Departure of Francis Is Not Considered Yet WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.—State de partment officials said today that the renewed offensive in. Russia had not progressed to a point where.the depart ure of Ambassador Francis and ’he allied diplomats from Petrograd was being considered, and that so far as official reports showed, the diplomats themselves were not considering leaving as yet. French Take 525 Huns In Raid on Lorraine PARIS, Feb. 21. —The French took 525 prisoners in their raid yesterday in Lor raine, the war office announced today. The statement reads: * “Northwest of Rheims in the region of Loivre, a German raid was repused by the French fire. “The total number of prisoners taken tn Lorraine in the course of the French operations north of Bures and east of Moncel is 525, of whom eleven are of ficers. “On the remainder of the front there is nothing important to report “ Von Kuehlmann Warns Against Quick Slav Peace .AMSTERDAM, Feb. 21.—Foreign Sec retary von Kuehlmann. in the reichstag yesterday, read the wireless dispatch from the Bolsheviki. announcing that they found it necessary to sign a peace agreement on the terms dictated by the • entral powers. He said he would like to warn the members of the reichstag -lain committee against the belief that peace with Russia was in their pockets, adding: “Peace with Russia will have been arrived at only when the signa tures on the treaty are dry." Several Patrol Attacks Repulsed by Portuguese PARIS. Feb. 21.—A Portuguese of ficial communication issued today deal ing with the operations of the Fortu cuese forces on the western front says: “During the past week we have re pulsed several patrol attacks and cap tured one officer and two men belong ing to these patrois. “A Gotha airplane fell inside our sec- i tor. and its crew, composed of two of »leers and two noncommissioned offi- | »era. was made prisoner." Twelve Enemy Airplanes Accounted for by British ixj.XMUN. Feb. 20. —Twelve German airplanes have been accounted for by British airmen and one by infantry, says a statement on aerial operations tonight, which also reports successful attacks on Thionville and Pirmasens, Germany. The statement reads. “In air fighting Tuesday eleven hos t le machines were brought down and another was driven down out of control. At night a bombing machine was brought down in No Man's i-and by in fancy. Two of our machines are miss ing- "Tuesday night Thionville again was attacked successfully. Twenty-six heavy bombs were dropped on the rail way station and a large explosion was caused and two fires started. All our machines returned safely. Today our airplanes bombed large factories and the station at Pirmasens, in Germany, .»nd dropped a ton of bombs. All re t urned safely." •«' Germans Can Reach Petrograd With Ease WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.—That Ger many can reach Petrograd practically unhindered if she so elects, is the gen eral military belief here. Russian at tempts to get together an opposing force are deemed today to have come •oo lata. • That Germany intends to make even stronger peace demands than heretofore is considered quite probable from the | fact that her armies are driving on de spite the statement of readiness to sign a peace pact. The opposition at home to the drive' apparently will not delay the German -military leaders in their assault against' a defenseless and undefendlng nation. Ambassador Francis is empowered to use his own judgment as to departing from Petrograd If events threaten him and the other allied ambassadors. Macon Auditorium to Be Used for Wrestling Bouts MACOX, <»a., Feb. 21.—After a hot fight, city council last night granted the use of the city auditorium for wrestling matches. Heretofore such matches have been barred by the city, but last night by a majority of one vote, permission J was granted to use she city building to stage wrestlirig matches and boxing bouts. i Cotton I NEW YORK. Feb. 21.—The cotton market re covered a good part of yesterday’s reaction dur > inc today's early trading. The opening was 12 points lower on March which was influenced i by the circulation of a few notices, but gener ally 8 to 21 points higher. March quickly firmed up with the rest of the list on covering and re “ port* that the notices amounting to about i 2.-VUO bales had been stopped, with the market showing net advances of about 20 to 29 points , i before the end of the first hour. Buying bj 1 trade interests was again a feature, while ot i ferings were light, and there was covering by i I yesterday's sellers on the strength of the goods market and bullish spot advices. May Isold up to 30.70 and Julv to 30.19, while March rallied , from 30.02 to 31.03. An order from the government, read, from the rostrum says that all s-otto niri the 11 Bnsh Terminals Stores must be removed be ’ | fore February 23. This action is in order to prevent present holders from delivering cotton stored in the Bush terminals on March con tract to new owner*, who. in turn, would de . lay the clearing of the stores. A is estimated that this order will affect .abont 14.000 bales . of the certificated stock and owing to the t ■ scarcity of warehouse room will prevent deliv ! cry of this <x>tton on March contracts. Aroumi 31.05 for March, and 30.73 for May ■ the market met 'some realizing as well as . 1 scattering near month liquidation.

JOHN F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 21—Our market opened 6 to 12 points higher and soon devel oped an all-round gain of 20 points on buying on absence of March tenders, the abolition of j Icelless Mondays in New England, government advice against excessive planting of cotton, and the announcement that the former ruling re main* In force and that no export license re quired for cotton to ally countries, except Egyptian and Sea Island, the exportation of , which are prohibited. Some of the buying was replacing of con- ; tracts which had been hurriedly liquidated on I yesterday's late break. the premium on March increased to 50 points, partly on covering by March shorts in the ab sence of tenders and then on account of an easier tone in the latter positions, owing to weakened technical conditions as the result of the recent covering movement. Trading became quiet towards the second hour, showing holiday effects, 'the very severe weather again over the north Atlantic territory influenced feeling. The cold wave passed eastward, and while freezing temperatures were established over the norther nhalt of the cotton belt, the southern half escaped its force. Light precipitation was ■ general over the southern half of the belt. In- ' dications are now for part cloudy northeastern , quarter;, unsettled rainy weather, warmer west- I <in and central belt. A large rain formation is coming over Texas and Oklahoma over Sunday, and temperatures hill rise rapidly in the west. Two notices were issued here, it later devel oped, and promptly stopped. First New York advices gave only 3,400 March tenders. Spot market quiet, but prices sustained by demand loi better grades. NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET NEW YORK, Feb. 21. —Flour —Dull but firm.

SHEPARD & GLUCK S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 21.—The absence of March tenders in any quantity today put tbe lirice of cotton to higher levels in the early trading. Ijiter on, realizing sales from longs who did not want to carry their cotton over tbe three holidays following the close about wiped ‘ out tbe improvement but without destroying the good undertone. It is becoming daily more apparent that cotton is in a position to make imi*ortant advances, probably into new high levels for the season. NLotices here were issued for only 200 bales and in New York for about 3,400. On this there was a prompt rise on the opening which was gradually widened to 24®37 points. >;t | for the holiday feeling the rise unquestionably would have been much wider. Features developed today which are likely to have an important bullish influence on the mar- 1 ket for some time to coine. The department ot ' agriculture came, out with a statement strongly advising against any increase in tbe cotton acreage at the expense of food crops, while ot- j flciala at Washington stated in the clearest • language that the low point in the supply ot ' tonnage was reached on tbe first of February • ami predicted that it would lmrer.se from non on. This is extremely important in e<>nne* tioii ’ with the exportation of cotton. • Wo sec nothing either in the old . ron or th< new crop situation which points to anything but a higher market. ' Grain I . CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—New restrictions on l> grain trading bad but little effect today as a hindrance to higher prices. Offering* of corn were very light.

Saturday, Feb. 16.—German goods already have reap peared far east of Irkutsk, according to information received here, perman merchants are active in Harbin and the Bolsheviki are arming released Ger man prisoners to guard the Siberian railway and facilitate the movement of traffic. A British mining engineer named Pi per, who has arrived here from Kras goyarsy, says that the Bolsheviki have i seized the gold mines there and that Austro-German- prisoners are working them. The Austro-Germans have plenty of money and are purchasing permits allowing them to circulate freely in Si [ beria. The Germans are taking charge of electric power stations, railways and ■ depots. Quantities of raw materials are being shipped to Germany from the dis trict. Piper declares that unless the allies take immediate steps to send supplies and raw materials into Siberia the in tellectual and peasant classes will throw themselves into the hands of the Germans. Goods are being sold at pre war prices by the Germans, who aro also securing contracts and concessions, ■ as well as carrying on propaganda work. U. S.

Says Dealers Must Pay Charge for Weighing ; SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 21.—Colonel R. J J. Travis, city attorney, holds a different i view as to the operation of the new coal ordinance in the city from that held by the fuel administrator, James E. Dixon, who a few days ago made public the statement that the fee of ten cents for weighing should be paid by the consum er. The city attorney maintains that the fee costs should be maintained by the dealers themselves, in view of the fact that from tomorrow, when the public scales will be used for the first time, the sellers of coal in Savannah will be ! relieved of the burden of weighing the I product before it is loaded In delivery! wagons. The city attorney says that in- • asmuch as the dealers are releived of i the expense of maintaining scales, they I should pay the fee.
