Those skeptics whom ask what the United States government has done and is doing in this great war. should visit the Trianon theatre where the first off, cial United States films, "Pershing's Cru saders," are now being shown. He would indeed be carping critic who, after viewing these pictures could find fault. These are the most wonderful of all war pictures exhibited in this country since the commencement of the great struggle for world democracy.
 Nothing before ever shown on the screen has given so good an idea of the
 size of the task on the hands Of the United States government. Not only does one get bird's-eye view of the war as it is now in progress. but also the many activities in connection with the beginning and carrying on the same Drawings and photographs are hrs' thrown on the screen telling the story of Germany's' aggression and character

Official announcement from London that more than 10000 prisoners have been taken in two days of fighting on this front in itself indicates, it is said, that there Is growing Reorganization in the German ranks.
 With this in mind, there was wlde speculation today among officers as to what new development of the battle is to be expected.

Senators to Protest
 Cotton Price Fixing

washington, September 6.-Senators from the cotton growing states, at conference yesterday, decided to protese to the President against any action pv the war industries board looking to the fixing of cotton prices. The senators hope to see the President tomorrow.
 This action resulted from the an nouncement of MT. Baruch of the war industries board that plans are being made to complete commission to in vestigate cotton conditions with a view to making recommendation for the stablization of prices. As soon as the announcement was made public, Sena- otr Smith of South Carolina conferred with MT. Baruch and called a meeting of the senators from cotton producing states.
 The following statement was issued after the conferences:
 Senators representing the cotton growing states held a meeting this aft ernoon and agreed to ask for an im- mediate interview with the President to discuss with him the proposed action of the war industries board looking to the regulation of the price of cotton"
 Senator Smith said arrangements for the meetings are to be made tomor- row and senators hope to visit the White House later in the day

IRON TRADE REVIEW

Cleveland, O., September 6.-(Special) The Iron Trade Review says As the allied line move forward in France. re- doubled efforts are being made to speed up the production of war steel Continued shifting of finishing mill operations is providing more raw steel for shell form shiT plates and other primary needs. Wire nails, already sharply restricted
 may be forced down to 25 per cent op-
 erations. Pipe and merchant bar output ! is being severely cut.
 With free flow of liberal ingot sup- plies, some plate mills are producing beyond their rated capacity. The labor factor has become particularly temper amental, and this question occupied much of the attention of the iron and steel
 makers at the general meeting in New York last week. Any limitation of the work, il is declared, would be disastrous to maximum production and to the wig orous conduct of war. Husbanding of essential supplies. is being brought about by conservation measures and by a strictcr curtaiiment of general consump- ton.
 "A movement launched by tho fleet corporation to standardize vessel types carried witk it a reduction in the sizes ana forms of ship steel sections, which IS expected to result in greater concen- tra tion Of mill production and an in-
 creased output of about 20 per cent Plans continue to be developed to press the fcundrles of the country into making cast shells on a gigantic scale.E For the gov
 ernment 100000 3-inch and 100000 6-inch cast shells are wanted as quickly as possible. and an equal number of similar sizes for more extended delivery for the allies. It is estimated the semi-steel shell orders now in sight will call for approximately 100000 tons pig iron and scrap The humid weather in August was reflected in the figures of pig iron production The output last month was
 2, 3,S92,5 ,576 tons, against 3,40s, ,5S4 tons in July. The record-breaking number of furnaces
 in blast continues to be increased. The total at the end of August was 370, com pared with 964 at the close of July The problem of pig iron supply constantly is becoming more pressing. The commt-
 tee on pig iron, iron ore and lake trans portation accordingly is making com plete study of the possibilities of addi- tional production. Makers are being can- vassed as to any plans now being car- red out or in view for new construction, enlargements, blowing in of idle fur naceS, etc"
