americans are billeted. In
addition, Gen. Petain held a review
of the famous chasseur division,
which has been training the Ameri-
cans for the last month.
Addressing the officers of this d-
vision, Gen. Petain said they had rem
dered notable service both to
France and America and that their
battalions had become sister bat
italians to the American contingent.
The Americans, he added, had ex-
pressed the hope that some day they
would have the privilege of fighting
alongside their French instructors
and of proving what apt pupils they
can be-
