blamed for the disparity between
prices in the southern markets and
future quotations on the exchanges.
by witnesses who testified at the
government inquiry into the cotton
trade, begun here.
Several brokers told Charles A.
Brand, conducting the investigation
as chief OF the department Of agri-
cultures bureau of markets. that ex-
acting army and navy specifications
have contributed toward highes
prices.
For articles for which in private
trade inferior grades are used with
complete success, the witness said,
the government departments have
required white cotton of the finest
type. Announcing at the investiga-
ton will not be confined to opera
tions of the New York cotton ex-

WASHINGTON. D C.. Mar. 20 Joseph Cotton. head of the food ad ministration's meat division, told tho senate committee which is inyesti gating the nations food supplie' hat the meatless days prescribed by the food administration have not con served the meat supply any more than usual. In the opinion of th' witness. the high price of meat has had the effect of saving more meat than the regulations of the food ad ministration.
 The committee will extend its hearings to cover every branch oi the food administration's activities It is the purpose to determine the visible supply of all foodstuffs and ascertain just how effective the vol rnteer food saving campaign has been throughout the nation. It ie altogether probable that the com mittee will recommend legislation empowering the food administration to enforce it's regulations in house holds If it is found that voluntary conservation will not serve the ends of the government.

 There is much bitterness being shown in The Neither lands the seizure of the ships. This found expression today in the Dutch second house. where bitter speeches made against Great Britain and the United States

Several made the assertion that f1Olland could only ma protection from such aggre sion by casting her lot with the Teutons. Considerable skepticism expressed concerning the hypothetical OO OOO of wheat be secured from the power in for the Dutch vessels and assertions mad, that Holland should put any hope in America for pro- visions but endeavor to obtain wheat from the Ukraine

LABOR LEADERS
 ORDER GENERAL STRIKE> IN. K. (.

KANSAS CITY. Mar. 20-Labor leaders of this city have ordered a general strike. affecting all indus tries and interests, to begin next Monday morning. It is the belief of the leaders that at least 25,000 workers will obey the call on the first day and great number will be out before many days have passed
 The general strike is to be called in sympathy with the strike of laun. dry workers and drivers. These strikers are apparently losing out Their places have been filled with. out serious trouble. and the laun dries are running without much de lay or loss of patronage. The union men are bitter over the employment of scab labor in this industry and will endeavor to win the strike through a general sympathetic strike
 Local interests. alarmed over the latest developments, have appealed to the department of labor to take charge of the situation in order to avert the trouble which a general strike would be sure to produce.

SEATTLE, Mar. 20.-Fred and Lo gan Billingsley returned to this cit tonight to serve sentences for vio lating state and federal prohibition laws. On March 5 last the circui court of appeals denied the appeal of the bootleggers and ruled that they must serve the sentences.

 Following his trial and conviction Logan Billingsley a year ago es capped from the federal detention sta ton and has been a fugitive since that time, returning tonight on his own accord. Fred served ten days on six months sentence and then obtained his liberty on an appeal bond. Ora, the third brother, served a thirty-day jail sentence and was released.

Mar. 20.-The American forces in the Foul sector have turned the Germans own weapon against them and are out-Hunning the Hun During the last four days American artillery men have launched several heavy gas attacks against the Ger man which have apparently been very successful.
 Since the attacks were launched the enemy has been silent. the artil lery bombardment dying away to almost nothing. and enemy snipers have ceased operations altogether for the first time since the American took control of the sector.
 A squadron of German airplanes today circled over the American lines in the Foul sector on two diff ferent occasions, each time drop ping a large number of bombs or balls eighteen inches in diameter These balls were filled with the ob noxious mustard gas. The Ameri cans suffered no i'll effects from the new missiles. as they were pro tected by their masks.
 The German planes circled well abov. the reach of the American anti-aircraft guns and were almost unmolested. in their bombardment American planes rose to attack the enemy, who retired to their own lines without offering to fight.
