Several respectable authorities in
England have declared that there 10

other individuals, however v highly

exists for bringing these arch criminals

The summary Of weather and crop
condition in the cotton region for the
week ended April IL, as given out in
Washington, follows; Light showers,
moderately high temperatures, gave
conditions favorable for cotton over
much OF the eastern portion Of the belt,
but continued rains and moderately low
temperature further delayed work,
while termination and growth is rather
poor in many western localities. Plant
Ing of cotton has advanced north to
Southern North Carolina and Northern
Georgia. but practically no cotton has
been planted in Tennessee and very lit
tie in Arkansas. Conditions about av-
erage In Southern Texas, but germi-

while the preparation Of soil Is delayed
In Oklahoma and Arkansas, The week
was generally favorable for corn In
most southern districts, where germi-

(This is the fifth OF a series OF arti-
cies by David Lawrence, who has just
returned from FTance.)
WASHINGTON, April l6.-President
Wilson came to Europe after more than
q years correspondence by cable
through the indirect channels Of am
baesadors n special representatives
with the leading statesmen OF Europe
n ithe truth Is the European premiers
had their misgivings about him and he
had his W doubts about them. They
had never talked with him and worked
out the personal equation-and the
president realized that he. too, had not
the most accurate knowledge Of what
constituted the real personality Of each
OF these statesmen. There WAS an in
evitable period OF getting acquainted,
Many observers think II was the most
critical month of the peace conference,
for during that time the president was
seeing Europe at first hand and con-
1irming his own impression that the
tdealism he had been preaching at
5000 miles range wasn't shared by some
Of our allied friends-for the sake OF
allied unity they hadn't made n pub
lie expression OF their differences while
the war was on. When the war ended
they would have preferred TO continue
silent about these differences and try 10
reach an agreement In secret conclave,
Objection to an open peace conference
was made by n OF the allied premiers,
for example, on the ground that diff
ferences might be accentuated and lead
10 serious friction between peoples,
There was much truth In what he said
II II had been known. for example, that
a certain French official al one Of the
talks with President Wilson practically
suggested that America should pay =
proportionate share OF the cost OF this
war and that this should include the
two years when the United States wal
neutral, resentment over the suggestion
might have created In America a luke
warm feeling toward further parleyinp
with European governments about worlc
organization and encouraged those II
the United States who were advocating
