AMERICAN BALE is DISGRACE.
British Delegation So Describes the
Manner of Packing Cotton.

New York. September 24.-Action
to remedy defects of the American
cotton bale will be considered at the
world cotton conference, to be held
in New York next month, according
to an announcement made today at
the Headquarters of the conference
here by Frank Nesmith, secretary of
the British delegation, which is on
it's way to- the convention.
"The American bale is disgrace
when it reaches the other side be-
cause of the way in which it is pack
ed, it's lack of uniformity and it's rag
ged condition." said Mr.. Nesmith.
Means to reduce the cost of trans
portation of cotton also will be dis
cussed at the conference, he asserted.
It is expected this movement can be
brought about by employing a pack
ing process which will make the
bales compact without decreasing the
quality of the cotton to be shipped.
The financing and credit of the cotton
industry, as we'll as plan for STAN
,dardizing statistics of the output al
so will be taken up by the conven-
ton.
Brazil is being discussed as one of
the possible big cotton producers of
the world, according to Mr.. Nesmith,
who added: eff she goes into it she
will do 50 on a scientifi basis" 1t
had been estimated; he said that
Brazil could supply 2o,000,000 bales
of cotton annually. This amount. he
declared, would answer the require
ments of the world. In twenty years,
however, he said, an annual output OF
4O, 100000 bales will be necessary.
Delegates to the conference ex-
pected to visit the headquarters Of
the conference opened here by Fuller
Galloway, chairman of the committee
on foreign representatives of the con-
vention, on their way to New Or
leans, represent every branch Of the
cotton industry from nearly every
country of the world.

The league Of nations covenant,
President Wilson said in his luncheon
address today, "is the enterprise of
divine mercy and peace and good

''I believe in divine providence. If I
did not, I would go crazy, if 1
thought the direction Of disordered
affairs of this world depended upon
our finite endeavor, I should not
know how to reason my way to sanity.
But I do not believe there is any
body of men, however they concert
their power or their influence, that
can defeat this great enterprise"

ALL FEARED MOON.
Soldiers Regarded Orb Of Night as
Their Enemy.

"The war is~ended, the battlefields
being cleared of their debris; the
rusty wire is being rolled up. The
nights can be spent in beds, yet the
men of the one hundred and nine
teenth field artillery even now look
at the sky with dread" says L. L.
Stevenson in the Detroit News.
t'The battlefelds are not distant.
Nor are the days distant when the
moonlight was menace to the one
hundred and nineteenth.
1--WE were riding back from Toul, a
little company of Detroit men, who
had celebrated birthday anniversary
in that old walled city. We had been
discussing many things, principal OF
which was the home coming, plans
for the future and those whom we
wished were with us. Then the
moon swung over those forts on the
hill, concealed no longer, and fell
silence over the veterans.
"They seemed to draw into them
selves. Came loud report and the
artillerymen half rose in their seats.
1t was only a rear tire, yet the ef-
feet on keyed-up nerves was the same
as though the blowout had been the
detonation of that which had dropped
from the sky. :.
"And simultaneously all damned
the moon, as though that inoffensive
orb had been the cause.
"Then they told me of those
nights marching'along the highways
helpless. Jerry sweeping low and
spraying lead at them from the ma
| chine guns, of bombs that were 81
lent until they spoke in accents of
death. They spoke also of the night
when Buck was killed, when Chap
lain William A. Atkinson, now quite
recovered, lay in pool of blood;
when others with whom I had eaten
and slept and camped up at Grayling,
had fathomed the great mystery.
t'It seemed to be relief to them,
a lifting of the weight, and said
nothing though all of the night had
departed Strange scenes danced
about my eyes; the gaunt, unfinished
military hospital on the left was a
gray ghost; those winking lights
cleaning now, but not long ago had
they shone they would have been an
invitation to death-were far away
flares, the deserted ammunition dump
was animated with sweating figures.
"It was as though weight had
been Lifted when we entered Maui
wages. Clear and distinct in the
bright light stood a sentry, stall
wart fellow, his naturally large build
magnified in the silver beams until
he was giant. The way he carried
himself, the fit of his uniform, told
that he was a veteran.
and he was shaking his fist at
the moon"

"Children," said the teacher to his

With a little practice you will find it

Search for Bodies.
Men searching for bodies along
North Nuesces Bay tonight expressed
the belief that scores of additional
bodies are under unexplored wreck
age along the shore, or buried in the
sand shifted by the tidal wave.
Miller c. Nelson, of. Stinton, a prom
inent attorney who has been working
with other searchers on North Nueces
ever since the storm subsidized, said
his experiences had convinced him
that the total death list for Corpus
Christi and vicinity would reach H.
900.
"Many of these bodies never will be
recovered" Mr. Nelson said. ''Un-
questionably some bodies, probably
many, have been swept away down
the bay, probably into the gulf, or as
the waters of Nueces river recedes
further, the sinking of wreckage will
press many bodies into the sands be-
yond hope of recovery"
The number of persons here willing
to predict the total dead will not ex-
ceed 500 has become negligible and

number of known dead, estimates
