GERMANY Threw AWAY
ANY CHANCE FOR PEACE

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN. July 3-Theodor Wolff,
editor-in-chief of the Berlin.r Tage-
blatt. writing in his paper characterizes
the German system of government as a
conservative bureaucratic regime, where
parliament may only talk. but has no
voice in affairs and where decisions Of
war and peace are taken in secret with
out any cooperative representatives Of
the people. The reichstag franchise may
be as the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Eel
tung lately asserted the most liberal in
the world. but. says Herr Wolff, this fran
chise is deprived Of value by "a cunning
division of electoral districts. The 1udR-
ment OF the leading German editor, on
German institutions. Is pronounced in the
controversy between President Wilson and
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg, as to
the backwardness and popular irrespon-
sibiIity OF the German system and on all
points
Herr Wolff discussed the advisability of
another program speech by the chancellor
before the reichstag this week, and con-
cludes that unless the chancellor IL pre-
pared to give plain open account of
peace terms or announce the Introduction
OF a parliamentary system he better keep
silent These, the editor Gays. are sole DOS
sibilities OF furthering peace. The gov
eminent and the chauvinists he declares
already have thrown away an excellent
chance of a satisfactory peace. by adopt
ing ruthless submarine policy because
without entrance Of America in the war
France and Italy undoubtedly would have
been far more ready to consider peace.

husband Of Emma, elder sister of Maria
Cocchi. the slayer's wife.

said Baroncini. We propose to fight
for her reputation and hope to bring
her home soon. We are as much
shocked as the Cruger family and Will
do all N our power to punish Cocchi.
When I demanded Of Eocchi, who was
visiting me at Imola. to explain mis-
abandonment CT Maria he lied first, then

This Is too much. I must tell some

Cocchi swore to me he didn't assault
the girl, but this ! do not believe.
though I think the crime unpremedi-

played. They splashed water over each

he was no longer afraid. OF course. he

was and what good time he was hav-

BIGGER CROP OF COTTON
FORECASTED THIS YEAR
Increase Of $4,000 Bales Over 1915,
$4,000 Over 1915, But Less
Than 1914.

Plans of the cotton growers TO pro.
duce this year the largest crop of that
staple ever grown have been frustrated
A crop larger than those of last year
and that preceding 1t probably will be
realized. This years production was
forecast yesterday by the Department
Of Agriculture at 11,633.000 equivalent
500-pound bales. That would be about
$4,000 bales more than produced last
year. and 1000 bales more than the
1915 crop. but It Is 100000 bales less
than the record crop produced three
years ago.
Scarcity of labor. due to emigration
Of negroes to the industrial centers OF
the north by higher wages and to the
entry of young men in the military
service: high prices of food. feed and
fertilizer. and the movement for the
south to feed itself. are the important
effort to produce a record crop. I'm

To those who object to the constant
wearing of overalls by women, which
came into fashion this summer. at the
start Of the war, the quick answer Is that
they are far more decent than the bath
ing suit to which none objects. Let the
women throughout the land wear overalls

good, physically and morally. It will
teach them economy in the right way.
