ON HURRY ORDERS.
Three British Warships Sent to the
Gulf of Mexico.

Galveston, Aug. 27.-An official
statement from the British consulate
here today said three British warships
have been sent at full speed to protect
cotton and oil traffic in the Gulf of
Mexico.
The statement follows:
The British consulate is Informed
that three British warships have been
sent at full speed to afford protection
to cotton and oil traffic in the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t is rumored that the French
cruiser Condo has sunk the German
ship, ALAMEDA, and the British cruiser
Donegal has captured the North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Brandenburg.
Sending of the British ships to the
gulf is probably the result of reports of
the presence of German warships in
those waters. Several British tank
steamers are engaged in the oil trade
between Mexico and the United States.
No further details were given by the
consulate.

Evacuation by the Austrian Army Is
Announced.

London, Aug. GA dispatch to the
Havas agency from Kraguyevatz, Ser
via, declares that the Austrian army
has evacuated the sanjak of Novipazar.
The sanjak of Novipazar is strip
of ground lying between Montenegro
and Servia. Up to the time of the
Balkan war i'll 1913, it belonged to
Turkey. -
BY the Berlin treaty Of 1873, Aus
tria-Hungary was empowered to gar
rison certain strategic points within
the sanjak, but these troops following
the annexation by Austria OF the prov
inces Of Bosnia and Herzegovina were
Withdrawn.
During the Balkan war, Austria
Hungary again seized upon the Occa-
sion to occupy the sanjak and this oc-
cupation in large measure served to
neutralize the Servian victories in
those wars.

Every year, the Universi- ty has applications from citizens of the state for work in all of these de- partments and an examination of cat alogs of schools outside of the state shows that many Arkansas students are taking such courses.

Little Rock, March 5.-J. H. Bynum of New Castle, Ind, has been in the city for several days looking over in- vestments he and his associates ex- pect to make in coal lands. He has been here particularly looking up the laws of Arkansas relative to large in- terests, declaring this has become the most important part of the business now, for if laws are unfavorable in this state, it would be folly to make heavy investments in Arkansas. La bor conditions in northern states, due to the labor organizations entering politics, is the principal reason why MT. Bynum desires to invest in Ar kansas.

* AMUSEMENTS
 THE GIRL OF THE UNDERWORLD

! HE WAANA VT lnG ONDLhV V1GAD
 ''The Girl of the Underworld" which plays at the Elks theatre to- night is perhaps one of the few plays that presents to the public a vivid story of the much discussed question of the underworld life in a manner that not only clearly shows all the real life but goes into the subject from every angle, so that the auditor. after witnessing the performance, leaves the theatre with better understanding in truth of life than has yet been attempted in other dramas. Different in structure from most plays of this type, the author, Jack German. has happily dismissed all that could possibly offend and in its stead has built plot that is clean and free from all or anything objectionable. yet at the same time telling story on a tense and inter esting style. Comedy of the better sort is a sense of relief to the more intense situations, so that the en- tire play combines in itself an enter tainment of worth in every degree The presenting company is one that has been drawn from the forces o1 some of the best metropolitan com panies while the production is fully adeuate in every detail. Seats are on sale this afternoon.

ATTY. GEN. MOOSE
 SAYS "DON'T DO IT"
Candidates Who Failed To File Pledges Are Advised to Drop
 Getting On Ticket.

Little Rock, March GA number of appeals for relief have been made to Attorney-general Moose by candidates who failed to get their pledges filed in time as prescribed by the Cor rupt Practice act The most not able instances are w. w. Albright candidate for State Senator from Boone County and J. C. Cash, candi- date for assessor of Arkansas. .Mr. Cash came to Little Rock and called personally upon the Attorney-general for advice Judge Moose has advised all of them that he knows of no way in which they can get relief for their oversight, but that in view of the penalties prescribed in the act, it would be best for them to make no effort to get on the ticket.
 The statute specifically prescribes that all candidates in a primary elec- tion shall file their pledges with the ueSlSHdteu dulHoTllleS HoC LooS IudA thirty days preceding the election, and another section provides pen atty of not to exceed $1,000 or im- prisonment not exceeding one year, or both, for violation of any provis- ions of the act. Therefore a strict interpretation of the act would mean the prosecution of any candidate who persisted in placing his name before the people, despite his failure to file the pledge as required by law.
