New Orleans, August 21--The tendency in cotton today was to react under the growing conviction on the part of many traders that the market had done it's best for the time being, and on the view that the weekly crop reports from the government were not as unfavorabie as expected. Bearish operations, however, were restricted by fear of a low August condition report and by the marking up of spot quotations here ih drastic way, mddling being raised 125 points to 31.50c. In the contract market fluctuations were more nervous than usual, as well as less decided, although the general tendency was to fall off.
 Around the opening the trading months were F to IS points down on reports of rains in Texas. Before the session was very. old this decline was recovered and prices put to a net advance of about 10 points After government reports at 10 O clock. the market was nervous and narrow, for a considerable period stand- ing at time 12 to 16 points up net, but gradually working lower, until the active months were 29 to 8 points under yes- terday's close.
 The present situation Is very difficult to read regarding the main features. The official crop accounts made it plain that the great deterioration has continued in the western belt, but showers have been most beneficial in some sections east of the Mississippi river. An easier spot market is reported by some Texas firms and the same claim is beginning to come from the Atlantics, yet locally spots are strong. The reaction may be carried fur theYjn the absence of new bulliSh devei- onments. but eventually the market will riiobably meet new buying movement of importance. Shepherd & Gluck.

LONDON, Nov. IS, British Wire less Service. )-king George on the signing of the armistice sent a mes sage of congratulations to President Wilson and thanks to the people of the United States for their aid in the war. President Wilson cabled a reply of warm appreciation.
 The kings message follows:
 At this moment of universal glad ness I send you, Mir. President, and the people of your great republic a message of congratulation and deep thanks in my own name and that of the people of this empire.
 It IS indeed a matter of solemn thanksgiving that the peoples of our two countries. akin in spirits as in speech. should today be united in this greatest of democracy's achievements. | thank you and the people of the Uni ted States for the high and noble part which you have played in this glorious chapter of history and freedom"
 President Wilson's cablegram said:
 Your generous and graceous mes sage is most warmly appreciated and you may rest assured that our hearts on thls side of the Atlantic are the more completely filled with joy and satisfaction because we know the great partnership of interests and of sentiments to which we belong
 "We are happy to be associated m this time of triumph with the govern ment and people on whom we are so sure we can count for cooperation in the delicate and difficult tasks which remain to be performed in order that the high purposes of the war may be realized and established in the reign of equitable justice and lasting peace.

DoILars For DOughnuts

The dollars you give in the united war work campaign may be spent for dough nuts; a part of them surely will be invested in the festive 'floater" You may say it could be better spent.
 Take the case of Mrs. Edith Knowles of Phoenix, Arizona, for many years an intimate friend of the queen of Rumania, Enguist, acquainted with every nook and corner of Europe, for several years past resident of this state, now in France. She was one of the first American women to be sent overseas for r. M C. A. canteen work. She has been on nearly every front Tn France and Belgium, and she has worked in many huts. A few days ago she was mentioned in dispatches for bravery at the front.
 Mrs. Knowles spent her days and nights making doughnuts. With two other wo- men, unmindful of danger, she works in the front line trenches. Each day these three women turn out 10000 doughnuts- ''sinkers'' for the privates. She could spend her time in huts to the rear of the guns and gas and flames; but she prefers to be near the front where she can be of great est aid in cheering the men.
 Mrs. Knowles knows that the nearest way to mans heart is through his stom- ach.
 Mrs. Knowles fries doughnuts for doughboys, and the dollars you give for the united war work campaign will assist Mrs. Knowles reach the hearts of more Ameri- can soldiers
 Give your dollars for doughnuts.

REHABILITATION OF OUR WOUNDED

The United States government is re- solved to do its best to restore every wounded American soldier and sailor to health, strength and self-supporting activ- ity.
 Until his discharge from the hospital, all the medical and surgical treatment neces- sary to restore him to health is under the jurisdiction of the military or naval auth critics, according to the branch of the serv- ice he IS in The vocational training the reeducation and rehabilitation necessary to restore him to self-supporting activity, is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Board of vocational education.
 If he needs an artificial limb or me chanical appliance the government will Supply it free, will keep it in repair, and re- new it when necessary. If after his dis charge he again needs medical treatment on account of his disability, the govern ment will supply it free. While he IS in the hospital and while in training afterwards the soldier ot sailor will receive compensa- ton as if in service and his family or de- pendents will receive their allotment.
 A wounded soldier or sailor, although his disability does not prevent him from returning to employment without training. can take course of vocational training free of cost and the compensation provided by the war risk insurance act will be paid to him and the training will be free, but no allotment will be paid to his family.
 Every Liberty bond holder who holds his bond is keeping up part of this great work of restoring to health, strength and useful ness the men who have suffered for their country.

 The election of Thomas E. Campbell, the republican candidate for governor, ap- pears to be borne out by the fastest reports emanating from Phoenix The claims of the democratic state committee on behalf of Fred T. Golfer, the democratic candl- date, have abated, until the figures repre- senting the committee s estimate ot Col ter's plurality are approaching the vanish ing point, and 1t Is now generally believed that the official canvass of votes cast throughout the state in the election last Tuesday will confirm Mr. Campbells cleo ton by substantial plurality, leaving no grounds for a contest.
 The belief still widely maintains that Mir. Campbell was fairly elected two years ago. as the official canvass of the vote showed, and afterward confirmed by the superior court of Maricopa county, notwithstanding the final decision by the supreme court seating Hunt, rendered nearly eleven months after Governor Campbell was elected in 1916 brought to his support last Tuesday many independent voters. Several other factors contributed to the result of the late election, any one of which should have been sufficient to have caused the defeat of Mir. Colter.
 Mir Colter as member of the third leg islature which increased the salary of the governor, was ineligible to election by req soh of the prohibitive clause in the state constitution, which he and his advisers ig- nored. Also, he had affiliated with the Hunt faction and was naturally recognized as the Hunt candidate; and finally, the disclosures in the trial of the Breen libel suit, in which Governor Hunt by his own testimony admitted his association with and sympathy for members of the l, w. w.. and another enemy of the government under indictment caused many reputable citizens to desert Golfer and support Camp bell in an effort to rid Arizona of Hunt- ism, which for six years has disgraced the state.
 yThese are, in the main, the reasons for Mir. Campbell's election, which was affect ed by the votes of conservative democrats and independents, of which Gila county was by for the largest contributor of all the

GERMANY IS APPREHENsIVE.
CBy Review Leased wIrea

AMSTERDAM. Nov. 13.-Comments by German bourgeois newspapers re- ceived here disclose apprehension of the socialist gOyerRment decision to postpone indefinitely the summoning of a constituent assembly. The Tage- blatt admits that the majority social ists probably are wise in excluding the non-socialists from the govern ment. but say the proclamation of a national assembly leaves open wheth- CT Germany is to tread the road of democracy or of dictatorship.
 The Hamburg Fremdenblatt's Der lin correspondent says that whether the majority or the minority is to rule in Germany depends on the en- ergy of a few men and that while the majority socialists feel that only a dictatorship is possible for ruling during the transition period. they hon estly desire that it shall remain in power only until the national as- sembly in truly democratic man ner decides the future of the German people
