Liebknecht has not yet succeeded in
overthrowing the Ebert government in
! Berlin, but the independent socialist
members of the government have been
ousted, and 1t is now reported that
Ebert and Scheidemann are In secret
agreement with the leaders of the bour-
geois party to combat the extremists,
who include the Independents, the
Spartacides and the sailors. The bour-
geois leaders, it Is said, are convinced
that civil war cannot be averted.
The Spartacus group, assembled in
congress, howled down a proposition
made by Liebknecht that they take
part in the election of members of the
new national assembly. Led by Rosa
Luxembourg, they declared the meet
ing of the assembly must be prevented
at all costs. Radek, bead of the boil
shevist mission to Germany, tells the
Spartacides he would welcome an en-
tente occupation Of Germany, because
the invaders would become infected
with bolshevism and spread Its doc
tries to the west. Kurt Eisner, pre-
mier of the republic" of Bavaria, IL
said to be siding with the independent
socialists against Ebert, and linden
burg is so discouraged by the disorder
in Berlin that he has said he would
support the occupation Of the city by
the British. -

Returning from England to Paris
early in the week, President Wilson
left for Italy Wednesday evening.
When he arrived in Rome he was well
coined by the king and queen and
host of other notables, and the Roman
population gave him so enthusiastic O.
reception that it was evident they had
made up their minds to Guido the Lon--
doners and ParisIans. The streets and
buildings were lavishly decorated and
the freedom of the Eternal City was
bestowed on the American president.
Banquets, official calls and conferen-
ces took up most of his time in Rome.
While he was in Italy, 1t is understood,
President Wilson studied carefully the
conflicting claims of Italy and the Jugo-
Slavs for possession Of the lands along
the east coast Of the Adriatic.

So far as fighting Is concerned, the
absorbing news is coming from Poland
just now. The Poles, having enthusi-
sstically welcomed the head of their
new republic, Ignace Jan Paderewski,
the famous musician, are following his
lead against the Germans on the one
side and the Russian bolsheviki on the
other. They are determined to add to
their state the province of Posen, DAN
zig and other parts of Prussia, and the
government at Berlin is equally deter
mined that they shall not lay hands on
German territory The result is a
series of conflicts, with varying re-
suits. As this is written a report comes
that a Polish army of 10000 men Is
marching on Berlin and that Gustav
NOske, member of the Ebert cabinet
in charge Of military affairs, has or
dered the Fifth German division to ad.
vance to meet the Poles.
The Poles entered Frankfort on the
Oder, so miles east of Berlin, and also
Beuthen in Prussian Silesia, and
Bromberg, In the province Of Posen. In
the city Of Posen the Poles occupied
the fortress, disarming 10000 German
soldiers, and the fighting there has
been almost continuous. Many Jews
are said to have been slain.

The German authorities admit the
Polish question is serious and that it
will be difficult to prevent the estab-
lishment Of free Poland. The Poles
are masters of most of the towns and
have cut all means of communication.
1t Is on their eastern borders that the
Poles are having the worst time. There
they are contending not only against
the bolshevik armies in their sweep
through Lithuania, but also against
the Ukrainians, who are disputing with
the Poles the possession of the south
ern part Of Lithuania. General Pill
sudtky commands a rather small army
of loyal Poles, and General Haller,

bc stated but as compared with the amount consumed by the mills mauG- facturing automobile tire fabric it is probably small.
 A glance at the above figures of pro- duction and imports of long staple show that we have been using a great ly increased quantity each succeeding year. The principal demand for this has come from the manufacturers Of automobile tires A considerable amount has also been used for eXpen- Give knit goods and laces.
 The general situation is this: We have restricted the imports from Egypt: the ravages of the boil weevil in the Sea Island fields have cut the yields there; the government has used some long staple cotton for air plane and balloon fabric and for gas mask cloth.
 To offset these demands and reduc- tions of the supply we have q greatly reduced demand from the principal source of use. the automobile tire fab ric mills. since most of these have been diverted to other uses for government needs. the demands for the more eX- pensive laces and knit goods is less; q greatly increased crop of American Egyptian cotton: carryover of con- siderable portion of last years croE and the use of lower grades of cottn by tho mills in order to meet the rising ! prices of raw material. In other words many are trying to meet competitiOg by using an inferior grade of cotton
Arizona republican., 1919-02-20

rather than raising the price of goods to the consumer. As an example, two mills alone are said to have curtailed the use of cotton with staple of 1 l 4 or longer S0.000 bales and increased the use of cotton of shorter staples an equal amount. In this connection. it should not be lost sight of that the production of cotton not classed Us long staple, but running 1 Is to 1 1-i was 1.21S.0O0 bales last year and 267.- GOO bales more than in 1916 Of the staples running over l IA inch but not included in the American- Egyptian or Sea Island. the production last year was 141,000 bales, more than double the production of the previous year. These are the staples that are being substituted for the Americana Egyptian cotton to a large extent. These are the staples that sell at 3S to 47 cents in markets where Sea Island sells for 72. These are the staples most in demand al the present time and undoubtedly will continue in greatest demand until mills manufacturing tire fabric are back to their normal work on a 100 per cent basis.
 With the cessation of hostilities new factors are presented. The mills which have been manufacturing automobile tire fabric will naturally be released from government contracts and will as soon as possible get back to 100 per cent nQrmal work. Just how soon this will be Is problematical. First, the gov ernment has not so far as we know in- timated when this change will take place. Possibly the needs of the army may require for some time to come army cloth. duck and other cotton goods. When the mills are again at liberty to take uN their normal work they will still be handicapped by lack of skilled labor which has been di- verted to government needs, so that we cannot expect normal production of the mills using long staple cotton, un- til a large part of the overseas force has returned, and that may be six months or two years according to diff ferent authorities.
 With this uncertainty as to when the cotton will be used, there is at least a partial explanation of the reason why buyers hesitate. To buy cotton the l bulk. or at least a considerable part of
 which may. and probably will not be

 In a consideration of the several factors that combine to make the market for long staple cotton uncer- tain and the price a gamble with the grower looking for the next deal anl wondering whether it will be pair nf aces or d deuce it is well Go consider first of all the several types of Ions staple cotton and the uses of thes, varieties which have created de- mands. and the present as we'll as past crops and supplies
 Of the strictly long staple varieties or cotton. we may roughly group them into three divisions the Egyptian. imported from Egypt. the Arizona Egyptian. now known as the Ameri- can Egyptian. and the Sen Island.
