Washington, Sept. 23.-In re-
markable statement issued my Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo today ne
threatens severe discipline for the
national banks which may hoard
money, refuse reasonable accommodate
ticns or charge excessive rates of
interest. He declared there is no
necessity for boarding money. A.
daily list OF the banks maintaining
excessive reserves will be published
by the treasury department in order
that the public may know the banks
which are keeping money out OF
circulation.
Secretary McAdoo gave out the fol-
lowing telegram which he sent to
ten national banks in four reserve
cities in the South"

You can. however, if you desire, with

posted by you aid use them as

curreny if you make application
therefor. am informed that many
banks in your state are refusing to
make any loans for crop moving pur-
poses. and that in many cases good
loans are rejected or unreasonable

EIGHT FARMERS AIDED

Something more than 100 bales of
distress cotton were sold at 10 cents
per pound in Pine Bluff as the result
of the buy-abale campaign, and many
others have promised to take a bale
in a few days. Not all of this cotton,
however, was purchased through the
Buy-a-Bale club. and because of this
the exact number of bales retired can
not be given.
Few of the retailers. wholesalers
and other business men who wrote out
of town connections in regard to the
movement have had time to receive
replies. When these come in, the list
will probability be extended because
the business houses in other sections
are displaying generous disposition
to aid the South at this time by the
purchase of cotton at 10 cents.
The Buy-a-Bale day campaign was
not as successful as expected, the
time being too short for the ladies to
cover thoroughly the territory as
signed them. Also they found, that
many prospects" had already bought
cotton independently. In addition to
these unfavorable circumstances, it
was also found there was opposition
to the movement in the most unex-
pected quarters People who were
not expected to purchase distress cot
ton because they are not directly con-
cerned, proved patriotic and bought
Others who were expected to aid the
farmer because they are directly con-
cerned did not.
Withal, the ladies who contributed
their talents to the committee in a
desire to aid the South achieved con-
siderable success. Mrs. J. w. Craw-
ford led in placing distress cotton,
securing purchasers for twenty-five
bales. Other ladies who took part in
the philanthropic work are Mrs. w.
P. TONNE, Mrs. A. ]. Guenther, Mrs
E. B. Bloom, Mrs. J. C. Meyer, Miss
Anna Can't. Mrs. A. w. Lee, Mrs. Lee
Fox and Mrs. Leo Andrews.
Retires Eight Bales.
Eight bales of distress cotton were
retired yesterday through the Buy-a-
Bale club, the growers receiving 10
cents pound for their product
Among those aided in this way was
Mrs. Minnie Evans, a widow who
would have been compelled to sell io1

wreckers was found near the scene OF
the derailment.
The train was in charge of Conduc-

got in communication with officials
in Little Rock, after considerable diff

torn down by the wreck, which cut

A relief train carrying surgeons
and nurses was rushed Out of Little

London, Sept. 23-The fall OF
Paroslau, the Austrian fortified posi-

NOSE decisive stroke announced from
the continental battlefields in the past
"A hours. The Russian occupation of
this important fortified railroad

than anything reported from France
for several days past.
The Russian army which took
Jaroslau by storm is in hot pursuit
of the Austrians, who are reported to
be retreating on Cracow. AS Pre-

Washington, Sept. 23.-General Villa
has defied Provisional President Car
rama and has set UP an Independent
revolution in Mexico. Both leaders
have thrown armies into the field and
there is every indication that battle
will be fought probably at Zacatecas
within a very few hours. The split
is definite and complete and marks
new era of revolution in Mexico In
a statement issued tonight from the
Carranza representation in the Next
can embassy headquarters here Villa
is shown to have disavowed General
Carranza as the "first chief" of the
constitutionalists and !General Car
rama in return has acknowledged the
breach.
Villa has announced he will not par
ticipate in the convention of generals
and governors scheduled for October
l in Mexico City at which a proyi-
sional president to be designated.
General Carranze has suspended
railway communication between Tor
reon and Aguas Calientes, and General
Villa has seized the Northern railway
and is rushing thousands of troops
southwark to meet 10000 constitution
alists reported to have fortified Ia
catecas.
No date has been set for the with
drawal of the American troops from
Vera Cruz and it is understood here
tonight that the evacuation of that
port by General Funston will be de-
layed until this new controversy is
settled.
The general reports coming from
Mexico indicated that after the con-
ference to be held there on October
1, Villa would be chosen first chief
of the constitutionalists. and it was
not thought that would make this
move before the conference met.

The allies have gained all along the
line, but at terrific cost. The Ger
man attempt to pierce the French
line from near Rheims has been
abandoned. The fighting here has
been confined to artillery action, the
German fusillade acting as screen
for a general retreat which is imml-
nent, if, indeed. it has not already be-
gun, as indicated by reports from the
front. This retreat is planned to COW
er the avenues of escape of the Ger
man right wing and the army Of the
German crown prince, both OF which
are in great peril.
General Won Kluck is believed to be
preparing for a precipitate retreat to
a new line of defense, probably with
Valenciennes as it's base. His strong
est position now is in the angle of
the Aisne and the Disc. The French
left on the right bank Of the Disc is
swinging it's line around until the
center rests on the heights Of Las
signay. From this point the most Of
fensive movement has been directed.
While the allies on the left bank Of
the Disc and north of the Aisne have
been content to hold their entrench-
ed position.

Dan Dale's Run
BY ALEX BONNER.

Get ready, set, bang!" Right after
the shot twelve boys, clad in run
ming suits, dashed away amid shouts,
cheering, whistling and catoalls. The
boys were representatives of the four
academies, Hilton, Randall, River
view and Carlton. making three boys
from each academy. 1t was a cross
country run of FIVE miles, and a prize,
silver cup, was to be awarded to
the winning academy. 1t was the
general opinion that Carlton would
win, but this fact did not, even If it
was intended to, discourage Cartons
closest rival, Hilton. Cartons repre-
sentatives consisted of the far-famed
George White, Ganway and Void.
Hilton's boys were Dan Dale,
'Nervy'' Norman and Shiplo. Now to
go on with the story,
Randale's boys foolishly sprinted at
the very start, while Riverview's
boys, though they did not sprint, ran
very swiftly, keeping closely behind
Randall. Carlton and Hilton kept
together, trotting slowly. The boys
were stopped many times, but they
kept on. They waded through shall
low brooks. jumped fences and per
formed many other such feats. Soon
Randale's and Riverview's boys we're
left behind and the race was between
Hilton and Carlton. They already
had traversed four miles and the only
obstacle in the fifth was the rail-
road tracks, which could hardly be
called an obstacle. The boys sped on.
Suddenly as they were APPROACH
ing the railroad track the shrin

The death of a woman of royal

Mexico continues to be subject to

President Wilson is warned to
safeguard his health through this

Few birthdates in December are
said to be lucky this year. Those
whose anniversary comes today may

financial problems will arise, but
changes of abode or travel may i'm
prove prospects.
Children born on this day probably
will be exceedingly fond of travel
