ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. 81
"This splendid isolation of the
United States from the rest of the
world is playing havoc with bust

Ohio, chairman of the national
Democratic committee in 1920, and
manager of the campaign Of Jas. M.
Cox for president, told a representa-

morning.
what congress needs land have
been a member of that body it a
strong man like Roosevelt, Wilson
or Jimmy Cox to tell the members
what to do and make them do it," he
continued.
Congress is a large, unwieldy
body of men trying to please, hop
ing to be returned and looking for
patronage. They need president
who will command them and lead
the way" said the prominent Demo
crat.
Mr.. White added that Germany
could pay and that England can col
lect, but splendid isolation" on the
part of America is not helping the

FRENCH CAVALRY
QUELLS THREAT OF
DISORDER IN RUHR
Ruhr Railroad Traffic Is
Practically at StandstiIl.
Strike Extended to Co
bIenz Bridgehead

LONDON, Jan. 28.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press -After three days of
comparative quiet, the Ruhr valley
for a time Saturday evening was
threatened with disorder, when Q
demonstration was started by
crowds of young men in Dusse orf,
but French cavalry promptly dis.
persed the youths.
Other disorders Of a more or less
minor character in various parts of
the occupied zone were quelled with
little difficulty.
Railroad traffic in the occupied
region was virtually ceased. The
strike of railway workers has beeI
carried into the Coblenz bridgehead
area almost coincidentally with the
taking over of the territory by the
French after the departure of the
American forces.
The Ruhr coal output Friday was
estimated at about 145, 900 tons, com
pared with the normal daily figure Of
approximately 100000 tons.
A tour of inspection of the occu.
pied territory has just been conclud
ed by General Weygand, -darshaf
Foch's chief of staff. He mads
known to Premier Poincare immedt
ately his observations concerning
further efforts to bring the Germans
in line with the French occupational
program.
DR.. Gruetzner, president of Rhen
ish Prussia, who, since the troops
entered the district, has been at odas
with the French authorities. mas
been warned he will be held RESPONSE
BILE for manifestations. 1t was only
on Friday he was arrested by the
French and released after being ad
: monished.
Anticipating completion Of the Gus
tom boundaries, the Germans, ac
cording to an Essen dispatch to Reu.
ters, are removing their rolling
stock as quickly as possible. Fifty
locomotives left the Ruhr for the in
terror of Germany last night. while
considerably fewer coal trucks re-
turn to the Ruhr than leave.
I Coal traffic to Germany today, the
Germans say. was $4,000 trucks
compared with 10000 normally.
The French now hold all the i'm.
portaut stations on the line running
through Dusseldorf, Duisberg and
Oberhausen. along the northern
boundary of the proposed customs
| area.

a four gallon hat. He had ban
dana around his neck and his beard
was at least two weeks old. He said
a friend of his had sent him to me,
so I figured he was all right.
He bought a pint; pulled the
cork, but hesitated and said could
you get me a little coal oil, buddy?'

ed it with the corn. Then he asked
for moth balls. 1 wanted to see how
far he'd go and went and bought
him a nickel's worth. He dumped
them all into the mixture, shook it
up and swigged in down and smack
ed his lips.
''This nearly fIoored me. Where
you from? I gasped-'border coun'

Nope he says. 'Mer Rouge

ton in the United States reached
5000, 500 bales, compared with A.
892, 672 bales during the previous sea-
son. There has been a considerable
increase in American mill consump-
ton since the beginning of the new
season on August 1, 1922.
"Consumption of American cotton
in foreign countries during the
twelve months ending July 81, 1922,
was about 100000 bales, while dur
ing the previous twelve months cot
ton mills consumed about 100000
bales of American cotton.
Exports of cotton from the Unit
ed States reached a total of 6,184.-
900 bales during the season 1922,
compared with 5,745,OOO bales dur
ing 192O-21. A comparison of ex-
ports of cotton during recent cotton
seasons with pre-war seasons shows
strikingly the reduced buying and
consuming rHwer of foreign nations
for American cotton. The average
yearly exports from the United
States during the period 1909-10 to
1875 amounted to 8,500,000 bales,
including lnters.
"The final crop estimate and the
reports of ginnings during the last
two months of the year fully con-
firmed what the trade had previously
anticipated and feared. The crop was
| another failure and the supply sit
uation more acute than for many
years. The highest prices of the
year were recorded during the last
week in December.
Much of the producers cotton OF
the 1922 crop was sold early in the
new season, not at the highest prices
of the year, but at prices, which,
when compared with the cost of pro-
ducing the crop, were better than
had been received since the infla-
! ton period of 1919 and 1920. Re
ports from the south indicate that
many old debts have been liquidated
and that those farmers who sue.
ceeded in regulating fair crop were
generally. in a better position finan-
cially than they were at the begin
ming of 1922.
"a considerable quantity of the
1922 cotton was turned over to the
cooperative marketing associations
for marketing, and it has been re-
ported that a portion of this cotton
is being held for higher prices"
