NEW YORK, March 9.-The cot

cline of 8 to 20 points under over
night selling orders and local sell
ing which was inspired by the rela'
lively easy showing of Liverpool
The reactionary sentiment when ue-
veloped on the decline of yesterday
afternoon was still in evidence
around the ring, but trade interests
were BUYERS while there was rebuy'
ing by sellers of yesterday morning.
and as soon as early offerings were
absorbed the market turned steadler.
May contracts sold down to 3O.fo ana
October to 26.43 at the opening or
about SO to rs points below the hlgh
record of yesterday, but soon rallied
Is or 20 points from the lowest:
Liverpool cable advices reported
that an unfavorable opinion of the
market was growing there IN spite
of the firm statistical position.
The market firmed up shortly aft
err the opening on covering with May
contracts selling up to 31.1O and
October to 1853, or about z to 20
points net higher during the middle
of the morning. This bulge met

was not fully maintained, but the
market was quiet and steady around
midday, with the active months hold
ing slightly above yesterdays clos
ing. Private advices estimated Fall
River sales of print, cloths for the
week at 100000
The weekend figures attracted some bull
ish comment, as spinners' takinSs were
,362 bales as against lSf:1lO last year;
but they failed to stimulate buying and
the market was quiet during the middle of
the afternoon with prices shade easier on
reports of a poor spot demand in the east,
ern belt. May was selling at 30.S9c around
O'Clock or l point net lower, but October
held at Soc or points net higher.

bertha serves in lieu of sleeves as it
charmingly wells the arm TO the ell
bow. Ever so many canton crepe
frocks, absolutely sleeveless, carry out
this idea and the effect is modest and
charmingly adapted to summer gown
ing. Such is the basic idea of the
lovely silk frock mere illustrated. The
bertha effect is there, supplemented
with a sheer malines s~emi-sleeve. The
fabric OF which this gown is fashioned
Is worthy of especial comment in that
1t carries throughout its weave a drop
stitch which gives the effect of drawn
work, and this is an item of style
advanced this season.
Banciful sleeves which reveal the
arm in openings and fantastic slash
ings are a paramount factor through
out dress design. Clever ribbon ties
find favor In connection with the alb
breviated sleeve and there is no limit
to the charming effects which follow.
AS the summer advances 1t is found
that MORE holds a place of vantage

CECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES
has definitely Joined the ranks of
those Americans who are opposed to
American membership In the League
of Nations. Since his campaign state
ment In 1920, in which he and 80 9TH
er Republican leaders urged the cleo
ton of Mr. Harding as the most effec-
tive way TO obtain changes in the
that would make II safe for
the United States to Join the league,
Mr.. Hughes has observed what he
thinks is the utter failure of the
league to enforce peace and has con-
cluded the machinery set up by It for
that purpose Is impracticable.
Mr.. Hughes utterances, which 1t Is
fair TO assume had the advance APP
prevail of the President, were made in
address to the National Confer
ence of Social Work in Washington
He did not mention the league by
name, but here is what he had to say
on that subject:
"The more we reflect upon the es-
lsential conditions OF peace the more
clearly it appears that they are not
to be found in any artificial arrange
ments, importans as these may be as
facilities that 1t is the disposition OF
peoples that counts
ANY sort of continuance will fail
If peoples are not disposed to peace,
or are not able TO find ground for be-
lief in each other. II is idle to talk
of prescribing war unless the peoples
are intent on maintaining peace. You
cannot maintain peace by force, for who
will supply, who will control. who will
direct. the force7
"Great nations may indeed discipline
n weak power. provided they are
united In policy and provided always
that the weak power is not a neces-
sary weight in some contrived bal
ance of power. But when great ma
lions do not agree among themselves.
who shall guard the guardians7 In
that case, all the arrangements made
to depend upon their harmony of view
are bound to fail.
"If those who are keenly DESTROYS
of enduring peace Will descend 10 the
contemplation of realities. II will be
seen that there is only one way to the
avn ibuR uHu ulil'hiA NuSAhhl
is, by the cultivation OF the spirit OF
friendship and good will among the
peoples through which alone the
sources OF dangerous strife can be
dried up.
IF you find anywhere in the world
as, for example. we happily find In
the case Of our relations to our neigh
Dor to the north-a complete nssur-
ance OF lasting peace. It Is not because
OF treaties or political arrangements
of any sort 1t is simply because the
roots OF amlty strlke deep In the
thoughts and convictions OF both peo-
pies"

THIS leads to consideration of the
l. report from Washington, after a
series of political conferences in the
White House, that Attorney General
Daugherty will not manage Mr.. Hard
ing's campaign for denomination ow-
ing to his continued Ill health. In
deed, 1t is believed he may soon re
sign from the cabinet for the same
reason. His successor as ~pre-conven-
ton manager for Harding was not Sc
lected, but among the men discussed
for hat work were Charles d. Hilles
Of New York, VIII H. Hays and A. d.
Lasker, retiring chairman of the ship
ping board. Those participating in
the conferences had no doubt, SEEM
ingly, that the President would win n
denomination.
These leaders had a good deal to
say about the situation in New York
state where they fear the effects of
the prohibition issue. There was a
rumor hat Theodore Roosevelt would
offer himself as a gubernatorial can
dldate e year, his admirers assert
ing he is the one man who might de-
feat Al Smith.
, 1923-05-24

DASSAGE of a bill repeating the
L New York prohibition enforce
ment acts led a citizen of Newburgh
to write President Harding urging
that congress be convened and that
every legislator who voted for the bill
and Governor Smith, If he signs It,
be suspended as traitors. In replying,
the President reiterated the statement
that his administration would use
every means to enforce the prohibition
amendment to the Constitution, and
continued:
Il venture that, If by reason of the
refusal or failure of any state to dis
charge its proper duty, the federal
government is compelled to enter upon
the territory and Jurisdiction of the
state and to set up those police and
judicial authorities which would be re-
quired, the most difficult and trying
situations would inevitably arise.
More or less conflict between state
and federal authorities would seem
unavoidable in such circumstances.
The impression would be created that
the federal government was assuming
to interfere with the functions of the
states, and the distressing results that
would ensue readily suggest them
selves"

captives by the fact that the govern
ment, instead of withdrawing its
troops from the region. has kept it
surrounded. Worse yet, a detachment
of bandits that was moving to join
the main band was attacked by SOL
diers and driven back. Through the
courageous efforts of several foreign
residents food, clothing and medicines
have reached the captives, some of
whom are in serious condition.
IF THE peace conference at Lau-
L same ~adjourns without definite re-
suit it seems likely that wal between
Greece and Turkey will follow. Vent

keys demands for Preparations from
Greece must be dropped, since his
country would fight rather than pay
