HURLEY STATEMENT LEAVES INCORRECT
 |MPRESS|ON-C0LBY
Says Incompleteness of His Quoted Remarks Regard
 ing Organization Likely
 to Be Misunderstood
By Associated Press

Washington, December 27.-Bain- bridge Colby, a member of the ship- ping board, issued a statement to- night saying that dispatches from Paris to the effect that the shipping board had decided to create permanent world organization for the purpose or handling the governments trade fleet gave Ian incorrect impression.
 In issuing his statement MT. Colby explained that he was not taking is- sue with the chairman of the board, Edward N. Hurley, but said he felt that the ineompleteness of MT. Hurley's s quoted remarks made necessary a re- assurance to American shipowners or the governments attitude toward them.
 There are few European ports, MT. Colby's statement said. where the temporary business of the board has redtired a representative on the scene, but we certainly do not wish the American owners of requisitioned ships to get the impression that the ship- ming board Is embarking on perma- nent programme of worldwide ein- ployment for trade purposes of ship ping which we have temporarily re- ouistioned from it's owners for war service.
 '.The period of such service is draw ing to a close, and the board is very desirous of restoring requisitioned ships TO their rightful owners at the earliest nra cticaI moment. The extent of our overseas forces and the programmes or transport and maintenance which are peculiar to this country by reason ot the great distance from home at which our forces are operating, make 1t dif-

Eagles Exceed All the
 Contract Requirements


 Washington, December 27.-Trial of the eagle heats have convinced navy constructors that the little craft turned out by the Ford plant at De- troit to fight submarines are worthy of taking their place as permanent units of the fleet It was learned today that official reports to the navy department giving sfull details or the trials show that in speed. seaworthiness and ma neuvering ability the new boats exceed all contract requirements.
 An average sustained speed of 1s.S knots was made by the boat used by the navy experts in their tests The vessel showed no signs of "buckling under this gait, or when thes peed was forced still higher for short periods It already has been announced that most of the eagles completed under the war contract will be utilized as gunhoats.

DRY AMENDMENT
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL
 DECLARE SPEAKERS

Baltimore December 27.-The feature of today's sessions of the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science was a discussion of the national prohibi> tion" Amendment from constitutional standpoint by Everett P Wheeler. of New York and Seymour c. Loomis of New Haven, Conn. MT. Wheeler said:
 When the constitution of the Unitec States provides for amendment it does not mean revolutionary changes. The prohibition amendment proposes to sub vert the American principles of loeaf self-government. Democrats and federal ists agreed that this was fundamental. We never should have had the union without it. Experience might snow that prohibition did more harm than good. But this amendment would deprive eacn state of the power to change within US own borders.
 ..It would make this change by the vote of sS states, each casting one vote Nevada has population of only le8, i5o vet Its vote would count for as smucn as that of New York, with population or over 100000 To take such a revolu- tionary change on such a. vote IS not democratic.
 Another constitutional objection to the prohibition amendment is this 1t did not pass either house of congress by the vote required by the constitution.
 The future of Russia was discussed oy Perome B. Landfield of the department of state. He pointed out that while con ditions in Russia are very bad they are not hopelessly so, that Russia will event ualiy emerge from the condition or chaos which now prevails and that we caH py nroner co-operation help them to expe- dite the time. when Russia will become settled and stable again

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, December N.-The cotton market has shown a generally firm tone during the past week, with prices mak- ing new high ground, for the movement and with business rather more active than usual at the holiday season.
 There have been comparatively few fea- lures in the news that have attracted any special attention around the ring. The reports from Liverpool that after February there would be no government control of ocean freight rates or tonnage allotments, made favorable Impression on sentiment, however, and there was a lso some bullish comment on reports that restrictions on the cotton trade in Spain had been modified
 These factors probably helped to steady the market during the earlier part of the week when there was considerable real. izing for over Christmas and also some selling for a reaction. Such offerings were well absorbed by a broadening house demand and trade buying while there was no indication of increased spot pressure such as usually develops with the approach of the new year. This was undoubtedly disappointment to sell CTS for a reaction and there was active covering when the market reopened fof business on Thursday, which sent Jan uary contracts up to 3030c, or .5T points above the low level touched early in the month.
 The strength of December was also a factor on the(advance as only few addi- tional notices were issued and the re- maining short interest was forced to pay a premium of 240 to 250 points over Jan uary for their cotton with the price touching 3zc before the final maturit, of the contract.
 Japanese interests were credited with taking up the bulk of the comparatively small amount of cotton actually delivered on the December contracts and there were rumors around the ring that they were long on January.
 No fresh feature has been reported in the dry goods trade so far as immediate demand is concerned, but the tone IS

Even this year President Wilson and England have used diplomatic language. They understand also that there is nothing to do with Germany but to accept her as she is
 NO BAD SENTIMENT
 After thus quoting the Emperor's lan- guage, Prince Albert said
 You afterwards talked at length to convince me you had no bad sentiments toward France or anyone, and you re- marked to me that you might have fallen upon Russia when she was ruined by her war with Japan, and upon France when 300,000 French soldiers were in hospitals. When I answered you that Frances pa cific intentions were shown by the ten- dency to reduce her military forces. you had nothing to say"
 The prince then relates sensational conversation in which the Emperor, pointing to a visiting British squadron visiting Kiel, foresaw the coming of the war.
 The transformation of your mentality became evident to me in June, 1914. when, upon the oecK or the HonenzolerH yaChe at Kiel, you said to me with irritation as you saw the English squadron come to salute you: If they oblige me to make war the world will see what it has never known before
 Your mind seemed touched with a last gleam of foresight as these ferocious views took form. Perhaps you still wished to resist the n1onstrous obsession of those demanding war, for you added :: Upon those ships where English officers are about to laugh and dance with our young women they seem very far from dreaming of making war

 Prince Albert then relates numerous conversations when the Russian Emperor proposed an international court at The Hague. You disclosed to me one day your real thoughts upon this noble move ment in remarking to me with smile that you were happy to participate in the Czar's conferences, but did so by appointing as your delegate the most wig orous German generals Prince Alberts letter continues: 'I recall also that when asked your support for the first in ternational marine congress you referred me to Admiral Von Tirpitz, for whom the soul of. the sailor will never have any respect"
 The prince gives a conversation with the German crown prince as showing his attitude toward The Hague tribunal Talking with the crown prince at his Kreuth residence in Bavaria, compli- mented you on offering to settle the Casablanca affair before The Hague tribunal The heir to the imperial throne answered me that the chancellor had made a mistake in accepting that ar rangement, because said the crown prince, the French are right in that af- fair, but powerful state should never avoid war even when 1t is in the wrong, under penalty of losing it's prestige.
 - In another talk with Emperor William, the prince says, the Emperor remarked that he held the Russian CZar in his hands. In this connection Prince Albert writes:
 \ ..In the series of crimes for which Ger many must bear responsibility, there Is one which will revolt humanity for all times. Nicholas II was incapable Of ly- ing or betraying his allies. He wished to perform his duties. not agreeing with your wishes, although you told me you held him in your hands.
