 Hast of the Cerna we were undis- turbed by the enemy We occupied new positions previously assigned, which we are consolidating.
 "On both sides of Lake Doiran heavy fighting developed, South and west Of Doiran, after an excessively heavy bom- bardment in which the enemy fired 25o,ooo shells, force of three British and two Greek divisions attacked i'll close masses and succeeded in penetrating our ad- vanced positions at several places, but we immediately counter attacked and drove them out at all points, leaving large number of killed and wounded on the field.

State Department Explains Why Holland Does Not
 Send for Food
APPEALS IN VAIN
 TILL SHIPS ARE SENT
Netherlands, Bluffed by German Threat to Sink Vessels, Fails to Take Advantage of Offer of
 Food From United States

Washington, September 20. The acquiescence of the Meth erlands government ill German threats, which keep 100000 tons of Dutch shipping idle in port, while the people of Hol- land suffer for want of the food these vessels might bring, Is commented upon in a statement issued today by the state de partment to clear up misappre- hension as to the attitude of the United States towards ex- ports to Holland
 The department expresses the hope that the Netherlands government will lift the embargo on the movement of its ships,
 which constitute the only considerable unit of idle neutral tonnage, and in ef- feet gives notice that appeals for Amer
 ican foodstuffs will be in vain until Hol- land follows the example of the Scan- dinavian countries, Switzerland and Spain and enters into equitable agreements with the United States and the allies.
 Reviewing the efforts of the American government to lend its assistance, the statement discloses that after refusing to approve a tentative agreement for the ex- portation of enormous quantities of food- stuffs, petroleum, metals and other sup rxlta ;x,I T 1,,r
 Netherlands, lowing to the German threat to torpedo even ships sailing be- tween neutral countries, 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 emer-
 gency measure.
 AFRAID TO SAIL
 In spite of the free licensing of bunker coal for ships other than those originally stipulated and which carried 5O,O00 tons of cereals to Holland, an additional 5000 1 tons, largely in Argentina. has been left untouched for more than six months. The state departments statement in part follows:
 Tt has always been, and still is the desire Of the United States government that the resources of the United States. I insofar as they can be spared from pur- poses essential to the successful prosecu- tion of the war be made available under 1 proper safeguards to neutral countries in order to assist them in the maintenance ] of their economic life.
 nIt has been the hope of this govern 1 ment that an arrangement would be i reached by the war trade board with the Netherlands authorities similar to those 1 reached with other neutrals similarly l situated, whereby imports from the 1 United States to the Netherlands might l be permitted An understanding was, as I is shown. tentatively reached in London I in January of the current year pursuant l to which the United States and the allied 1 governments would have facilitated the 1 import to the Netherlands Of ample amounts of those supplies which were \ judged essential for the economic life of

 Despite strong resistance the British drove the Germans through the ruins of Moeuvres, gaining the cemetery and the line of railway. A considerable part of the enemy held out after the British had got through, but being cut off from re inforcements their position was practi- cally hopeless.

Decision Announced to Sem ators and Represetatives
 of the South
STEPS FORMULATED
 TO CARRY OUT PLAN
Cotton Price-Fixing Agitation Has Been Prevalent for Several Months, Due to the Rising Price of
 Cotton Products

Washington. September 20.
 President Wilson will fix the
 price of cotton, placing the last
 of the principal commodities
 necessary in the prosecution of
 the war under government reg
 ulation, despite strong pressure from the southern states. In
 addition to determining the price, the government will take
 over control of the distribution
 of this years crop.
 The decision of the President definite
 ly announced at conference this week with senators and representatives from the cotton states, became known today. Plans to carry out the decision are said to be under way.
 Agitation for the fixing of q price for cotton has been prevalent for number of months owing to the rapidly mount ing cost of cotton products and the be- lief 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 fac tor in the action of the President is un- derstood to have been the shortage in the present crop estimated at between
 4.0oO.0 .0O0 and 5.ooo,0Oo bales.
 PRICE TO BE FAIR The price to be named by the President or the means of controlling distribution have not been decided upon. The Presi- dent is understood to have emphasized at his recent conference that a flair price" would be fixed, but did not indi- cate in any way what this would be- Before prize fixing was first men, |tiored cotton sold at 3S cents pound. Secretary Houston, it is said, had rec. or nsended that 25 cents would be fair Southern senators deny this would be fair price and declare that because Of the increased cost of production a price above 20 cents should be named. | In determining plan for controlling cotton distribution, it is understood the President is endeavoring to work out a method of cooperation with the British and French governments. As the needs of these two governments and the United States represent more than 5O per cent oe the cotton produced, it has been point ed out that price readily could be fixed which would control the world market. Commissions have been appoint ed by the British and French govern ments which buy not only for their own governments, but for the private spinners at prices fixed by those commissions. Roth commissions, it is known, are now incorporating with the President in this matter.
 WANT QUICK ACTION While opposed to any steps that would result in the fixing of the cotton price, southern senators at conference urged l the President that if he was determined | to take this action, not to delay 1t llerger than possible, declaring that Tn lyiew of the present uncertainty cotton markets are stagnant and many growers ara holding while awaiting some an- nouncen1ent as to the price to be named. No government plan for price fixing has aroused more opposition than to deter

INHABITANTS RETURNING

With the American Army in Lorraine, September 20.-(By the Associated Press. )-Although it is only week since the Franco-American forces de- livered the St Mihiel salient, with its more than 150 square miles. from pos session of the enemy, slender stream of former inhabitants of the section has already begun to flow into the lib erated territory. The stream is a slen- der one because the people who origin ally fled before the German advance have been gone for more than four years and many of them had formed new ties and associations. but every day sees several truck loads of peasants or of dwellers in the towns and villages of the southern section of the salient returning to search for their former homes.
 There are, of course, many towns in the old salient, especially in the south erly portion, which may never receive their original inhabitants again to any extent, While there are many others that cannot yet be rehabitated for military reasons. Well-nigh countless villages are today leveled ruins. Still other places. however, notably St Mihiel, are overjoyed at the deliverance of their home sites
