IN PEACE LEAGUE
Says America Is Not Inter-
eSted in Politics Of EurOpel
but Wants Partnership Of
Right

MANCHESTER, Dec. S0.-(By the
Associated Press. )-Americ3 IS not
interested in European poli,.cs. but
she is interested in a partnership
of right between America and Gu
rope, declared President Wilson IN
receiving the freedom of the city of
Manchester at the Free Trade hall
here today. America is not interest
ed merely in the peace of Europe,
but in the peace of the world, he
added.
IF the future had nothing for Us
but a new attempt 10 keep the world
at the poise by a balance of
power" the president added, the
United States would take no inter.
est in it, because she will join no
combination of power which is not
a. combination of us ALL"
81 wish we could, for the whole
world, enter league and covenant and
declare ourselves the friends of man
kind" the president added.
The president said he was not
hopeful that the individual items OF
the settlement which was about to
be attempted would be altogether
satisfactory.
Gradual Adjustments
"One only has to apply his mind"
he continued, Ito any one of the
questions of boundary, of altered
sovereignty, of racial aspiration to
do something more than conjecture
this. There is no man, no body OF
men who knows just how they ought
to be settled; and yet If We are to
make satisfactory settlements we
must see to it that they are render
ed more and more satisfactory by
subsequent adjustments which is
made possible. We must provide the
machinery for readjustments in order
that we may have the machinery OF
good will and friendship"
There was a feeling of cordial fra
ternity and friendship between Amer
lea and Great Britain, declared the
president, which was based on the
principle of friendship and patriotism
that led men to give more than was
demanded. The partnership of inter-
ests which had attempted the gov
eminent of the world had broken
down, he said, as interest did not
bind men together, but separated
them. Common devotion to the right
was the only thing, he said, that
could bind men together.
In the settlement which is Just
ahead something more difficult than
was ever attempted before had to be
accomplished genuine concert of
min dand purpose, the president said,
but a keen international conscien-
tiousness would make it easy. There
is a great voice of humanity abroad
in the world (which he who can not
hear is dead" he added.
I'VE are not obeying the mandate
of parties or politics." the president
continued. 1--WE are obeying the
mandate of humanity" If the world
is to remain body. of friends, he
said, there must be an easy and con-
stand methods of conference SO that
troubles could be taken when they
were little and not allowed to grow
until they were big.

Mr.. r DICKSON

1t was demonstrated to a full house
at the Lyceum last Sunday morning
that Judge Harris Dickson of Vicks-
burg was as an entertaining and de-
lightful a speaker as he is writer and
those who have enjoyed the "Old Re
liable" stories in the Saturday Even
ing Post know that as a story writer
Judge Dickson ranks with Joel Chan
dler and Thomas Nelson Page. He
went to Europe last spring as awar
correspondent. and he went with the
FIRST troops that Gen. Pershing took
across. He said that he could have
gone on a passenger steamer. but he
wanted to go with these regulars. as
fifty-four of them were Mississippi
boys. and many of them had never be-
fore seen a larger body Of water than
a creek and he was interested in see
ing how they would stand the trip.
lie mentioned the fact that among the
Mlssissippians vas Captain (now
major } Woodward of Brooksville.
Capt. Woodward. by the way. com
manded the company that fired the
first shot from the Americans side.
Two other soldiers from Noxubee
were also present-Lieut. Roger of
Brooksville and a young man named
Turner from Mashulavillc. The lat
ter was slightly wounded this sum
mer.
Judge Harris talk was thoroughly
enjoyed. for he told in a most inter
esting manner the "physicology" of
boys in crossing. but also the life in
the camp and trenches. as well as the
great good that is done in the Wei
fare Work for the boys.
Another feature Of the morning
that was thoroughly enjoyed were
the talks by Prof. and Mrs. McMil-
lin. who spoke Of the Welfare Work.
The latter. especially. demonstrated
the fact that she could talk as well
as she could sing. They addressed

THE COTTON MARK EFT.

The cotton market has suffered
quite a serious decline this week.
Up to this writing il is down about
400 points or about 500 per bale
Monday the American exchanges
were closed in celebration of the
signing Of the armistice terms by
Germany. which. II is generally be-
lieved. means theend of the war.
When the market opened Tuesday
morning the bears started out to
raid the market and Immediately
forced n decline of 200 points. and
would have forced ii down further
but for the government order which
prohibits fluctuations in the market
greater than 200 points in any one
day Wednesday they started their
drive again. but were checked by the
ment:
"ln order to curb undne specula-
tive activity it becomes necessary at
this time to prohibit further spccula
tive short selling on the New Orleans
and the members of these exchanges
are hereby notified that all further
speculative short sales are prohibited
Hedge sales may be made on condi-
ton that an affidavit from a seller
will follow that the sale is a bona
hedge sale against the purchase of
cotton. No selling orders from for
elgn countries. except in liquidation
of long contracts are to be executed.
While this is believed tObe simply
an emergency measure" II would
he n good idea to make sOmthing Of
the kind a permanent law. Say a
law which prohibits any one from
selling future contracts unless he
owns the actual cotton. The price
then would reflect the supply and de-
mand of actual cotton rather than fu
ture contracts
