From the story of the peace
conferences which have terminated
recent wars" says n writer in Lon
don Answers. no general line Of
procedure for the settlement Of the
differences arising out of the world
war can be foreshadowed.
Even military armistice does
not always precede peace parleys.
When Mr. Roosevelt interviewed TO
put an end 10 the Russo Japanese
war. hostilities dragged on for a
long time, while delegates were
journeying TO Portsmouth, u. s. A.
and ii was there arranged that
fighting should cease only when ac-
tual peace treaty was signed.
The most important peace con-
ference was that which settled the
Balkan war The delegates of Tur-
key, Bulgaria, Serbia and Greece
met at St. James Palace, London
and after discussing terms for some
weeks, failed TO agree upon them.
The conference was opened by Sir
Edward Grey, who welcomed the
delegates in speech that was
given 20 the public. but afterwards
negotiations were conducted in pri-
vate
This is the nearest approach -

and it is doubtful whether even
Pres't Wilson's determination to Sc
cure open diplomacy in the future
will be strong enough 10 break

which peace pourparlers have ever
been enveloped.
Although there is the classic in
stance of Bismarcks brutality IN
conducting negotiations with pros
trate France in 1871, the meeting
of the delegates, as a rule. tends to
relax personal hostility. During the
Balkan war peace negotiations in
London we saw the Turkish dele

D|XIE SENATOR'S
 ID SEE WILSON ON COTTON QUESTION
Joint Committee Appointed to Protest Against Fixing
 Price of Raw Cotton.

Washington, Sept. l4.-Senators and representatives from the south ern cotton growing states at confer ences today named a joint committee to protest to President Wilson against the fixing of prices for raw cotton.
 An effort will be made to arrange for a conference at the white house Monday.
 The meetings of the members of congress resulted from the formal an- nouncement yesterday by the presi- dent that basic prices for the various grades of cotton will be fixed if this should be found necessary after the committee to be named by the war in- dustries board has completed it's in- vestigation into the general cotton situation. Cotton broke sharpl on the exchanges today as a result of the presidents announcement but later there was considerable recovery. On the New Orleans market the price fell about $11.50 a bale, or about $1 50 more than the advance early this month after the department of agri- cultures forecast had shown de crease fabout 100000 bales in the yield for the season.
 Senators participating in the con- ference today said there is no author ity for the president or any govern ment agency to fix prices and that this authority could come only from
 congress. They added that congress had no in tention of enacting such legislation. The senate committee is composed of Smith of South Carolina Chairman tSmith of Georgia, Randsell, of Louis. jana, Sheppard of Texas; Simmons o1 North Carolina, and Underwood o1 Alabama.
 On the house committee are Young of Texas, chairman: Wingo of Arkan
 sas; Chandler of Mississippi; Bell o1
 Georgia, and McClintic of Oklahoma.
