MOST MOMENTOUS SESSION. '-Skwwitor Smith's Opinion of Extraordinary Session. Colombia, May 12 ? "I consider the extraordinary session of Concalled to meet by President WjQsos May 19, will be the most momentous session of Congress 'Jkuust that which ratified the Federal Gwnstitution,'' said Senator E. D. 'jimith, who was in Columbia today am the way to the cotton convention, Cm Ik* opened at New Orleans nextl Ttw-sday The Senator considers that the vnmnt treaty, including the league of Millions will be affirmed by the Senate sarbstautially as signed with the prob~?Me exception of a few amendments. What these amendments would be he did not explain, merely stating that his opinion, they would not materially effect the treaty. 9enator Smith said that the satisfies! position of cotton was never jpreater in its history than at this atrifff. -"Despite the fluctuations inci?tant to agricultural readjustment firam a war to a peace basis," he wteied. "I declare that the statistical position of cotton has never been te&er. When the peace treaty is smgned there will be a demand for ontlon, as the shelves of the world are ?ntpty. -These wants will have -t0 be flflled," continued the Senator^ "And what do we find. The apparent vist.Me .supply is approximately 5,000,<*Jbales short of the world wants of rJbe near future. Taking into consideration on the curtailment of acreage JShe reduction of the purchase in fer*4?r*ers, the next crop to which must be added the brought over supply :ai that which is being held for increased prices, will give a total of thirteen and one-half million bales.*' "'What does this mean?" he conWnded.

Ever Acted With I i .ay Calr Than IE MOT* uaii?rm j iv ?mimj ? . ... , Did He and His Doughboy j Pals to This Little White J Ha)rod Woman Dress- I sd Exquisitely in Black. By GRACE GOULDER. (With the American Y. W. C. A. Overseas.) Coblenz, Germany, March 28 (By Mull.) It happened right here In Coblena. i big corporal came Into the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House and asked for the director, Miss Ruth Wood small, who comes from Colorado springs, Colo. |t "Could my mother stay here?" he began at once, trying his best to cover his excitement | "Your mother!" gasped Miss Woodsmall. "How did your mother ever get here?" "Well, she isn't here yet but If she comes will you keep her?" j "Of course I will, but?" She didn't finish, for the boy had smashed his cap back on his head and was out of the door on a run. The corporal's visit remained a mystery for two days. Then one evening Just at dusk a little white haired woman dressed exquisitely In black ap peared in tne sitting room 01 tne nosiess House, nnd the corporal was hovering behind her, trying to be beside her and back of her and In front of her all at once. He was carrying her coat?a big fur one.^ With them were three doughboys, pais of the corporal. They tried to keep in the background, but their eyes were glued on her face. Everyone In the sitting room sat at attention. There are no English speaking men or women out of uniform In the Third Army area. Yet here was a woman in civilian clothes. Mothers are unheard of with the array. But this was a mother, everyone knew. After awhile someone found out f bout this mother. I Had Been Interned During War. I She and her husband, who were J born in Germany, but had been nat- If uralized, lived In San Francisco. Be- I fore the war they left for Welsbaden, ( Germany, that their invalid daughter \ might have treatment at this famous health resort They brought their other children with them. One was Walter, a sranll boy, and the other was Ralph, now Corporal Stepp of the American Army. When the war was declared they sent Ralph back to America, because he was of military age, and they did not want him to fight for the kaiser. Then America entered the war. ? Otann Ux Anna Cfnnn cha la! iUl AUiO, <&uua UVV|/J/ o??v .u ?told this part of the story: "Until a month ago I hadn't heard t0, from Italph for two years and a half? h" even before America got In the war 164 mail was held up. I didn't know mm whether he was In the army or notebut I was sure he was, because?well, because be la an American." Here she stopped a minute to smile up at him. "After awhile we heard from some friends that he was In the army?and that he had come over here. That was all I ever knew. It's nearly five years since I have sees him! "Of course It was awfully hard?I couldn't get word to him and he couldn't to me. My husband used to tell me It wouldn't help Ralph any for me to cry. I tried not to?before the rest of them anyway. My daughter got worse steadily?she is no better. We couldn't get the proper food for her after awhile. And she hated to see me worried about Ralph, so I used to fry,to keep up before them. "I.ast January my husband came to Coblenr about his citizen papers. An American soldier In Ralph's company who was In the office heard his name and asked him If he was any relation to Ralph. He didn't tell him Ralph ?- ? k..i. A. was 11: 1 uuitiiA, i?ui aiitri iv?u|?m. He didn't tell Rnlph his father was h??re. When they met they couldn't believe their eyes. "Ever since then I have been trying to see Ralph. Fie couldn't come to V.Telshaden because It was out of the American area, and I couldn't get through until today?more than two months." They ashed her if her Ralph had changed much In nil that time. "Oh, yes?very much. Rut do you know, I think '.z Is because ali that ; long time when I didn't know where ! he was or how he was?I got in the habit of thinking of hint as lie was when he was a baby?I kept seeing 1 h m as a ha by r.nd remembering the' wmv he felt when he was little.
