ALLENBY FIGHTS ON
ARMAGEDDON'S FIELD.

The section of the Holy Land north
of Jerusalem, extending from the
shores of the Mediterranean to the
banks of the Jordan, the scene os
General Allenby's great victory over
the Turks, has been a battle-ground
since the dawn of history.
On this ground Egyptian, Turk,
Roman, Jew, Christian and Moham-
medan have fought for possession Of
the birthplace of the founder o.
Christianity. The land has been held
by the Turks since 1916 when they de-
feated the Mamelukes.
The plain of Esdraelon, traversed
by General Allenby's forces, is the
field of Armageddon of ancient legend,
Nazareth at the northern edge Of
the plain being the town in which
Christ spent his childhood. Beisan,
to the eastward, was an ancient Ro-
man stronghold and contains the re-
mains of an acropolis, theater, num-
erous columns and tombs and Ro-
man bridge.
Acre, on the Mediterranean, where
the British recently landed, was the
objective of Napoleon's campaign in
1895 in his prosecution of the ILL
fated' Egyptian expedition. He cap
tured Jaffa and Lydd but eventually
met with defeat and was forced t,
relinQuish his conquests.
Germany turned her attention to-
ward the Palestine some score of
years ago as part Of the kaiser's am
bilious plans for development in the
direction of Bagdad and the Persian
gulf Rumors were current at that
time of some mysterious ceremony
which attended the kaiser''s, visit to
the Mount of Olives at that time.
Recently General Allenby's forces
have bivouacked around Mary well, in
Nazareth, which is marked by history
as the spring from which Chris
drank as a child.

Senator Smiths Statement.


Washington, Sept. 23.-(By the AS
sociated Press.)-senator Smith, of
South Carolina, today issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The story sent out by the press
on Saturday that at. meeting Tues
day with the President and the South
ern Senators and Representatives that
he (the Presidentl definitely stated
that he would fix the price of cotton
is incorrect. The President made no
such statement at the meeting Tues
day"
Senator Smith is chairman of the
congressional group appointed to dis
cuss the subject with the President
The dispatch to which Senator
Smith refers was founded on infornla-
ton received from participants in tile
conference who reiterated today that
the President made it perfectly clear
to hem that he intended to fix a
fair price for cotton. For obvious rea-
sons they declined TO permit the use
of their names. 1t was agreed, how.
ever, that the President had not def
nitely stated" that he would ok the
price.
Secretary Houston issued this state
ment respecting cotton price fixing:
"a statement concerning cotton
price fixing appeared in Washing
ton paper on Saturday to the effect
that it was understood that Secre-
tary Houston has expressed the opin-
ion that twenty-five cents would be
a fair price for this years cotton
This statement, and any other state
ment that may have been made pur-
porting to represent the view of Sec
retary Houston as to price for
cotton, if any is to be fixed is utter
" without foundation. The Secretary
has expressed no opinion as to price
for cotton
Among the South Carolinians at
tending the meeting of cotton States
advisory board meeting here are Com
missioners of Agriculture A. S. Sum-
mers, B. Harris. the nominee to sue
ceed him, and Editor William Banks,
of the Carolina FARMER.

GOV. MANNING DISCUSSES
COTTON WITH MR.. WILSON,
Also Talks About Labor-Goyernor
and Senator Benet Satisfied Presi-
dent Will be Fair to Cotton Planters

washington, Sept. P.
l. Manning and Senator Christie Ben
ct called on President Wilson this
afternoon. Earlier in the day they
conferred with Chairman Baruch, Of
the war industries board, Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and Acting Sec
retary of War Crowell.
After leaving : the White House
Governor Manning, speaking also for
Senator Benet, indicated the follow
ing: There were two matters bring
ing me to Washington. One is the
cotton question in South Carolina.
"Weehad a long and full talk with
the president on the cotton question.
1 think / can say that the necessity
,of taking up that question arose from
the Importance Of marketing low
grade cotton, and that has been the
chief cause for considering the co.,
ton proposition at this time.
"The President realizes the neces-
sity, under the circumstances of SET
ting the whole. cotton question, in
Guiding price-fxing, promptly. The
action of the President in fixing
prices of other commodities has been
fair, and am confident that ne will
De fair also to the cotton producers
THE other matter, which Senator
Eenet and 1 discussed with the Sec
retary of War, was the supply and dis
tribution of labor to take care of the
governments activities and at the
same time disturb agricultural and in
dustrial requirements in South Garo-
lima as little as possible"
Governor Manning attended the
meeting OF the cotton States advisory
marketing board tonight, as did the
Senators and a number of Represent
atives from sonth Carolina and Other
cotton producing states. K. F. NJ.

PROSPEROUS PROSPERITY
Prosperity, Sept. 23-The Red Cross
rally which was planned as real
membership campaign, held On the
public square of our town, Saturday
afternoon, Sept. 81, was great sue
cess.
An interesting parade beginning at
the public school grounds, continuing
through Main street and across Boyd
street and McNary and back to Main
street, where all gathered for the ad-
dress Of the afternoon, attracted much
attention.
In the parade were numbers of au-
tomobiles filled with those persons
bearing service flags for loved ones
in France or in training in America.
Following these, four floats pre-
sented most impressively to the eyes
of the onlookers Columbia" bearing
her Torch of Liberty for all the world;
the Red Cross Ambulance" equipped
with Red Cross Nurse and physi-
clan ministering to the wounded SOL
diers; Uncle Sam" driving Kaiser
Bill' "On to Berlin; and the desc
late. weary. heartsick Belgian Refu-
gees.
Next came the school children, the
first in their red and white dresses
forming beautiful Red Cross, the
others uniformed as Red Cross nurses
followed in the rear.
A great crowd had gathered on the
public square to hear the address by
DR.. Geo. B. Cronler of Newberry, and
surely everyone went away more de-
termined to do his "bit" to help win
this great struggle for world democ-
racy, and truth and light.
As the crowd was dispensing men,
bers of the Red Cross went about in
the crowd soliciting new members
until 301 new names were added.

Enemy Steel Holdings
Apparent Increase Due to Dis
coveries by Alien Enemy
Property Custodian

The books of the United States Steel
Corporation disclose a substantial in
crease in enemy holdings of the COM
mon and preferred stock. according to
figures issued yesterday Shares of
common held in Austria on June 80
last totalled 1,776, compared with 472
IN March, while Austrian holdings of
the preferred increased from $50
shares to 2,203 during this period.
German holdings showed no change so
FAR as the junior stock was concerned,
hut the number of preferred shares
held by German interests increased
from S76 in March to 1894 at the end
Of June
lnasmuch as trading with the enemy
is prohibited, the increase in enemy
holdings of Steel stock has been due
to the fact that shares not carried
as enemy, owned have been discovered
to be such, and have accordingly been
taken over the by the Custodian of
Alien Enemy Property This made
necessary changes in the record on the
corporations stock books.
At the closing of the books of the
Steel Corporation on May 81 last there
were 63,507 holders of common stock.
compared with 61,o44 three months
previous, 51,CS9 in December and 43,-
342 year ago. The number of hold
ers of preferred stock ut the end of
May was S0,142, compared with SO.363
in February and 1851 in November,
1917.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-13

During the first half of the year
the stock market was subjected to
many adverse developments, such,
for instance, as the German drives,
the rapid curtailment of non-essen-
tial operations, extension of govern
ment control over industry and
prices, and the certainty of new tax
legislation that is bound to cut heav-
ily into industrial profits. All these
things are, in fact, continuing fac
tors and exercise an important in
fluence on the course of prices from
day to day. Yet the average price
OF thirty representative industrial
stocks now stands about ten points
above the level prevailing at the end
of 1917, while the average of twenty
standard rails is up approximately
half as much. This Improvement in
quoted values has not been produced
by speculative activity on the bull
side of the market, for speculation
has been in small volume and has
operated to depress prices quite as
much as to raise them. The only i'm
portant speculative movement so far
this year was Of but brief duration,
and the collapse which followed car
ried prices down to the point at
which they stood before the short
lived boom began. The probabilities
are that the improvement is the re-
suit of quiet but steady accumula-
ton of stocks for investment, extend
ing over a period of several months.
That, at any rate, is theory which
is held by competent observers, and
there is not a little evidence, aside
from the confirmation given by
brokerage houses, tending to show
that it is true. There is, for one
thing, the relative scarcity of stocks,
a condition that recently has caused
rot little comment in the Street.
For another, there is the statement
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, showing that on June. 80 56.2
per cent of it's common stock was
held in the names of individuals,
whereas 53.4 per cent was so held
on December 81 last. 1t is a fair
assumption that this increase, ac-
companied by a corresponding de-
crease in the percentage of stock
held in brokers' names, represents to
a considerable extent buying for in
vestment by those who take long
view and are but little concerned
with the day-to-day fluctuations upon
which the speculator thrives. Such
investors are thinking more of the
things that spell ultimate victory
new records in shipbuilding, the
rapid increase in our forces abroad,
and the like-than of present vexa-
tions, such as taxation on an unprec-
edented scale.
