London, Dec. 8.—One result of the
present war may be the realization of
the dream of centuries past—the set-
ting VP of Palestine as an independent
Jewish state. Both England and Rus-
sia will favor the project, says the
London Globe—England because a
small neutral state in the Holy Land
will be the best possible protection to
Suez and Ebypt, Russia because it
will make the way easier for her to
settle certain Jewish problems within

Washington, Dec. 8.—The sixth cot-
ton ginning report of the season, com-
piled from reports of census bureau
correspondents and agents throughout
the cotton belt and issued at 10 a. m.
today, announced that 13,066,105 bales
of cotton, counting round as half bales,
of the growth of 1911 has been ginned
prior to Dec. 1. This compared with
12,088,412 bales, or 86.5 per cent, of the
entire crop ginned prior to Dec. 1 last
year; 11,854,541 bales, or 87.9 per cent
in 1912, and 12,816,807 bales, or 82.4 per
cent, in 1911. The average quantity of
cotton ginned prior to Dec. 1 in the
past four years was 11,724,868 bales, or
86.1 per cent of the crop.
Included' in the ginnings were 36,195
round bales, compared with 86,878 last
year, 73..030 in 1912 and 87,996 in 1911.
Sea Island cotton included numbered
62,991 bales, compared with 61,049 bales

Will Be Important Only If Germans
Pursue Russians.
By Associated Press.
Amsterdam, via London, Dec. 8.—The
Berliner Tageblatt, commenting on the
capture of Lodz, Poland, considers that
it may be called a German victory only
if the Russian retreat is followed by a
German pursuit.
If such pursuit is victorious, it says,
then the German center will be strong
enough to act forcibly against the
northern and southern parts of a brok-
en Russian army.

Ninth Annual Convention Is Being Held
at Austin.
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Tex., Dec. 8.—The ninth an-
nual convention of the Texas State As-
sessors association met this morning at
the Driskill hotel with a fairly good
attendance of members, there being
close to 100 present. The visitors were
welcomed to Austin by Mayor A. P.
Wooldridge of Austin and on behalf of
the county, County Judge Wm. Von
Rosenberg, Jr., extended welcome. The
responce was delivered by Wm. Wendt,
tax assessor of Washington county.
The feature of today’s meeting was the
annual address of John Reed, president
of the association in which here viewed
the affairs of the organization for the
past year. Elaborate plans for the en-
tertainment of the visitors are to be
carried out.
By Associated Press.
Petrograd, via London, Dec. 8.—The
Bourse Gazette estimates that German
casualties in the month of fighting
around Lodz were 100,000 and says the
percentage of loss is particularly high
among commanding and commissioned
officers. Even colonels and occasion-
ally generals, it says, remained on the
firing line until they were able to es-
cape only by means of motorcycles.
According to wounded German offi-
cers in the prison camp at Bielostok,
Russia, a number of Turkish officers
are serving in the German army in Po-
land. It is said they have been train-
ing in the German military schools,
and were drafted on account of the
lack of competent officers. The Turk-
ish officers who were sent from Con-
stantinople to Berlin on a commission
in connection with a shipment of war
supplies are said to have been pressed
into the service in Poland.
Special to The Tribune.
Nev/ York, Dec. 8.—With 60 million
dollars’ worth of big guns now being
turned out by the steel mills and hun-
dreds of millions more in shoes,
clothes, canteens, horses and motors
claimed in contracts by the busy agents
of the armies abroad, the first real
business boom of war times has today
set its stimulus on commercial circles
here. That a billion dollars’ worth of
campaign orders will be placed in
American markets before the winter is
over is prophesied by the men who are
making money on this novel line of
war agency. With Yankee trade genius
now free to annex the whole world as
its market, the prophets are beginning
to forecast bigger and better business
before the cold days are over.
DEATH DEALS.
Dragging the dives of the whole un-
derworld for the gunmen who were
hired to do to death a reputable rival
in business, the police are this week
struggling hard to put a stop to the
commercial killing that it now seems
sure menaces business men as well as
gamblers all over town. If the Baff
murder was not purchased by the poul-
try ring thac he defied, the public are
demanding to see sure proofs that mur-
der can not enter into merchantile
deals. Only when the detectives haul
to justice the slayers of this inoffen-
sive dealer and determine what was be-
hind them, will it be shown that life
barter can not be made a part of trade
schemes here, it is believed.
TICKERS TICK.
Grasping eagerly at the few dollars
in fees to be made by handling the
bond sales with which a try at open-
ing the stock exchange is being made,
every broker in town is now rejoicing
that he has something to do besides
pay office expenses. Though the dyed-
in-the-wool Wall street fans are pro-
claiming this resumption of the ticker’s
revolutions as a sure sign of business
restoration, the workers of the rest of
town are going on their way with lit-
tle thought of its effect one way or
the other. Before trade takes up its
old swing here, they declare, there
must be done something more than
juggle securities.
BRIDEGROOM BOSS.
That a honeymoon was the last thing
to be expected of old Dick Croker was
the firm belief of his Tammany inti-
mates, who are today still startled to
realize that the ancient boss has be-
come bridegroom. Now that the man
who was considered as laid on the shelf
after over three score and ten years
has come back to take a bride, every-
one is wondering if he may not stay
to fight the younger braves for the
leadership of the Wigwam. Should the
resurrected boss again grasp for his
old political power, no one could be
more surprised than the public is now
at his personal rejuvenation.
KNITTING KNOTS.
As more than a million knitting
needles are steadily plied by the ladies
of Greater New York in almost all
their waking hours, the leaders of the
fad for fashi'oning shirts, bands and
bandages for the soldiers abroad are
now beginning to ship huge crates of
these queer knit goods to the front. In
parlor, street-car, store, limousine and
lunch-room, the women hereabouts
seem never to be without their yarn
and needlework for the various causes
of clothing the fighters and refugees.
If half as much work could be devoted
by these ladies to making clothing for
the destitute here, it would be a warm
winter for everyone in the local tene-
ment sections where suffering is just
as keen as oversea.
ment of the Jewish question is essen-
tial to the complete success of the
great scheme to Which Russia is
pledged, and will recognize that it is
precisely to the Polish Jews that the
reconstitution of the Jewish state
would make the strongest appeal.”

Athletic Player Goes to the Chicago
Americans.
Philadelphia, Dec. 8.—Eddie Collins,
star second baseman, was sold today
to the Chicago Americans, according
to Connie Mack, manager of the cham-
pion Athletics. Negotiations have been
under way for some time and the deal
was consummated in New York today,
the contracts being signed ip that

having kept himself in condition all
along, his training will be merely to
keep himself on edge for the coming
bout.
Johnny Simpson is the pugilistic idol
of the Seventh regiment, now located
at Fort Crockett; he holds the title of
undefeated welterweight champion of
the second army division and he men
of his regiment believe he will un-
doubtedly prove to be the best man in
the coming encounter. He came back
from Vera Cruz with the returned
United States soldiers bringing with
him the scalp of the negro boxing
champion of Mexico, a trophy he cap-
tured while in Vera Cruz, and while in
that city, he kept in trim by defeating
a number of other local celebrities.
A number of efforts have been made
to get these two artists together but
up to this time they have failed. Man-
yon was en route to Vera Cruz to en-
deavor again to get the men together

New York, Dec. 8.—Organized base-
ball was represented here today by
American, National and International
league magnates, and the opinion pre-
vailed that these representatives
awaited orders from the national com-
mission to begin a war on the Federal
league that will tell for all time
whether there shall be two or three
major leagues.
All forecasters were unanimous in
saying that the national commission
at its meeting today will issue war or-
ders, including instructions to black-
list players who desert organized base-
ball for the Federals.
The meeting of the national com-
mission was to open the day’s record
of baseball sessions, and from the gov-
erning body the program for whatever
National league action against the Fed-
erals is taken is expected to come.
A meeting of the National league
board of directors was set for later
today, prior to the annual league meet-
ing.
The presence of President Johnson
and a majority of the American league
club owners gave rise to reports that
a special meeting of that body would
be held here this week to back up the
parent organizations and the national
commission in the fight to restrict the
baseball field.

“The events of the moment
The Second Army division camp at
Texas City is to be the scene of a fis-
tic encounter on the afternoon of
Thursday, Dec. 14th, which is likely to
establish the boxing championship of
the United States army and incident-
ally furnish the, men of the second di-
vision at Texas City and Fort Crockett
a day of sport which will long after
be the subject of mess room and club
hall discussion. The event will be a
ten-round sparring match between
Louie Albert of the Third Field artil-
lery, now at Fort Sam Houston and
Johnny Simpson of the Seventh Infan-
try now in camp at Fort Crockett.
John J. Manyon, private. of company
D, 16th infantry, here on furlough, has
just completed final arrangements for
the meeting of these two men neither
of whom has ever met defeat, and
Lieut. Brown of the Twenty-second in-

charge of the arrangements so that the
soldier boys areassured of a contest
the like of which it is not often their
good fortune to see.

of that place gave him a belt the val-

Houston, Dec. 8.—The Southern ho-
tel men convened this morning for
three days of deliberations to be spent
between Houston and Galveston. Al-
fred S. Amer of New Orleans is presi-
dent, and about eighty others are pres-
ent from Southern states. Otto Herold
of Dallas is mentioned as Amer’s suc-
cessor, the election being scheduled
for Wednesday.
how immediately Egyptian integrity is
imperilled by the fact that a right of
way through Palestine is open to a
hostile power. Palestine must become
either British or neutral. There is an
obvious political objection to a Brit-
ish occupation. Neutrality is the more
desirable solution.
But if Palestine is to become neutral,
who is to govern it? Directly that
question is raised the claim of the
Jews forces itself upon our attention.
We have to deal with the remarkable
fact that a people which lost its coun-
try over two thousand years ago still
cherishes the memory of that loss, and
links the hope of recovery with its
deepest religious instincts.
“Here then we have two influences
at work for the reestablishment of a
Jewish state—the British desire for a
neutral Palestine, and the territorial
instinct of the Jews themselves. There
is a third influence. Russia has
pledged herself to the reestablishment
of an autonomous Poland under the
czar. But in Poland, as we know it
now, there is one obvious obstacle
to the development of a Polish state
strong in its national consciousness,
