Der of villages in the free city. includ-
ing Zoppot, a famous summer resort

Baltic.
At night Dantzig reminds one Of
London during the dark air raid days.
There are few and dim street lamps

Dantzig is doing her hating quietly.
There have been no Bolshevistic dis
turbances since June. Food, particu-
larly fats, was very scarce and ship
loads of supplies were going through
into Poland. Trouble started and
grew so serious that the allied mis-
sions had to order some of the food
sold to the Germans.
American and British citizens.
though not exactly welcomed. are re-
spectfully treated by the Dantzig
people generally; but the Poles are
hated with a ferocity equalled only
by hatred of the Germans in War
saw.
Both sides appear to derive a bitter
enjoyment from their grim prepara-
tions for the coming struggle.

Baker Replies to
Chamberlain Charge

When the War Department gets 1t
in for subordinate officers, the Chief
of Stan simply transfers them to some
other post for duty. and 1t sometimes
happens that they are transferred to
minor and unimportant stations" said
Senator Chamberlain yesterday fol-
lowihgja lively and heated, discussion
with Secretary Baker at a hearing Of
the subcommittee dealing with the
military injustice dispute.
Secretary Baker disclaimed this
statement and retorted: "of course.
when an officer makes statements be-
fore Congressional committees which
are not department views. you con-
clude that anything Is punishment
which happens afterward."

him four simple questions. These
questions. with their answers, are:
Question l-What is your name?
A. BILLY Pittsburgh"
Question 2-What is the name Of
your dog?
A-"Jack"
Question s-what is the name Of
your doll?"
A.-"Jean."
Question 4-what is the name Of
your pet chicken?
A.-"Whitey."
Billy Dansey. as already told. was
particularly fond of his two pets.
Jack" the fox terrier. and Whitley
hen.
Just why Billy picked one particular
hen out OF fifty upon which to lavish
his love and affection would take
more than all the wisdom Of all the
wise professors in the world to fnd
out
1t is one of the many unfathomable
secrets of the workings of a child's
mind.
It is as mysterious as the snubbing
by a little girl Of all her silk and
fluffy china dolls for an old. dirty,
misshapen and wholly inartistic doll.
We grown ups just don't understand
II can hardly pick Whitley out
from the rest of the chickens" Mrs.
Hercules Dansey, jr.. told me. But
little Billy could tell her a mile on.
And Whitley knew Billy, too.
Every morning at breakfast Billy
used to save his bread crosts for
Whitley After breakfast he used to
go out in the yard with me while
fed the chickens and Whitley used to
come proudly 'clucking' up to Billy for
his crusts.
Whitley would let Billy pick her
up and would even go 10 sleep on his
knee. The only thing Whitley would
not stand for was to be wheeled
around in Billy's express wagon"

BY HAROLD E. BEcHroL.

Dantzig, Nov. a-The town Of Dant-
zig proper Is located along the Wis.,
tula river about eight miles from the
sea. At the very mouth Of the Wis.,
tula is the free basin-the' principal
harbor, sheltered by little peninsula
dotted with warehouses.
The free basin can take two or three
first-size vessels and four or five small
ones at one time. Little ships go
up the Vistula to Dantzig proper. and
with smaller boats and barges drawn
by tugs chug through the heart of the
city on the river Mottlau, "a Vistula
tributary.
Up the Vistula near Dantzig Is an
other basin called the Kaiser basin.
which can accommodate large ships
and here are located the big German
shipbuilding yards where the giant
liner Columbus, started before the war
and recently completed, was built.
Shipping men say the free basin
will accommodate all the traffic that
is to be expected for years. and IL the
demand increases later on there Is
no limit to the harbors that can be
provided with some dredging.
The railway facilities at the wharves
and leading to them are excellent.
There are plenty Of derricks and
warehouses are in good condition. :

WORLD LOOKS TO
U. S. FOR COTTON
Holland Discusses Interna-
tioual Conference At
New Orleans.

From New Orleans have come to
Nsw York many delegates to the
world cotton conference. These dele
gates are on their way to Europe
and the number Of them would Of It.
self demonstrate the almost world
wide character Of this conferences.
Many Of the delegates who came from
abroad remained for a few days in
the South They did so to take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to inspect
the cotton Industrial plants. cotton
warehouses and terminals and also to
look at some Of the cotton fields.
Delegates Represent World Trade.
The convention, which was held In
New Orleans in the third week Of Oc-
tooer. contained as delegates nearly
all of the leading cotton manufactur-
ers Of Europe. The trade of these cot
ton manufacturers covers almost all
the entire world. In addition to these
representative men all Of the cotton
manufacturers of the United States
as well las those who cultivate cotton
and who handle It took part In this
conference. So also bankers were
there assembled and confessed that
they have been Influenced to attend
this conference by reason Of the fact
that no other agricultural crop in the
world, measured by value, entered 80
greatly into the worlds finance as
does the cotton CROP
Europe Dependent on q. 8.
There was frank admission at the
conference that the cotton industry
Of Europe Is almost entirely de-
PENDENT upon cotton cultivated upon
the Southern fields. So also II was
said that Japan would not have so
highly developed her cotton manufac-
turing industry IL 1t were not for
Southern cotton.
II was stated at the conference that
IN Great Britain there are 57,0O0,00O
spindles, almost all Of them being in
the great cotton manufacturing dis
uicts Of Lancashire. On the other
hand. although the South produces
much more cotton than any other
country In the world, nevertheless
there are In the United States only
100000 spindles occupied with weav-
Ing cotton into cloth.
The demand for cotton which comes
from all parts OF the world Is steadily
Increasing and II may be that Great
Britain will be compelled to look to
the Southern cotton planter for many
years for sufficient supply of cotton
with which to operate her $1,000, 900
spindles.
