UNDER YANK coN1RoL

COBLENZ, Monday, Dec 9, 10 p. m., (By the Associated ss.)-Coblenz tonight is under the complete military control of the Americans, with the municipal authorities cooperating.
 The American forces comprised the second battalion of the 39th infantry which arrived here this afternoon to a request from the German authorities. The reception of the Americans was most friendly The last German troops left Coblenz Sunday morning. There was no trouble of any kind and none is expected. Some citizens of Coblenz said they felt better now that the Americans had arrived.
 The friendly spirit with which the civilians of Coblenz greeted the Amer jeans began to evince itself in the vil- lages along the railroad over which the Americans came to COblenZ. At many places Sunday crowds of chil- dren cheered and waved their hands as the Americans passed. The spirit displayed became more friendly as the Americans approached CoblenZ. When the Americans arrived and detrained in an outlying section Of the city they were met by a large crowd. including municipal officials. Among the others waiting to see the Americans were

manifestations of fear that a heavy burden may fall upon the Rhenish provinces unless they separate from Germany and also of growing animos- ity toward Berlin.
 The Bavarians of PaIatinate in a large majority hostile to any further connection with Prussia. Some of them declare that the Rhine should be the new frontier. There also are suggestions that state-owned property such as the coal fields in the valley of the Saare would pay the share of the Rhenish province of Palatinate in the bill that the allies may present to Germany
 Business men in Saarbruck and SaarelOuis today dwelt upon the ad- vantage of closer commercial relations between the Rhenish provinces and Alsace-Lorraine and France, and did not conceal their |, apprehension of economic disaster if the military oc- cuDation should Obstruct commerce across the Rhine.

"A SPLENDID TONIC '"
Says HixsOn Lady Who, On Doc tors Advice, Took Cardui
 And Is Now We'll.

Hixson. Tenn.-"About 10 years age was. =" says Mrs. J. B. Gadd, of this place. 'I suffered with a pain in my left side, could not sleep at night with this pain, always in the left side...
 My doctor told me to use Cardui. I took one bottle, which helped me and after my baby came, was stronger and better, but the pain was still there.
 at first let it go. but began to get weak and in a rundown condition, so I decided to try some more Cardui, which I did.
 This last Cardui which I took made me much better, in fact, cured me. It has been a number of years, still I have no return of this trouble.
 feel 1t was Cardui that cured me, and I recommend it as a splendid fe- male tonic"
 Don't allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure ly help you, as it has so many thou sands of other women in the past 40 years. Headache, backache, sideache, nervousness, sleeplessness, tired-out feeling, are all signs of womanly trou- ble. Other women get relief by taking Cardui. Why not you? All druggists.

both in Coblenz and iR the fortress across the river. It is estimated that more than 800 trucks will be given up. The total value of the property to be delivered perhaps will run we'll into millions of dollars.
 Here, as at Treves. the Americans are dealing with the de factO author ities. The workmen's council is main taining a commission but the officials found were those who long had been functioning and the Americans are leaving to them the problem of ar ranging their own affairs in the new party's council. As an indication, however. that the determination not to treat with the council will not cause any trouble for the American commits sion. is the receipt of various mes sages signed by Matthias Erzberger, dealing with subjects which the Amer jeans have discussed with the mayor.
 The Americans have not attempted to interfere in any way with local in- stitutions or the manner of life of the people. The inhabitants retire and arise when they please, and permis- sion is even given to those whose busi- ness requires it to cross and re-cross the Rhine at will.

ous nations Of the world and the troublesome questions involved IS known to have been working upon the trouble that has existed in South America since Chile's victory over Peru in 1879. Aa
 The treaty of Ancon, signed in 1883, provided for "a plebiscite in the two provinces of Tacna and Africa in ten years to determine whether the provinces should remain the territory of Chile or become part of Peru. The plebescite has never been held. Peru is said to claim that Chile made i'm possible conditions regarding the plebescite. such as the control of the officials of the election and the rights of all inhabitants in the two provinces to vote. Chile is understood to con tend that she was ready at the ap- pointed time to hold the plebescite, but that Peru refused to agree to it. Chile, accordingly, now claims the question is settled and Tacna and Africa are Chilean territory.

WASHINGTON. Dec l0.-Informa- tion reaching the state department to- day indicated that the situation with respect 10 Chile and Peru growing out of the disputed provinces O. Tacna and Africa, is more hopeful. The United States has urged both countries that every step be taken to preserve amicable relations and it was said that the offer of the Ameri- can government to adjust the dispute was made with a view to preserving peaceful relations throughout the American continent
 Peru has accepted the offer of the United States, but no official word has come from Chile. Officials, ac cordingly, showed great interest in Spress dispatches today from Buenos Aires. saving there is a tendency in Chile to accept the Argentine offer and refuse the tender of gOod offices of the United States.
 It was learned today that President Wilson had gone abroad prepared to meet any query regarding the rela- tions between Chile and Peru. For months the bureau which was devoted to gathering data regarding the vari-

 The battalion is commanded by Lt Col. James Locke, with Maj Fred Hackett second in command. In ad- dition to their rifles and ammunition the soldiers carried full packs con. taining emergency rations and addi- tiOnal food supplies were brought by the train to tide the men over until ration trains arrive.
 When the Americans took up guard of the Coblenz ends of the Rhine bridges, German soldiers were doing sentry duty on the opposite ends. To- night the American sentries along the Rhine could see the lights of the for. tTess of Ehrenbreitstein, which stands on a rocky promontOry 400 feet above the river. where several regiments of German soldiers still are quartered. It is said. that the fortress can accom- modate 100000 men.

COTTON

New Orleans. July 14.-The general tendency in cotton last week was downward. although there were periods of strength. and closing prices showed net losses of AS to SS points. Ths drouth in Texas and fear that the dry weather would extend to other parts of the belt were the main buying fea- | lures. On several occasions shorts cov- cred in large way on reports that the dry weather and high temperatures in Texas were causing serious deterIo ration.
 Larger offerings of new crop cotton in the west increased bearfsh senti- ment. although the offerings were not. in themselves. large enough to exert direct pressure against values The drop of 230 points Tn spot quotations in Dallas Thursday was regarded by many traders as one of the oLtstard- ing features of the week. Locally, spot prices gained 25 points. middling closing 1t 30.25c.
 The weekly weather reports from the government were somewhat better than expected and private bureau re- ports indicated loss in condition ot only about one point since June 25. There was, however. steady criticism of the progress of the crop in Texas and some complaint of deterioration rom cool nlshtS came In rom the eastern belt.
 Tho promise Is for weather mar ket this week unless war news or spot market developments become strong enough to offset the influencs of weather conditions. The report of the death of Won Hlndenburg was a steadying influence on the end of last week and some traders are inclined to look for important news from the cen tral empires in the near future. Other traders believe the dry, hot weather in the westen belt will cause quick opening of the crop and result in a very large movement for this time of the year, which will offset all other influences.
 So far as the weather Is concerned. the bulls would be favored by contiu- ued drouth while rains, especially in Texas, would be with the bear side
