BERNE, Nov. % (By The Associated

Killed Holding
Germans at Mar11e
With Lone Private, Lieut..
Savage Died at Machine
Gun, Facing Regiments

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 29.-There is
point on the sacred south bank OF
the Marine, place Of pilgrimage in
days to come, where the thoughts of
Charles C. Savage of this city, turn
with prideful sorrow 1t is where Mr..
Savage's son, First Lieutenant Arthur
V. Savage, a member of the champion
Princeton crew Of 1915, stuck to his
machine gun with lone private as as
slstant in the face Of regiments of
picked grenadiers and guards until he
died at his post, surrounded by the
bodies of his foes.
MIR. Savage has received from Colonel
d, L. Stone, his sons commanding off,
Ger, letter telling of that eventful
July IS, 1918, and of Recommendation
for Distinguished Service Cross for
Lieutenant Savage.
Colonial Stone forwarded to the lieu
tenants father the report of Captain
~. Mel Wolfe, engineer CORPS. The
colonel saws:
There were eleven dead Germans
IN the immediate vicinity and a num-
Der of others not counted near by.
there was evidence that this officer
ana enlisted man had resisted the
crossing of the Germans at this point
very heroically and effectuallv until
they were themselves killed by being
overwhelmed from the rear by num-
bers of the enemy crossing at other
points.
Captain Wales report further
states: You're attention is particularly
invited because this officer and en-
llstea man were among those who so
gallantly held their positions and
effectually broke up the strength of
the German assault at the time of the
attempt to cross the Marne.'
From the foregoing report you will
see the part your son PLAYED in tho
defeat of the Germans. 1t would he
hard to overestimate the value OF the
work he and his companion did. and

Strasbourg Bridge
Across Rhine NolD
Is "No Mans Lund''

STRASBOURG, Nov. 29 (By The
Associated Press).-The bridge over the
Rhine between Strasbourg and Kehl
has become quasi-mysterious spot,
such as attracts persons curious to see
where one thing ends and another be-
gins. Tt-is there now that the French
occupation ends. On the other side Of
it Germany begins again. For the
moment the bridge il. elf Is q sort Of
"No Mans Land" although it Is
guarded with vigilance only on the
French side.
The French sentries are constantly
coming in contact with people from
the French side who want to get the
closest glimpse they can Of the Rhine;
with German soldiers and officers who
want to get across to the other side,
and with the steadily growing line of
people who want to get Off German
and on to French soil.
The bridge and its surroundings give
the impression Of a general spring
moving. Many Of the returning refu
gees are boys just released from ser
them come considerable numbers of
French prisoners Of war.
One special train brought 1900 pris
oners. On leaving their barracks in
East Prussia the Alsatians procured
brgles, with which they sounded French
calls at every station. French soldiers
turned adrift by their guards packed
the train.
Additional soldiers in field gray have
come across the bridge crying: "Vive
la France!" Officers, too, are in the
line, but not all of them are allowed
to pass. First, they must have good
reasons for desiring to cross to French
soil, and they must divest themselves
CT be divested Of their shoulder straps.
One officer turned back because he
would not part with his iron cross.
Another said 1t was beneath the dignity
Of German officer to be "degraded"

Plan to Put American in
Charge of Relief Supplies
Is Considered
Centralized Plan
Is Called Necessary
u. S. Administrator, Now
in Paris, Refuses to Talk
of Proposal

PARIS, Nov. 29.-The appointment o.
Herbert c. Hoover as Director Genera
of Relief, having charge Of the entire
fool and relief administration for the
European Allies and the United States
is under consideration.
1t is understood the offer Of the
position mas been made in behalf OF
the Allies and is favorably regarded
by Mr.. Hoover, though ne announce
ment has been made.
One Head Needed
The general idea of the plan is to
centralize the organization under one
lead so that both the food and tonnage
made available by the various Allies
would be used under one plan to the
best advantage Of each of the Allied
nations.
The Director General would be the
supreme executive head and would
work in conjunction with the existing
inter-Allied maritime, food and finan-
cial commissions, which have head
quarters in London. The present
American representatives on these
commissions are Stevens, Rublee
Crosby and Sheldon.
To Fly One Flag
Part of the plan is that relief ships
forming an extensive inter-Allied re-
lief feet shall fly an inter-Allied flag so
that the countries receiving relief will
feel that it comes from all alike rather
than from any one country.
Mr.. Hoover, after going to Brussels,
will probably go to London, where the
plan will be considered further. His
party includes Robert Taft, son of
the former President, and DR.. AIonzo

New York, Ian. 14.-An irregular oncning was followed by renewed stcadinesS in the cotton market today on covering and continued trade buy ing. Some of thr people who had sold toward the end of last week on the introduction in congress of the bill to restrict trading in futures ap- peared to be among the buyers and there was evidently q feeling around the ring that there was little probabil- ity of drastic legislation. January was l5 points higher at the opening while other months were J to l'} points lower but prives very soon ral- lied and before the end or the first hour were about 12 points net higher with March selling at 31.30 and May at 3O.95. The weather map was con sedcrd favorable and showed somt rain in the Southwest Liverpool re- ported good undertonc especially on the near months.
 There was enough Wall street and Western selling to cause reactions of several points during the second hour but the market firmed up again be- fore midday on continued trade buying and renewed covering. The Western belt forecast for generally fair weather in Texas was doubtless a disappointment to some of the early sellers and stop orders were uncover ed on the advance which carried March up to 31.G2 and May to 3l.24 or about 35 to 45 points net higher.
 After midday the market was less active, but in the absence of any in- crease of offerings, price held firm on the basis of 31.57 for March and 21.24 for May. Southern spot mar ket reports indicated that holders were refusing to make any price con sessions.
 In the trading up to 1 o'clock the advance was widened to 28 points and small buying was sufficient to support the market. ...
