RAW COTTON in
URGENT DEMAND
Cotton Association
FOresees Demand Greater
Than Crop Can Supply

Columbia, Dec. S1-"A painstaking
investigation by the American cotton
association through the most reliable
sources in Europe, for the purpose of
securing all possible information on
the exchange situation and the Euro
pean demand for raw cotton, conveys
the absolute certainty of a world de-
mand for 17.0o0,00O bales of American
cotton" says a statement issued to-
day by J. Skottowe Wannamaker,
president of the American cotton as
sociation.
From whence can this cotton
Gomez" asks Mr.. Wannamaker. "E,nor-
nous contracts, some at far lower
prices, both for long and short staple
cotton, must be filled. Cotton is dirt
cheap today at 81 per pound. Basis
middling."
Confirm Statements.
"The best experts of the country
have confirmed our statements that
the world is facing a shortage in raw
cotton. and that manufactured pro-
ducts from raw cotton are enormously
oversold. Europe will export more cot
ton than any previous year since the
war between the states.
TN our Investigation we consulted
the best experts in Europe and Amer
lea. We also consulted with the
largest dealers throughout Europe.
Our statement that the supply of raw
cotton has been for oversold at far
lower prices has been confirmed.
Many of the mills of America and
Europe have sold enormous amounts
of manufactured goods at fabulous
prices. Europe is alarmed over the
absolute certainty of a shortage of
raw cotton.
Direct offers have been made from
a combination of the largest European
dealers for the largest amount of raw
cotton ever sold at one time or the
largest amount ever sold in several
consecutive deals, the price offered
being far above prevailing prices. in
desperation TO secure raw cotton an
offer was made to pay to the producer
the amount now being deduced for
exchange by Europe, it being realized
that exchange conditions will finally
become normal.
Pays TO Hold Staple.
with the information in hand, on
supply and demand world wide, and
the price of the manufactured pro-
duct, I unhesitatingly urge the pro-
ducers to hold their cotton. Europe
has already exported 1.00e,eO0 more
bales this year than last. IR9 addition
to this an enormous amount Of cot
ton now in America has been sold al
ready. We are facing the absolute

Honor of Being Named
Vice-PreSident

Boston, Dec. 31.-Letters in which
Governor Coolidge declines to be a
candidate for the republican non1ina-
ton for vice president at the March
primary elections in South Dakota,
were made public at the state house
today.
The first letter was sent to Secre-
tary of State c. A Burkhart Of South
Dakota, after Governor Coolidge had
been notified that the republican state
convention in South Dakota had pro-
posed his name for president. 1t
said in part:
1T was entirely unexpected by me
that my name should have been pre-
sented to your governor. It is not
however. my desire to appear as a
candidate Tor the office Of vice
president of the United States.
Il shall, not. therefore, make the
declaration which your laws require
from a candidate. This in no way
disracts from my. deep appreciation
OF the honor which has been given me
or from my pleasure at having such
an expression of confidence from this
people Of South Dakota"
The second letter, written yesterday
to Secretary Burkhart in confirma-
ton OF a telegram to the same effect
said: -As heretofore explained, am
deeply appreciative Of the very great
honor that my fellow Americans, have
extended TO me in your state by Iheir
action. but do not wish to have my
name appear on your ballot as a cands-
date for this office"

COAL INQUIRY
PLAN COMPLETE
Presid -nt's Board Meets at
Washington and Decides to
Call for Time Sheets

Washington, Dec. 31.-After prepar-
ing the way for beginning it's investi-
cation into the bituminous coal in
dustry the presidents commission to-
day adjourned it's sessions. Rembrandt
Peale, representing the operators and
John p. White, representing the mini
ers, left for their homes to spend the
holidays, but Henry NJ. Robinson, rep
resenting the public remained to guide
the preliminary work.
The staff Of assistants already has
begun assembling statistical data for
use in the industry, but public hearings
will not begin until January T.
Tentatively the commission has de-
cided not to assemble its facts by the
process of calling coal miners and
coal operators in person to testify at
hearings and it also has decided to
visit the principal mining centers. In
stead it will send out formal Inquiries
to representative coal mining concerns
in all of the various districts of the
United States asking for cost sheets
covering operations in 1919. These will
be analyized with the assistance of the
federal trade commission and other
governmental bodies and mining en-
gineers.
When this data has all been assem-
Dleu, the representatives OI tHS Il1IGA >
and Of the operators in each field viii
be called in to present their arguments
in open hearing The central -compet-
tive district will be the first field 50
dealt with, but the other fields over
the country will be dealt with in like
manner so the commissions decision
will be made in the light of national
rather than a sectional study of the
facts.

the fact that the United States has not
fully and finally approved the peace

Paris, Dec. 31.-Although the su-
preme council today fixed January 6 as
the date for signing the protocol and
exchanging ratifications of tie German
peace treaty, complications are devel-
oping which it is thought by some
persons in council circles may again
cause the postponement of the cere-
mony of putting the treaty into effect.
1t has developed that the German
technical delegates who are here to
arrange the multitude of details con-
nected with the plebicies to be held in
territories which must decide whether
they desire to be detached from Ger
many do not appear to have full power
to act. The signing of the protocol on
January therefore may depend upon
whether the Germans can secure those
powers Immediately in order to COM
plete the arrangements which it is
thought in council circles ought to
precede the exchange of ratifications.
The fact that there are $4,000 Ger
man troops in Upper Silesia where a
plebicite is to be held. was brought
to the attention of the council, which
unanimously reached the opinion that
Germany should be informed that the
troops had better be withdrawn.
The attention of the council also was
called to the fact that Hungarian
troops continue to occupy a part of
Western Hungary which was gis-~ 10

proposed to send a mission of a4aed
officers there to supervise the with
draWal Of these troops.
The council today agreed upon the
reply to be made to Switzerlandfs ap-
plication for admission to the league
of nations with reservations. The note
informs the Swiss authorities that the
council regards the application as a
question for the league itself to pass
upon when it is organized.

EMPRESS ATTRACTIONS

Blanche Sweet in '"The Unpardon- able Sin," shown at the Empress last night and repeated for the last time tonight, has won many new admirers through the brilliant and effective work she does in portraying the dual role of Alice and Dimmy Parcot, two charming sisters, who through the hand of fate, suffer such atrocities and disgrace as only the Hun could perpetrate. It is a powerful story of brutality and injustice, a tremendous tale of love and adventure.
 In Louis Bennison, the Goldwyn Company secured the screen ''find" of the season. He plays western parts preferably. He is not in the least like the stagy cowpuncher, nor is he a typical screen "bad man." He really is a big six foot Westerner with contagious smile, a slow draWl and quick gun. He loved the part of Pohn- ny Burke in 'Oh Johnny" because he could just be his own natural self And that is why he is so convincing and so entertaining, and why you will all want to see "Oh Johnny" tomorrow night at the Empress. Those who have seen or read of the big stage suc- cess Johnny Get Your Gun," wherein MT. Bennison swept New York City from off it's staid metropolitan feet something over year ago, will need no further introduction to this big smiling boyish eyed man. Those who haven't will fond him worth meeting tomorrow night.
