EXPORT COTTON
BODY WILL HAVE
WIDEST SCOPE

ATLANTA, June ia great or
ganization covering the entire cotton
belt for the mutual benefit and pro-
lection of the cotton producers is
planned by the American Cotton asso-
citation recently launched at the con-
ference of farmers and business men
held in New Orleans, and now ap-
preaching the stage where actual or
ganization will soon be ready to be-
gin.
L. B. Jackson, director of the mar
ket bureau of the Georgia department
of agriculture, is member of spe-
cial committee appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws for the as
ISOLATION, and he returned last night
from meeting of the committee in
Columbia, S. c.
1.-THE American Cotton Association
will not be limited strictly to far
mers," said Mr.. Jackson, 'but will be
broad enough in scope to include the
merchants and bankers of the south,
whose interests are identical with the
interests of the farmers. A good price
for cotton means good times for ev-
erybody. A low price for cotton
means general hard times"
"The Association will have the US
ual officers and board of directors.
Its president will be general man
ager of the association. 1t is planned
to secure for this position a man
of the highest ability and standing,
man familiar with the problems of the
southern cotton producers and the
southern business man. Each state in
the cotton belt will form branch
of the association, but no state will
take individual action in any mat
ter involving policy. 1t will be the aim
of the association to make authorita-
tive surveys each season to ascer-
tain the cost of producing cotton
with view to establishing a mini
mum price below which no farme
should dispose of his staple. Ways
and means of aiding the farmers in
a final way to hold ths3r cotton will
also be devised. Expenses of the asso-
citation will be betrayed by dues. The
directors of the association will meet
at New Orleans July to 3.

IT'S A CODSEND
TO BOTH OF u.s.
This Farmer Near Macon Suffered
From Stomach Trouble, a Slug
gish Liver and Weak Kidney
Helped His Wife Also.

Probably there are no better
known people along Route 3, from
Macon, Ga; than J. N. Ethridge and
his wife. For years they have lived
there and every one in that section
knows them well, therefore when they
give public statement it is bound
to attract attention. Read what
they say about the new medicine
called Dreco.
''For some time both my wife and
| have been great sufferers from an
aggravated case of stomach trouble.
Even the best selected food would
disagree with us and cause pains, gas
and bloating. The liver was slug
gish in action and it was not long
before the kidneys gave trouble. Our
appetites fell away and sleep was
broken and failed to rest US. I am
So years old and have never taken
any medicine that acted as promptly
and with such pleasant effect as Dire
co has done. Both of US are over
with all our troubles and are feeling
better than in long time. 1t is with
pleasure that we give this public en-
dorsement of this grand medicine,
! Dreco."
Since the introduction in this Sec.
ton of the new root and herb medi-
cine, Dreco, many persons have tes-
titled as to the good it has done them
in cases of indigestion, dyspepsia,
gas on the stomach, constipation,
! weak kidneys, pains in the back and
aching limbs; nervousness; loss of
sleep and poor appetite. There is
no better remedy anywhere for a
sluggish liver, dizzy spells, spots
dancing before the eyes, heartburn,
bad taste in the mouth and for gen.
eral rundown systems that need a
strengthening tonic.
All good druggists sell Dreco and
it is especially recommended in
Americas by Americas Drug Co.

From this area Germany loses
outright her ill-gotten Alsace-Lor-
raine parts of Silesia, Posen, and
West Prussia, the Danzig area, Eupen
and Malmedy. This aggregate loss in
territory is about equivalent to the
area of the State of Maine.
But that is not all. In addition
there are areas in which a plebis ?
cite is to be taken. Their total extent
is about equivalent to the area of the
state of New Hampshire. They in
clude the southeastern third of East
Prussia, part of Schle wig, and the
Saar Valley. Even before the war it
is likely that a plebiscite would have
found anti-German support in each of
these areas. After the war, when the
choice is between tax-burdened Ger
many and some other power there
would seem to be little doubt but that
the Saar regions will prefer France,
Schleswig will revert to Denmark
and the East Prussia area to Poland

WASHINGTON, June In connec-
ton with the accompanying map, pre-
pared by the National Geographic So
ciety showing the territorial losses
of Germany, as indicated in the Off
cial summary of the peace treaty
and in the subsequent official state
ment indicating the boundary delimi-
tations, the Society has issued a bull
letin explaining the extent, Importance
and peoples of the areas Germany
must forget. This bulletin states:
TO visualize more CLEARLY what
Germany lost in territory take a map
of the United States and from the
area of Texas deduct that of Michi-
gan. This may be done, roughly, by
eliminating the panhandle and that
western rectangle beyond the Rio
Grand, which has Ell Paso in the
northwest corner. The result will be
an area approximately the size of the
continental German empire before the
armistice was signed.

THE I. W. W. AND THE A. r. L.
Was Mr.. Gompers Warned Of the De-
signs Of the InternationalIstsf

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str: in
my opinion this so-called steel strike
was not promoted nor is It supported by
intelligent and conservative labor. but
comes from the radical foreign labor
element chiefly who were members Of the
revolutionary Industrial Workers OF the
World and are in practical control of the
American Federation of Labor.
The strike is without Justification. 1t
is not aimed at the correction OF any
substantial grievances. though there are
unfortunately some bad conditions In In
tustry under which they are able to
camoufiage their true purpose.
In my opinion this strike is nothing
more nor less than revolutionary
movement to "socialize the industries OF
the country with view to the ulti-
mate destruction OF the existing social
order and the "sovietizing' Of our Gov
eminent. The only thing that will save
us from such a fate is the fact that we
have a middle class Of high intelligence,
deeply attached to our institutions, who
have a substantial interest in the coun-
try and who are In the majority and
will put down the radical element with
a ruthless hand whenever 1t comes to
showdown.
During the war occupied an official
position where IL was my business to
know something about the organization
and activities of the l. w. W., the ex-
IRENE socialists and the anarchists In
this country. There came to my atten-
tion at that time an organization known
as the Laboring Mems Council. It was
an organization of the most radical ele-
ments of the l. w. W., got up for
the purpose Of surreptitiously gaining
control of the American Federation of
Labor, and It would seem from this
strike that they had been in a great
measure successful.
My impression is. though I may be in
error, that a letter was sent to Mr.
GNmpers warning him of the designs of
this organization upon the American
Federation of Labor. A. s. LANIER.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
difficulty faced by the gentlemen who
are trying to reflect Justice Newburger

fact that the public generally is not yet
awake to the importance of the issue
involved
Lawyers understand IT, Litlgants gr-
derstand it. Thoughtful men and women
who study public affairs closely under
stand H. But the mass of our citizens,
most of whom never get into court In
their lives, do not yet comprehend what
the refusal to renominate these judges
means.
This accounts for the sloth OF many
citizens In not registering They don't
know what their neglect may cost. They
don't realize that ultimately their per-
sonal rights are concerned in this issue.
They will know the facts before the
Campaign is over, but they don't know
them now.

ENGLAND ASSAILED.
Her Colonial Policy Denounced by an
Opponent of League Of Empires"

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-SE: The
more one studies Mr.. Wilson's League
of Empires the more amazing the docu-
ment appears. 1T gives carte blanche to
| builders of autocracies, while denying
to democracy even a chance to be heard.
Mr.. Wilson asserts that the United
States could bring up the case of Ire
| land, but with characteristic lack OF
candor he neglects to say that the court
before which the case would come would
have no principles to guide its decisions.
1t would not be bound to heed the wishes
of the people of ireland or OF any other
subjugated country.
Before the United States was estab-
lished the founders OF our Republic
framed Constitution. setting down for
the guidance OF the new Government the
fundamental principles to be observed
in the conduct of affairs.
This League of Empires confers enor-
nous powers on irresponsible officials.
If history has any lesson for US II is
that no set of men that ever lived could
be trusted with such power The most
selfish interests would be the most In
sistent. and they would dominate.
Who would have dared assert a year
ago that a President Of the United States
would vote to close the only door by
which subJugated peoples have ever
gained freedom7
England is more or less democratic at
home, II is true. but in her dealings with
dependencies she respects the rights of
those only who have the strength to re-
sist successfully. As to all others she In
