How much the people of Holland

 The text Of the German replay fol- lows: ..
 "The undersigned imperial ambas- sador has the honor to make the fol- lowing reply to the highly esteemed note of the royal and imperial foreign minister: ..
 The summons of the Austro-Hun- garian government to all behligerent states to enter into confidential un. binding discussion in a neutral coun- try of the fundamental principles for the conclusion of peace corresponds to the spirit Of peace readiness and con ciliatoTiness which the responsible statesmen of the quadruple alliance and authrized representatives, of the al- lied (Teutonic) peoples have again and again announced The reception which previous similar steps met with from our enemies was not encourag- ing. {.
 ~The imperial government, however, follows the new attempt to bring the world nearer to the just and lasting peace which it desires, with the sin cere and earnest wish that the state ment of the Austro-Hungarian govern ment, inspired by profound concilia- tory feeling and noble humanity, will this time evoke the desired echo.

American troops have discovered German machine gun nests beneath the concrete pedestal of a large cross. The Ger mans had dug in along the center of the foundation and constructed machine gun positions at three places facing toward the French lines. The cemetery is on a hill commanding a view of the country Of the south. and the Germans assumed that if an attack were made the cemetery would not be subjected to artillery fire.
 When the Franco-American off, fensive started the Germans held the machine gun nests in the cem- etery as long as possible, but were compelled to retreat in haste be fore they could use the guns. So hurried was the enemy retire ment that several machine guns were found in the cemetery by the Americans. The cemetery was not hit by shells and the cross still stands

HOLLANDS FAULT THAT HER STEPS
 REMAIN IN PORT
Her Acquiescent Attitude To- ward Germany to Blame for Shipping likeness While People Suffer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The ac, quiesence of The Netherlands govern ment in German threats which kept 100000 tons of Dutch shipping idle in port. while the people of Holland suf. fered for want of the food these yes sels might bring, is commented upon in a statement issued today by the state department to clear up misap prehension as to the attitude of the United States toward exports to Hol- land.
 The department expresses the hope that The Netherlands government will lift the embargo on the movement of it's ships which constitute the only considerable unit of idle neutral ton mage. and in effect gives notice that appeals for American foodstuffs will be in vain until Holland follows the example of the Scandinavian coun- tries, Switzerland and Spain and en ters into equitable agreements with the United States and the allies
 Reviewing the efforts Of the Ameri- can government to lend it's assist ance, the statement discloses that af- ter refusing to approve a tentative understanding reached in London last winter The Netherlands, lowing to the German threat to torpedo even ships sailing between neutral coun- tries. failed to avail itself of the offer of the United States and the allies to permit the export of 100000 tons of bread cereals as an emergency measure In spite of the free licens- ing of bunker coal for ships other than those originally stipulated and which carried 50,O0O tons of cereals to Holland, and additional 50,O0O tons largely in Argentina, has been left untouched for more than six months.

PRESIDENT WILL
 FIX PRICES OF
 COTTON, STATED
Government Will Take Over Control of Distribution of This Years Crop at Fair Price
dBy Review Leased wlre)

WASHINGTON, Sept 20-Presi- dent Wilson will fix the price of cot ton, placing the last of the principal commodities necessary in the prose cutiOn Of the war under government regulation, despite strong pressure from the southern states. In addition to determining the price, the govern ment will take over control of the dis tribution of this years crop
 The decision of the president, an nounced at a conference this week with senators and representatives from the cotton states, became known today Plans to carry out the decis- ion are said to be under way.
 Agitation for the fixing of a price for cotton has been prevalent for a number of months. owing to the rap idly mounting cost of cotton produc- ticn and the belief in many quarters that the staple should be placed on the same basis as wheat and other essentials, the price of which has been fixed.
 The principal factor in the action of the president is understood to have been -kne shortage of the recent crop estimated at between 4,O00OOO and 5,OOO,OOO bales. The price to be named by the president or the means of con trolling distribution have not been de- cided upon. The president is under stood to have emphasized at his re- cent conference that a flair price" would be fixed, but did not indicate in any way what this would be.
 Before fixing prices was first men toned, cotton sold at 3S cents pound. Secretary Houston, it is said, has rec commended that 25 cents would be fair. Southern senators deny this would be fair price and declare that because of the increased cost of production, figure above 30 cents would be named
 In determining a plan for controlling cotton distribution it is understood the president is endeavoring to worl' out a method of cooperation with the British and French governments.
 As the needs of these two govern ments and the United States repre- sents more than 50 per cent of the crop production. it has been pointed out that a price could readily be fixed which would control the world market. Commissions have been appointed by the British and French governments which buy not only for their govern ments but for the private spinners at prices fixed by those commissions Both commissions. it is known, are CO., operating with the president in this matter.
