provincial deputation of Barcelona re- questing the government to Set apart large tracts of land for experiments in cotton raising, to provide seed of various varieties at half price, ma- chinery, materials, and necessary gin- neries. Government astronomical en- gineers were requested to direct the experiments, and exemption from tax ation was recommended, as well as reduced railway freight and a guar antee to refund any difference if pro- ducers should have to sell the cotton raised at les sthan S0225 per kilo (2.2 pounds).
 "According to statements publish ed by La Liza Agraria, next year a small crop of cotton will be available from irrigated lands in the Provinces of Castellon, Malaga, Cadiz, and Se- vile. The plantations cover about 12,355 acres. No pains have been spared to make this experiment a success. The seed was selected with great care and furnished gratuitous- ly to the cultivators; funds for the purchase of fertilizers and other ex- penses of cultivation being advanced where necessary. It is expected that the crop will amount to about 5000 tons, and it is stated that in regions where climatic conditions favor the cultivation of cotton there are at

Rumanian King
 Works at Orders
 of American Girls

Cibiu, Rumania, Sept. } (By maiD The picture of a king, with linen duster covering his uniform, ladling out soup and sugar to his hungry people is one that will live long in the memories of the girls on duty at the American Red Cross supply de- pot here.
 It was a busy afternoon, for the crowd of peasants seeking food was unusually large and the small num- Der of American girls were hard put to it to keep the line moving. The heat was intense and the little group of workers who had been on their feet for hours seemed about to col lapse when suddenly from the door way came a mans voice saying: q am ready for work, girls. What can you give me to do?"
 Bent over a barrel of cocoa, Miss Ruby M. Applebee of Minneapolis strengthened up to see from whom had come this offer of much needed aid and beheld before her King Fer dinand of Rumania, who by this time had advanced into the room.
 Kings meant little than when hung " people were to be fed. so Miss Ap- plebee suggested that the king first try his hand at the salmon and jam But the king as distributing agent for the American Red Cross almost wrecked the proceedings, for his sub jects could not quite grasp the idea

 Encouragement of Cotton Cultivation. "A company which has been form ed for the cultivation of cotton in Spain has purchased PATIO acres and has an option on 37066 more, on the !sla Mayor del Guadalquivir, and if its experiments in cotton growing prove successful, more land in the Province of Jaen, Malaga. and Cor doba will be acquired The land is being distributed to colonizers, who are helped in securing fertilizers, ma chinery, and seed.
 An association has been formed Tn Barcelona to encourage the cul- tlvatlon of cotton in Spain by pub fishing books, reviews, and articles in various periodicals, giving instruc- tlons about the best methods of rais- Ing cotton, as well as statistical and technical data. It will place agricul- turlsts in direct contact with con- sumers, guarantee the sale of cotton crops at remunerative prices, install experimental stations, and foster all other means that may tend to estab- fish cotton cultivation in the Penin- sula.'

Mountain Climbing
 in the Alps Cause
 of Many Accidents

Geneva, Nov Mountain clim]- ing brought an unusually heavy crop of accidents this season. One of the most sensational occurred on the Pig Col few days ago, when two women slipped and fell into a crev~ asse 100 feet deep. Their male companion, unable to help, rushed fer guides and, after seven hours im- priscnment, the women were cXtri- cated one dead and the other uncon- sclous.
 On the same day three young cou- ples had just reached the summit of Luisin peak, above SaIvan, when a girl 21 years old collapsed and fell 800 feet. After an a!l-night search guides found her body and carried it with great difficulty to the village of Martigny.
 A climber named Durisch died at St. Moritz after fail on Mount Rosatch.

Resent Sidetracking
 of German Writer

Berlin, Nov. 1.-The newspaper Freiheit sharply criticizes the gov ernment for excluding Karl Kautsky from the commission which is to pub- fish documents dealing with pre-war diplomacy. When the revolution started Kautsky and his wife were assigned to the task of collating the records on file in the foreign office. The work was completed some months ago but publication was withheld The Freiheit charges that this "sidetracking" of Kautsky will create mistrust abroad because he is one of the most intellectual of the followers of international social democracy.

After the enemy positions in the

Patrols were sent across the creek
TO the front but found no enemy there.
However, the right flank was in the

was conclusive that the l4lst was not

This order was given verbally. The

Immediately with exceedingly heavy
machine gun fire and artillery bar
rage As | will show later, our own
barrage was laid behind many OF the
cnemys strongest positions, thus
leaving them unhindercd or unhurt.
Very naturally the advance was slow
and costly. About go o'clock three
companies OF the support battalion
went into the front line. About 7
o'clock the enemy was cleared from
the wooded ground on the knoll to the
right front. This hard fighting on
tn right threw the line that way,
causing gap between the left OF the
line and ST. Etcnne.
About 8 o'clock the reserve bat

went in to fill this gap. It met with
heavy machine gun fire from the
