A week ago it was announced that
the government still held 244,000
bales of July for delivery, in the
local market. This cotton has been
coming out steadily and rapidly
during the past week with an urg-
ent demand for trade shorts.
During the process the July price
advanced over $1.50 a bale, selling
Friday morning at 12:04 cents a
pound compared with 11.70 cents
on Friday of last week.
The strength in the market was
believed to reflect a scarcity of
spot cotton to fill the rapidly ex-
panding demand prompted by the
increased activity in the textile
markets.

Former President Saavedra, chief

Germany Would Be Mediator.
Berlin, June 22.—German di-
plomacy hopes to nose out France,
as a mediator between Great Bri-
tain and Italy. I
No one will admit this officially
but . circumstantial evidence as well
as information obtained privately
ih the Wilhelmstrasse and in for-
eign embassies all point that way.
German diplomacy has quietly
been spreading the idea that radi-
cal France, headed by a Leftist
government, has joined the list of
Bolshevist-infested nations.
Great Britain and Italy, both op-
ponents of Communism, so. the the-
sis’ runs, should get together and,
with Germany and possibly Poland,
preserve European civilization from
what was described as cultural and
political debacle.

Duce said he knows what the arm-

do if those who have been called

brought back to reason or at least
reduced to impotence.
Victor is Ours.
‘His phrase, crazy with the heat,
echoed that of the press' recently
in referring to hose who demanded
a continuance of sanctions.
/Bersaglieri soldiers, wearing black
hats with drooping rooster feathers,
celebrated the 100 th anniversary
of their formation and honored the
memory of King Carlo Alberto of
Sardina.
“Victory is all purs, only ours
and indisputably ours',” Mussolini
told the troops with whom he
fought in the World War, in which
he was wounded. “I who lived with
you in time of peace and fought
with you in time of war know what

“At the beginning of the second

Paris, June 22.—Several thousand
members of the Rightist war vet-
erans’ organization Croix De Feu
fought police and mobile guards
Sunday who attempted to prevent
them from parading.
The veterans had been ordered
to demonstrate in a protest against
the Leftist government of Premier
Leon Blum by their chief, Col.
Francois De La Rocque.
The Rightists formed a line of
march at the Arch of Triumph
and started toward the Place De
La Concorde crying “Long live De
La Rocque.”
They refused to heed a police
warning to disperse and truckloads
of mobile guards were rushed to re-
inforce police. Hand to hand fight-
ing last nearly half an hour.
Although none was reported se-
riously wounded, a score of arrests
were made.

More Beer Raids
in Ennis, Charges
\ Against Three
Follow-up raids on alleged beer
joints in Ennis’ by Deputy Sheriffs
Muirhead, Cariker and Rogers re-
sulted in the filing of charges
against three business men of this
city says Sheriff Fearis.
A quantity of beer was taken
from the places. Two of them had
been raided earlier in the week, but
officers' declared they opened up
again after the raids.
It is expected, officers said, that
many of the more than a score of
liquor and beer law violators, will
again attempt to sell the intoxi-
cants. However, Sheriff Fearis de-
clared that the raids would con-
tinue.

Washington, June 20.—Resigna-
tion of Col. Lawrence Westbrook
as assistant admniistrator of the
Works Progress Administration, ef-
fective July 1, was announced Fri-
day by Administrator Harry L.
Hopkins.
In announcing his acceptance
of Colonel Wesetbrook’s resignation,
Mr. Hopkins said:
“His' resignation as assistant ad-
ministrator does not mean at all
the severance of his association
with the Works Progress Adminis-
tration. I am appointing him chair-
man of the WPA advisory board
and I expect to make full use of
his advice and assistance in car-
rying out our new program.”
Services Appreciated.
Both President Roosevelt and
Hopkins expressed appreciation of
Westbrook’s service to the WPA
and his interest in guiding those
who work on farm to gain land
ownership.
Colonel Westbrook was born on
a farm in Central Texas where his
grandfather had broken virgin
prairie land. He was operating this
farm after the World War, when,
in 1920, farmers of the country
chose him as manager of their new
co-operative marketing organiza-

in the upper Adriatic.
Limits Land Forces.
Italy would have the superior air
position. It would keep permanent-
ly 100 planes in Libya and another
200 would be divided between Sicily
and the Aegean Islands.
Land forces and Egypt and Libya
would be limited to 75,000 men by
each country, of which one third
