World’s Cotton
Leaders Meet
New Orleans, La, July 30.—Plans
are going rapidly forward ' for the
“world cotton conference,’’ which will
be held- in this city next October. It
is ndw expected that thirty nations
wili be represented at the meeting.
When the delegations of foreign cot-
ton growers and spinners come to this
country many of them will come on
invitation of President Wilson.
The list of countries to which the
president will send invitations brings
out strikingly the worldwide scope of
the cotton industry. There are more
than 30 countries in the world which
either grow some variety of cotton or
spin it into yarns, or weave it into
fabrics. They are found in North
America South America, Europe, Afri-
ca and Asia. Australia is the only im-
portant part of the world where cot-
ton is. neither grown nor manufactur-
ed on any extensive scale. ,
The full list comprises besides the
central powers, Great Britain, Cana-
da Poland, 'Finland, France, Switzer-
land, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium,
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Greece,
india, China, Japan, Brazil, Argentina,
Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecua-
dor, Venezuela, Guatemala, Mexico
and Persia.
The largest delegations to the con-
ference will doubtless be those from
Great Britain and other European
countries, but it is expected that there
will be representatives from yearly
all of the other countries named.
The British delegation will include
men of international reputation in the
cotton trade. It will be headed by A.
H. Dixon, head of the British- Fine
Cotton Spinners’ Association, who dur-
ing the war was head of the British
cotton control board. This leader of
the Lancashire spinning industry has
large interests in the United States as
head of the Delta Planting Company,
a cotton growing corporation owning
37,000 acres of cotton land in Missis-
sippi. This plantation is the largest
in the world.
The foreign delegations will have
an unusual opportunity to see large-
scale cotton production, as arrange-
ments Jm^4>een made for the spe-
York, after the conference, to stop
at Scott, Miss., for a visit of inspec-
tion to the plantation of the Delta
Planting Company.
Ten committees made up of men
prominent in the American cotton in-
dustry are now at work on the pre-
liminary plans for the conferenc.
E. A. Calvin, a prominent cotton plan-
ter of Texas, is chairman of the com-
mittee which will consider all sub-
jects which directly concern the grow-
ing of cotton. “Colonel” Harvie Jor-
dan, a resident of Georgia, and for
many years a leader in the organiza-
tion of southern planters, is chairman
of the committee which will consider
the securing of better cotton by seed
selection, improved methods of gin-
ning and compressing, and the best
means of establishing uniformity of
bales.
L. K. Salsbury, manager of the
Delta Planting Company of Memphis,
is chairman of the committee which
will give particular attention to the
establishment and extension of ware-
houses, receipts of which for cotton
stored therein will be accepted as col-
lateral for loans, in both the United
States and abroad.
Other important subjects which
will be dealt with by special commit-
tees will include the buying for future
delivery and uniform classification,
improved methods of financing cotton,
new facilities for the extension of
credits to foreign purchasers, .a pos-
sible international system of reports
and statistics covering all phases of
the growing, marketing and manufac-
ture of cotton, as well as the need for
and the possibilities of research work
in the textile industry’, and the stabil-
izing of production and prices, with
fairness and justice to both grower
and manufacturer.

Turkish Cruelties
Are Exposed
(By Associated Press-)
New York, July 36.—Charges that
Turkish officials decimated the Greek
population along the Black Sea coast,
250,000 mea, women and children liv-
ing between Sinope and Ordu, with-
out the shedding of blood but by “par-
boiling” the victijps in Turkish baths
and turning them half clad out to die
of pneumonia or otfcer ills in the
snow of an Anatolian winter, are
made in a letter from Dr. George E.
White, representative of the Ameri-
can committee for relief in the near
east, made public here today.
Sinope was the birthplace of the
philosopher Diogenes, Dr. White re-
calls, and Orpu is just beyond Cape
Jason which is-still jpreseN’ed in mem-
ory of the Argonauts and the Golden
Fleece. The letter, written to Profes-
sor J. P. Xsnides secretary of the'
Greek relief committee here, describ-
ed the new method of ridding the
laud of its inhabitants which, it said,
was somewhat different from that em-
ployed by the Turks against the Ar-
menians. '
The worst of the crimes laid to the
Turks, according to Dr. White, were
committed in the winters of 1916 and
1917 when orders were issued for the
deportation of the Greeks along the
Black Sea coast. The people, he
wrote, werg crowded into the steam
rooms of the baths in Chorum under
the pretense of “sanitary regulations”
and after being tortured - for hours
were Aimed out of doors into snow
almost knee-deep, and without lodg-
ing or food. . Their garments, which
had been taken from them for- fumi-
gation, were lost, ruined or stolen.

Kansas City, Mo., Juiy 30.—Repre-
sentatives of the state highway de-
partments of Oklahoma, Colorado, Ne-
braska, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Ar-
kansas and Texas met here today to
plan concerted action designed to ob-
tain further appropriations from con-
gress for highway construction. Sev-
eral governors were expeetdd among
the delegations. The meeting was
called on the initiative of Governor
Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, Who pre-
sided.
“There are half a dozen or more
bills in congress seeking federal aid
for highway building, and In practi;
cally all states there is a desire to see
some fit these bills enacted into, law
by the present session of congress,”
said Governor Allen. “We hope to
have other states take up this organ-
ized effort.
“Kansas has exhausted the appro-
priation of nearly $8,000,000 federal
aid, and other states have allotted all
their appropriations. These allotments
came from a congressional appropria-
tion of $200,000,000 available of feder-
al aid, ha8 just-gotten a good start.
The assurance that the governihent
is to make a further appropriation to
the states would keep the movement
from sagging. Counties could continue
to file the petitions for new highways
If federal aid will be available.
“There is a Mil in congress for the
construction of a cross-continent na-
tional highway by the federal govern-
ment, calling for an arpropriation >f
$200,000,000. It has some support,
but I believe the majority of the
states prefer to have this sum allotted
to all states in general, as was the
last appropriation of $200,000,000.”
Other highway bills in congress, in-
cluding that of Senator Townsend of
Michigan, providing for the organi-
zation of a national highway commis-
sion, said to have the backing of the
