soldier fought with poorly clad
peasant army in Finland's civil war

Finally, because of their knowl-
edge of the weather and terrain,
the Firms have developed equipment
which has maneuverability, major
requisite. Their light machine gun,
intended for the use of two men, but
built for one if necessary, was de-

For Cotton
December 9

Washington, Sept. 15.-(AP)-Sec-
-eary Wallace announced today the
agriculture Department would hold
farmer referendum December 9 on
proposal to invoke marketing
quotas on the 1910 cotton crop. If
approved, this would be the third
consecutive year of the imposition of
marketing restrictions to keep sur
plus cotton off the market
Wallace said a quotas election was
mandatory under terms of the 1888
crop control act, because of the eX-
lSence Of record surplus.
More than 100000 farmers thro-
uShout the south and Far West will
be eligible to vote Quotas must be
approved by two-thirds of the grow
ers voting before they may become
effective.
Quotas would require farmers
planting in excess Of acreage allot-
ments to store the excess or pay a
penalty tax of three cents a pound.
Wallace said the 1910 quota would
1e about 100000 bales, or about
ING same as this year.
Last December cotton growers ap-
proved quotas on this years crop by
a percentage Of 84.1.

Paris, Sept. 15.-(AP)-German
troops were reported today to be re-
treating slowly down the Moselle
valley in the face of persistent
French pressure Unofficial French
sources said the Germans were leav-
ing their advance positions before the
Siegfried line, ripping up railroad
tracks which follow the course Of the

The Germans apparently feared a
French attack in force toward their
base at Trier, which is only a few
thousand yards in front Of the Sieg-
fried line French forces seesawed
fiercely at Saarbruecken's defenses,
alternating attacks from three sides,
it was reported, while an offensive

the French line facing Saarbruecken
was moving slowly toward that rich
prize "despite strong enemy reac-
tions, notably by his artillery"
The advance in the Sireck region,

French assured positions after five

Is
Refusing To
Take Sides

Budapest, Sept. 15.-(AP)-Hun-
gary's denunciation of the Versailles
treaty, her refusal to proclaim her
neutrality and her notice to the
world that she would "stand firm
until the very last man" to protect
her vital interests caused diplo-
matte circles today to speculate as
to how long neutrality. would con-
tinue to rule southeastern Europe.
Foreign Minister Count Csaky's
speech last night to the parliament
tary foreign affairs committee was
considered of prime Importance, in
view of the belief of well-informed
observers that on Hungary's actions
depend continued peace in the
five other little nations now stand
ing aloof from war. He said a Hun
garian declaration of neutrality in
the present European conflict was
''needsess, since "any declaration
of that sort only could :complicate
our national life in case of long
term war;.
In elaboration, he said: "No dan
ger imperils Hungary from the part
of adversaries fighting near her
y ontiers"
Count Csaky has been doing
much airplane shutting between
Budapest, Rome and Berlin recent
ly. His latest trip was last week.
