Adjutant General Fred B. Wood of

in such an event the militia might be

IN SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT
Minnesota Delegation in House Stood
Five for and Five Against Mex
lean Resolution.

There is considerable comment over
the fact that the Minnesota house del
egation was divided in it's vote on the
Mexican resolution. Conferences had
been held by the delegation before
the vote was taken and it stood five
for and five against the resolution.
Those who voted to sustain the
president in his present policy were
Representatives Manahan, Smith and
Miller, Republicans, Lindbergh, Pro-
gressive, and Hammond, Democrat.
Representatives Stevens, Stevenson.
Volstad, Anderson and Davis, Repub
licans, voted against the resolution.
Mr.. Manahan said that the five who
voted with the president had talked
the situation over fully before reach
ing their decision.
While none of US feel very kindly
toward the proposition Of a war with
Mexico said Mr. Manahan, 1--WE be-
lieved it our duty to sustain the pres
ident without eQuivocationl in his de-
termination to maintain the dignity of
this nation"
The opinions of those who voted
against the resolution were voiced by
Representative stevens, who said:
I'VE feel that lit would be our duty
TO support the president in anything
which involved the safety, welfare or
honor of the nation, and if q declara,
ton of war with any nation had been
at stake we should ali have cordially
supported the resolution The diff.
Guilty was that no such proposition
was presented for our votes"

PEACE TREATIES
With AMERICA
Great Britain, France,
Spain and China Ready to
Accept Pacts.
WILL INSURE u. S.
PEACE WITH WORLD
Secretary Bryan Believes That by
Christmas Thirty Peace Treaties
Will Have Been
Ratified.

Washington, Sept. 10.-In the midst
| of the European war Great Britain,
France. Spain and China have agreed
to sign peace commission treaties
with the United States. One effect of
the new convention would be to pre-
vent the United States from being sud-
denly drawn into the conflict.
Germany, Russia and Japan have
signified their acceptance of the prin-
ciple of these treaties, though nego-
tiations have not advanced to the
point of drafting conventions. SINH
lar agreements with Turkey and
Greece are almost ready for signature.
The first four treaties are ready
for signatures and are regarded by
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
as of far-reaching Importance. While
negotiations were begun before the
European war broke out their con-
summation practically will safeguard
the United States from being drawn in
over any question Of neutrality or 9TH
er controversy.
With the signing of treaties with
Great Britain, France. Spain and
China, the number of pacts of this
kind negotiated by Secretary Bryan
will number twenty-six. Nineteen
already have been ratified by the
senate. comprising the principal coun-
tries of Central America and South
America. Denmark. Norway, Switzer-
land. Portugal, Italy and The Neither
lands.
Secretary Bryan hopes to have thir-
ty treaties ratified by Christmas,
which he believes will insure the
peace of the United States with the
entire world.
The treaties with Great Britain,
France, Spain and China provide that
all disputes of every nature whatso-
ever, to the settlement of which pre-
vious arbitration treaties or agree
ment do not apply in their terms, or
are not applied in fact. shall when
diplomatic methods Of adjustment
have failed be referred for investiga-
ton and report to permanent inter
national commissions; and they agree
not to declare war or begin HOSTILE
ties during such investigation and
before the report is submitted"
The treaties specify that the report
of the commission shall be complet-
ed within one year after it shall de-
clare it's investigation to have begun.
Although all the contracting parties
! reserve the right to act independent
ly after the report of the commission
is submitted, the administration here
believes years time will have the
effect of sober second thought" on
all nations and prevent an outbreak
in the precipitate manner in which
Europe has ju It plunged itself into
war.

PATRIOTIC PEOPLE
READY TO PURCHASE
Loyal SOutherners Urge The Graphic
to Continue Campaign,
PrOffering Their
Aid,

Patriotic Pine Bluffians are ready
to do their full part toward aiding the
South during the crisis precipitated
by the European war and which has
resulted in temporary decentralization
of the cotton market.
The buy a-bale" plan in nowhere
gaining more adherents proportion
ately than in Pine Bluff, and the
movement is gaining momentum
through the South.
Voluntary expressions of al |
through the "buy-a-b bale" plan have
come to The Graphic from numerous
forms and individuals, all urging that
the campaign be vigorously prescott
ed, because. as seems to be the con-
census of opinion, at is the only
plan that will save the country"
Fourteen citizens informed The
Graphic yesterday of their willing
ness to buy one or more bales of COT
ton at 10 cents direct from the farm
ers who must sell and take the cotton
off the market. Each one of these
declared the conviction that in lis
circle of friends there We're many
who would buy at least one bale, and
urged that immediate steps be taken
to systematic the work Of accepting
orders and securing the cotton.
''No time is to be lost" asserted
Mayor Simon Bloom, when he eX-
pressed readiness to buy a bale,
maybe more.
1--WE must get busy and do this
thing now" declared Creed Caldwell.
at is the best plan suggested. Be-
cause theepeople who will be aided by
the 'buy-a-bae' plan are those who
lamont get help otherwise. And by
retiring this cotton we Immediately
fix minimum value for the remain
der of the crop. I'll take five bales"
Jeff Hicks, president of the Arkan-
sas Ice & Coal company. heartily APP
proves the plan. "PH take several
bales, and all the men working with
us will takes at least one bale EACH"
at is an excellent eXpedient to
afford relief, and Pine Bluff must do
her part for the people of jefferson
and Southeast Arkansas. We can
not, of course, take up all the cotton
Of Southeast Arkansas, but we can
take care of large section of the
immediate territory, and our example
will be helpful to other communities"
SO stated Secretary f. B. Bloom of
the Chamber of Commerce, who will
take at least one; bale. Nc. Bloom is
one who believes that the world will

these circumstances. They've got the
money in their jeans or in the bank
They'll pay cash for the cotton and
hold it a year. What's more they'll
help sell cotton in other sections of
the country. All that is required to
get these to buying cotton under the
tee or club to accept the orders; to
buy from the farmers who must sell
and handle other details of the plan.
There isn't a great deal to be done,
and the plan holds out such promises
to Pine Bluff tt at there'll be found
patriots who are willing to discharge
this task; this duty to the city, coun-
ty and country.
The one thing required is ACTION.
Buy now. The investment is gilt
edged. One year hence cotton will be
worth 10 cents, beyond bubble of a
doubt. 1t will probably be worth
more but that's beyond the point.
This is not speculation It's patriot
ism.
Help the country! Help yourself!
Buy bale-or more!

London, Sept. 1n.-The official press
bureau has issued an additional cas-
ualty list of 1874 officers and 3,454 men
of other ranks. This brings the grand
total of casualties during the war to
1929, composed of $50 officers and
1910 men of other rank.
p The admiralty announces that today
and yesterday numerous squadrons
and flotillas of British war vessels
made a complete search of the North
sea and the Heligoland blight. No
German vessel of any kind was seen.
The German fleet made no attempt to
interfere with the British war ships.

There are thousands of small farm
ers in the South who MUST market
their cotton as soon as it is picked
If they are forced to accept or Z
cents, all the remainder of the cotton
will be quoted at about the same fig
ure. This means that Southern pros
perity will go -glimmering, and
with it the ambitions, hopes and jobs
of many individuals.
Excepting the "buy-a bale" move
ment, no plan suggested will meet the
immediate { 2mands Of the situation.
Thousands of the small farmers are
without credit; they cannot borrow.
They must sell and because they must
sell, the price of other cotton will suf-
fer. If the small grower is saved
the country is saved.
Even if every state would agree to
buy and store one-fourth the crop
a contingency unlikely, because con-
situations must be changed-this
would not help; the relief would
come too late.

Paris, Sept 10.-The following Of
ficiaiI communique was issued to-
night:
"On the left wing the British and
French troops have crossed the Marine
near Chateau-Thierry, pursuing the
enemy, who is IN retreat.
During the course Of this adj
vance, the British forces took num-
Der of prisoners and captured many
mitrailleuses.
"In the four days battle the al
lied armies have in that section of
the theatre of operations gained more
than 81 miles.
Between Chateau hierry and Wit
ry-le-Francois the Prussian guard has
been driven back
"The action continues with severity
in the region between Camp de Mailly
and Vitry-le-Francois.
Near Nancy the Germans have
gained slightly along the road to Cha
teau-Salins, while the allies have pro-
crossed into the forest of Champe-
noux.
"Heavy losses have been suffered
health of the allied armies remain
excellent.
"1n the center and the right wing
there is no change in the situation"
Paris, Sept. 10.-An official state
ment from the war office says con-
firmation has been received of the re-
ported fall of Maubeuge.
Paris, Sept. 10.-The Germans have
been driven back 40 miles on the
right, as result of two great battles
fought today, and in the center the
Prussians guard has been routed by
the French and is being chased to
the north of the San Gourda marshes,
where fighting with continuous action
and tremendous violence has been
going on all day.
This was the startling announce
ment that came from the war office
tonight at the end of the fifth day
of the great battle, which is being
waged along the 120-mile front to the
east of Paris.
Two of the furious engagements
fought during the day resulted in the
further crumbling of the German
right and the swarming over the
river Marine of the allied forces which
are now reported to be chasing the
Germans, whose retreat has become
so p. ecipitated that it borders on
rOut.
The first engagement was fought
at orte-Sous-Jouarre, where, after a
sharp attack the Germans were forced
to retreat in the direction of Chateau
Theirry. Here they made second
stand but were again driven back.
The Germans fought with the de-
spair of exhaustion, but they could
not Withstand the onslaught Of the
British and French troops which had
been re-infol led by fresh brigades
withdrawn from the line of defense
of Paris.

Petrograd, Sept. 10--Krakow. the
strongest Austrian post in Galicia
and one which INSTRUCTED the advance
of the huge Russian center army up
on Breslau, its next objective, is re-
ported to have fallen before fierce
attack of Russian cavalry and infant
ry under cover of the destructive fire
of the heavy siege guns.
The forts to the east and north of
the city were shelled necessarily un-
til finally the Austrian guns were ST
fenced and the city was occupied by
the Russian troops.
Krakow is the capital of Austrian
Poland and lies on broad plain on
the left bank of the Vistula. 1t is
only 80 miles from the German Dor
der and between it and Breslau little
fortified resistance is offered.
With the way for the advance to-
ward Breslau practically cleared the

is only 100 miles from Berlin is i'm

The Russians have advanced into
German Poland and Silesia.
The cars forces also have engaged
the Austrian armies of General Won
Auffenberg and Dankl, which have
been strongly reinforced since their
decisive defeat at RawaRuska. This
battle is being fought all along the
line fro ma point to the west of Raw

The fresh troops are bearing the
brunt Of the Russian attack, the
Fourteenth Austrian army corps
which was brought up as a reinforc-
ing column from Alsace, being in the
center of the line where it lost heav-
lily during the days fighting, one
battle standard, 800 prisoners and two
cannon being taken. General Russky
is commanding the Russian attacking
force.
1t rests with these Russian troops
to shatter the remnants of the Aus

How the Austrian ranks have been
depleted is shown by a report from
Vienna in which it is admitted that
the army of Archduke Frederick has
lost 100000 men. one-fourth of it's
entire number. while battling against
the Russians in the Galicia campaign.
The remnants of the Austrian army
are reported to be disheartened and

is in somewhat similar position to a
starving man with pot of gold: He
must exchange his wealth Immediate
ly for something he can use. And if
he cannot exchange it quickly, not
only is he likely 20 starve, but the
goods he needs will remain on the
merchants shelves; tradesmens notes
will remain in banks; accounts will
not be paid; men will be laid off and
there'll be general suffering.
The "buy-a-bale" plan will do this:
1t will take from the grower who
must sell, cotton at 10 cents per
pound; it will Immediately establish
a minimum price for the stipe; it
will keep trade moving and put into
circulation money now being hoard
ed.
But the main thing is to act i'm
mediately. If the farmers ever start
selling at cents, thousands of us
may as Well begin hunting jobs-and
jobs will be mighty scarce.
There are hundreds of people in
Pine Bluff who will buy cotton under
