not to be appointed chief Of the general
staff. This intimation came to them
| very direct. This puts an end to the
\ persistent rumor that Gen. Edwards was
| to receive this appointment following
| his confirmation as major general.
Democratic senators who opposed the
promotion Of Gen. Edwards said that
they had understood that former Secre-
| tary Baker Of the War Department had
said during the last administration that
the reasons for the failure to send in
Edwards name and the cause OF his
recall as commander of the 26th Di-
vision were on file in the War Depart
ment and could be found when wanted.
They admitted, however. that the re-
| ports on Gen. Edwards may have been
! informal in character and some by word
of mouth. While they had none OF the
i details, their general understanding was
! 20 the effect that Gen. Edwards had
not co-operated with the commanding
officer as Gen. Pershing desired.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska and
Senator Mcclellan Of Tennessee. It is
reported, are two OF the democrats
who voted against Gen. Edwards.
Senator Myers OF Montana, demo-
Gratis. voted for him. it is said. Two
other democrats on the committee,
Senator Sheppard Of Texas and Sena-
tor Fletcher OF Florida, declined to
say how they had voted.
Naaxr~ IN Ua~m>
Democratic senators said the issue
raised was whether the Senate
should confirm for promotion an
ofYicer whom Gen. Pershing had re-
lieved from command, virtually on
the eve OF battle. The democratic
opponents were said to have taken
the position that under these cir.
cumstances the administration was
not justified in striking the name of
Brig. Gen. Omar Bundy from the list
Of officers for promotion and substi-
tuting Gen. Edwards.
Secretary Weeks was said to have
taken the position that the promo
tions were q matter purely OF 5udg-
ment, He was said to have asserted
that. considereing all Of the facts and
circumstances. his honest judgment
had dictated the recommendations
made in President Hardings list.
Reasons for Other Decisions.

said to- have told the committee that
their age was the entire compelling
reason Neither has had barely more
than twenty-five years service. the
minimum limit fixed in the recent
Army reorganization law for promo

Of much longer service might be
barred from ever attaining the rank

said to have declared, if Coils. AoSeley ,

in any event is assured. Secretary
Weeks is understood to have declared.

Foreign Minister Simons explained
in the reichstag today why Chencei-

nogage President Harding as mediator
in the reparations question. DR.. ST.
mons admitted that they had tried to
obtain the services of other neutral
countries: but had failed. He would
not name the countries for diplomatic
reasons" Finally he and the chan
cellor overcame the difficulties due
to the technical state of war with
America which still exists and sent
the note to Washington.
He added that the cabinet fs now
debating a new plan for reparations
which he will announce in the reichs- :
tag in a day or so. The principal
points of the new plan are the recon-
struction of France and an internd-
tional loan.

BRITISH SHIPS FIND
COTTON SLACK

LONDON. Sept 15.-The London
Times, in its financial notes, says that
although considerable buying of cot
ton has lately been reported from the
United States, there has been no cor
responding activity here in freights
as is usual at this time of year, ad-
ding:
Before the war the chartering of
British steamers for whole cargoes of
cotton would have proceeded daily at
London during September. This year
there appears is yet no sign of such
business The demand for tonnage to
load cotton was one of the factors to
which ship brokers were accustomed
TO look before the war for the usual
autumn revival in freight market"
The Times explains that to some
extent this absence of chartering is
undoubtedly accounted for by the load
ing at gulf ports of many American
seamers for Europe with general car
goes.
