Wilson Too Busy to
See Southern Senators

WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.--Because Of
other engagements, President Wilson to-
day declined to see committees repre-
senting osuthern senators and repre-
sentatives, which sought an engage
ment for the purpose of protesting
against steps being taken by the gov
eminent looking to the fixing of cotton
prices The committee were appointed
a a conference last Saturday after the
issuance of a statement by the presi-
dent the previous day, announcing that
committee is to be named to investi-
gate the cotton situation and that if
necessary prices would be fixed.
The committee representing the sem
ators held a conference today to out
line plans for their formal protest to
the president. In addition to declaring
there is no authority under the law
TO fix prices, they plan to show the
harm which would result to southern
cotton growers through price fixing. 1t
was also agreed to present the presi-
dent with facts concerning the produc-
ton of cotton together with it's i'm
portance as a world commodity and
the close connection between cotton and
the financial foundation OF this country.

across the late St Mihiel salient. Our
pa trolls now control the area between
the American lines and the Hindenburg
reserve defenses.
The Germans are digging in far TO the
rear, rather than attempting TO dispute,
the American gains effectively.
There was stiff infantry fighting dur
ing the night along the Moselle, where
Americans StoTmcd fortified quarries.
Aerial fighting IS intense. Battle
planes are forcing the Boches to remain
more than five kilometers (about three
miles, behind positions which other
wise would constitute their forward
lines. while reconnaissance and bomb

ate practically undisturbed despite nu-

The number o. German airmen has

positions. Their morale is of the highest

that repeated requests for more ammu-

LEVINE AND TROTSKY
BETRAYED SOCIALIST
FRIENDS FOR KAISER
German Gold and German
Brains Directed Schemes of
Arch Russian TraitOrS-More
Details Given in Expose

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The part
played by the German Imperial bank
in financing the Russian Bolshevik
movement, the care taken by the Ger
man military authorities to prevent
spread among their own people of the
Sccialistic preaching of their Russian
tools, and the plans laid for Germa \
control of Russia economically and fl
nsncialiy during and after the war fea
ture the disclosures in the second in
stallment of the sensational series of
secret documents which the American
government is making public.
Copies of the documents, given out
last night, carry the file numbers of the
Reichbank or of the German general
staff, and in some instances notations
By Lenine or Trotsky, the Bolshevik
leaders. now shown to have been in the
ray of Germany since long before they
overthrow Russia's new democratic gov
erumsnt and virtually turned the coun-
try over to the Teutons. There are il
Illuminating explanatory notes by Edgar
Sisson, of the committee on public IN
formation, who directed the investiga-
ton which resulted in the disclosures.
One of the Reichbank memoranda,
dated last January, announces to the
cnmmissar of foreign affairs (Lenine)
that lily mll1lOu IOuDlGS u SOlu udu
been placed to the credit at Stockholm
If the representatives of the commissar.
TO cover the cost OF Red Guards and
agitation. Another of a few days later
tells of a credit OF 100000 roubles for
the assistant naval commissar in the
Car-east, who is entrusted with the task
II carrying off or destroying the great
American and Japanese stores of war
material al Vladivostok-a scheme that
probably was well under way when the
landing of American and allied 4orces
at Vladivostok ended the sway of the
Bolsheviki there.
A resolution adopted by the German
commercial hanks under the auspices
of the Reichsbank outlines an elabo-
rate program for control of Russia by
Germany and the barring of America
and the allies from the Russian COM
mercial and industrial field after the
war. What happened to this scheme is
not definitely known, but it is suggest
Ell that it may be the subject of one OF
the secret sections of the German Boil
shevik treaty.
How Lenine and Trotsky were be-
traying their Socialist friends along
with Russia is disclosed by a sharp
note 70 Lenine from the Nachrichten
bureau demanding to know what steps
ne would take to make good his per
sonal promise that Socialistic and agI-
rational literature would not be circu-
lated among German troops. Trotsk:'
wrote OH the margin, Il ask to discuss
tt. T"
The concluding document of the in
stallment is a German warning on Jan
uary % to Lenine that unknown agi-
tators were circulating propaganda tell
ing in advance of the plans of the Boil
sheviki to openly surrender to the Ger
mans, as they actually did later.
