GENERAL PERsHING ORDER

In line with the policy, both of the administration at Washington and the American army in France. to centralize the activities of relief organizations and to facilitate the very necessary work Of the American Red Cross in searching and caring for American soldiers in French hospitals, General Pershing has issued an order setting forth details of opera tion, according to a late cablegram from Paris.
 General Pershing's order refers to re- ports which indicate that French gen eral headquarters is in receipt of many applications from militarized civilians asking to be permitted 10 visit wounded Americans soldiers who are undergoing treatment in French hospitals: and prefa- tory to the instructions which follow General Pershig refers to the Red Cross as the only relief society authorized by these headquarters to undertake this kind of work"
 In the cablegram transmitting a copy of General Pershigs order, Harvey D. Gibson, American Red Cross commits sioner to France, says: "We are work ing on a very complete and thorough method of organizing France to provide for carrying out this work on a large scale, so that every French hospital will be fully covered. There are about 30 to each of the s departments of Franca France is being divided into nine zones each comprising certain departments Full responsibility for this work will be decentralized to the American Red

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, September 6-It was week of sensational price movements in the cot ton market. The government crop report published on Tuesday morning, pointing to a yield of only Il, 137 600 bales. exclud- ing linter4, was even more bullish than anticipated and was followed by excited general buying. Before the advance was checked, October contracts had sold at S7 25c, CT nearly 10 cents per pound above the low records of last spring. This price attracted heavy realizing in the futures market, while southern spot offerings also increased and reaction followed which became more rapid right after the pub lication of an answer from President Baruch of the war industries board, that committee would be appointed to con- slider the question of controlling distribr. contracts broke to 32S0c on Thursday, making a decline of nearly 41kc per pound from Tuesdays high record aud recoveries during today's trading were not fully maintained
 The character of the trading heer and the news from the south has created an impression among local brokers that early new crop holders will sell willingly around the S5-cent level, but are disposed to withhold their cotton from market on any material decline. This view of the situation promoted rallies during today s trading, when there was also covering by people who had sold on the war indus tries board announcement on Thursday, and whose nervousness of the price fixing talk seemed to have subsided.
 The British shipping board has allotted ocean freight room amounting to 15O, ,1oU bales for October shipment, compared with the September allotment of 16o.ooO bales, which proved something of dis appointment to local bulls, who had been talking, a steady increase in the volume of exports Further rains in the south west have created rather a more optim- istic idea of crop possibilities in that section since the publication of the gov- ernment report, but their effect is ex- pected to depend largely on the date of killing frost.

 The contract now will be offered to all

These conditions, together with the necessity railroa is would have faced for raising wages, ana the difficulty of borrowing money, said Mr. McAdoo, would probably have re- suited in the failure of some of the most important railroad companies in the coun. try to meet their obligations under prI- t-o fa ,,,a
 The fact that railroads now are guaran- teed a fixed net income under federal and are able to borrow from the government for necessary improve ments, the director general said, "are things which impress the great body of railroad investors anh should make them satisfied with the status as it now exists.''
