Plan to Move Cotton
 Crop Is Being Studied

Washington, November 16.-Railroad
 men appointed to study methods of mov-
 ing the cotton crop with the least pos-
 sible strain on the railroads announced
 today that the only step which could be
 made effective immediately is to change
 the basis of sales from a unit of 100
 bales to 75 bales. This would permit full
 shipping space.
 The average loading capacity of cars
 is 75 bales and the railroad representa- tives said sales in multiples of 100 bales forced the hauling of less than carload
 lots, and nothing was gained by efficient loading. Already some mills have start ed purchasing in 75-bale lots. The railroad men, members of a com mittee appointed by Council Green; vice president of the Southern railway, by authority of a conference held here under the auspices of the national coun- cil of cotton manufacturers will meet a committee of cotton men, appointed by
 G. H. McFadden, Jr., Philadelphia, here next Friday.
 There have been suggestions that the 1 size of bales be standardized and that 1 great compression be used but the rail- road men believe neither could be eff | fected quickly enough to relieve the pres ent congestion. Congress may be asked l to enact legislation requiring the use oi | a standardized gin box. The railroads | have been urged to penalize oversize bales which are common in Mississippi delta sections where a levee tax is inn posed on each bale grown.

Chattanooga, November 16.-From the tenor of resolutions and addresses of to- days sessions of the United Daughters of the Confectionery, ordinary activities must give way to the more pressing problems of the war for the coming year.

 You all know that thousands of our boys are mobilized for service on the fields of France; that women and chill dren of Belgium and portions of the allied nations are dying of hunger; that today's paper brings new lists of Amer ican soldiers killed or wounded on the firing line. With women and children calling for bread. with our boys calling for Red Cross supplies, I urge that until this war is over the United Daughters of the Confederacy, excepting the educa- tional fund and that for the needs of the women of the sixties, spend it's entire fund for the boys at the front and for the needs of our allies When women and children ask for bread, shall we tell them that we have to build monuments and memorials?"
 Action on all resolutions presented was postponed until tomorrow, when the con vention will adjourn.

Northcliffe's warnings is that concerning the temper of the American nation; that the American people think, and think rightly, that Great Birtain's rulers have muddled the war. This newspaper de- clares the letter, while addressed to the prime minister, is written to the nation and adds:
 of we do not heed it, we shall deserve any fate that may befa1 us.'
 The Pail Mall Gazette says:
 'The present government has been al most a year in office and it will not be too soon for the premier to see whether it cannot be revised in the interests of greater energy and clearer perception of what is meant by war;
 The Westminster Gazette says:
 "Other distinguished men have felt like this, but none of them hitherto has ex- pressed his sentiments in this blunt yer nacular, or made refusal of such high office the occasion for featuring the prime minister on the shortcomings of his administration. Those who make others scrapegoats are always in fear of being scapegoats themselves" :"
