TO PROTEST TO WILSON
 FIXING COTTON PRICES

Washington, Sept. ,. Senators from the cotton growing states at a conference today decided to protest to President Wilson against any action by the War Industries Board looking to the fixing of cotton prices. The senators hope to see the president to- morrow.
 Chairman Baruch of the War Indus tries Board announced yesterday that a committee soon would be appointed with the approval of the president to visit the cotton growing states and inquire into the "advisability and feasibility" of stabilizing cotton prices for the protection of both the producers and consumers and of han ding the crop so that the needs of the United States and the allies could be met.
 The boards decision resulted from the sharp deterioration of the crop in July and August, caused by a severe drouth.

In the first maneuver to the retreat along the Nesle front the Americans and French captured both Bazoches and Fismette. From Bazoches they moved six miles nortliward to Viel- Arcy, while from Fismette they have penetrated more than three miles northward to Baronval, which is only little more than mile south of the Aisne.
 In Flanders the British have taken the town of Ploegsteert and positions southwest of Messines and northeast of Wulverghem, and repulsed strong counter attacks.
 Southeast of Aras all the way down the line to the south of the Somme to Peronne the British have dug more deeply into the enemy's front on various sectors, especially toward Cambrai, and immediately north and south of Peronne. In the latter region they have driven in the enemys read guards for considerable distances.
 The Germans have been violently bombarding the Americans at Fra belle, on the eastern end of the battle front in Lorraine, but have attempt ed no infantry attacks. More than 5000 shells, many of them gas pro- iecties, have been sent into the Amer ican line by the enemy.

ALLIES KEEP AP
 RAPID PROGRESS
 0N ALL FRONTS
Germans Making Rapid Retreat From SOiSsOns to Rheims French Near Ham and Hin- denburg Line in the South.

Washington. Sept 5.-The French and Americans are fast driving the Germans out of their positions in southern Picardy, and in the sector between the Vesle and Aisne rivers So rapid has been the progress of tho alles-the French in. Picardy and the Americans and French from Soissons eastward toward Rheims-that the German retreat has the appearance of the beginning almost of rout.
 In the north, from Peronne to Ypres, the British have been carrying out successful maneuverS which are only in a slightly less degree of rapid ity forcing the Germans everywhere to give ground.
 In the latest fighting from the old Noyon sector to SoisSons the French have reclaimed 30 villages; have crossed the Somme Canal at several points and are only short distance from the important junction of Ham with its roads leading to St. Quentin and LaFere.
 On the south they have made fur ther crossings of the Ailette river and are fast skrting the great wood ed region which acts as barrier to direct attack on Laon, the Chemin des Danes, and the western Aisne de- lenses of the enemy. At the present rate of progress this barrier appar- ently will be overcome soon and the entire salient northwest of Soissons obiiterated.
 Already the French south of Fres- nes, on the fringe of the high forest of Coucy, have penetrated the old Hin denburg line.
 All behind the lines northeast of Noyon great confiagrations are to be seen, particularly around Jussy and LaFere, which apparently indicates that the Germans intend to fall back as fast as they can to the old German lines running southeastward from St. Quentin.
 The French and Americans are hard after the Germans between the Nesle river and the Aisne. For more than eight miles extending from Condo to Viel-Arcy, they have driven the enc my across the Aisne and are standing on the southern bank of the river. Eastward toward Rheims, almost up to the gates of the cathedral city, the German line is falling back north ward At the anchor point of the line in the vicinity of Rheims, however, the Germans seem to be holding, evi- dently realizing that retreat here would necessitate a strengthening ot their line perhaps as far eastward as Verdun.

The Action of the Federal Au- thOrities Sharply Criticised By Standardization Will son Wants Report.

New York, Sept. 5.-It was an- nounced shortly before midnight that Charles F.

Washington. Sept. B. President Wilson late today asked Attorney General Gregory to report to him all the conditions and circumstances sur rounding the so-called stacker round up" in New York this week, in which some 10000 men were taken into GUS tody by agents of the department of justice, the military intelligence and soldiers and sailors.
 The presidents request followed a two hours debate in the senate today in which the action of the federal authorities was severely criticised, particularly by Senators Chamber lain, chairman of the military com mittee, Johnson of California, Sher- man of Illinois, and Calder of New York, and was defended by other sen ators. There was no indication as to the presidents purpose in calling for the facts.
 During the debate in the senate today, Senator Poindexter, of Wash ington, Republican, and Senator Kir- by defended the wholesale arrests, the former declaring that the government should be commended and not de- nounced for seeking out slackers
 Senator Chamberlain said slackers. whom he despised, should be located arrests of thousands of innocent men in order to reach the guilty as had been the case in New York.
 Senator Johnson said the purpose If the authorities was to spread terror and he pleaded for preservation of personal freedom, saying such action as that in New York was to have been expected in a country like Germany, but not in republic like the United States.
