GERMANY. MUST, BUY AMERICAN COTTON
Appalled, At Prices But Textile Ey. ports Express Opinion That it
 Must Be Purchased At Any Cost

Berlin, Nov. 20.-American cotton must be bought by Germans at an% cost in the opinion of German textile think of the prices These experts estimate that American cotton wilt cost in Germany about nine and one half marks for the German pound which is somewhat heavier than the American. This price is in part ow- ing to the low exchange value of the German mark which before the war was normally worth about 24 cents
 Some little American cotton has been landed at Bremen especially since it has bneoma.s possible to send orders by wireless and thus avoid de- lay of five days or more in EabTing by the way of Engsalrtl 5n4 IsxIert say thc Americans are anxious to do business directly with Germany and to avoid any interfeTencc by the British but the GeFman regulations limiting bills of esselangesiss a serious handicap for it prevents the importation of much cotton fronlsAmc erica through fear of losses by zexchange.
 Nevertheless, fhe trade writers point out that English factories al readg.are producing cotton goods in the sotdapicd .ahistrfct of Germany aud theyfagret .thadIif Germany is not. to be overwhelmed by expensive English goods which thus would obtain an opening foothold in German markets, Germany must have American cot ton no matter what itsnas to pay

LONDONERS OPPOSED.
 TO TALL BUILDINGS
Conditions However, May Make
 Them a Necessity

London, Nov. 14.-The old question or whether London is to have sky serapers is being revived because of the high price of property in the business section and the lack of space in office buildings.
 The government buildings in White hall are four stories high, but 1t mas been found necessary to add d story to the war office to Aeet the demands of the department. One well known architect in touch with the govern ments plans expressed the opllllol that unless the new and the old
 ministries were content to do thelr work outside of the area devoted to governmental activities skyscrapers were inevitable in Whitehall.
 Generally speaking, however, Lon don does not like tall buildings Percy TubbS, past president of the Society of Architects, declared that if the skyscraper was to come it would be necessary to widen the streets.
 But space in London is not so scarce as it is in New York, which is an island,' he said. II think the traffic problem will not become so un- tNieldly that we shall be afraid to let London expand, any further outwards and we will be compelled to expand it upwards. Personally, I always feel that where skysCrapers abound the man in the street moves in the bottom of a well.
 American architects who arc herc erecting huge department store have repeatedly asked for permission to ex- tend the main building high enough to accommodate not only the present business of the concern but to pro- vide for the future, and have met with no encourag cement whatever.

 The Bolsheviki have withdrawn many mon from the Kolchak front; giving the admiral a chance to- ad = vance. In the meantime, the western front has become a menace to Bol- sheVism.
