With regard to air raids on I'M
fortified cities, the fierce submarine
warfare, the bombar1ment of Paris
and the deportation of women from
the occupied districts to work in
Germany, Frederick said ne had al
ways entirely disagreed with these
policies.
"The air raids on London and other
towns and the big gun used against
Paris were useless militarily, and
liam. "Orders TO ub-commanders
were read differently by various Of

of the war, the eX-crown prince
said that the German general staff
had informed him that Field Mar

1914. making a complete military
survey for future operations; When
it was suggested that the German
staff had done the same thing, Fred

JOHN F. CLARK & co. COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5.-NOthing espe-
ciaI from Liverpool Overnight advices
from New York attributed the rally in fu-
lures the past few days to "A covering de-
mand of the resumed use by railroads of
the export through bill of lading shipment
for cotton, putting in view a rebuying of
hedges as cotton can be faster applied to
foreign commitments, and the news that
foreign governments were in the market for
several lines of cotton goods, but the gen.
eral tenor of advices still shows bearish
opinion prevailing.
Bullsh concession is only made for the
near future which explains the present ten
dency Of increased discount on the distant
positions.
1t is claimed that the large Wall street
and western short interest which was in the
market at the time of the Inauguration of
the selling restrictions by the war indus
tries board, has never had real chance
since to cover. Probably realizing the bet
ter prospects for export demand and outlet
and the excessive discount of near futures
under southern spot prices, shorts are get
ting ont of the near and transferring into
more distant positions. This Of course. will
cause Il condensation of short interest in the
distant and increased technical strength
which on the ultimate settlement and ad-
Justment Is likely to reverse the situation
in favor of premiums.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION IN RHEINISH
PRUSSIA, Dec. S.-(Night.) 1.-The
second lap of the American occupa-
ton of Rheinish Prussia has ended
with the doughboys ten miles nearer
TO the Rhine. They have entered
scores of villages and now occupy a
thousand square miles of German
territory.
The inhabitants of the occupied
territory have displayed merely sui
len Indifference so far. Although the
crowds which watched the Americans
march through Treves and other
towns included many discharged Ger
man soldiers, there have been no
signs of hostility except minor man
ifestatious on the part of children.
These consist mainly i'm making

of children insisted on following the

men.
