NEW ADVANCE COTTON
 85 POINTS ]?

Yesterdays sharp loss was not only wiped out in the cotton markets today but a nice additional gain was left over to be added to Mondays 100- point advance, making a net rise for the first three days of the new year of 115 to 130 points.
 New York January contracts closed this afternoon at 1885 cents, 87 points net higher, while March ad- vanced 90 points, closing at 14.95 cents.
 On the New Orleans market Jan uary and March each registered a net advance of 85 points, January closing at 14.15 cents and March at 1425 cents.
 New York spots were advanced 85 points to 1885 cents for middling.
 The local market continued dull today, with receipts totaling probably less than a dozen bales. Of the few sales made 10 cents was about the top for the best cotton. Lower grades have been selling here at anything from 5 cents to 9 cents.
 The price of cottonseed remains unchanged at SIS per ton.

PARIS THINKS SOUTH EUROPE
 SCENE OF WAR
(By United Press)

Paris, Jan. 5.-trench military eX- perts, as a result of recent develop ments in the Balkan states, forecast an immense spring drive by the Rus sian Bolsheviki into Roumania and Galicia. Critics have watched with mlsgivings the mobilization of Rus sian troops on the western frontiers of Russia, developing a mobile field force which could strike Roumania and Galicia with great power when spring weather permits operations
 A new European war with various nations entering and dragging others into conflict is seen as a result of the huge concentration of Bolshevik mili- tary strength, chiefly in Bessarabia, which was recently assigned to Rou- mania. Formerly a province of south Russia, Bessarabia has become the focal point for war clouds. Kishinev is it's capital It borders on the Black Sea and occupies the narrow strip of land between the important Dneister and Pruth Rivers.
 Other Bolshevik forces are being gathered more to the north with an apparent purpose of striking at Gal cia.
 Diplomats fear that other nations may be toppled into the conflict, since it is now realized that Turkey and Russia may enter into an alliance for the purpose of subjugating Arme- mia. The recent allied decision fixing Turkish boundaries has stirred the Ottoman empire and has left it, ac- cording to diplomats, an easy prey to advances from Russia.
 The possibility of an alliance be- tween Roumania and Greece may also be one outcome of the present tangle The reigning houses of Greece and Roumania may soon be joined by a royal marriage, which would make it almost certain that Greece would come to Roumania's aid in the event of at tack by the Bolsheviki.
 With Greece and Roumania allied, the probability of a new Balkan eX- plosition is generally accepted France is openly preparing to financially aid Poland in the event of attack by the Bolsheviki, and credits for this pur pose already have been voted. Through alliances of a defensive nature France may thus pull other powers into the Balkan conflict and make it a Euro pean struggle.
 As estimated by French experts on recent reports, Roumania has 100000 troops mobilized and equipped for i'm mediate action.

backwater in transportation econom-
les in a study prompted by the use
of that highly modern beast of bur-
den, the caterpillar tractor, to sup
ply the Lange Koch expedition in
northern Greenland.
They wanted to see what remained
in the world of the oldest known meth
DDS of getting men and their baggage
over the ground. These are some of
the survivors they found:
