Mr, Lever asked that th2 overnment authorities agree on a rogram that "will remove the retrictionsh which at present shackle hie free movement of cotton and other irm droducts. The letter wassentto unairman :aruch, of the War Industries Board: hairnun -MeCormick, of the War 'rade Board; Director Rosseter, of tie ship operation bureau of the Shiping Board; Governor Harding, of the 'ederal Reserve Board; Secretary fouston and Director General Mcdoo. of the ralroad administration. "The price of cotton has been forced own twenty odd dollars a bale, as the esult, it seems, of a concerted ef)rt." said the - letter, which pointed ut that there is a world shortage of Dtton. and asserted that the only exuse to the attitude of the cotton mar., et is the result of domestic consumpon being unequal to the quantity of >tton on hand. "If the various agencies of the srovrnment," the letter continued, "were 1 a position to give assurance that le thrugh bill of lading is to be estored, that the reserve banks shall ontinue a liberal attitude in the mat_ ir of rediscount of cotton collateral, lat adequate "onnago is to 'be proided, not inconsistent with the miliiry needs of the government?and lat restrictions upon the exportation f cotton are to be removed, as far s safety warrants, it is quite clear lat the price of cotton would reappoint commensurate with its ntrin ic value. "This is the harvesting season for le cotton producer. Delay can only erve to give the benefit of normal Larketins to those who do not produce ae raw material. Every day's delay 1 restoring the normal movement of otton entails a loss upon the proucer.

"Eye for Eye," Famous Star Says, ' Exactly Expresses the Spirit of This 3Iitrhty Drama of the West ;;nd Far 1 ! East. 9 ! i "Eye for Eye," the title of .Mme. I Nasimova's forthcoming superfeature, J j with Richard A. Rowland r.nd -Max-1 j well Karger will present soon, was j | chosen by the distinguished star her- j j self from a list of fifty titles submit-j i ted. "Eye for Eye" is the name that j ,!has been given the screen versioa of ' the o-reat three-act play, ''L'Occident," j by the Belgian dr/imatiot. Henry Kiste. | maeckers, which Albert Capcllani and ' | June Mathis have adapted for Mmo. ; Xazimova's use. with Mr. Capellani : directing. ( j "The reason I chose the title "Eye i ; for Eye" from the list of those sl?>- \ I ! mitted." says Mme. Xnziraova who' i j will be seen in the fasc'nating role of , Hassouna, a girl of the desert, is because it exactly expresses the meaning of the play. The original title, i meaning 'The Occident,' expresses it j too, but unfortunately a great many ' reop e do not understand French, nr.l to many minds 'The Occident' means : very little more. Kistemaekers want, ed to bring out in his great drama the l | vital difference between the standards of the Eastern and Western worlds? j the Orient and the Occident. i i "Because the words 'Air Eye for an I ; eye, and a tooth for a tooth' appear in | the Bible, many people consider that they are wholly Hebraic in application. That is not the case. 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth'- is the rule : throughout the Orient. It is the Musselman's creed." I "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for j ! j a tooth" is also the creed of Hassouna., the heroine and principal of the play. ; She is a true daughter of the Orient.! , The drama records the struggle be- i ; tween her as a representative of the. ! Orient and Capt. Cadiere, (played by ' ' Charles Bryant) as a representative j of the Occident?the Eastern and Western worlds in conflict. Hassouna j being an Oriental, wants revongo.
