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. We must enter this
movement with the resolve to see it
* through.

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*

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*
