Cotton Trade Divided
On Yield and Market

". Collier Estes, of New York, writes as
follows: =. 81.
The trade are very much divided in their
ideas of the yield and the course of market.
One faction thinks nature is nj a bounteous
mood and the plentiful yield being coincident
with no means reporting 1t spells very
much lower prices. Another faction holds the
two great cotton growing states, Texas and
Georgia, can only at best make very moderate
crops this season. Texas has never made a
soil moisture aad they believe this year will
large crop IN its third year infestation of wee
vii and they don't think Georgia will be an
exception this year. They believe Alabama
and Mississippi, still being badly weevil in
tested will only have small yields. and that
the month of August will tell the tale TO the
cotton world of moderate crop.
Another faction holds that as W ehAve only
one big crop in four acreage crop Of fifteen
20 sixteen million bales would be taken care

FIRST i. s. MILITARY
FORCE REACHES ITALY
COmbatant Troops to Be Sent
by PerShing-More Amer
leans in France

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Safe arri-
val in Italy of the first contingent Of
the military force which will represent
the United States was announced to-
day by General March, chief of staff.
Sent direct from this country, the
troops landed yesterday, to supplement
Others ordered from France by General
PeTshing.
Sanitary units compose the greater
part of the first arrivals but other
special units also were included. Cen
eral March reiterated the statement that
the bulk of the combatant American
troops going to Italy will be sent from
the western front, their places being
Immediately taken by new regiments
from the United States.
NO definite plan for the increase of
this force from the United States has
been reached" Secretary Baker said
later in commenting on the announce
ment. 1T should be emphasized that
the shipment of further increments de-
ponds largely upon future develop
ments."
Material increase during the past
week in the forces under General Perish
ing was indicated by the official an
nouncement that five American divi-
sions. which had been brigaded with
the British for training, have now been
returned to the American army.
While the actions along the Ameri-
can sectors during the past week have
been entirely local in character, the
chief of staff said the results have
shown that American troops are more
than holding their own, and fine eX-
amples of individual valor have been
reported.
(vqi-hdIsytv bas stone SH SH SHH r
Viewing the military situation as a
whole, General March was of the opin-
ion that the situation was extremely ia
vorable to the allies. He said the Aus
TRAN defeat was extremely valuable
both from military and psychological
sense.
General March had not received Off
cial reports of the British and French
successes on Friday, and therefore with
held any comment. He also refrainad
from announcing the total number OF
men shipped from American embarka-
ton ports to date, but intimated that
a statement might be made later in the
coming week.

north in the region of Mosley, fighting
off two German counter attacks.
Southwest of Scissors, where the
brilliant stroke of last week placed the
French in a strong position on the i'm
portant Laversine pleateau, they moved
ahead again in the center of their new
line. gaining ground by the capture of
strong point north of Coutry. III all
the French took more than 200 prison
ers in these actions.
The British stroke which was also
local operation, was well toward the
southern end of their line, just above
Albert, north of the Somme river An
improvement in the British positions
was effected here and machine guns and
prisoners fell into their hands.
Tension is increasing along the British
front in France as the crescendo OF
the German artillery fire mounts higher
and higher. From Ypres to Rheims the
big guns are buster than they have
been Cor some days, and the Germans
probably are preparing to react strong
ly against the allied nibbling tactics,
which cost them important points last
week.
The German command is known to
have large forces in readiness on the
main battlefields of France. They may
strike anywhere on the 20O-mile main
front, as their communications give
them much elasticity of movement. 1t
expected also that the blow, when
and where it does come, will be the
migitiest the enemy can make.
New French Gains
Unconcerned apparently about the
German plans, the French continue to
perfect their defensive positions be-
tween the Aisne and the Marine, South

they have extended their line and taken
265 prisoners. while north of the forest
100 Germans were taken in a small ad-
vance near st. Pierre Aigle. The enemy
did not react strongly and the French
hold their new positions firmly.
Along the line northwest of Chateau
Thierry, where the Americans hold a
sector, the Germans are reported con-
centrating troops and supplies. Aerial
lighting has been severe near the Amer
lean lines 1t is not unlikely the Ger
mans may plan to give the Americans
a hard blow in payment for the recent
American successes on this front.
Diaz Strengthens Line
West of the Brenta, General Diaz is
preparing for eventualities by strength
ening his line as the opportunity Of
fers. East of Asiago, Italian troops
have reoccupied the height of Monte
di Vilbella, capturing 500 prisoners.
Strong enemy attempts to- retake the
height were hurled back Nearer the
Brenta, the Italians took thirty pris-
oners, gaining fortified point on Sasso
Rosso. Vienna says the Italians were
thrown out of the Austrian first line on
Monte di Valbella and that further at
tempts to advance were checked.
German air raids against Paris con-
tinue, but in three attempts last week
