KAISER SAYS U?S. PLANS TO RETURN ALSACE TO FRANCE LONDON, Sept. 24.—1 n an address to Austrian officers at Briey, near Meta, yesterday. Emperor William recalled to them that they had before them on this front the Americans, who have "prom ised France to give her Alsace-Lor raine" and who wished, he said, to “add big deeds to their big words." The em peror assured the Austrians of his con fidence that with the help of the Ger man forces the Americans would be given “the right answer at the right moment." » The Exchange Telegraph correspond ent at Amsterdam wires the text of this j address, delivered during an inspection trip of the emperor around Briey, where he distributed 400 tron crosses, visited field hospitals and spoke to German, Austrian.

The process of closing in on Su Quentin was continued by the British ' who made progress In the Grlcourt neighborhood and also In the Selency I region west of St. Quentin. “A hostile raid west of Sauchy- Gauchy succeeded in capturing one of our posts,” Field Marshal Haig report ed today. “A few of the garrison are missing.

QUEFTIS CLOSER TO CAPTURE BY ALLIES NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—(From Battle Front Cables to the Asociated Press.) — Wliile the events along the Picardy front in France lack the sensational elements which attend the fighting in Macedonia 1 and Palestine, they are nevertheless of | great importance. SL Quentine is ap , parent!y almost within the graps of the French and British. Along the front immediately west of I the ctiy, the allies smashed their way nearer to their objective yesterday and in spite of bitter resistance moved up to positions which seem to dominate the town. They are now forging • a steel ' ring about the city and enclosing it on three sides, being all along this arc less than three miles from the center of St. Quentin. Northward along the line toward Ar ras the British have Improved their position at Moeuvres, which stands as one of the chief bulwarks of Cambrai. They also have advanced at Pontruet, j just north*of SL Quentin. Heavy artillery Are is reported along I the lines held by the Americans in Lor raine, but nothing approaching an en gagement has been fought here.

I 22 cents in some states to 36 and 38 cents In others. ‘‘lt also was conceded in the confer- I ence that the farmer is entitled to a I margin of profit above the actual cost of production and It was agreed that five cents per pound would be as little as could be consistently offered him as ‘ a reasonable margin of profit and, therefore, I believe. If It should even tually become absolutely necessary to fix a price later that price will be be tween 35 and 40 cents per pound. "We were assured that whatever cot ton the government buys for Its own use at present it will be bought on the open market, which does not mean the adoption or fixing of an arbitrary price by statutory enactment or by the cot ton board, but leaves intact the prin ciple accepted several years ago of I cotton seeking its proper level through the actual law of supply and demand. ; In this respect, it has been ascertained i that. In the past three years, the world has consumed 44,000,000 bales of Amer ican cotton, while the production In the same time has been only, tn round numbers, 33,000,000 bales. “With these facts before me I do not feel justified in advising the farmers to hold their cotton absolutely for a price above 35 cents, but I do offer the suggestion that. If the farmer will hold his cotton in the seed for a short period K will almost immediately advance above 35 cents, and if the law of supply and demand Is left unhampered, I do not hesitate to say that, in my opinion, ft will bring around 40 cents per pound in lees than 20 daya ‘ln case there is an absolute neces sity for price-fixing, for the success ful prosecution of the war, we have been given assurance that, before any price 18 fixed, the cotton producing states will be heard on the question of price—just as the other industries and enterprises were heard; the power peo ple, the steel people and others.” England’s Army Now Numbers 8,500,000 Men CHICAGO, Sept. 26.— England’s army j numbers 8,500,000 men. while her navy ' nas in excess of 8.000,000 tons and : nearly 500,000 men.

Take a CLAIM EXEMPTION IF ENTITLED TO IT, CROWDER ADVISES WASHINGTON, SepL 25.—Provost Marshal General Crowder again today, by formal statement, asked men regis tered under the selective service law who are now engaged in answering ques tionnaires not to let motives of chivalry prevent them from claimng deferred classification if their occupation or the status of their dependents entitles them to do so. He again pointed out that such claims can be made Dy a third person. “It should be borne in mind by the individual registranL" said General Crowder, “that the miltary program of this country, built around the desires of all concerned to win victory for our cause as quickly as possible, demands of the selective system the utmost speed in classifying approximately 13,000,808 who registered on September 12.

Indicating the interest felt in the south over the cotton program, Senator Hoke Smith received more than 300 telegrams and letters today. The office force of the Georgia senator is insuffi cient to keep up with the cotton corre spondence. He announced today, how-- ever, that copies of telegrams and let ters received would be laid before the president and the war industries board during investigation of the cotton situa tion. “There is a decided Improvement in the outlook as compared with that of four or five days ago,” said Senator Hoke Smith. “Our protests appear to have had effecL The secretary of Agri culture has issued a statement denying that he advocated a price on cotton. The statement was the re sult of earnest representations regard ing its authenticity. The situation is so improved that my advice is that no holders of cotton should act with ex citement or undue nervousness. Hope Pixing Not Necessary “Statistics presented by southern members of congress and their constitu ents are making a decided impression. Chairman Baruch today expressed the hope that price-fixing would not be nec essary. I can not believe that Mr. In man, who is on the distribution com mittee, will fall to recognize the rights of the southern cotton planters or that any member of the government com mittees would recommend an unfair price, if a price recommendation should become necessary." "I have the question up botn with the president and Mr. Baruch. Xam at pres ent devoting my entire time to this cot ton matter. They have been thoroughly Informed as to the Injury an unfair price would do the south, the costs of produc ing the crop have been furnished the administration and arguments have been presented showing that it would be an Injury to force down the price for the benefit of foreign spinners. lam satls ' fled that no such program will meet with favor here. Altogether the situation is in better shape than it has been for days, and this is due to our efforts here and the thousands of telegrams which have reached the president and others reveal ing the south's side of this issue.” Others Optimistic Senator Smith’s optimism was shared by other members of congress who have been somewhat discouraged lately over the trend of affairs.

Brown, of Atlanta, president of the Cotton States Official Advisory Mar keting Board, and a delegation of the state agricultural department officially applied to the White Hoose for a bear j Ing. The president designated Mr. Baruch as his spokesman. Later Mr. Baruch told newspaper men ; that it might be possible to prevent price fixing. The distribution system, he said, might solve the question. Much depends upon the distribution methods of the committee headed by Charles Brand, of the department of agriculture, of which Mr. Inman is a member. ( Chairman Baruch said the committee on cotton distribution should be able to obviate the necessity of fixing a price on cotton. The difficulty, as Mr. Baruch sees IL lies in the fact that the civilian de mands for high-grade cotton and the refusal to accept low-grade cotton are responsible for the unstability in prices. The government's requirements ore also for the higher grades of cotton, and Mr. Baruch expects the Brand committee to force the lower-grade cotton on the market for civilian use. This will bring up the price of lower grade eotton, which is now being largely held in the stalks awaiting higher prices. The ef fect of this, Mr. Baruch says, should also be the lowering of prices on high grade cotton. He thinks also that this ' will meet both the government and civil ian demands. The only result that would be desired from price fixing would be to get all of the cotton available on the market, he said. The question of stimulating production is causing no alarm, since the planters are producing all they can.

KENNETH K. McALPLNE A Prominent New York Surgeon, Member New York State Medical Society and Former Adjunct Professor, New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital. ‘The irreat (train of the present times should tnske the public generally realize the necessity of fortifying the blood snd nerve cells by means of a strengtheninf upbuilding tonic. If people would only realize that iron is just as indispensable to the blood as is air to tie lungs and be just ss particular about keepina up a sufficient supply at all times there woulu, in my opinion, be far less disease resulting from anaemic, weakened conditions. For years it was a problem with physicians 4 how to admin ister iron in a form that could be taken up by the system and increase the red blood corpus cles witbont upsetting the stomach, blackening the teeth or producing other disorders almost as,serious as the lack of Iron itself. But the introduction of Nuxated Iron has done away with all the objectionable features of the obi mineral salts of iron and gives to every care ful, thinking physician a trleo and valuable prescription wllch he can recommend nearly every day with benefit to his weakened and rand-down patients. “Nuxated Iron, by enriching the blood and creating new blood cells. strengthens the nerves, rebuilds the weakened tissues and helps to instill renewed energy into the whole sys tem whether the patients be young or old. In my opinion. Nuxated Iron is the most valuable tonic, strength and blood-builder any physician can prescribe.” If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following teat: See how long yon can work or bow far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. Manufacturers' Note: Nuxated Iron, which ia prescribed and recommended by physicians and which is new- being used by over three million people annually, is not a secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists every where. Unlike the older inorganic iron products it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them blaek nor upset the stomach. The manufacturers guarantee successful snd en tirely satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. It is dispensed by all good druggists.—(Advt.)
