COTTONST|LL FINDING NEW
 tow LEVELS

The steady and rapid descent in cotton values continued today, with new low marks for 1our years being recorded in both spots and futures, .ha day net loss approAImating $3.50 per bale.
 January New Orleans broke under the l6-cenJ mark ttaae, and the only IL cen, quotation felt ca ta4 04aId was Decem CT New York, Hh.ch wus fife points over that figure at the clo e. d net loss for the day of O. p5ints. January New York closed at l6.45 cents, down Co points. Decem4 CT New Orleans lost 72 points, closing at 1928 cents, and January m the same market closed at 1o.S4 cents, 66 points down. Spots in New York were unchanged at 1850 cents and p points lower in New Orleans at 17.25 cents.
 Prices on the Conway market reach ed the lowest cub slnce 1916 this at- lernoon, when strict middling cotton was selling for 13 l-2 cents. A few bales of specially good cotton sold III lHC dt lC NSlllS, WIiiIu was the top, but the bulk of sales was at II cents and below, with lowest prices prevailing this afternoon. Re- celpts both yesterday and today have Deen heavy, many of the farmers ap- parently having abandoned hope for a turn for the better in prlces.
 Discussing the present situation, the Memphis Commercial Appears cot ton expert says in today paper:
 Tt has more than once been stated in thls column, and IS here reiterated, that 1t IS possible to depress cotton contract values to 10 cents and even lower. There is nothing to prevent 1t. Nothing to stop decnne but bear lsh interest itself. The market is without backbone And the whole thing resolves itself in question of bearlsh expectancy until there is a revival of demand for actual cotton.
 Presently, no matter what may be the future course of prices, spot cot ton quotations are merely nominal be- cause they represent neither the pTlCe dL WHICH any COHSlQeTdUle part of the crop could be bought, nor a price at which it could De sold In futures it IS mere matter of specu- latlon. It might just as well be done With deck of cards or a roulette wheel, or the commodity dealt in, a shoal of codfish instead of bales of cotton. But custom, certain conven- tions and preference have ordained a blackboard and some chalk marks.
 No man is in position now to pre- dict when there will be a revival of spot demand. Few even amongst the most sanguine now look for it before the turn of the year. As yet there are no signs that good demand will de- velop even then, but statistics relat- ing to consumption and present mill stocks rather favor the view that inn provement may be expected in demand if not in prices"
 The price of cottonseed declined again on the Conway market today, $22 per ton being the market here as compared with $24 yesterday.

LEWIS REGAINS TITLE

Joe Stccher is Downcd After 1 Hour,
 fl Minutes and 56 Seconds of Pun
 shing Work-Victor Uses Headlock.
 New York, Dec. 14.-,A new worlds champion wrestler was crowned at the Seventy-first Regiment Armory last night when Ed Strangler Lewis of San Jose, Cal. threw Joe Stecher in their title bout. Lewis pinned the shoulders of the former champion to the mat after one hour and forty-one minutes and ffty-six seconds of hard and desperate struggling on the part of both men. He pinned Stecher's shoulders to the mat with a head and hip lock.
 This was the climax of fully ten minutes of as desperate wrestling as has been seen in New York in many years and the great crowd was held almost breathless while the two bis men tugged at each other with their favorite holds. Lewis with his deadly head lock and Stecher with the scis- sors hold which he made famous.
 Lewis finally conquered Stecher after he had worn him down with a series of seven head locks clamped on in a rapid succession just as quickly as the farmer boy would break and get free. Stecher finally became so weak and exhausted from the punishment he was subjected to that when Lewis finally got a head and hip lock, the former champion could not resist his opponent and was rolled over onto his shoulders while the crowd rose in a tumult to acclaim the new cham pion.

ARMENIAN GIRLS
BRANDED BY TURKS
VICTIMS RETURN FROM LONG CAPTIVITY
WITH THEIR FACES HEAVILY TAT
TOOED.
Written by William T. Ellis and pub
q liShed in New York Herald

Written by William T. Ellis and pub
lished in New York Herald.
: Branded women-such are the Ar
meanians now returning from captiv-
ity to the Arabs and the Kurds
OF tragic human interest is the
plight of these victims of the Turk
ish deportations. They may be found
in increasing numbers, scattered
among the Armenian communities OF
Asia Minor, to which they have re-
turned after nearly five years Of en-
forced exile, Were it not for the pat
riotic resolution of their fellow Ar,
menians to regard these. girls and
women as martyrs of the race theIT
fate would be horrible to contemplate
All the world knows how the. Turks
Kurds, Arabs and other peoples,
took their pick of the girls and young
women from among the deported Ar
menians, who had been sent into
"exile" that the race might die a
natural" death rather than be mas
sacred am not going to rehearse the
horrors of those days. Literally thous-
ands Of Armenian girls were forcil,ly
made members of Moslem households:
and some were legally married to the
men who had secured them.
Among the Kurds and Arabs it is
the custom to tatto the faces of the
women. 1t is thought that their beauty
is thus EXCHANGED. Designs on fore
head, lips, chin and cheeks are some
times only few blue spots, and some
times an elaborate design. The Arme-
MAN girls were subjected to the GUS
tom Of the people amidst whom they
had been taken.
Armenian women do not wear the
veil, SO their faces are exposed to pub
lie gaze Markings are thus apparant
to every observer. Since tattooing is
not at all used in Western Asia Minor
the girl with features so ornament
ed" is proclaimed to friend and
stranger as a former inmate of
Moslem home. Her story is written
Enthusiastically Even although Arme
MAN communities are agreed that
these returned refugees should be
treated as~deserving Oh" special hoaar'

Because of what they have suffered
for being Armenians, the consciou Is
ness of being branded is not whole
some. A sensitive woman snrlnks
from il as from death Curious and I'M
feeling questions keep the fact alive.
Many Of these Armenian girls re-
sort to burning to obliter2te the hate
full sign-manual of their Moslem cap
tiyity. They endure the pain and the
ensuing disagreement if only they
may get rid of the blue brands Of the
Redouin and the Kurd. Unfortunately
this drastic treatment not only leaves
terrible scars, but it also tells its own
tale as plainly as the tattoo marks
themselves.
With the party Of Americans who
travelled with me across Asia Minor
were young Armenian girl and her
brother, homeward bound to sister,
the only survivor Of the family. The
Girl was really beautiful. Her features
were regular, her skin was clear, her
color good. She had not become
hardened by her captivity and her
face was modest and winsome!t Be
cause of her beauty she had been itet-
tooed with unusual elabOrateness or
design by the women Of the Ktfdish
household where she had been kept.
AS our train drew east of the Tai
rus Mountains her appearances eX-
cited more and more comment. She
was a visible advertisements of$ the
deporations. Crowds would some
times gather when she appeared at
the door of the box car. Oriental fash
ion, there was no diffidence about
asking questions of her. On her part

.Fsc. .I i
of the Armenians these were really
sympathetic. But poor Eliza under
went severe ordeal between Ara IA
and Afium Kara Hissar.
She promised me to go TO the mis-
sionary doctor for possible .efdce-
rent of the f. cial decoration, though
she had planned to burn them off her
self. Her features were so completely
covered that the resultant scars
would hfdeously dfsfigure her. Ply
sicians had told me that there is no
way known to them for the removal
of tattooing without trace, and if this
is so the fate of thousands Of Arme-
Man girls is pitiable.
Face branding is not the worst that
has<happened to the Armenian deport-
ees. Stories from the Near East have
dwelt SO exclusively upon the horrors
of hunger and homeless that little has
been said about the worst fate that
has come to the Armenians as a result
CT the persecution. This is the effect
upon their spirits.
Myriads of Armenians, have been
branded in their souls. Many or most,
Of the girls in captivity, for instance,
have neither sought nor desired de-
liverence. They prefer to remain in
the Incidence of Moslem harem life;
they have become Moslems in reality.
This is the deepest wound the Turks
have made upon Armenia. True, onc2'
free, most of the liberated girls again
become Armenians in spirit; but their
real life has been crippled. Only a
Hawthorne or q Hugo could write ms
aspect of the Armenian tragedy.
Speaking generally, it is the con
sensus among relief workers 1h:.t
there has been inevitably a great
slump in the character of the Arme-
mans who have been deportees and
refugees. The men, once the hardst
working race in the Near East, have
lost their spirit of industry. Hopeless
despair.has Impoverished. the souls Of
a, host of them The women are read
Ter to work than their husbands and
sons.
4 Also, I was told by. Gregor'dn
priests and protestant Armenian pas
tnrs, there has. been @ grave decline
in the religious faith and ~nte. est of
the Deople. The spiritual fervor that
marked many Armenians in the carl
Ter stages Of the prosecutions has now
been succeeded by numbness AMI IN
difference. Z, Once a notably GhaSte
people, the animal-like conditions Of
life into which the deportation has
forced Them have resulted in serious
moral deterioration.
All of which is laid to the door of
the Turks as the crown of Their at
rocities they have smitten and brand
ed a nation in its soul. 'r.>-''-
