OTTON PRODUCERS
NEED HAVE NO FEAR

Washington, Oct. 16.-The cotton
'roducer and the fair dealing cot
on trade and cotton goods industry
have nothing to fear from the ac-
tion of the War Industries Board in
providing for an ALLEGATION of cot
ton and an inquiry into the wheel
cotton situation, said Clarence Ous-
~, Assistant Secretary OF Agricul-
turc, in statement yesterday out
lining the reasons for the inquiry.
Mr.. Oulsley said that there has
1ot been from thebeginning nor is
here now any set purpose or desire
o fix cotton prices. 1t has been con-
sidered, he added, only as posi-
BILE necessity, dependent upon the
information to be gathered by the
cotton committee. AS reasons for a
cotton inquiry, Mr.. Ousley said OF
late there have been marked fiuctu-
ations without justifying economic
reasons; that the prices of cotton
goods have been advancing out of
all proportions to the prices of cot
ton; that contract quotations in the
past few months have been out of
all relation with spot quotations and
that it has developed that there is a
rather scant supply of cotton OF the
grade Of middling and an abundance
of low grade cotton on the one hand
and extra staple on the other hand.

INTERNAL POLITICAL

May Determine the Answer of Ger
many to America


many to America
Washington, Oct. 16.-Internal
political conditions in Germany and
possibly in Austria-Hungary as well
as the military situation on the wes-
tern front are expected to determine
the nature and time of the German
reply to President Wilson's commu-
nication of Monday, definitely clos
ing the door to peace negotiations
with German autocracy. The Presi-
dents note probably already has
reached Berlin through the Swiss
foreign Office.
Reports reaching Washington
yesterday through official sources by
way of neutral countries not only
indicated the existence of almost
chaotic conditions in the Central
Powers, but also said that it was
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg him
self who was responsible for the
German government accepting the
Presidents peace terms and seeking
IN immediate armistice.

SENATOR'S UNITE
IN PRAISING NOTE

Washington, Oct. 16.-With una
nimity, Senators and Representa-
tives expressed themselves Monday
night as in thorough accord with the
note off President Wilson in reply
to that of the German Foreign Sec
retary. Senators who, during the
days debate in the Senate, had voic-
ed the fear that the President might
indulge in an attenuated peace par
ley with Germany, conceded that his
attitude was explicit and uncompro-
missing.
The feeling was expressed by Sem
ators and Representatives that the
President had paved the way for the
overthrow of the Hohenzollern dy-
nasty. They liked what they re-
garded as plain, unmistakable
phrasing in this phase of the note.
They voted unhesitating approval of
the Presidents insistence that Ger
many's withdrawal from occupied
territory must be under supervision
of the allied commanders in the
field.
AS diplomatic document, Sena-
tors pronounced the Presidents note
would make it difficult for Germany
to adopt any course except to right
the war through to a finish, which
would mean her ultimate defeat, or
surrender unconditionally.
Among the Senators, who, when
interviewed expressed approval of
the Presidents note was Mr.. Lodge
of Massachusetts, minority leader
and ranking Republican member of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
who had voiced doubt in interviews
and upon the Senate floor that the
President had acted wisely in enter
ing upon what he regarded as nego-
tiations with Germany. In state
ment Mr.. Lodge expressed himself
as genuinely pleased that the Pres
ident takes the ground he does"

Today marks the 25th anniversa-
ry of Bishop Joseph Blount Chesh

Cheshire began his career here, as
Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
North Carolina, the impressive con-
secration ceremonies. having been

fitting to celebrat the quarter cen

Cheshire was born on March 81,

any such ceremonies.

The Germans heavily shelled the
center and left-center of the Amer

The Americans who captured Hill

The Eutente forces in Belgium

fighting with desperation to hold

PRESIDENT MEM
BER COUNCIL
He Votes On Every Important
Question of War. Metz,
Strasburg, Coblentz
M A Y B E H E L D

washington, oct. l6.-PreSldent
Wilson is a member of the Versail-
les Conference or Supreme War
Council of the Allies. He is not on
ly member, but casts vote in all
its decisions. His vote is sent by
cable from Washington.
This important fact was disclosed
Monday for the first time. 1t was
known that General Tasker H. Bliss,
former Chief of Staff of the United
States Army, was the Presidents
military adviser at Versailles, but
it had never been permitted before
to become known that the Presi-
dent himself VAS member of the
council.
Secretary OF War Baker, fresh
from his ,our OF ,..c western battle
front, authorized the statement OF
the President S membership. The
mre fact of this membership means
that the President is consulted di-
rectly every time Il vote is taken by
the War Council and has the oppor-
tunity of casting HIS vote respecting
every decision made by that council,
when it acts on the recommendations
of General Foch and the allied mill
tary leaders in the field.
THE Versailles conference" said
Mr.. Baker, "or tle Supreme War
council so called, consists of the
Prime Minister of England, France,
and Italy, and the President of the
United States. These four have nil.
itary advisers, and General Bliss is
a voting member of hte Board OF
Military Advisers, hut not of the Su-
preme War Council"
Secretary Bakers statement was
made when he was asked to confirm
a statement cabled from abroad to
1.-THE effect that Marshal Foch had
presented to meeting of tn CALLED
War Council lastweek recommends
tion that Metz, Strassburg, and Cob.
lanz, strategic keys to GcGrmany
Ishould be occupied as a conditioa
precedent to the granting OF any az.
mistice with Germany. This session
Of the conference was attended by
Promiers Lloyd George and Clemea
ceau, and Orlando.
President Wilson, as member OF
the council, would have been also
consulted on the taking of such i
vote and if it was true as stated il
a press dispatch from abroad thai
such recommendation were approx
ed at the Versailles Supreme Coun
Gil 1t must be assumed that Presi
dent Wilson would be bound by tha
vote Of approval. When Secretary
Baker was asked to comment on this
particular dispatch yesterday, ht
said:
Il do not want to be quoted upor
the dispatch with regard tothe al
Ileged vote of the military advisers.
1t was almost in the same breatl
that Secretary Baker allowed it t.
become known that the President il
a voting member of the Versailles
conference.
