may be cleaned, if they have not
been allowed to stay too long, by
sprinkling the spot with talcum
powder, which should be we'll rubbed
in. After the first layer is rubbed
into the cloth sprinkle more pow

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Yorkf May 29.-Early week ad- vances were followed by reactions in the market amounting to about 2c per pound. october contracts sold at 32.2oc on Monday, making an almost continuous advance of approXlmately Sc per pound from recent low level. This evidently was sufficient to create reactionary sentiment in some quarters and the decline which followed has been more generally attributed 10 profit taking and liquidation than to any change in the general character of the news.
 The holidays, lasting from the close until next Monday morning. probably increase the disposition to take profits on speculative long shots, while uncer- tainty as to the exact showing of the first government condition report this season scheduled for publication at the first of the week, was also factor Trade buying and covering was re- I ported on the decline, while fresh sell | ing for short account was supposed to be held in check by complaints of continued wet weather in the south, low private condition figures, and the l continued bul1ish character of reports l from the goods trade.
 | Up to the close of business tonight there had been five private crop re- i ports, ranging rom 70 b to ti. 70 do to l condition and from a decrease of ) | to 13 per cent in the indicated acreage. 1 owing to the fact that some of the
 heaviest rains occurred as these pri- | vate reports were compiled there was
 a feeling in bullish quarters that the government report might be even fur ther below the 10-year average of T9 ? per cent as of May 25.
 Some nervousness has been eX- pressed over reports of diminishing lbuyer power abroad and difficulties in establishing credits for export bus ness, but southern spot advices have attributed part of the big business in the situation spot markets to foreign
 buying and local bulls are predicting
 larger exports next month. This view
 has been encouraged by further allo-
 cations of ocean freight room for cot T ton and reports that the requirements
 of tonnage for foodstuffs was dimn-
 ishing. Sales of spot cotton have beer
 reported in early season volume, ane

CAP PTA|N OF SHIP | DESCRIBES RESCUE 0F HARRY HAWKER
Airmen Were in Water to Waists, But Water-Tight Suits Kept Them Dry
 Till Rescuers Arrived
By Associated Press

Horsens, Denmark, May 29.-The Dan ish steamer Mary which rescued Harry C. Hawker and Lieut. Commander Grieve in midatlantic on May 19, when they were compelled to descend during their attempt to fly from Newfoundland to Ireland, arrived here today. Captain Dunn and his mates told of the rescue of the aviator.
 Second Mate Hoey had the watch with Seaman Schwartz at the helm when at 6 o'clock on the morning of Monday May 19. they sighted the airplane which came down into the sea off the bow of the ship Hoey and Schwartz immediately prepared to launch boat, and with First Mate Schubert, Seaman Fred Jensen and Christian Larsen, the ships carpenter, they set out for the airplane. The crew of the Mary had considerable, difficulty in launching a boat, and Captain Dunn said he doubted whether it would have been possible to do so had the airplane appeared an hour later than it did.
 Hawker and Grieve were greatly ex- hausted after the rescue, the captain said, so much so that they declined preferred food in order to obtain needed sleep. Captain Dunn declared that the aViatorS naturally were upset because the Mary had no wireless, and they were unable to inform their relatives they were safe. The captain said that Hawker also was somewhat disappointed because he was unable to salvage the airplane so that he might learn definitely the req son why he had failed
 When I came on the bridge" Captain Dunn said, 'the machine had already alighted on the water. The airmen tolt us that before coming down they hat 1 dropped rockets, but we did not set
 them. The work of saving the airmer was pretty difficult because it wa:
 blowing very hard. Hawker and Griev' l were in water up to their waists, bu
 their watertight suits kept them dry" l Asked whether the ,rew of the life boat was in serious danger in effectin; l the rescue, the captain replied:
 l q will not say serious danger, but, as | I said, it was rather difficult hou before they succeeded in reaching tn | airmen.
 l "All the airmen wanted to do was t sleep. They told us that from the yer. start they realized everything was no | quite in order, but that they had com l forted themselves with the hope tha later they would get the right effect l from their motor. The defect, however l became more and more apparent ant ! the speed of the motor steadily lessened

MAY SIGN BY JUNE 15

Paris, May 29.-June 15 is the earliest possible date on which the German treaty oan be signed if no obstructions are encountered, but June 20 is the more probable date for it's signature, and the departure of President Wilson for the United States, according to member ot the American peace delegation, who dis cussed the situation with the correspond ent today.
 The German counter proposals have been received with the tyreatest interest by the members of the peace conference especially the claims for immediate mem bershpI in the league of nations, for 2 plebiscite to decide, the disposition O Galicia and for fixing a definite sum fol reparationS.

The representatives of the allied and associated powers at last have before them the answer of Ger many to the terms of the peace treaty.
 Under the procedure adopted by the peace congress, the reply of the Germans to the various clauses of the treaty, consisting mainly of counter proposals seeking to lessen the severity of the allies terms, will be considered by the members of the council of four, who will di- gest the views of the enemy and report back their decision as quick ly as possible. This decision is to be final and Germany then will be compelled either to sign or re- ject the treaty.
 In case of declinatiOn to sign, British, French and American troops are prepared to take such steps as Marshal FOch may deem necessary, while at sea the block ade against Germany is ready to he frightened again. A plan of the allies to have Switzerland, in the event of refusal by Germany to sign, enforce a severe blockade against Germany, if necessary, is reported to have failed, Switzer- land claiming this would infringe Swiss neutrality.
 It had been believed possible that on Friday the terms of peace to Austria would be ready for sub I.~ ha ennnciI fnnr tO the representatives of the smaller nations.

RETURNS TO MEXICO

Later Angeles returned to Mexico through the United States with the as sistance of American officials who were then supporting the 'constitu- tionalist revolution" conducted by Car ranza and Villa. Angeles was imme- diately made chief of artillery under Villa and the success of the Carranza revolution was due in great part, ac- cording to officials here, to the work of Angeles.
 The troubles between Carranza and Villa eliminated in an agreement be- tween the "constitutionalist" generals for a meeting at Aguas Caldentes to chose a new President of Mexico zapata was then fighting Carranza's troops in Mexico City, Angeles an- nouncing that he desired to make a clean settlement of the whole matter, went directly through Mexico City to Cuernavaca and met Zapata. This dangerous journey was possible, it was said, because Angeles had proved his sympathy with the Indians on the land question, and he alone could get an audience with Zapata. As result, Zapata sent delegates to the conven- tion from which later Carranza, be- cause they did not elect him President, withdrew his delegates, proclaimlng himself President On account of Car ranzas deflection from the Aguas Calientes convention, whose decision he had bound himself to follow, Angeles
 was forced to remain with the con- ventionist army. Villas defeat by Ob- regon at Celaya was due to his refusal to take the advice of General Angeles. Angeles eminence as an artillerist, well known to the French military forces brought about his engagement by France. as inspector of munitions in this country during the war.
 It was pointed out by an official of the state department today that An geles brought brains and ability to the
 anti -Carranza movement" which is now considered the most serious the present Mexican government has had to face. He has been consistent it was said, land is fighting now for the same prin- ciples he fought for at the start-the | restoration of the constitution of 1857.
