 The battle continues to expand. The enemy maintains intact his re- sistance from Stelvio to the Astico but he is vacilliating on the Asiago plateau and is in full retreat along the remainder of the front.

 Our cavalry divisions. having de stroyed the enemy resistance on the Livenza and re-established crossings, are marching toward the Tagliamento.

DEAN WITHDRAWS
FROM RACE FOR
THE U. S. SENATE
WeII-KnoWn Gainesville Law
yer Takes Action on Account
of III Health and on Advice
of Physician

On the advice of his physician, Colonel
Herbert H. Dean, of Gainesville, has re-
tired from the race for the United States
senate.
Colonel Dean issued a formal state
ment Monday morning, announcing his
withdrawal from the contest and thank
ing his friends for the support they
have given him.
Colonel Dean has been in the senate
race for several months. He has been
one of the most active candidates and
one of the most combative opponents of
the present incumbent, United States
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick. His
withdrawal leaves in the race Mr.. Hard
wick, William Schley Howard, William
J. Harris, John r. Cooper and Emmett
Shaw.
Colonel Dean is a promiennt attorney
of Gainesville, recognized throughout
the state for his brilliance at the bar
and a man with many friends who must
read the announcement of his with
drawal with sincere regret
Debate With Hardwick
Before Colonel Dean issued his formal
announcement for the senate he en-
gagged in joint debate with Senator
Hardwick when the latter made the first
speech of his campaign at Carrollton,
Ga. Colonel Deans aggressiveness on
that occasion in questioning Senator
Hardwick's loyalty and meeting his ar
guments was alch that his announce
ment, following shortly thereafter was
not unexpected. Since then Colonel
Dean has waged a vigorous campaign.
He established headquarters in Atlanta
at the Kimball house. perfected a CAM
paign organization and made speeches in
several towns. One of his first acts was
to challenge Senator Hardwick Mr.. Har-
ris and Mr.. Howard to a joint debate.
William Schley Howard was the only
one of the three to accept this chal-
lenge The joint debate between these
two was held in Gainesville, Mr.. Deans
home town, on June %. and attracted
a large crowd from many parts of the
state. This debate was to have been
followed with another in Atlanta, in MI.
Howards own territory. on July 3, last
Friday. However. Mr.. Dean fell i'll with
fever Immediately after the Gainesville
debate and early the following week
wrote Mr.. Howard, cancelling the Attain
ia debate on his physicians advice
Since then his condition has been such
that it has led to his withdrawal. The
announcement of his withdrawal, made
public Monday. is as follows:

er breakdown

Government Will Use
X Cotton Under Middling
Protests by Southern Senators
Brings Change in Fabric
Specifications
BY THEODORE TuLER

WASHINGTON, July S.-Correspond-
ence between Bernard NJ Baruch, chair
man of the war industries board, and
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, shows
that progress is being made in bringing
about a change of government specih-
cations to permit the use of low grades
of cotton.
For some time Senator Hoke Smith,
Senator E. d. Smith, of South Carolina,
and other southern senator's have been
urging a change in specifications on gov
eminent contracts so that the grades OF
cotton below middling might be used.
Original specifications have tended to
hold down the price of the lower grades,
whereas the grades below middling are
just as serviceable for many government
uses.
Chairman Baruch, who heads the chief
purchasing and price-hxinS agency of
the government" informs Senator Hoke
Smith that the desired change is grad
ually coming about.
The letter made public here today
between Senator Smith and Chairman
Baruch is of interest and concern to
all cotton-producing states. The CORE
spondence is as follows:
Hon. Bernard NJ. Baruch, Chairman,
War Industries Board,
Council of National Defense,
Washington, D. c.
My Dear Mr.. Baruch:
II am handing you a copy of a
letter which 1 received from Mr..
Charles J. Brand. chief of the bureau
of markets, department of agricul-
ture.
Il am advised that nearly all gov
eminent contracts for goods pro-
duced from cotton require the cotton
to be middling or above. You will
note from the letter of Mr.. Brand
that the gradations down to good
ordinary below middling have no
reference to length of strength of
fiber. Much of the goods produced
for the United States government.
are not white when finished, and a
discoloration of the cotton, if the
strength and length of fiber is Dre.
served. does not in any way affect
the value Of the cotton for a large
part of the products used by the gov
eminent. Good ordinary cotton
might be much superior for use nv
the government than mfddling cot
ton if the character of the good or
binary as to length of staple and
strength was greater than that Of
middling.
Last years crop had more than
The usual quantity of cotton below
middling.
The effect of the course of the
government is to cause an abnor-
mally high price for tthe goods fur
nished to the government. as the
cotton must be used from a class of
cotton which is relatively scarce.
At the same time. the effect Of cut
ting off from the market the grades
below middling, when the grades are
merely discolored and possess the
necessarily length of fiber and
strength, has lessened the market
for goods of this class and proved
injurious to the public as well as
to the government.
l very much hope that govern
ment contracts may be modified to
meet this situation.
My attention has also been called
to the fact that in the purchase of
cotton linters, a fixed price of 4.67 ,
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1918-07-09

cents has been made at the oil mills.
So far as 1 have heard no distinction
is made in this price based upon
the character of the linters, with
the exception as to extremely light
cuts, which 1 believe are classed as
mattress linters. This has been
done, although / am advised by
men who are experts in linters,
that the real value of linters, even
for explosives, varies to the extent
of cents a pound, due to degree of
waste or cleanliness of the linters
themselves.
l write this letter in no spirit of
criticism, but rather to bring facts
to your attention and through you
to those who handle the subject.
I realize how difficult il is in
the vast field of operations placed
upon your board to always find men
who are really familiar with the
particular commodities dealt with
in ail IF their phases.
Very sincerity yours,
lSigned) HOKE SMITH.
Ny Dear Senator: Your letter of
June % to hand. We are using ev-
cry effort to get the government to
change it's specifications, and are
meeting with success in some re-
spects We have had this matter
in mind for some. time. and have
been working constantly upon it.
ANY assistance that you can give me
in that direction will be much ap-
preclated. 1t viii be of benefit not
alone to the grower. but to the con-
sumner. The general subject of cot
ton is now giving me much concern.
and if not transgressing too much
upon your time, may in the future
consult you concerning it.
In reference to the linters it will
give me great pleasure to have YOU
communicate with Mr.. George l..
James, of Memphis, Tenn. who is
now here in charge Of this subject
for the government. I appreciate
that your letter is not written in the
spirit of criticism, and am always
most pleased to hear from you on
the subject. and trust 7 Will have
the advantages OF your suggestions
and advice At all times.
Very truly yours.
