Carries answered, the patriotic league
intends to end anarchistic efforts to
break down the civilization Of Argcn-

This morning the league sent one
civilian, one army officer and one nav

With the organization of this vigil

agitators which have been more or
less serious for more than a year.
Eight hundred agitators have been
arrested during tho last few days and
the police have a list of 1900 more
who may be taken into custody at
any time. During Wednesday night

roofs of government buildings and

German Peace Delegate Thinks Paris

League of Nations which has been

PARIS POLICE IN
MAY DAY CLASHES
Foreigners Are Prominent Among
Those Causing Trouble

Paris. May (Ry the Assoclated
Press. Ut was reported tonight thaI
three deaths had resulted from the
1ieordcre incident to the May day
roIobr,tion in this city today. There
we're. besides, 26 persons severely
wounded, 200 slightly injured and 100
arrested during the demonstrations.
American ambulanccs did efficient
work in picking up the wounded, the
American Red Cross attendants being
cheercd by the crowds
One Of the incidents of the day &C.
Cured at the Invalides bridge where
an American lieutenant colonel and
two junior officers were stopped by
Dragons when they attempted to
cross the river. After a parley the
Americans were charged upon by
some cavalrymen and in the melee
some shots were fired.
During a clash between the police
and crowd in Place de la Bastille in
which 20 persons were wounded,
policeman shouted to the mob:
III you want to fight, go to Yer
sailles and fight the Germans
The mob took up the cry "On to
Nersailles' and a diversion was Gre
ated which averted more serious fight
Ing. Foreigners were prOmin ent
among those engaged in the demon
STATIONS and the police declared to-
night that virtually every other lead
er in the crowds was either Russian,
Spanish Or a member of some other
alien race.
The prefecture of police maintains
that policemen had no ball cartridges
in their revolvers and that no ammu-
milton was issued to the troops, the
few shots fired consequently having
come from the demonstrators.
The disturbances are deplored by
public opinion. Before the war 1t is
pointed out such incidents as the day
brought forth would have seemed
trivial in comparison with those of
other May Days but it is considered
deeply regrettable that after so much
French blood had been shed on the
battlefield no more should have been
spilled on the streets of the capital.

PRICES TO COME DOWN.

Admittedly the general AVERAGE
price level may never get back where
1t was before the war; but few indeed
are the thoughtful men who do not ex-
pect prices to 90 half way back within
a reasonable time.
Instant response to these economic
factors can not be expected. The bus
mess world is not a movie show in
which the whole performance is over
IN an hour; and the high price levels
may continue for a few weeks or
months, depending upon monetary and
trade developments. However. the
main points are tina THE vast amount
OF idle producing capacity is sure

crease in the total supply of goods.

selves otherwise.

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.

7 From present indications the prize
of raw cotton and of cotton good!
must decline sharply.
( A little time back it appeared as i
there would be urgent demand fol
every bale of cotton that Americs
could produce. Early in the year there
was a campaign j nthe South to re.
duce acreage radically. There was a
reduction of about z per cent. In ad-
dltlon, the growing conditions have
not been favorable, but, despite the
prospect that the yield viii be below
the average, the crop robably will be
more than sufficient.
1t was expected there would be a
tremendous foreign demand. Germany
is stripped of raw cotton. She re-
qulreS 100000 bales. Poland is short,
very short of cotton. SO are Italy,
Spain, France, Great Britain and other
European countries.
If they could get cotton in accord
a great amount-all that America
ance with their needs they would take
could furnish after her domestic re-
quirements were met.
With appreciation of this fact cot
ton has been up to 35 cents a pound
and some enthusiasts in the South
have been predicting 40 cents or more.
fortunate if it can market the crop at
Now, it would seem, the South viii be
anything nea rthe present price of
about 30 cents.
The disorganization of foreign ex-
change has knocked the props from
under the European market. By reas-
on of this decentralization of exchange
a bale Of cotton that would cost the
spinner $3.50 would cost the
British spinner about $3.50, the French
and Italian spinner very much more
and the German spinner 5000 bale. |
Instead Of buying 100000 bales, it |
is doubtful whether Germany can ar
range to buy 100000 bales.
The handicap on the French and the /
italians is not nearly so heavy as on
he Germans, but it is so burdensome

kind Of reasoning might do in Russia
but it is all wrong and unsound,
A crime, in law, is a crime; makes
no difference who the man is or where
he lives, who commits it, if it is a
crime there can be nothing said other
than he has committed crime and it
ought to be investigated, and if the
grand jury finds sufficient evidence on
which to predicate an accusation then
he ought to be promptly indicted. As
! say, a crime is a crime, but morally
there may be distinctions, as, we will
say, when man steals a horse, he
may steal it from a man who is worth
a hundred thousand dollars, or he may
steal it from poor widow who has
nothing in the world but that horse;
if he steals it from the widow, he has
certainly committed a greater moral
otfense than if he had stolen it from
the rich man, to whom it would have
been but slight loss. After a man
is brought into court and convicted,
when he is brought up to be sentenced
then the court has the right to CON
slider the moral side of the matter in
determining whether he will make the
sentence light or heavy.

SOME WAR FACTS.

In an address before the Senate last
Tuesday, Senator Kirby, Of Arkansas
presented some interesting facts rela-
tive to the selective draft system,
Americas participation in the war, and
our army at home and abroad.
The Arkansas senator introduced a
chart showing the number Of soldiers
furnished by each State for the great
four million army that made the world
safe for democracy. This chart showed
that Mississippi furnished la per
cent Of the total or 54,295 men. The
figures, of course, apply only to men
furnished through the National Army
and National Guard, and does not in
clude the voluntary enlistments in the
army, navy or marine corps, which
viii swell Mississippis total at least
$4,000 men.
Americas army of four million men
was under the command Of 100000
officers, Of which only 5000 We're sup
piled by the regular army and the Ma
tional Guard
The average American soldier who
went to France received six months
training at home before sailing, had
two months of training overseas be-
fore entering the battle line, and
about one month in quiet sector be-
fore he faced hard fighting. In other
words, it took nine months to convert
the raw civilian into a perfected SOL I
