MARKET NERVOUS,
 PRICES FALL OFF
Early Gain Followed by Break Close is TIP Points Lower French Government Prohibits Further Imports of Cotton.

New York, Sept. 26.-The cotton market was very nervous and unset tied again today with swings of about 60 points in prices. After sell ing at 23.42 early, December advanced to 24.00, but broke to 23.40 and closed at 23.50, with the general list steady at net decline of to 12 points.
 The market was irregular from the start with traders attention divided between bullish weather and crop ad- vices and reactonary impulses de- rived from the extent of recent ad- vices and the gradual increased move ment. Opening prices were 2S points higher to points lower, with near months relatively firm, owing to the small local stock. There was consid- erable Southern selling, also some local pressure and realizing right after the call, but the market soon steadied.
 More optimistic steamers now tied up here may soon be brought into ser vice, and rumors of a bullish crop re- port tomorrow were also circulating on the advance to 24.55 for October and 23.S7 for January or about 33 to 43 points net higher. Offerings then increased and the market broke sharp ly in the late trading on a private cable from Havre reporting that the French government had prohibited further imports of cotton, with Octo- Der selling off to 24.00 and January to 23,24 or 12 to 3Opoints net lower. The close was up from the lowest on cov- ering, and feeling that the action of the French government would prove .only a temporary measure.
 Cotton closed steady.

TRADITIONAL OFFER
 10 QU|T BELGIUM
Germany Ready to Eyacuate and to Contribute to Restoration
 Wants Flanders and Wal Ioon to be Separate States.

London, Sept. 26.-Germany has .urood to evacuate Belgium on cer- .a;r conditions, it is said in German s#.;al statement, according to a dis match from Berne today, given out by inc Wireless Press.
 Germany. it is stipulated, must have .ho rioht to develop her economic en- tarprises freely in Belgium, especially in Antwerp.
 The proposal was made in supple mentary note to the Vatican, replying to the peace initiative of Pope Bene- diet. It was in the form of a verbal communication by Foreign Secretary Kuehlmann to the papal nuncio at Munich.
 The papal nuncio said Germany would contribute a share of the com uensation to be paid to Belgium for war damage. Belgium would be re- 
 ouired to give a guarantee that any such menace as that which threatened Germany in 1914 would in future be excluded.
 Belgium must undertake to main tain administrative separation of the Flanders and Walloon districts intro- dueed by Germany, the verbal note says, because this separation corre- spends to the wishes of a majority of the Belgian people and because Ger many desires such separation on ac- count of racial sympathy.
 4 semi-offcia communication in the German press explaining the new German proposal says the govern neat intentionally avoided stating more clearly the conditions thus out lined. These conditions are said to be compatible with the dignity of Bel gium
 Germany avoided mentioning the question of the throne, because this is Belgian domestic matter. Germany, the communication says, will agree to any government in Belgium which ac- cepts the conditions set forth The principal question is how the guaran- tees can be formulated.

HERoIsM AT HOME.

Only an act of heroism on the part
of two of his comrades saved the life
of David Branham, 10 year old OF
D. G. Branham, from drowning Thurs
day afternoon. The little fellow in
company with Max Alexander, billiard
Bledsoe, George Posner, Herbert Car
penter and Fred Clark had gone
swimming in the lake near the Bledsoe
home, north Of town. Getting enough
of that sport they all got into an old
leaky skif and rowed out into the
lake. When near the middle, the
skiff sank and they all had to swim
ashore. The little Branham boy, who
could not swim but little gave out
and hogan to sink. Max Alexander
and Hillard Bledsoe seized him, how
ever, and, after heroic efforts, in which
they came zeal being drowned, they
finally succeeded in getting the little
Branham boy ashore, after life seemed
to be practically extinct. They then
set about resuscitating him, according
to rules they had learned at school,
and before long had the pleasure of
seeing the little boy revive. Thanks
to the courage and heroic persistence
of these two boys, who are some IA
years of age each, David Branham is
yet living, a pleasure and comfort to
his parents.-Itta Bena Times, End
