Fear German
Sales May Break
Cotton Market
u. S. Growers Do Not Want
Trustees to Dispose of
Large Stocks
Many ! Bales Hoarded
Teutons Prepared to Meet
British Competition at
End Of War
Many ! Bales Hoarded
rFrom Tn, Tribune Bureau


Washington, July 30. Fear that the
huge stores Of cotton owned Indirect
ly by the German government and in
storage in the United States will be
taken over by trustees and sold,
thereby breaking the cotton market
and interfering with further German
buying, was expressed TO the Senate
Commerce Committee to-day by eX-
Governor c. D. MCLaud of South Caro-
lima. 80
Under the trading with the enemy
bill, all businesses being conducted by
aliens might be taken over and oper-
ated by trustees, who would hold all
funds thus obtained until the end Of
the war.
The German government began buy
ing cotton in huge quantities and 5tor-
ing il in this country In the fall and
early winter of 1918. The Germans
learned that the English government,
i'm its effort 10 prevent the price OF
cotton from tumbling on the cotton
exchanges following the declaration Of
cotton as contraband, had made large
purchases Of cotton and was holding
It. The famous Dr. Albert, who dl-
reCtCd from New York much OF the
German propaganda, went to a mem
Der of the Federal Reserve Board with
"A complaint about this practice, and
was met by the statement that Ger
many would find herself in a difficult
position when peace came, for peace
would send the price of cotton sky
rocketing, so that the German cotton
mills would have TO buy cotton at 20
or % cents a pound, and then compeete
with British and American mills,
which had laid in stores at TO y
cents. The British buying had been
gradually pushing the price Of cotton
up at that time.
Dr. Albert on that occasion remarked
that the war would be over by the fol-
lowing January which was January,
1915 and Immediately German buying
of cotton began.
According to the Southerners VINO
have protested against the threatened
taking over and public sale OF this
cotton by trustees, the Germans have
been buying a lot more cotton, and not
only are these Southerncrs anxious TO
rrcyent all this cotton from beng
thrown on the market, but they wish
this German buying to continue, for It's
effect on the price of their staple.

The Tribune
Fresh Air Fund

Yesterday was the reason why you
ought to send eOntT button to The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund to-day.
You lived through yesterday, and suf-
fered, and know what a cogent reason
it was for bringing, relief TO any one
who had to endure the heat. But you
know the force of the reason, from
only one point of view-that Of the
well fed, well kept person, around whom
electric fans swept graceful breezes.
To do a little charity IL is worth
while to take little trouble. Will you
take the trouble this morning, while
the remembrance of yesterday is strong
within you, to try TO feel yesterday as
the poor man and his wife and child
felt il?
Driven Into Tenements
In their hot weather stories this
morning the papers will give you the
material for your picture. They will
tell you that in the tenement districts
of the city yesterday the suffering was
intense. They will tell you that during
the middle Of the day the blazing
streets were too hot for human en-
durance and that the people of the
region gasped in their novels; but that
as soon as the decline of the sun east
shadow across the street they hoeked
out to the doorways, the curbs, the
roadways and gasped and sweated there
in crowds so thick that passage WAS
almost impossible.
The papers will tell you Of the wall
ing of babies struggling for life amid
the heat, the crowds, the smells. They
will tell you of children whose play
Jagged and whose energy ebbed as the
mercury in the thermometer mounted
higher and higher They will tell you
of the thousands wno slept last night
on doorsteps, on fire escapes. on roofs.
They will tell you a thousand other
grewsome details to help you get a
picture Of the poor yesterday all of
which you will have been told a hun
dred time before. Probably that's the
only >rouble, the only reason why you
don't get the picture that would make
of yesterday a reason for relieving the
poor; that would compel you to give
to the Fresh Air Fund, and other hot
weather relief agencies, and give again
until not mother or a child remained
within the limits of the city to whom
relief had not been brought.
Appeal to Those In Comfort
/ Will you take a little trouble for
| charitys sake to-day so that some one
may be given relief tomorrow? Will
you spend five minutes trying to imag-
inc what it would mean to you if you
! had to give up your comparative com
/ fort and go down to live in the tene-
ments these broiling days and HAD TO
/ TAKE LITTLE MARY AND JACK
/ WITH YOU?
! It costs about S6 for the Tribune
Fund to give one boy or girl or mother
| two weeks of relief in the country.
| Two thousand boys, girls and mothers
were saved from yesterdays heat in the
! city by Tribune Fund relief-they were
| in the country, out of the slums Will
you add one or two or three or more to
| the number of the rescued to-day?

New Haven, July 30.-lf the number
Of sons given to the service of Uncle
Sam was the same throughout the
country as it is in the family Of Mr..
and Mrs. Patrick Hogan, of S4 Downing

ents of seven husky boys, five of whom

in Portland, Me-; one in Oklahoma, and

Eddie Ssson, who, in the old days before he edited
the Cosmopolitan city editor of the Chicago Tribune,
is George Crees assistant in the Bureau of Public In
formation. Eddie is good judge of reporters and he
saws that Wallace Irwin who the War Department
for the Bureau is of the best reporters he ever saw
Another worker in the Bureau is Old jim McCon-
aughy whom you may recall as Right Cross OF the Even
ing Journal Mac says that his work here is the most
fascinating he ever has been engaged in But consider
ing that he used to do baseball for the Journal often
writing 1000 words about game before the first ball was
pitched that is not easy of credence.
AS to George Creels salary, which there are many
runors about it is exactly nothing year. There is so
much work to do that he gets around to his corre
spondence which is large, until evening. He dictates
from eight o'clock at night until after midnight He is
