PASSENGER SHIP
FROM GERMANY.
First to United States Since July
1914. ?
New York.?The first passenger
ship to sail from a German port to
the United States since July, 1914,
and. the first American passenger
ship to undertake a similar voyage
had reached here when the American
line steamer Manchuria docked. She
sailed from Hamburg, January 9,
calling at Southampton, and brought
39 passengers, all front the English
port.
Capt. Adrian Zeeder, master of the
Manchuria# said he could have filled
his ship to overflowing at Hamburg
with passengers for America had the
passport regulations and restrictions
as to travel permitted. Applications
were numerous and Germans expresseid
regrets that they could not come
to this country.
It required eight days of 24 hours
each, working three eight hour shifts
to discharge at Hamburg the 5,000
tons of cargo the Manchuria took
with her to Germany, officers of the
ship said. This work could have been
done before the war in about 24 hours
and the tdelay was said to be due to
tl^ listless manner in which the
German dock workers labored. The
officers said they were low of spirit,
apparently suffering from malnutrition,
and displayed little ambition.
Food was said to be scarce, but
those with money have no trouble in
Setting all they want, ship officers
declared. A party of five from the
Manchuria dined, at a prominent
Hamburg hotel and paid for their
meal 409 marks. On the other hand,
atnrv vos tnlH nf nno r>f the flor
man dockers begging from the steward
of the ship a piece of frozen
beef, which he eagerly devoured raw.
The Manchuria brought with her
from Germany 200 bags of mail and
a quantity of cargo, including phosphates.

WANNAMAKER SEES
COTTON COMBINE.
European and American Speculators
in League.
In a statement issued Saturday, J.
Skottowne Wannamaker, president of
the American Cotton association
charges that a combine has been formed
by certain European and American
gamblers, manipulators and spec,
ulators to beat down the prices of
cotton and to affect the direct sale of
off grade cotton. He declared that
reports received by the association
from Europe and from' this country
show the absolute certainty that the
demand far exceeds the sunnlv.
# "Investigation made throughout
Europe and America," said Mr. Wannamaker,
"by representatives standing
at the head of the cotton industry
brings to light beyond the shadow
of doubt the fact that we are facing
the most bullish situation that has
ever existed in cotton in the last 60
years. There is every indication that

combines of manipulators and manu
facturers in England and America
who were caught short on the cottoi
market, have been formed for the pur
pose of beating down prices and pri
marily for the specific purpose o
defeating the direct sale of low gradi
cotton by the American Cotton asso
ciation, realizing that the success o
this sale means the certainty of fa
higher prices, which would in turn
cause them fabulous losses."
Mr. Wannamaker made public a re
port from a representative of thi
American Cotton association in Eng
lonH whirh savs in Dart:
"Following a complete researcl
throughout Europe we are convince*
that the English manufacturer is rea]
ing huge. profits. He is sellinj
his manufactured products practical
ly without competition. A tremen
dous proportion of the manufactur
ers of Europe are unable to securi
the raw product and the field is en
tirely open to the English spinners
Interviews and investigations brini
to light the fact that Europe will inx
port the largest amount of America!
cotton ever imported at any simila
period within the last 50 years. Th<
European spinners are alarmed ove:
the shortage of the supply of rav
cotton and feel sure that it will b<
exhausted before their pressing de
mand can be supplied. Certain spec
ulators are enormously short on com
mitment8 of cotton sold at far lowei
prices. Certain manufacturers an
also caught on short sales. They hav<
combined with certain American ant
European speculators in. a desperat*
effort to beat prices down, realiz
ing that once the true conditions an
known it will be utterly impossible t<
prevent cotton from soaring to fai
higher prices. Alarming reports tha1
are being sent out from Europeai
countries are pure fabrications manu
factured for the purpose of enabling
the spinner to turn his product int(
still more fabulous earnings by fore
ing the South to sacrifice raw cotton
With the information in our posses

. bale of raw cotton at prices far highk,
er than the highest price being paid
i today. Officials, manufacturers and
business men of Europe agree that
- rehabilitation of Europe is absolutely
f dependent upon securing raw cotton
e from America. Europe is alarmed
i- over shortage in raw cotton and you
f can rest assured that no combination
r of spinners and manufacturers will
i, be permitted by their manipulation
to endanger the opportunity of Europe
securing raw cotton."'
p Mr. Wannamaker quotes an American
expert as saying "The absurdity
|of the threat of English exporters to
'snip conon DacK 10 mis wuuuj u
],farcical. There is-one thing that the
salvation of European countries de[
pends absolutely on?production. The
?'spinning industry is the most important
of all in the rehabilitation of the
future of Great Britain and Europe.*'
Mr. Wannamaker says that the
? views of the two experts prove beyond
a shadow of doubt that there
will be a demand for every bale of
' cotton in existence; that present conditions
of the market are the result
1 of a concentrated, prearranged comr
bine on the part of the gamblers,
? manipulators and certain manufac- A'
r turers in a desperate effort to beat
'* down. the prices before the flood gate p(
e are open and the law of supply and
demand is permitted to sweep the ^
" deck, at which time it is fully real"
ized that raw cotton will vanish like
r snow before the July sun." *'
J Mr. Wannamaker urges farmers to
i hold their spot cotton. "We are PreJ
pared," he says, "to put every bale #
5 of cotton shipped back to this coun*
try from Europe by this combine." n
