ANOTHER SMASH IN
THE COTTON MARKET
PRICES DROP EIGHT DOLLARS A
BALE--RUMoRS OF "PRiCE
FIXING" THE CAUSE.
IBy The Associated preaa1

NEW YORK, April Is, - Another
smash occurred in the cotton market
today, prices dropping about eight dol
lars bale. The break was attributed
to renewed repors of "price-fxing" in
the cotton goods trade.
There were reports on the street in
Martinsburg this morning, based on
the predictions of dealers in cotton
goods, which intimated that the Gov
eminent was planning to investigate
the causes of the fluctuation in the
cotton market. Those who spoke of
it this morning said the intention of
the Government was not so much to
fix" the price as to stabilize the mar
ket to a greater degree.

NOT AS GERMANS SIZE US

1t Is gratifying TO hnd that among
leaders Of German public opinion
there is not complete unaninlity in
backing up the governments pro-
gramme of nisrepresenting and un-
discriminating the Americans. Here
and there is German editor intelli-
gent enough to understand the mo-
lives which led this country to enter
The war, and courageous enough to
set them forth, even though this
course aligns him against the policy
Of ofhcialdon there.
Such an editor is Maxirnilian Har-
Den, who conducts the weekly Die
Aukunft. Completely in accord with
ms governments course at the begin
nlng OF the war, approving the viola
don OF Belgian neutrality, and advo-
eating with all other Teutons the rule
OF might, Harden more recently has
seen light. He is now the German
governments bltterest critic. In the
last few months he has praised presi-
dent Wilson highly and told his coun-
trymen that Germany could not hope
sor military victory in this war.
You think that the British and
Americans are such as the conserva-
tive papers represent them" he said
IN a recent issue of his publication.
They proved Themselves to be very
different on the User, at Arras. at
tDormans. They have shed the best
lof their blood, spent hundreds Of thou
sands without dreams Of conquest
simply for their ideals. Does this cor
respond IN any way to the picture that
you have drawn of them1'
The conventional German picture of
an American is that of a gnoney-grub-
Der, who does not desire TO fight and
cannot fight when he has to. Yet. as
Harden pointed out, this country
shedding the Best OF It's blood ana
spending hundreds Of thousands
vastly more than that, in fact, simply
tor It's ideals.
The United States is raising AM
army of 100000. 1t has raised and
spent three big Liberty Loans, and Is
preparing to issue Fourth Loan, FAR
bigger than any of the others, to back
up the huge army with which it in
