Washington, Aug. 1.-The origi- nal American draft of the league of nations covenant, sent to the foreign relations committee today by Presi- dent Wilson contains several provis- ions widely differing from the league covenant as adopted at Paris.
 The American plan provided for an executive council" similar to the "council" of the final covenant, and a body of delegates" similar to the assembly" Instead of requir- 1 ing that decisions of the council should be by unanimous vote, how ever, it was provided in the American draft that any three nations could veto any decision.
 The mandatory system of admins tering weak nations was embodied in the American proposal and it pro- vided for registration and publica- tion of all treaties. It did not con- tain the extensive provisions in the final covenant for deciding whether any question arising was information al or purely domestic in character.
 The executive council was to be made up of representatives of the great powers and a lesser number of smaller nations, while each member would be represented in the body of delegates, as under the final cove nant.
 l Naming of Delegates.
 l Whereas the selection of the small est nations represented in the coun- cil is to be made by election of the assembly under the covenant as com- pleted, the American plan proposed that they be drawn in annual rota. tion from two panels, one of which shall be made up of the representa-. l tives of the states ranking next after the great powers, and the oth. CT of the representative of the minor states, such a number being drawr from these panels as will be but ont less tha the representative of the great powers"
 Instead of having a specially ap pointed delegate, each nation would be represented in the body of dele gates by its ambassador or minister resident at the seat of the govern ment where the meetings were held The government acting as host would be represented by its foreign min ister, who would preside.
 II In virtually the same language a the final covenant, the draft would give the league power to take an. action deemed wise and effectual t. safeguard world peace, "when an. war or threat of war" arose. I'm

SHubERTS SUE STARS OF STAGE
 FOR $500,0oo
Action, Similar to Danbury Hat. ters' Case, Brought Against
 Actors.

New York, Aug. 11.-Suits for $5OO,OOO for damages alleged to have resulted from the strike called by the Actors Equity association were filed by the Winter Garden company district court here late today against nearly 300 of the country's most prominent stage and screen stars.
 The complaint, which charges the actors with conspiracy, follows the general lines of the famous Dan- bury Matters case in which the hat ters, member ofaa labor union, were sued successfully for $220,000 and many of the workmen lost their homes through attachments to satis- fly the judgments.
 The Producing Managers Protect i've association, in announcing filing of the suits asserts efforts would be made to attach bank accounts and property of the defendants unless bonds were posted to cover the am- ount of the damages sought. No statement was forthcoming as to whether other managers affected by the strike would file similar suits.
 The screen actors were named as defendants, it was explained, on pre- cedent set in the Danbury matters case, where it was held by the court that individual members of a labor organization are responsible for the acts of it's officers, although the members may have no connections with the case at issue.
 Among the actors named as de- fendants were: Sam Bernard. Eddie Foy, Francis K. Bushman, Richard Carle, Douglas Fairbanks, William Courtney, William s. Hart, Laurette Taylor, J. Forbes Robertson, Cyril Maude, Robert Edeson, Blanche Ring, William Farnum. Dustin Farnum, FL sic Ferguson, Trixie Friganza. De- wolf Hopper, Wilton Lackaye. Frank Mcintyre, Andrew Mack, J. Hartley Manners, Robert Mantell. Ala Nazi- nova, Guy Gates Post, Trvone Pow CT, Julius Tanner, Fred Stone, Otis Skinner, Julia Sanderson, Julian Elt- ings. Leo. Ditrichstein and William B. Mack
 For the first time since the strike was called, actors and actresses to- night appeared in massed forma- tion on Broadway.
 Earlier in the day, the strikers paraded through the financial dis trict, delivering addresses and to- night this verbal attack was trans ferred to Broadway. Even the mana gers had to admit the attack was diversified. From history of what the profession had done during the war an actor suddenly would switch to amusing monologues, and when he appeared exhausted an actress would replace hm, breaking into | song,

Retail dealers in Washington will

the task of collecting the signatures

COLONEL VICTIM
OF WAR. BOURNE
Former Senator Thinks De-
votion to War-work
fastened End.

Although Col Roosevelt did not
don a uniform, II is hardly too much
to say that he was a victim OF
the war" former Senator Jonathan
Bourne said yesterday.
His devotion to war work entailed
exertions on his part that undoubt-
edly hastened his death, and it may
be Justly said of him that he gave ms
life for his country, as truly as II ne
had died on the battlefield"
Ex-senator Bourne stated that Col.
Roosevelt had not only been among
the first to offer his services to the
country. but that he had organized
an entire brigads of men outside OF
draft age eager to follow him into the
thick OF battle.
The fact that his profrer was not
accepted by those in power at Wash
ington does not detract in the least
degree from his patriotism and sacri-
fee that inspired him in making IL.
Although unable to go to Europe him
self. he was quick to give his en-
thusiastic assent to his four sons en-
gaging in the fight. One of them met
a tragic death at the hands of the
enemy and the others have received
wounds that testify to their personal
daring. His grief at their suffering
was intensified by the thought that
he was not permitted to share their
dangers"

how much OF this s1o0O,eOO they are

men. The public is especially inter-
ested in this matter in view of the
fact that many OF the trainmen claim
they are not getting any more actual
wages under the new scale than be-
fore the new scale was put into effect.
That is, their runs are so arranged
that they have to hang around
hours for which they are not paid in
order to make a run of a few hours
at the increased wage per hour.
The public will demand to be in

BANNER COTTON
CROP FOR 1918
Value Of Staple and By-pro-
ducts Amount to Nearly
$1,000, 900, 900.

Cotton and its by-product, cotton
seed, produced nearly $2,ooo.ooo.ooo Of
wealth for American planters for the
year ending July 81, 1918.
The crop of 1917. amounting TO H.
So2.375 bales of 500 pounds each' how
ever. fell below that of the previ-
1915 production, last years crop was
smaller than that of any year from
1910 to 1914 ..s-
Demoralized, market conditions. fol-
lowing the outbreak of the war had
the effect of cutting down cotton
planting. At least per cent Of last
years acreage was abandoned.
Enormous Seed Value.
The value of the crop to growers
vas 81 $50, 6900o0 In addition, 5,040, 900
tons of cotton seed amounted in value
TO s333, $50, 900.
These figures are contained in an
advanced digest of an official bull
letn prepared by experts of the De-
partment of Commerce soon to be
issued by the Census Bureau.
During the year ended last July the
mills OF the United States consumed
6,5s6.is9 running bales of cotton. In
addition 1,1lS,Si0 bales of Iinters were
consumed.
Exports during the yearly period
were less than for any preceding year
since 1898, falling below those of 1871
by nearly 25 per cent They totaled
only 4,6i1,023 500-pound bales. which is
less than half the quantity of cotton
exported in the fiscal year 1914.
Exported cotton went chiefly Ia
Great Britain. France and Italy, with
fairly large quantities to Japan, Can.
ada and Mexico. The latter three
countries were the only countries the
exports to which during 1913 exceeded
those during the preceding years.
Exports Fell on.
The official .records show that
Massachusetts, still retains its su.
premacy in cotton manufacture. The
consumption by its mills was 1,493, ,Ils
bales. including linters- North Caro-
lima followed with I.1S,3l4 bales
South Carolina with So, ,532 bales and
Georgia with SsO,395 bales. 1t is
pointed out that the mill consumption
OF these four States alone represents
nearly three-fifths of the total for the
country.
Exports of cotton seed Of both oil
and cake were also very much less
than during any other preceding sim.
liar period in recent years.
