fore the matter is laid before the con- ference"
 According to MT. Sternberg. com mittee to draft plans for the orgari&a- ton Of a permanent southern cotton association will meet tomorrow also. The committee is composed of five members, each of whom is from cot ton state. The object of the assooia- ton. he said. is to eonfine it's member ship to farmers, merchants and bank CTS. and to regulate the cotton industry in the south.
 "The two associations" continued MT. Sternberger, "are expected to re- lieve many serious conditions, one of tho most important being the scarcity of bottoms to carry cotton to markets where cotton already is in great de- mand. Another difficulty is faulty financing, which will be obviated. Here tofore, such countries as Italy. Spain, Rumania and the Czecho -Slovakia countries have proposed to buy cotton with the understanding that their re- spective governments would guarantee the purchase; but they were unable to Fpay cash. The new corporation will assume the risk of financing such deals in the future.r
 Between 300 and 400 delegates are expected at the opening of the confer ence Wednesday.

 Booker Washington

At meeting yesterday of Tuskegee in- stiute graduates and who are organizing for, the uplift of their race, oscar w Adams delivered an address on the spirit of Booker T. Washington and a con- sciousness of the times.
 He stated that the race had had no greater example for its guidance than the life work of the late Booker T. Wash ington, who had left q working code by which the race might continue to advance and make desirable citizens.
 He especially emphasized the fact that the greater amount of their work lay in the south, and that 90 per cent of their material and religious advancement were here; that they shouls be conscious of the times and not be destroyed by fool ish, unreasonable, and unguarded pas sions. He said that they should espe- cially cultivate the friendship of the white man, nc matter how hard their lot might seem, and not his enmity; that they should first some before the bar of public opinion with .iean hands and honest hearts,"
 He closed by congratulating the club on it's endeavor and entreated them to cooperate with the white man and not to be influenced by race agitators who had not the slightest knowledge of the conditions and possibilities that lay be- fore them.

COMMANDER SILENT

Trepassey. N. F., May 12.-If Com mander John P. Towers, director of the navy's transatlantic flight, planned 8 hop off" today of the NC-1 and NC-3 for the Azores, disturbance prevail ing late this afternoon in the north Atlantic compelled him to change his mind.
 Commander Towers, however, is maintaining silence with regard to his plans for the start, merely saying he would like to have the NC4 join the division before the start, but that ne is unwilling to sacrifice favorab bic weather in waiting.
 The Americans were confident tha. the meteorological--co which caused them to hug their base would keep the British aviators, Harry C.. Hawker and Capt. Frederick F. Rayn- ham, land bound at St. Johns.
 Indications tonight were that the weather will be unfavorable again to- morrow.
 Whether Lieut. Commander A. c. Read of the NC-4 will attempt to make up the loss of time resulting from his enforced descent at Chatham, Mass, by flying direct to Trespassey without a stop at Halifax was said to be un- known here. The only word so far re- ceived from the NC-4 was that the seaplane had ridden out gale at Chatham and was in good condition to resume here journey as soon as weather permitted.

 American officers say the common peo' pie in the occupied area have widely divergent view, but that, as a whole, they appear more or less stunned. Many of them seem crushed but others are showing a spirit of bravado.
 Several German officials are quoted as were than they had expected, but al- though it would be necessary for the German delegates to argue against some of the conditions imposed, they felt there was little else to do but sign.
 One American who had circulated free ly among the civilians reported that none of them expected that Germany would accept the terms. They said they could not see how the people would be able to pay the indemnities demanded if their commerce was restricted to certain limits and all their colonies confiscated, and in addition Germany had to cede. territory belonging to the mainland.
 They asserted furthermore that the in ternal resources of Germany alone were insufficient to permit of the payment Of indemnities for Generations to come. Many of the people asked what would be done in the event that Germany should decline to accept the terms.
