BEGINNING OF END
in LEAGUE BATTLE
ASSENT is PROMISED TO RESER-
VATIONISTS BY DEMOCRATS,
WHO WANT QUICK ACTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The trend
toward agreement on reservations IN
the peace treaty reached the stage
today where the group of republican
senators advocating reservations re-
ceived assurances which they accept
ed as guaranteeing democratic as
sent to their program.
Word reached members of the
group, it was said, that as soon as
they could pledge a score of republi-
can votes for reservations to the
league of nations covenant along the
line recently agreed on by seven re-
publican senators the administration
forces in the senate would be willing
to line up on that basis for ratifica-
ton of the treaty.
There was an intimation also that
the reservationists had reason to be-
lieve their ranks eventually would in
cIude Senator Lodge, chairman of the
foreign relations committee and re-
publican leader of the senate.
The program on which it's sought
to unite these elements contemplates
reservations to further protect the
Monroe doctrine, to insure domestic
control over domestic questions, to
amplify the right of withdrawal and
to fortify the power of congress to
decide questions of peace or war un-
der article 10.
Democrats in Receptive Mood.
1t was declared the information
that democrats were in a receptive
mood toward such a proposal did not
come from Senator Hitchcock, of Ne
braska, the administration leader
but from source considered entirely
authoritative. The Nebraska senator
himself denied that he had taken
part in any such negotiations and
said his advocacy of unreserved ratl-
fication remained unaltered. Mr.
Lodge also denied that he had given
assent to the proposed reservations.
Among many senators the days de-
velopments were interpreted as
marking the beginning of the end of
the long treaty fight. This prediction
was by no means unanimous, how
ever. Some republican members OF
the committee believe they should
have more information before they
act.

100000 BALES is
new COTTON ESTIMATE
REPORT OF AMERICAN ASSO-
CATION SHOWS FURTHER
CROP DETERIORATION.

The American Cotton Association
is authority for the statement that
the present crop of cotton will not
amount to more than 100000
bales. "The general trade" says the
report of the association, "has no
conception of the condition of the
growing crop. 1t is two to four
weeks late; it has a diseased root
system, no tap root; has less fruit
than has ever been known in the last
twenty-five years. Even with ideal
seasons and without insect damage
and a late frost only a moderate
crop can be made. With adverse sea-
sons we are facing crop calamity.
On account of the sappy condition
of the crop, the lateness of it, and
the present condition an inviting
field is offered for insect damage.
Caterpillars would bring a complete
crop disaster"
The American Cotton Association
bases it's estimate of 100000
bales for this season on prelimi-
nary report showing the condition of
cotton since the last government re-
port, July 25. This preliminary re-
port shows that cotton has further
The weather reports are being
watched at the present time with
more interest than usual, because it
is believed that this month will be
the most critical month in the sea-
son.
The sea island, or long staple cot
ton, such as has not been plowed
under or abandoned, is in sad plight
because of boil weevil ravages.

RAPS MEAT DEALERS
Profits on Sales the Consumer Average One Hundred
Per Cent Calvin Asserts.

said Mr.. Calvin, when selling at
100 per cent. profit, adds more
to the cost of the meat to the
consumer than the combined
profits, taken by the farmer, the
livestock dealer, and the packer
with transportation and storage
charges included.
"And he adds that profit"
said Mr.. Calvin, 'for simply cut
ting the meat and handing it
over the counter to you, assum-
ing no risk whatever.
The witness also cited beef
quotations at Boston, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and other large
cities, showing that, although
the price of dressed beef to the
retailer had declined on an aver
age of 25 per cent. at those
points from July 1 to July Is
there was an average decrease
of only s per cent. in the price
to the consumer.
"These figures show" interject-
ed Senator Capper, of Kansas,
member of the committee, "that
the retailer is profteering."
