COTTON
NEW YORK, Juue 18. —The cotton market
lost yesterday'. improvement during today's
early trading. Cables were lower, the
weather map favorable and unsettled condi
tions In the textile trade were emphasized
by reports that cotton yarn spinners at Gas
tonia, N. C„ were going on short time. The
ipening was steady aot a decline of 4 points
to an advance of 5 points, and there was
some Liverpool buying of July and October
at the start. Otherwise very little support
was in evidence, however, and the market
soon weakened under liquidation or re-sclling
by buyers of yesterday. July broke to
37.25 c and October to 34.30 c, with active
months showing net losses of 20 to 25
points before the end of the first hour.
There were sharp rallies from the early
break after the posting of the weather map
which showed rainfall ranging up to about
3 inches in the southwest. Some local
traders felt that moderate rains would be
beneficial following recent dry weather,
but there was evidently a fear that the
precipitation had been too heavy in some
sections or that the belt was in for another
wet spell. At any rate July sold up from
87.25 to 37.58 and October from 34.30 to
34.85, with the general list ruling about
13 to 35 points net higher around miday.
The early afternoon advance extended to
7.80 for July and 34.92 for October owing
to reports of further rains in the central
and western belt. This made a net advance
of 15 to 38 points which met enough realiz
ing to cauca rt actions of a few points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEaaS, June 18.—Unsettled and
uncertain price movements attended the
early trading in cotton today as the result
ot conflict of opinion over weather condi
tions in the belt. Much rain fell overnight,
and it was rather generally regarded as
beneficial, but the fear soon sprang up that
the rains might continue and cause renewed

prices were 2 7 pohstn up* from which
they fell to levels 13 to 19 points under the
close of yesterday, but at the end of the
first hour of business were 10 to 18 points
over yesterday's finals. July sank to 87.35 c
and reacted to 37.62 c.
• The forecast of additional showers over
the greater part of the belt increased the
demand to a considerable extent, with the
result that net advance late in the morn
ing amounted to 25 to 34 points. July ris
ing to 37.77 c and October to 34.68 c.
Heaviest buying of the session came to
ward the close and the buyers found only
a limited supply of contracts to work on.
The most active months weresent 31 to 46

LtETTER '
CHICAGO, June 18. —Corn: It developed
that the needs of the cash corn buyers who
withdrew from yesterday’s market were not
fully supplied, as they were competitive
buyers today. The result was an advance
in cash of about 4 cents above yesterday’s
low. This condition has been the immediate
motive in the deferred delivery. Transpor
tation is and will be the most Important
thing in the market. It is apparent that
present facilities are inadequate. A good
idea of future probabilities is to be gath
ered from the request of the banking in
terests that wheat be given a preferential
order. Therefore, given existing premiums
of 11 cents and over for contract grades
an a poor outlet for any material improve
ment in receipt# there shonid be Pruinn
in market at all times.
Oats: It has been intimated In some
quarters that oats were heading short in
certain sections and in extreme southwest
premature ripening promised a yield of
lightweight oats. These items together with
continued strength in cash, account for the
action of the new crop deliveries. Inas
much as present weather is distinctly bene
ficial for oats, all claims of damage should
be taken with a grain of salt; however, we
repeat our belief that the discount or Sep
tember is not warranted by the size of the
crop as estimated.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, June 18.—Although the
rains in the belt overnight were regarded
favorably on the whole, the early selling
movement in the cotton market today which
they caused did not last long and was
succeeded by a fairly determined upward
movement which was explained by the fear
that the rains would continue, a fear that
was strengthened by the forecast of more
showery weather for the greater part of
the belt. The market tomrorow will prob
ably depend almost altogether on the char
acter of the weather map.

NOMINEE WILLING
TO GO TO PEOPLE
ON TREATY ISSUE
(Continued from Page 1)
and there is no question in my mind
I but what they ivill adopt a progres
sive platform as he has asked.”
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, de
clared the interview is a ‘‘typical
effusion” of the president. “It is
just another attempt to retain party
leadership,’ Fall said.
‘Mr. Wilson’s conception of the
presidency is that of-a party leader
and it is evident in his statement
that he intends to retain that lead
ership.”
Senator Fall stated he did not be
lieve the Republican party attempt
ed to “befog” the League of Nations
issue.
‘The Republican party does , not
dodge the issue. Mr. Wilson would
have accused the Republicans of in
terfering with his treaty-making
power had it attempted at the Chi
cago convention to dictate a plan
of dealing with the treaty.” ’
President Wilson, in his Interview
said he was “extremely confident
that the Democratic conventfbn
at San Francisco will welcome the
acceptance by the Republican party
to make the League of Nations the
issue fn tills campaign.”
"I am even more confident,” the
president said, “that such referen
dum will confirm my faith that the
American people desire it above
anything else that a political party
now may provide and that they will
condemn the Republican policy of
denying them the consummation of
their hopes. No one will recommend
a referendum on that issue more
than I.”
“I suppose I should feel flatter
ed,” he said, “over being made the
issue of the presidential campaign
by the Republican party. But even
the effort of the platform make s
at Chicago to confer the distinct ion
of being not only a burning but a
living issue by camouflaging and
obscuring the real issues will not*
deceive the people.
G. O. F. Methods Prussian
“The processes by which the Chi
cago platorm was accomplished
seemed to me to have been essentially
and scientifically Prussian in inspira
tion and method. Instead of quoting
Washington and Lincoln, the Repub
lican platform should have quoted
Bismarck and Bernhardi, because the
Republican attitude regarding the
supreme issue that cannot be aban
doned or disregarded strongly sug
gests the arbitray influences that dic
tated the doctrines of those two emi
nent persons.
“Every charge directed against me
and my administration is obviously
designed to becloud and negative the
paramount issue confronting the peo
ple of America, to befog their sense
of responsibility and make violation
of the obligations they have assum
ed to ibe of small consequence. I
sincerely believe that the attempt of
the Republican party to win the sanc
tion of the American people for its
attempted evasion of these obliga
tions will be decisively rebuked.
“With one thing I am fully satis
fied—this is that the Republican par
ts’- in its platform has joined me In
the suggestion I made in my letter to
the guests at the Jackson day dinner
in Washington in January, last. In
that letter I expressed the hope that
a sincere attempt would be .made to
determine the attitude of the Ameri- i
can people on the League of Nations t
by the resort to the genuine demo- >
cratlc process of the referendum.
“Os course, I have no way of an- '
tlcipating the probable trend of sen- i
timent that will be expressed in the I
Democratic national convention at;
San Francisco or forecasting the ul- I
timate conclusions of that body. !
But I have every confidence that;
the delegates who will sit in that j
convention will repeat the challenge i
I issued to the Republican party and i
express their readiness to permit,
the people to decide between the j
vague and ambiguous declaration
by the Republicans and a positive
and definite expression of opinion
by the Democratic party. Whatever
else the Democratic party may do,
I hope that its convention at San
Francisco will say just what it
means on every issue an dthat it
will not resort either to ambiguity
Or evasion in doing so.
The League is Issue
“This thing (the League of Na- I
tions) lies too doop to permit of any '
political sculduggery, any attempt I
to sidestep or evade moral and hu- |
manitarian responsibilities much !
too solemn to treat so lightly or ig- ;
note.
"I should prefer at this time not I
to discuss partisan politics or > to
venture any predictions as to
probable attitude that the Democrat
ic convention will take on any sub
ject. I sincerely believe, however,
that the tvast majority of gentle
men who wil sit in the San Fran- ■
cisco convention will appreciate the >
necessity and permanent Value of I
keeping’the word that America has i
given to the rest of the world.
“The thinly veiled rejection t of the '
principle of the League of Nations by ,
the Chicago convention will not fool
anyone. The attitude of Senator j
Lodge and that of Senator Johnson ;
differ only in degree. Both are (
really opposed to it in any form.
One of these gentlemen is dissin-j
genuous and evasive and the other I
' candidly hostile.”
I "It must be a trifle disconcerting
■ to some Republicans,” he added, “to
i have their party propose now to re-{
' nudiate that which was approved a
i few years ago by some of their
i most important leaders. I am as
J confident today as I was when T
returned- from Paris finally in July
last, people of not only America,
but of the entire world are in favor
of the League of Nations; that they
would feel a greater sense of secur
ity if it s benefits should be guar
anteed; that they would not ap
-1 prove, with their votes, of the pol
' icy of the Republican party which is
’ wholly political in intent and pur
’ pose, to deny them the protection
( that the League of Nations assures.”
; “The Republican congressional
policy,” he added, “was more sig
nificant for evasion of joint respon
sibility in grappling with the prob
lems that confront the country than
for any moral appreciation of the
responsibility itself. Republican
leaders in congress cried aloud for
the repeal of some of the measures
which they well knew protected the
people from more serious evils than
they svould have the country know.
"The Lever food control act has
proved to be one of the most ef
fective agencies in preventing dep
redations at the expense of the
people than almost any other meas
sure now in operation. Time for re
pealing it is not yet.
Republicans to Blame
“Republicans chorused a ponder
ous note of protest against the ad
ministration enforcement of the
espionage act and some other meas
ures that were of vital necessity dur
ing the war. Yet, I defy the Re
publicans to prove that the power
given the government during the war
has ever been unjustly used against
the people; that a single citizen has
been unwarrantedly punished for any
act of aggression or disloyalty
against the pation; that any man
has been punished for expressing his
opinion. I have read charges to
the contrary, but in each instance
I have had the matter thoroughly
looked into and I am in a position
to contest the accuracy of any state
ment that the rights of a single cit
izen has beeh unjustly invaded.
“The United States senate has for
eleven months had in its hands the
power to end conditions that are un
mistakably irksome to a great many
of our citizens because sVith the rati
fication of the peace treaty the op
eration of laws that were enacted
to safeguard the interests of the
country in the war would automat
ically cease.
“As long as these laws are on the
statute books they must be enforced.
They have been and are being en
forced with as little injury to the
welfare of the country and rights of
individuals as possible. I don’t know
that I should even be called to de
fend any policy that I have deemed
essential to the fullest protection of
the national interest. That would
be too much like offering an apology
where one is not needed. I do not
believe that my course calls for an
apology of any kind.
“The Republican, and not the Dem
ocratic policy, has been responsible
for any bad effects that have re
sulted from the failure of the Re
publican senate to ratify the Ver
sailles treaty and the covenant of
the League 6f Nations. The Repub
lican policy of negation has been
persisted in for the sole purpose of
advancing Republican chances for
winning the coming presidential elec
tion, and has never reflected a sin
cere desire to ameliorate the effect
of measures adopted for protecting
the country in time of war. The
Republican policy has been rather
to exaggerate the effect of these
measures."
The president declined to discuss
candidates for the Democratic presi
dential nominations.
“I have the greatest faith,” he
said, “in the intelligent appreciation
by the delegates who will assemble
at San Francisco two weeks hence
to write the platform and nominate
the standard bearers of our party.
They will have before them the Re
publican platform and will have esti
mated the effect of it on the people
generally. They will have from
whom to select candidates for the
presidential and vice presidential
nominations a number of excellent
men. I should not want to express
any preference or opinion regarding
either individuals or platform ex
press'ons which might influence the
minds of the men whose votes will
ultimately decide both.
I*avors No Candidate
“I hope and believe that platform
to be adopted at San Francisco will
be more progressive and clearer in
understanding than that enunciated
by the Republicans at. Chicago. The
character of the men who will sit as
delegates in the San Francisco con
vention should be sufficient guaran
tees that the issues upon which the
campaign is to be fought will be met
with definite and concrete state
ments, not cloudy and » ambiguous
j statements, as tvas the case in the
' Chicago convention.”
j “I have not raised my hand or
I voice,” the president continued, “to
| aid in the promotion of any ambi-
I lion for the Democratic presidential
■ nomination and I shall not do so. I
i think that the leaders of the party
I and delegates who will sit -in the
i San Ftancisco convention will earn
! estly try to provide a platform and
! candidates that.will attract greater
j support than those put forward by
the Chicago convention. I am also
I confident that the Democratic lead
ers and delegates will hold the full
est appreciation of their obligations
to the party and to the people. It
is unthinkable that any Democrats
should for an instant be influenced
by the selfish and sinister motives
that lie back of the Republican plan
to stultify and discredit the United
States in the eyes of the world.
“I do not believe that they will
permit themselves to be led astray j
; in order to gratify the vanity or ,
i promote the uncharitable or selfish
i impulses of any individual.”
“The Republican convention,” he i
! added, “was the apotheosis of reac- !
i tion. It was the direct antithesis of I
what I hope the Democrats at San |
Francisco will turn out to be. . The i
leaders who call themselves pro- j
gressive and who pretend to speak '
for the progressive element in the
Republican party sacrificed every
principle that made attractive the ’
movement of eight years ago in or- j
[ der to gratify the ambition of some
j of the present-day leaders to pre
vent the people of the United States
from fulfilling their honest obliga-
I tions to the rest of the world and
!to themselves. The abandonment at.
I Chicago of the progressive spirit
! was woefully tragic. I hope and be
| lieve that the tragedy at Chicago
! will provide the Democratic party
; with an object lesson in this direc-
I tion that will not be overlooked.”
President Wilson also declined to
| discuss in detail the subject of pro
; hibition, woman suffrage or the high
! cost of living. He expressed the
j opinion that the party leaders will
' provide a platform sufficiently
broad, progressive, liberal, just an.l
thoroughly democratic to convince
the people of the country of ,he
complete honesty of the democratic
purpose and of the difference be
tween it and the Republican party.

. Questions Answered
.A. One of the pictures on this
page answers this question. It shows
the head of a German household
taking out the family hens for air,
exercise and stray crumbs. The pic
ture is not posed and it Is not an
exaggeration. Chickens are so
iscarce and so valuable in Germany
that they are treated like French
poodles here. When they are taken
out walk, they are held in leash,
as the accompanying photograph
shows.
Q. When and where was whisky
first made?
A. The art of distilling liquors
is first mentioned by Albukassen,
an Arabian physician, who lived in
the tenth century. Whisky, "a pot
able spirit distilled from cereal
grains,” probably originated in Ire
land and its Celtic name was uisge
betha (water of life) afterwards
contracted to usquebaugh and then
to whisky. It was known as unseque
baugh in the seventeenth and eigh
teenth centuries in both Ireland and
Scotland.
Q. How did the name “Gob” come
into use?
A. The appellation “Gob” is of
Chinese derivation from the Chinese
word meaning sailor. The tvord came
into use when the fleet was in the
Far East.
Q. Why Is thirteen considered an
unlucky number?
A. According to an ancient Hin
doo superstition, thirteen at table
boded ill for some one seated there,
in Norse mythology there is a tale
which says that* one night twelve
major gods were seated at a table
in Valhalla when Loki, the evil spirit
joined them, making the thirteenth.
Quarrelling with Baldur, the Apollo
of the Scandinavians, he shot him
dead with a mistletoe arrow.
Stone Mountain Turtle
Captured by Car Crew
After Bitter Struggle
Colonel Jefferson Shackleford
Mills, at times Kirkwood, Decatur.
Stone Mountain and Redan corre
spondent for The Journal, decided
that he could best serve the inter
ests of his paper in the heat of
Thursday morning by “covering” a
street car to Atlanta. Here is the
re"''-'- on his trip:
"At 5:30 o’clock a. m., between
Warren station and Kirkwood, a trol
ley car was halted by a gigantic ob
struction right in the middle of the
tracks.
“Upon investigation, Conductor T
T Bryant and Motorman McW. El
lis discovered an immense migratory
iogger-head turtle which was dis
posed to dispute the right of way.
“The turtlefought viciously and
finally they succeeded in getting it
aboard the car. Here the logger
head nsapped right, and left and re
fused to lie subdued. Finally they
had to put him off the car. Nothing
further has been heard from the tur
tle at this writing. The conductor
said the logger-head weighed about
sixty pot. ds. The motorman esti
mated his weight at 180 pounds.”
Girl Uses Jiu-Jitsu
In Fight With Crook
For years George B. Ellis, known
generally on the loiver East Side.
N<;sv York, as “the Bowery Caruso,”
but especially for kind acts as a
social worker, has been teaching his
daughter. Lillian, twelve, how to de
fend herself. There are tough char
acters near 47 Marget street, where
the Ellises live, and it seemed a
wise precaution. One night recently
Lillian used that training to good
advantage.
A man whom her father had be
friended and tried to reform attack
ed Lillian —opposite whom he had
sat several times at dinner in the
Ellis flat within a week or two—
and injured her severely. She is in
Volunteer hospital with nine serious
scalp wounds and possibly a frac
tured skull. The man, tvho almost
strangled her, then broke first a
mirror and then a vase upon her
head, is being hunted by Ellis and
his friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis went out and
left Lillian in the flat to take care
of three small sisters and brothers.
About 10 o’clock the man came, wear
ing a black suit the father had given
him. Perhaps he carpe to borrow

Q. Why did soldiers in the world
war lose more right arms and right
legs than left ones?
A. A logical theory is that when
the troops were in actual combat, the
men would be using rifles and \vould
stand with the left foot and left
arm advanced. A shell exploding in
front of them would kill rather than
maim. A shell falling and exploding
behind would find the righ side of
the body exposed to a greater de
gree.
Q. Will x-rays penetrate steel?
A. It has been found possible to
penetrate three inches of steel, six
inches of allow and twelve inches of
wood by x-rays. Lead is an effec
tive resistant, and one-eighth of an
inch of lead will furnish complete
protection for an x-ray operator.
Q. How long does it take the
light of the moon to reach the earth?
A. Light travels at the rate of
186,300 miles a second, so it would
take less than two seconds for the
light from the moon to reach the
earth.
Q. Is it true that a comma was
once included in a tariff bill which
cost the government a large sum of
money?
A. The blunder to which you refer
occured in a tariff bill about fifty
years ago. There was a section
enumerating what articles should be
adnf ,ed free of duty. Among those
specified were “all foreign fruit
plants, etc., meaning plants for
transplanting, propagation or experi
ment* The enrolling clerk in copying
the bill accidentally changed the hy
phen to a comma, making it read “all
foreign fruits, plants, etc.” conse
quence, until congress could remedy
the mistake, all oranges, lemons,
bananu , grapes and other foreign
fruits were admitted free of duty.
The misplacement of this comma cost
the government about $2,000,000.
Q. What is the “Sweep-Up Club”
in California?
A. An association has been form
ed in Los Angeles known as the
“Sweep-Up-the-Glass” club. Its mem
bers agree to stop their cars when
ever they see broken glass on the
road, and to sweep ur> the fragments.
Everybody but the tire repair man is
strong for the club.
Q. What is the simplest marriage
ceremony?
A. The simplest legal marriage
ceremony in the United States is one
performed merely in the name of .te
state, for example—“ln the name of
the state of Virginia, I pronounce
you man and wife.”
Q. Are chickens so scarce in Ger
many that they are treated like
household pets?
more money from Ellis; perhaps he
hoped to find Lillian, alone. For
nearly a half hour they fought. The
girl used upon him jiu-jitsu holds
taught her by her father. She twist
ed his fingers and clawed at his
eyes. Finally she beat him off.
At Volunteer hospital it was said
she would recover.
