First, and most important, was the
news that Armenia hud - *concluded an
armistice with the Turkish national
ists. whose seat of government is in
Angora. The Turks had captured
Kjir 4 s and Alexandropol and were
moving toward Erivan. The Geor
gians being threatened, were mobiliz
ing on their frontiers and hoped to
save Bn turn. This action of the Ar
menians opens the way for direct
Junction of the nationalists and the
Russian soviet forces and creates a
serious condition for Great Britain,

Some fool friends of the Irish, In
this country, sent to the British chief
secretary for Ireland a threat .of re
prisals against Englishmen resident in
the United States, “if there are any
more reprisals In Ireland on and after
the fourteenth day of November.” The
British embassy in Washington has
called the attention of the State de
partment to this and it is understood
the department has started an imesti-
gation.

The association said it had no re
port* of any “immediate shortage”
from any section of the country.
Decreased prices have resulted ss
a national consequence of the im
proved situation, the review declar
ed, adding that in many places the
decline had been “from 25 to 50 per
cent, below prices whiab held up to
a few weeks ago.”
The geological survey’s weekly re
port issued today estimated bitumin
ous production during the week
ending November 6 to have been only

holidays in the coal fields. Produc

Mr. Brown takes the position that
if the bankers of the state will as
sume a leadership in an acreage re
duction campaign in Georgia it wilt
bring a concert of action not only in
this but in the other cotton states,
since formal action in Georgia will
be followed by a spread of the cam

The governor of Texas has issued
a proclamation in which he states
that every farmer is being canvas
sed to sign a contract to reduce his
cotton acreage at least 33 1-3 per
cent, and that they are complying
cheerfully, adding that “Texas will
reduce her 1921 cotton acreage 33-
1-3 per oent.”
