MANY THEORIES ADVANCED
Cause of British Submarine Disaster
 Remains Mystery
By Associated Press

By Associated FfoSS
 London, January 23.-Reyond the fact that it seems established that the Brit ish submarine Ks was not rammed. there is nothing yet to explain the cause of the disaster to the submersl- ble off Lands End last Thursday This was the first British naval disaster since the armistice was signed. and the worst submarine accident to the coun- try in peace times.
 Many theories concerning the dfsap- pearance of the underwater boat are being advanced, but although an offi- cial inquiry into the disaster is being held aboard the battleship Queen Eliza beth, 1t is doubtful whether anything more concerning the fate of the k-S ever will be known. Wreckage mas been found near the spot where the submarine was last seen.
 It Is surmised the vessel may nave been damaged by an internal explosion or by the great pressure of the water at the depth of 500 feet. where the craft is supposed to lie.
 Salvage is considered impossible, and 1t Is doubtful whether 1t will be possi- ble to obtain a photograph or the wreck, as was done in the case or the steamer Laurentic when that vessel was sunk in the Lough Swilly The official list of those on board the K-5 issued tonight. confirms the previous estimate of six officers and ol mon on board

By Associated Press

New York, January 2s.-Great men are the "ambassadors of Providepce sent to reveal to their fellow men their unknown selves" Calvin Coolidge. wee President -elect declared in an eulogis- tic address on the life of Theodore Roosevelt tonight before the Womens Roosevelt Memorial association.
 There is something about them bet ter than anything they do or say he said If measured at all, they are 10 he measured in the responsive action of what others do or say. They come ana ro. in part a mystery. in part the sim plest of all experience, the compelling, influence of the truth. They leave no successor. The heritage of greatness descends to the people"
 Ut was not in the time of military peril, but of civil peril. that the for mer President performed his most val uable services for America" the speaker said. "The great peril to our institu- tions does not lie in direct assault upon them nor will it come from those who, with evil intent, strive for tneir destruction. Disaster will come from those who probably with good inten- tions seek the private control of pub lie ation. It is an old story. known to all. but in the exercise of that eternal vigilance which they tell us Is the price of liberty. it requires constant re- iteration and no estimate of the serv- ices and character of Theodore Roose- welt can be made without the retelling of it."
 Roosevelt's last great service, he de- clared, was rousing the nation to the meaning and menace of the war to America.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
Bx Associatea Prees

New Orleans, La, January 2S- A steady decline featured the trade in cotton last week, highest prices being on Monday and lowest prices on Sat urday At the highest the trading months were II to 27 points over the level of the preceding weeks close ana and at the lowest they were 166 to ls3 points under. From the highest to the lowest there was fall of 1SS to 2O7 points,, March trading up to 1878 and declining to 1871, finally closing at 13.77. Closing quotatio were at net losses of Al to IFS points. In the spot market middling lost 50 points in the net results, closing at 14.5O.
 The January deal in New York at first was steadying influence put later worked against values, partly be- cause of the large amount Of cotton attracted on contract, and partly be- cause of the heavy liquidation on the part of holders of March long contracts who seemed to be afraid that cotton taken up on January might be re- rendered against March. Ste y periods after the first of the week were due, for the most part, to con- tinued accounts of good demand for cotton goods and to reports from vari- ous manufacturing centers of the coun- try that many mills were starting up full time. Offsetting these reports were poor cables, session after session. and the most gloomy kind of returns from the Manchester market.
 Toward the end of the week, expec- tations of large ginning figures in the report due the first thing Monday morning from the census bureau were the cause of more or less selling and it would appear that this report IS likely to be dominating influence on the opening session of the new week and possibly for some time after. Pri- vate bureau estimates of the quantity of cotton ginned to January 16 are slightly over twelve million bales against 10,307.120 to the same date last year and 1hO4S,0o0 two years ago.
 According to the estimate of 12,l4O,- 900 bales the production during this last period was 45.000 bales against 125, 900 the same period last year and 275,000 two years ago. Figures under twelve million bales would be likely to cause heavy covering of the short interest but figures above would have the tendency to increase offerings.
 Reports from cotton goods and mill centers will be closely watched be- cause of the claim made by bearish traders to ward the end of the week that the demand for goods was becom 1 ing filled up.
