IEMSTI STILL SUPREME IN Mini/rrp nr u/nni n mm i our wunLu Will Hold Dominant Positiox For Some Years, Says Bureai of Markets Review Washington, April 13.?America! cotton holds a dominant position iz the world's cotton markets, and wil nnntinno fa hnJd this DQSition at le?SI (or some years, despite the effort* of other countries to become less dtpendent upon the product of the United States, according to a review o! the world cotton situation issued bj the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture"There are three factors which contribute to this preeminence: "The quantity produced in this country, the need for cotton with staple and other characteristics of the American cotton, and an increasing ^orld consumption of cotton," says the report "The annual Increase haa been estimated at 560,000 to 800,000 bales ol n00 pounds. For some years approximately per cent of the world's cotton supply has been produced in th T'nited States, and in pre-war times a uuuu uo pci v;eui ui luc quauuiy pruduced in the United States was exported. This means that foreign countries have been dependent upon the United States for somewhat more than 25 per cent of their supply. This fact, together with the desirable quality of the American staple, has resulted in the pre-eminent position the United States occupies today in cotton. "From 1890 to 1914 the United States consumed only about 30 to 39 per cent oi the cotton produced in the United Siate3. Since that time the consumption In this country has been steadily increasing. From a hoiqe use of slightly more than one-third of the crop in pre-war times the United States increased its consumption under the stress of the artificial conditions of war to somewhat more than half the amount produced. During the 1015-16 season 60 per cent of the crop was consumed in this country; during 1916-17 60 per cent; during 1917-18, ftl per cent. The 1918-19 season showed a decline to 48 per cent. OVERMMW HAS 3,000 MEMBERS Birmingham Pioneers Make Final Plans for Concerted Fight on Clothing Costs Birmingham, Ala., April 13.?With 3,000 members enrolled and permanent officers elected, the Birmingham Overall Club, pioneer organization of its kind in the United States, today was making final plans for a mass protest gainst the high cost of clothing. Friday, April 16, was officially set as the date for "donning the denim" at the first meeting of the club in the city courthouse last night. Members pieagea tnemseives to put on overalls that day and continue to wear them until the prices of clothes take a decided drop. They will wear their denims during Working hours and at such other times as they may desire. Tuey will do business only with men who wear overalls. Alvin M. Douglas, former city judge of Birmingham, was elected president, and Theodore Lamar, secretary. Mr. Lamar read letters and telegrams from practically every state in the union supporting the movement and asking for information as to the formation of clubs. Speakers at the organization meeting were bitter in their denunciation of the hi&d cost of clothing. Americans have been in the habit of laughing at the high cost of living, said Judge William E. Fort of the circuit court. "We have been sitting idle as the prices of commodities have mounted sky-high. Now is the time i to do something.

' REVOLTlHf : SULTi SPREADING 1 Political and Religious Pressure | Thrown Into Balance Against Nationalists i , Constantinople, April 12.?Sultan Mehmed VI. of Turkey has thrown all his political and religious power into the balance as a final measure in ' combatting the nationalist movement in Asia Minor. Observers declare the next fortnight will determine whether he can rally any real force to oppose Mustapha Kemal, head of the nationalist movement, who is virtual ruler of most of the Turkish possessions east of the Dardanelles. "Wrath of Heaven and eternal tor! ments of hell" are called down on th? heads of all Moslems who do not support the Sultan by Durrizade Abdulalh, Effendi, the new sheik-ul-Islam He excoriates the nationalists and declares "all Musslemen who kill nationalists will be blessed by Allafc and all who die fighting the rebelf earn eternal glory hereafter." Mobilization of the Sultan's dherents has begun in the island cl the Sea of Marmora and along lie I shores of the Black Sea. Anzevoui Pasha, formerly a Circassian bandit, his organized several thousand opponent* nf the nationalists at Bigha aud Panorma on the Southern shore o; tLe 1 Sea of Marmora and is the most im! portant supporter of the Sultau. Nationalists forces are reported to be closing in on Anzevour in an effort to cut him off from Constantinople and prevent his capture of Brussa, 1 57 miles southeast of here. This is J the ancient capital of Turkey, and ^ the nationalists wish to secure it for t sentimental reasons. They are also 1 said to be approaching close to the * British base at Ismad, but it is doubt' ful if an engagement will be fought f there, as a formidable fleet is sup' porting the British land forces. There is little disposition on the part of Turks in this city to join the Sultan's forces. They say their fa* * Atftiiincr In tbers ana oroiaers aic u6u..UI> ?
