Washington.-Th talk OF fixing the
price of cotton and cotton products has
arosued cotton holders throughout the
south TO such pitch that some OF
them hint that the loyalty OF some
cotton people might be dampened IL
any such action is taken. Some dealers
claim that the manufacturers would
tx the price on raw cotton at lower
price than the market price so that
the prices Of manufactured goods can
be lowered without cutting their
profits.
The North Carolina delegation Is
beginning to receive protests from the
cotton men of various callings. J. Al
Ian Taylor, of Wilmington. has asked
Senator Simmons to take up the mat.
ter with the proper authorities. He
said "theagitation for limiting the
price Of raw material as a necessary
means for reducing prices of cotton
goods is absolutely unwarranted."
Senator Simmons took the matter
IN with Vance Mccormick, chairman
of the war trade board.
There is no immediate danger Of
any fixing Of the prices on raw cotton.
The government may fix the price on

The out standing feature of the congress was remarkable, constructive, frank and broad-visioned address of John D, Rockefeller. Jr., on representation in industry. He offers a new creed fol real cooperation of labor and capital and urges that antagonism cease anI industry be developed cn basis thaC labor and capital act as partners iI industry with definite cooperation based on upbuilding, human welfare efficiency in production, justice and a mutual study of the problems of in dustry.
 He states that the successful CO., operation of labor, capital and govern ment in war service points the wa for new era of industry based on unity of action between labor. capita management and the community. H. urges that a bond of common intereo' demands the most just and complete cooperation in facing the great task of readjustment and states that n1 standpat creed will work out that new policies based on brotherhood, justice human welfare and responsible agree ments between employer and employ. must prevail. The address was pune tuated with applause and concluded amid tremendous enthusiasm.
 James A. Farrell, president of the United States Steel corporation, pre- sented a strong plea for combined ef fort to develop the maximum eXpoi
 trade and a convincing argument fol the thorough development of our mer chant marine that our products ma! be carried in our own bottom throughout the world under th,

 Reports received from Coblenz in dicate that the reception there will be essentially the same as at Treves and the scores of smaller towns already Oc- cupied.
 The inhabitants of the zone taken over today received the American troops with the same courteous indif- ference that has characterized the manner of She Germans everywhere, but in Treves and other communities occupied by the first day a change in the attitude of the Germans is becom- ing apparent
 Children gather around the enlisted men and follow the marching troops and eagerly practice the use of the English language whenever the men will listen to our talk to them. Even men and women are weakening from what was an obvious determination to | ignore the Americans. The mayor of one town explained that the people had | expected the same militaristic attitude as they would receive from their own soldiers and perhaps retaliatory meth ods but that when an unassertiye manner was adopted by the Americans it was difficult for the people to keeI up their air of passive hostility.

 Other resolutions adopted urged the speedy return under federal charter to their owners of all railroads now oper- ated by the government. opposed gov ernment ownership and operation of teleSraphs, telephones and cables, ap- pealed for notifications of the Sher- man antitrust law, endorsed the in dustrial creed respecting labor enun- ciated by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., yes terday, and the creation of a central board of war service committees.
 A resolution favoring notifications in the anti trust laws declared that the war has demonstrated that through in dustrial cooperation great economies may be achieved, waste eliminated and efficiency increased. Tt is in the pup lie interest" the resolution stated, that reasonable trade agreements should be entered into. but the failure of the gov ernment to clearly define the dividing 1 line between those agreements which are, and those which are not, in un- reasonable restraint of commerce re- stricts wholesome co-operation and de- prves both industry and the general public of it's benefits"

ID PROVE WILHELM
 RESPONSIBLE FUR WAR

LONDON, Dec. 6.-(British Wireless Service)-Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian premier, declared in a speech yesterday that he intended in a few days to com mence publication of documents of the German foreign office in order to prove that Emperor William was responsible for the war, according to a despatch received here today from Copenhagen Comments on certain documents prov that the kaiser caused the war" Eisner asserted
 Dealing with Eisner's speech the Tageblatt of Berlin says it is true that notations on documents often bore signs of the well known impulsiveness Of the emperor and declares that there ls no doubt the documents are more compromising for the emperor than for those who wrote them
 With reference to the statement by Emperor William to Dr. George Veg weeks Of his stay in Norway during the critical davs of July 1914. he was only informed of events through Norwegian newspapers. the Morgenbladet gives particulars of the ordinary days work Of the emperor at that time.
 The Bergen journalist whose special duty 1t was to report the kaiser's do- ings declared that the kaiser during the lHSt SliN m NOrWeSlan waters was busicr at work on board his yacht than during any other previous year. the newspaper says. His visits ashore were remarkably less frequent and more brief. The telegraphic correspon- dence of the kaiser in those July days was very heavy and he passed several hours daily in wireless communication When the imperial yacht lay in one Of the fjords where the height of the mountains prevented wireless teleg- Taphy a first class torpedo boat ap- peared daily to deliver and receive tel.

WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The nomi- nation of Representative Carter Glass to be secretary of the treasury to succeed William G. McAdoo was con- firmed tonight by the senate without objection.
 MT. Glass immediately will resig from Congress, in which he has served Is years, and will take up his new duties on December 16. MT. McAdoo will continue as director general of railroads until his successor for that position shall have been appointed.

 There is no further statement that I could make at this time which would either interest or enlighten the pub lie" said he.

LEAGUE IF NATIONS
 CONFERENCE B|G
 WORK, SAYS BALF0UR

LONDON, Dec. 6.-(By the. Associ- ated Press )-Arthur J. Balfour, secre- tary of state for foreign affairs, in out lining his views on the peace confer ence today, told the Associated Press that he thought the meeting in Paris this month would be merely informal and preliminary to the conference of the associated governments after the first of the year, which would formu- late all the important terms of the peace agreements. This conference, he added, would be the most important and the longest of the series. When it was finished the enemy countries would be called in to ratify the conclusions reached.
 League of Nations Important The foreign secretary said he be- lieved the question of league of na- tions was the most important work inn posed on the conference. The prom thence MT Wilson has given the sub ject is a valuable contrIpution to civil ization,' he declared.
 T think" continued MT Balfour, "a | league of nations q vital necessity if | this war is to produce all the good we | expect to come out of it. The United l States would have to bear a large share in the work it involves. It should be something more than a mere i instrument to prevent war. The world 1 is more complicated than we are in clined to think. It would be folly to imagine it possible to constitute a world with states endowed with equal powers and rights.
 But 1 wish to say emphatically, in my opinion to devise in concert work able machinery for them Is one of the highest functions the conference can deal with
 T believe @ league of nations will be required to superintend and control not only the criminal ambitions of great autocracies, but to prevent any rash and inconsiderate countries from go- ing to war. It is impossible to talk about democracy except for countries which have reached a relatively ad- ] vanced stage of civilization. A league could be trustee for those less devel- oped. Holding this view, I regard 8 league of nations the greatest work oI the conference
 Russia's Status in Doubt
 Asked if Russia would be repre- sented at the peace conference, MT Balfour replied:
 Tt is hard to define what Russia Ii. now We have no relations with tho bOlshevist government, which is tn, main de factO government in centra European Russia. But there are many other de factO governments
 II think Russia's status will be set tied at the peace conference. I canno conceive that the conference will re gard any Russian government as a present constituted entitled to sen, delegates"
