The president told Mr. Lever what his plan is and the representative from South Carolina was so favorably impressed that he said he would recommend to the growers that they abandon arrangements which they had made to send a delegation to ‘Washington next Monday to protest to the president. Mr. Lever de- clined to say anyvthing in regard to the details of the president’s plan, but it is believed here that Mr. Wil- son contemplates extending relief to the cotton growers thrqugh the operations of the Federal Reserve Board and also through some possible Personals Miss Alice Crusberg is spending her | vacation with relatives in Burnside.

The sixth annual reunion of ‘the Miller Family association, descendants of William Miller, a founder of North- arrangement with the British gov- ernment. Proclamation in Few Days, The State Department has not been advised authoritatively that cotton is to be put on the contraband and no official statement to this effect has come: to the British Embassy. Nevertheless, informal has convinced Government offici that Great Britain already has de- cided to take this step. It is ex- pected that the proclamation on the part of the Allies will be issued with- in a few days. The step has been agreed upon by Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Belgium. It is known that officials have rea- son to believe that Great Britain will take some steps to aid the Southern planters. The British Government. will adopt this course because it desires to minimize the risk of caus- ing resentment in the South which later would be reflected in a move- ment in favor of a munitions em- bargo as a reprisal. What form this British relief will take has not been determined yet. Held Up for Months. The making of cotton contraband will have no practical effect, so far as the present situation is concerned. All cotton shipments to Germany and the neutral countries adjacent to Germany have been held up for sev- eral months under the operations of the Orders in Council. Virtually the only change in the situation will be that Great Britain, having put cotton on the contraband list, will have the right, if it sees fit, to confiscate car- whereas now all such cargoes when seized are paid for by the Brit- ish government. The United States will vigorously oppose the action of Great Britain in regard to cotton, and will cite Great Britain’s own protest on this subject when Russia, in the Russo- Japanese war, made cotton contra- band, TRAINS CRASH; FOUR KILLED Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 18, via Paris, 2:10 p. m.—The Zurich-Geneva Express was in collision with a loc: na nger train at Dietikon, near Zurich, last night.
