WHAT ACTUATES
FIXING COTTON PRICES
MOVEMENT FOR INTER-ALLIED
CONTROL POSSIBLE CAUSE.
BRITISH PRICES FIXED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senators
and Representatives from the cotton
producing states, holding that all
movements looking towards stabiliza-
ton necessarily have an effect upon
the price of cotton, and at this time
q depressing effect, have been max
ing strenuous endeavors to induce
Chairman Baruch, of the war indus
tries board to agree to abandon the
idea of appointing any such stabili-
cation investigation committee.
Chairman Baruch has not respond
ed as the senators and representa-
tives expected He has been suave
and polite and all that, but he has
made no promise. He must have some
rea=.n for this refusal to commit
himself, and it is presumable that he
is not acting in opposition to the
presidents wishes.
What is the explanation of Mr..
Baruch's attitude?
We have a right to the we'll known
facts in analyzing the situation. One
of the biggest of the facts is that
Great Britain has fixed the price of
cotton in her own markets. Another
big fact is that there is an inter-allied
council which discusses the important
problems which the allies have to
confront.
1t is by no means unreasonable to
guess that the ups-and-downs of cot
ton on the American markets have
had a tendency to play hob with the
British "fxed price" of the South's
staple, and that the British and 9TH
er members of the inter-allied coun-
ell have appealed to the American
members to get their government to
do something to make the Ameri-
can cotton markets be good" AS no
direct power has been conferred by
congress for fixing cotton prices the
next thing possible is indirect and
approximate control of the market,
which may be fairly well condensed
into the one word, sterilization. There
are various ways of undertaking this
if the executive department of the
government sees fit. The application
of the embargo power is one. Per-
haps the most effective of ALL how
ever, would be an appeal to patriot
ism. The recent request that auto
mobile-users refrain from running
their machines Sundays unless abso-
lutely necessary is working brilliant
ly.
If the representatives of Great
Britain have made an appeal to this
governments war industries board,
on the ground that the British and
continental fixed price of cotton is in
difficulties because of the American
lack of control, Chairman Baruch and
his associates are apt to give the APP
peal very serious and sympathetic
consideration, and it is going to con-
tinue to be hard proposition to get
any promise that they will not take
any steps towards sterilization of the
American market. The factors in the
situation had just as we'll be fully
recognized and understood. Inter-al-
lied control of the prices of raw ma
terials after the war is now being
openly discussed, but the control of
these prices before the war ends,
while not so openly discussed is rel
ly much more imminent possibility.

BABY RUNS AWAY
ON 28O-MILE TRIP
BOARDS TRAIN WHILE PARENTS
HUNT AND HAS TIME OF HER
LIFE UNTIL SENT HOME.

LITTLE ROCK Ark-A happy
couple were Mr.. and Mrs. j. W. Ar
nett when their daughter, May Ar
nett, aged 3, returned from a $50
mile ride that was entirely unpre-
meditated. While May was watching
the telephone poles glide by through
a railroad car coach her parents and
the entire police force were busy
canvassing the city.
After May arrived home Mr.. Ar
nett told the story of the child's ride.
He said that some of the boarders
gave her several pennies with which
to buy candy at store directly across
the street. She left about l o'clock
in the afternoon. Five minutes later
her parents and the boarders were
searching the house for her. Believ-
ing that she had wandered uptown,
several men went up and down the
streets looking for her. The police
were notified, but not until after
Rock Island train had gone west
Baby on Train.
Anyway, the station was the last
place that the parents and police
thought to look for the child. But
late in the afternoon a telegram from
Bonneville, addressed to the chief Of
police, was received. 1t read: "Have
on train No. Al, out of Little Rock,
a 3-year-old girl. Think she was de-
serted. Can't tell where she lives.
Am sending her back to Little Rock
The parents were notified, but
neither the police nor the parents
believed the child could have been
so far away from home, and on a
train. Nevertheless, an hour before
No. Al arrived the anxious and wor-
ried parents were waiting at the
station. hoping that the little girl
would be their daughter May, and at
8 o'clock the night watch of the po-
lice went out provided with a de-
scription of the girl and orders to
keep a close watch for her.
When No. "A arrived at the station
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnett stood at the
iron gate ard watched the detraining
passengers. After watching some
time their hopes almost faded away,
and then they spied their baby IN
the arms of the conductor.
The Time of Her Life.
May was having the time of her
young life. Smiling and jabbering
away to the conductor, she did not
see her parents until Mrs. Arnett call
ed to her.
May had a note pinned to her
dress, pinned there by woman from
Shawnee, Okla, pinned on at Boone
vile before leaving her. 1t read: II
took good care of this little girl, the
best l knew how. l sincerely hope
that she reaches her parents safely.
If so, please write and let me know"
The woman's name and address were
signed to the note. Mr.. Arnett wrote
an answer.
May was bareheaded and barefoot
ed on her trip. No one knows how
the little girl got on the train. She
must have wandered down to the
station, toddled through the iron
gate and crawled up the steps of the
train unseen.

CALHOUN COUNTY BOY, KILLED
IN FRANCE, CITED FOR BRAVERY

Europe, Has Been Posthumously
Decorated for Bravery.

houn county boy and member of COM
pany A, 151st machine gun battalion,

posthumously decorated with the dis
tinguished service cross, by order of
General John j. Pershing, command
er of the American expeditionary
forces, according to a news dispatch

awarding the medal, states that while
under intense fire Private Calhoun
inflicted heavy loss upon the enemy
and materially aided in the advance
of the allied troops, handling his gun
with great GOODNESS and heroism.

Mrs. A. S. Calhoun, who lived at
Morgan until two or three years ago,

HUNS NEXT RUSE
TO SPLIT The ALLIES
EUROPE FOR EUROPEANS p
PREDICTED AS LAST CRY OF
THE WAR LORDS.

WASHINGTON, D. Cit seemed
to be the concensus of opinion in
Washington today that Germany, des-
perate for peace, would not relax her
efforts in that direction despite the
rebuff of the presidents quick re-
fusal to consider the Austrian pro-
posal for an informal conference.
The German papers some time ago
realized America was "war mad"
and, while they were willing that
Austria should send out the impossi-
Die invitation to a secret parley they
frankly admit they had no thought
the move would be successful. In this
respect the German press was far
more pessimistic than an influential
New York newspaper, whose attitude
on the peace proposals created a sem
sation in Washington.
1t is predicted now that having
tested out President Wilson and
found him inflexible, the Germans
will start an intensive propaganda to
win the European allies away from
the United States. Already there has
been an intimation of an effort in this
direction. Europe for the Euro
peans" will be the cry, and every pos
sible ruse will be adopted to create
jealousy in the minds of the French,
the British and the Italians over the
role America is playing and intends
to play in the concluding chapters
of the great war.
Enemy Aims to Split Allies.
The Austrian note itself laid the
foundation for the spread of the new
propaganda. 1t spoke in several places
of the suffering European nations"
and took no account whatever of the
mounting casualty lists of the Amer
lean forces. For a long while Ger
many tried to win France away from
Great Britain by emphasizing the
French losses and belittling England's
effort. Something of the same sort
will now be tried at the expense of
America.
But Germany's effort to separate
the Entente countries from the Unit
ed States will come too late.

NOT A PINK TEA AFFAIR
WITH THIS TITLED WOMAN
An English Duchess Scrubbed the
Floor of Eagle Hut.

Among the many stories drifting
to the United States of army life on
the other side are some that aptly
illustrate the difference between pink
teas and soldering.
A woman, one Of 10000 British
working for the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, was assigned to
scrubbing the London Eagle Hut
floor. She had done little manual
work in her life, but accepted the
job without protest and went down
on her knees with a pail of hot wa
ter, a cloth and a cake of soap. Soon
the water in the pail was black. A
man in uniform passed. The woman
looked up and asked if he would mind
emptying the pail and reflling it with
clean water. There was a theatrical
pause, then this reply:
Dammit, madam, Pm an officerW
This time there was no pause, but
like a flash the scrubwoman retorted ::
Dammit, officer, I'm a duchessw
The United States has 100000
army officers.
