New York, February 2S.-Announcing that he had returned to the United States to say "au revoir' to the American gov ernment and people who had been so "generous" in their treatment of him, Lord Reading, British ambassador, ac- companied by Lady Reading. Sir Grim wood Mears, Brig. Gen. C. E. o. Charl- ton and Capt. Guy Portman. arrived here today aboard the Cunard liner Aquitania. The ambassador in a statement to the press. added that the moment now ap- breaches when I must resume my duties as lord chief justice of England
 Lord Reading and his party did not stop over in New York, but went direct ly from the pier to the Pennsylvania station, where they boarded a train for Washington. The amba ssador went to England last August e represent his country as a member of the allied emer- gency relief council for revictualling Europe.
 Lord Reading said that the emergency which led to his political and diplo- matic activities during the war came to an end soon after the cessation of hostilities and that the time was close at hand when he must again put on the judicial robes.
 He expressed regret that he could not remain in Washington long enough to play as British ambassador in the great political developments which are daily unfolding themselves at the peace con terence

COLONEL M'LESTER SPEAKS ID C|WTANS
Returned Officer Relates Interesting Experiences
 at the Front

Lieut.. Col. James S. McLester, recently returned from overseas duty, was the principal speaker at the Civitan luncheon held yesterday at the Southern club, the occasion being Doctors Day" and many leading members of the profession were in attendance. In a stirring address on his war experiences. pr. MeLester paid fine tribute to the courage, devotion to duty, and patriotism of the American private soldier at the front
 In his opening remarks Dr. McLester gave some statistics as to the response to the call to the colors of the medical profession, showing that one-thrd of the physicians of the country that were of military age and physically able had entered the service. Without a single reference to his own personal activities, he told of the dangers the surgeons at the front were subjected to and how they had performed their duties uncomplainingly under the most trying circumstances.
 Referring to the complaints that had been made of mismanagement in conduct of the war, Dr. McLester stated that while it was possible some mistakes had been made, the complaints came largely from returned officers who had been de- noted for inefficiency or other causes. He cited several notable examples to bear out his statement. Dr. McLester was given the closest attention and loudly ap- plauded at the conclusion of his inter-. esting address.
 During the roll call of the members and their guests, it developed that doctor, a druggist, coroner and an undertaken were sitting in close proximity to each other at the table, which caused mem Der to remark that that was "a com biration that no one could beat"
 President Shropshire announced that the luncheon next week would be Man ufacturers Day." and that the officials of several industrial plants would be the: guests of the club.

 Shortly after l o'clock a deluge of pes simistic information was circulated connection with cotton. The embargo situation was again brought to the front and reports of improved weather condi ! tions generally throughout the belt start& ed some realizing. and those who had been holding for sometime aided the heaviness by Equidating and this in con- nection with bearish operations by pro fessionals swung the market continuous ly downward to the close, with unim- portant reactions.

Over Private Wires
Over W. I. Phelts & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, February 2S-Wide de- clines vssited the cotton market today, selling pressure being felt as soon as trading commenced while no buying pow CT developed at any stage of the session There were three distinct features or bearish at work during the day, namely the failure to secure any modification or embargo rules against cotton, the pending cotton contract legislation in Congress and, in the afternoon, the small mill takngs. No attention at all was paid to bullish news, such as the early strengta of Liverpool or the general complaint of soil conditions in the belt. In the early afternoon the market made new low levels where it stood 56 to 103 points under the close of yesterday. October was least affected by the selling, which argues that an increasing number or buyers are picking that month as the best purchase now in sight.
 President Wilson's definite refusal to take a hand in the embargo matter started the selling and offerings were in- creased by uncertainty over what 10 eN- pect from Congress which Is now con sidering amendments to the cotton lu- lures act According to Washington dis patches the one result aimed at is the elimination of grades below low middling from the list of tenderable grades. Mill takings were disappointingly small, Hes ter placing them at 145,0O0 bales against 245 900 this week last year and 220,ooo thls week two years ago. We cannot help thinking that today's decline fully uls- counts all bearish features now known.
 Lowest levels were reached toward the close when the trading months were 6S 10 112 points off The close was practically at the lowest. Shepard & Gluck
