Cotton Retains
Part of Advance
Despite Realizing
Better Tone Promoted by
Better Near East Outlook;
Close Is Barely Steady, at
4 TO II Points Net Higher

For time yesterday the cotton
market showed decidedly better tone
owing to growing cheerfulness over
the situation in the Near. East and
reports that spots were being offered
less freely in the Southwest. The
former was promoted by the stronger
ruling of sterling, while the latter
found color in the fact that Southern
hedge sellig here was less active.
Offerings from the South increased,
however, as prices worked above the
21c level for December and after sell
ing at 21.1Sc for that position the
market eased off, closing at 20.94c. The
general list closed barely steady at
net advances of A to IL points.
Ihe opening was steady at a decline of
10 points in response to relatively easy
cables. There appeared to be quite q
good many overniht selling orders around
the ring, brought in. probably by dis
TO the government crop figures. Before
these, offerings were absorbed active

Imperial Wizard of Ku KIux Kan Defiant
Declares Mask Will Never be Alobished-Speaks Dispar- agingly of Gov. Allen of Kansas.

Washington, Dec 19.-EnFllasizing that he had not sought the conversation he had yesterday with Governor Allen, of Kansas, Dr. II. w. Evans, of Dallas, Texas, imperial wizard of the ku klux klan, said today he listened to MT. Allen two or three minutes in which he said he Ias in hearty sympathy with the klan principles, but registered some objection to the klan regalia.' The xlan mask will never be taken off, he asserted, saying it was part of the or ganization's lodge regalia and never would be abolished.
 q came to Washington on important business said Dr. Evans and had no intention of wasting any time with MT. Allen. It makes little or no differ ence what Governor Allen says, and what he does means even less.'
 The new imperial wizard of the invis-
 fble empire he'd confabs with klan off cials in his hotel here today, but no hint of what was considered was dis closed He was accompanied to Wash
 ington by a group of high officials of the order.
 .'HThe spirit Of klan-kraft." he said,
 ''has enwTaIIped the United States in
 mantle of love for country which de- signing and ambitious politicians cannot
 break, and in few brief years the in- VI lLS hldi N III AdhO oO GEI-
 gulfed the thought of the country that
 we can expect intelligent legislation from the congress of the United States. which will drag down the white flag of supine inertia from our legislative haRs and raise in it's place the militant flag of red. white and blue, which means the. things nearest the heart of every real American. . (" -- ."t takes a few men like MT. Allen to prove the justice of klan kraft We are profoundly grateful to Mir. AN=H for the sacrifice he has made in re4e- gating hitnsef to political oblivion. in the stand he has. taken to oppose those I men of America who have pledged
 their votes,. their money. their sacred | honor and their lives, if necessary, to I maintain our national honor unim- peached unstained, untainted ana uA- ! sulIied by the foul breath of alien i1- i fiuence.'
 In declaring the. mask never would be abolished by the Ian. Dr. Evans 1 said the organizations membership would become known eventually | through the extension of civic activities ! of the klansmen. Asserting that the Nlan had not been responsible for al- legged criminal activities in Louisiana he added he was willing that the nSe 1 or death of the Kan should stand upon the 192 record Of cr:aninality in either Louisiana, or any of F other states ir

ceptable. Tchitcherin made a dramatic plea to the world masses. He said Rus sia was convinced the worlds people were back of Russia in her attempts to secure international justice. He also bitterly condemned what he called "marinism," adding q mean the sea militarism which hopes to strangie Russia"
 An additional fear of the Turks which the allies must calm tomorrow is that that with which they surround the pro- posed international commission to super wise control of the straits. The Turks claim the commission will be inquisitorial In nature, that it may infringe Turkish sovereignty, and. finally, that it may be used as club by some powers to threat en Turkey. Hence their ambition to have general guarantee pact signed at Lau-
 same which will assure the neutrality of the straits and prevent acts of hostility in Turkish territorial waters.
 The Turks tonight seemed unruffled. They did not appear at all impressed by the, ultimatum talk with which the Lau-
 same atmosphere is charged.
 It was pointed out tonight that fail ure3of the straits negotiations would not necessarily imply failure on other vital matters of the Lausanne agenda, one of which is arranging peace between Greece and Turkey and between Turkey and the allies.
 Marquis Curzon today informed M Batrere of the rench delegation that as a spirit of friendship for France the Brit ish government had abandoned the idea 1 of having the Lausanne treaty written in i the English and French language. He agreed that French alone should be used As France has made no request in this 1 connection, the English initiative creat-
 ed an exceedingly pleasant feeling among
 the Frenchmen, who like to have their !. language regarded always as the lang uage of diplomacy.
