Members Here Will Call on the

When the name of Woodrow Will
son was mentioned at the interna-
tional congress of the Women's In
fernational League of Peace and
Freedom in the Washington Hotel
today it drew from the gathering.
In which were represented most Of
the civilized nations of the world,
long and enthusiastic applause.
The former President of the United
states was one of those whom the
league eulogized. Mile. Edna Tybjerg
or Denmark was selected to read a
memorial paper in honor of Mr.. Will
son. She referred to him as "a
prophet who shared the lot of
prophets"
Service to World.
Mr.. Wilson's fight to make pos
stble the self determination of
peoples, the speaker said, had accom-
plished by ballot what otherwise
might have resulted in more blood
shed. She referred to the restoration
of Sonderjylland to Denmark when
an overwhelming majority Of it's resi-
dents voted to return to the SOW
erignty of that nation.
The recovery of our lost territory"
Mile. Tybjerg concluded, was in the
first order due to the wisdom and
vision of this great man, a man who
was not quite understood in his own
country nor by his own time, per-
haps, but who kept his heart burning
for great idea 1t is by his struggle
Tor righteousness, by his passionate
love for humanity, that history will
remember Woodrow Wilson"

Immediately after the memorial
services the congress settled down
TO consider number of suggested
changes in its International constitu-
zion. The majority of them were of a
pnore or less unimportant nature and
were adopted after being explained
One, however, which would have
changed the method of selecting in
ternational officers, was voted down
after considerable debate.
The congress will come to an end
tomorrow after the election of Off

NEW ORLEANS. April 15.-The cotton

today's trading, fluctuating in wide

checked. May dropped to 2ss4c, July to
2s.13c and October to zA12c. or 81, II and
50 points. respectively down from the
high and 20 to 80 points net lower. All of
the decline was recovered in the late after
noon and the market closed at net gains
for the day at Alto points. ,r
The early advance was due partly to
the very unfavorable showing by the
weather map. which. though mostly dry,
indicated a severe low pressure in the
more rain and possibly cold The state
ment of the International Federation of
Spinners on the worlds supply and con-
sumption was also considered very bullish.
The official forecast OF the weather prom
ised showers and thunderstorms for all OF
the western and central portions of the
belt.
About the middle of the morning the
market weakened on Wall Street selling,
said ito be based on rather peasimistic ut
terances by President Gary of the United
States Steel corporation who has just re-
turned from a trip abroad. The serious
japanese situation also caused more or
less uneRsiness and contributed to the
weakness The low levels of the day were
reached ins the early afternoon. In the
second half Of the afternoon shorts. COW
cred freely on the very unfavorable
weather outlook and contracts were
comparatively scarce. all the decline COM
pared with the previous close was recov-
cred and more besides, with the result
that the day ended with a small net gain.

REALIZING HALTS
COTTON ADVANCE
May Breaks From 30.46
To 29.61, Where Mar
ket Steadies

NEW YORK, April 15.--An early
advance In the cotton market today
was checked by renewal of realiz-
ing and May contracts broke from
30.46c to 29.61c, or 80 points net low
err. At this level prices steadied on
covering, with May closing at Boise
and with the general market closing
steady net Is points higher to 2 points
lower.
The opening was firm at an advance
of 10 to Is points. Active months
sold SO points net higher during the
early trading with October advancing
25.S5c. Offerings were comparatively
light after the break of yesterday and
buying was promoted by relatively
steady Liverpool cables and reports of
rather unsettled weather in the south.
Demand failed to broaden on the ad-
vance, however, suggesting that the
near months short interest had been
much reduced last week and the mar
ket turned easier during the midday
owing to. unfavorable reports from the
cotton goods trade and the unsettled
tone reported in the early stock mar
ket. October declined to 24.17c with
the general list showing net losses of
about 20 to "a points but steadied after
the execution Of stop orders. Last
prices showed rallies Of rs to 30 points

& Notwithstanding that no decided sell.
ing pressure developed in the wheat
market, exceptional favorable crop re-
ports from the southwest acted as q
weight on values, and so did meagre.
ness OF cash demand for either wheat
or corn. Under such circumstances lit.

east Of the Mississippi river, where the
beginning of harvest will be much later
than for the southwest. What slight
purchasing Of wheat there was here
today came chiefly frem the northwest
and appeared for the most part during
the late trade. On the ether hand some
foreign selling earlier was noted.
Corn prices were inclined to sag

some traders took the. position that
