BARUCH TODAY
_
Senators to Query War
Board Chief on Cotton
Price Report.
Bernard M Barueh. chairman of
the War Indu?tne? Board, will appear
before the Committee on Agricultur?
of the Senate this afternoon to ex
plain hi? announcement about ?ta
bllixln. the price of cotton which
caused the precipitate ?lump In the
cotton market last Thursday.
The authoriied announcement by
Mr. Barueh, a? chairman of the War
Industrie? Board, wa? mad? public
iste in the afternoon, after the mar
ket had closed, and was generally
Interpreted a? meaning that the price
of cotton would be flied The fol
lowing morning the market, which
had been exceptionally strong on a
short crap report, was flooded at the
opening with selling orders and cot
ton look ?lmo?t a record drop ot
?2-2- a bale for October contract?, it
wa? reported In market circle? that
a harvest had been reaped by the
operator? who ?old ?hort at the open
ing of the market, or at Its clo?e th?
night before.
?,?.??? Cr*?le? ?.???r-Paaa..
Almost a panic wa.? created among
the cotton growers of the South a?
a reault of the order, and the depres
sion wa? so great that President
Wilson personally corrected the pre
vailing Impression that the price of
cotton was to be fixed In a telegram
to ?n editor of ? southern newspaper.
Members of the Agriculture Com
mittee* were ?till anxious to que?tion
Mr Barueh, and after a number of
telephone messages had been ex
changed between th? Senate Cham
ber and the War industries Board, it
was announced that Mr. Barueh had
agreed to appear before the commu
te? at four o'clock this a/ternoon.
Senator Smith said yesterday that a
real price fixing program for cotton
would result In nothing shqrt of
financial disaster for the South*, and
that It would have a serious effect
upon the finances of the nation.
If the South is facing a price-fix
ing program, and low prices for cot
ton, it will cause panicky conditions
and will have a serious effect upon
the next liberty loan, for which th?
campaign will ?tart In two weeks.
If Mr. Barueh can give the Senate
Committee on Agriculture positive aa
eurance that there will be no price
fixing for cotton thl? year It will have
a splendid effect upon the financial
conditions In the South, according to
Southern Senators, and will mate
rially aid the new loan.

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE FELT
FAR INTO "NO MAN'S LAND"
_*
Greatest Treasure of Soldiers Is Usually Pho
tographs of Wives, Sweethearts and
Mothers at Home, Is Report.
At the British Front, Sept. o?The influence of woman is felt in
the first-line trenches and dug-outs, and reaches out even upon the
battlefields.
In the pockets of dead soldiers, friends and foes, are found every
day and everywhere along the far-flung front the snapshots, and often
cabinet photographs, of mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts, love
letters and just simple letters from home. In many cases they are
carried in a little special pocket just over the heart.
(?Idler's Greatest Treasere,
They are the sold>er s greateat
treasures. It matters not what bis
army la: In thia respect human
nature is the same. PIcturesOt the
soldier's dear one? are nailed on the
walls of dugouts, underground tun
nels. In the cellsre of shell-wrecked
buildings or pinned on the canva?
walls of lorries and motor trucks?
wherever Tom, Bill. Ralph or Dick
nnd a humble war domicile.
Tltfse valuable? give a pathetic
ally personal touch to war. You
wonder how the men's relatives
would feel If they saw what you
dally see when the battle is raging.
You are thankful thai they a
aparen the ordeal.

I have seen German prisoners re

their deep sleeve cuffs, where they
invariably carry the pictures of rela

A letter was found on a dead Ger

had noticed a difference in him. too.

watch the eagerness with which
they tell you about their 'beet girls'

NEW L0.AN CAMPAIGN
TO HELP WAR STAMPS
Prior Drives Taught People Value
of Thrift.
The coming Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign 1? expected to aid rather
than retard the ?alea of war savings
and thrift stamps, according to D. J.
Callaban of the Dietrlct committee.
"It has been our experience In the
previou? campaign?." he stated, "that
the lesson of thrift taught by liberty
loan drives has had a lasting effect
thst makes itself felt in our own pro
ject. Many person* who ?re finan
cially unable to buy even a 150 bond
c?n buy wir uvlng? ?nd thrift
stamps and thu? help to the extent
of their ?bility."
While the local committee has no
intention of relaxing its efforts to
promote ?tamp? ?ale? during teh lib
erty loan cempatgn. It wtll at the
tarn? time co-operate to ? :>? fallest
extent with those behind the loan.
But no effort wilt be msds to divert
?n Intending purchaser of liberty
bonds to purchase ?temp*, tbe com
mittee contenting Itaelf during the
period of the drive to reach only tho*e
who sr? unable to buy the bond?.
