FOE DEAF TO TRUTH
OF U. s. PART IN WAR
German Masses Will Not Be.
lieve America Is in on
Big Scale
Special Gable to Epening Public Ledger

The Hague ,Tulv O.

The Hague, July ..
Your correspondent learns from high
source that the campaign to mislead the
German people as to Americas part in
the war has been so persistently car
ried out that the masses now refuse to
believe that the American people are
taking any real part in the war. When
more enlightened individuals try to con-
vince them of the facts. they insist that
President Wilson has forced Americans
to the small accomplishments that are
admitted. and that the latter are really
opposed to war with Germany.
Most Germans still believe that there
are only few thousand Americans in
France, and that these forces are in the
nature of bluff American airplanes
are said to be cheap and poorly made.
The foreign minister's speech is still
causing some comment, but the people
at Essen and in other muntion centers
have paid little attention to it. They
are mostly too ignorant to understand
politics, and their bosses tell them that
the big offensive is coming off and the
war will end soon.
The question of clothes has long since
become serious, but now there is even
difficulty in getting paper garments.
Half the population has been reduced to
wearing them. and the materials used
for making paper are getting very scarce.
The poor are terribly in want of clothes,
and in Wurzburg children have been 60
ing to school without shirts while women
are sometimes unable to go to work for
lack of covering. Out of H. 900 German
shoe factories, only 800 were working in
March. and many of these for the army.
Even wooden soles are luxury nova
days.

FINLAND TO STAY NEUTRAL
Government, However, Has No

Helsingfors, July 8.
The Finnish Government has no in
tention of issuing any new neutrality
proclamation, as has been demanded
from the Entente side, but will, as hith-
erto, maintain a correct neutral atti-
tude.
The. newspaper Hubvadstadsbladet
states that no sensible Ftnlander has
any wish to give up neutrality, and that
there is no real reason for a conflict be-
tween neutral Finland and the Entente
The happenings at Petchorga affect only
Finland and Russia, 1t says, and yet, in
this question. Finland has not been ag-
Gressive, as the Government troops have
not crossed the frontier
Irredentist views, the paper states,
have no support in general opinion. Mil
itary preparations in east Karalen, 1t
naintains, have been made only to de-
fend the eastern frontier.

reluctance the United States took its
place as Il world power" Our
whole instinct has been against be-

no desire to NEEDLE in the affairs Of

had been urged by tho founders Of
our nation to avoid foreign alliances
--"entagling" ones were specified, but
all foreign alliances are "entangling,'
or they are o allianccs--and the ad-
vice fingered in our minds. Added
to this was the fact that We were
sufficient unto ourselves. We had
abundant land. abundant food. and
were able to consume more manu-
featured articles thar we could pro-
ducc. From the first the intent of
the United States was to live quietly
at home. attending to our own affairs
and pursuing happiness in our own
way without hothering our neighbors.

Cotton

Violent fuctr ations took place in the
cotton market yesterday, sharp early
advance being followed by even a
sharper break late in the afternoon.
March contracts sold off from 1925 to
30.S4. closing at the lowest, with the
general list closing at net declines Of
l to 10 points. The early advance was
attributed to the persstency of the de-
mand from both foreign and domestic
trade interests, and the apparent firm
ness of Southern spot markets, while
the new high prices and the appearance
Of selling orders from the South
brought about heavy realizing during
the last hour.
Reports that private returns indi-
Gated ginning of only 1920, 900 bales
prior to January l contributed to the
early advance. There was also talk of
increased exports, as it was said that
the British Shipping Board is now al
lotting the freight room for January.
On the whole, however, the dominating
factors were the strong spot situation
and evidences that both foreign and
domestic spinners were still protecting
themselves against forward needs by
purchases OF contracts at the discounts.
1t seemed to be quite generally as
sumed that all the 30-cent cotton in the
South had been absorbed, and, accord
ing to local spot people, some progress
made in absorbing cotton available
around 301s cents in the interior. The
appearance cf Southern selling here
late in the afternoon directed attention
to the extent of recent advances.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were unchanged to 60 points
higher, with Houston reporting sales
Of 1856 bales et 81 cents and Dallas
11,194 bales at 3o.55 for midding. En-
ports for the day were 1873 bales,
making 2,08l ,674 so far this season,
against 3,107 ,592 last year.
