Washington, Sept. 1I.-Information received from Vera Cruz that if the army is withdrawn d reign of terror might develop which would effect certainly the enemies of CarranZa and the citizens there who were con- sidered as too close to American regime. was given much Crrdence by officials here today. There is a growing opinion in Washington that the withdrawal of the troops on such short notice will be an ill advised act.
 It is thought now that there will soldiers and armies away from Vera Cruz While the president las set no date on which the movement will be begun from Vera Cruz, it leaked out today that it nas been determined to withdraw the armies, who occupy the advance posts On the 2Gth of this month. There is now talk of delay until October 10 CT b. Such delay obviously will give an opportunity for the evacuation of Vera Cruz by i'm portant members of Huerta's regime.

Disaster to Baltic Fleet Now Said to Be Due to Awful
 Mistake.
SEVERAL SHIPS SUNK
Russians Report That Battle in Baltic Reported September 1 Was Be. tween Ships of German
 FIOtiIla.

Petrograd Sept. 17.-News of the disaster to the German fleet in the Baltic, already reported abroad. is confirmed by information received here. There appears to be no doubt whatever that the German war ships fired on each other. All rumors of an engagement with the Russian fleet in the Baltic are untrue.
 It is learned from trustworthy sources that fairly numerous flo tilla attended by cruisers while en- gagged in hunting down passenger steamers, mistook their own for the enemy's ships ana engaged in a live ly battle. The number of ships crip- pied is unknown but it is ascertain ed that several cruisers and destroy CTS have entered Kiel badly mauled and riddled by shot and sheel, and that many wounded have been con veyed ashore.

JO Nich0l, Treasurer.

Taking up the details of the organ ization, Jo Nichol. cashier of the Sim mons National bank. was selected treasurer of the "Buy-a-Bale" clul and D. l.. Franklin, w. E. Collier, J. B. Talbot, J. H. Hudson, Harold Bulthenthal, S. Y. T. Knox and B. B. Well named as committee on classi- fication to insure that purchasers o cotton through the club will obtain middling upland, the basis on which the price was fixed.
 It may be pertinent to state right here that cotton men consider this grade worth all of 10 cents, and hold the view generally that it will only be short time before the market price will advance beyond this.
 All orders for cotton should be sent to E. B. Bloom, secretary, Chamber of Commerce, giving instructions for the disposition of the cotton. Mir. Bloom. with the assistance of the classifying committee, will do the rest.
 A simple thing. No trouble, No risk. Never did patriotism hold out more alluring promises.
 Orders for cotton continue to come in, Secretary Bloom being authorized yesterday to buy twenty bales for Mrs Thomas Collier at 10 cents a pound. Henry Roberts will take two bales There are others, and their names will appear in the regular roll of honor. Cotton will soon take the place of ferns of Pine Bluff porches and of stoves and other household goods in barns and outhouses. Do your part Buy a bale.

 The mlltary experts for Le Matir today described the German position north of the Aisne as good. both tech nically and geographically. It is based upon a junction of railways which would permit of evacuating ant If necessary escape.
 On tIe other hand, General Joffre's center is in concentrated forced neal Soissons with fresh troops and rein forcements, which will be valuable 1T the attack on the German right.
 Military critics here judge that the fighting taking place north of the Aisne is to cover the retreat of the Grown prince in his withdrawal from the Argonne-Meuse region toward the eastern theatre of war to meet the Russians.

The committee also adopted reso- lution declaring it to be the sense of the committee that everybody in the county should cooperate in the movement, each bearing his share of the burden. The tenants should be willing to hold their cotton as long as they possibly can; that land-own- CTS refrain from forcing their tenants to sell, and that merchants carry ac- counts of customers who have only a few bales of cotton and no money: the banks to do their part by extending as liberal line of credit as practicable to merchants and cotton-planting pat rons."
 That purchasers of cotton under the buy abale" plan should store their cotton at home was also urged by the committee.

WOMEN OF PINE BLUFF CALLED
 ID S0UTH'S AID
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

CONTINUED FROM PAGE OND ever is offered. The result: damage to the market.
 Seven farmers wno had read of the local buy bale movement brought in cotton yesterday. Secretary Bloom of the Pine Bluff club was enabled to place all this cotton, but arrange ments must be made at once to care for other distress cotton.
 Consequently, the Pine Bluff com mittea adapted two ideas and origi- ma ed the one: "Buy-a-Bale" Day.
 That it will succeed is assured. Glance al the names Of the ladies heading the WOmen's auxiliary, recall the general staff of the club and you'll entertain not for 2 moment the slightest doubt that Pine Bluff will arrange to take off the market distress cotton of farmers in this ter rit ory
 The members of the ladies' auxili- ary and Of the executive committee of the club are to meet at the Cham Der Of Commerce room this morning at $50 o'clock to make complete plans for the "Buy-a Bale" Day cam palgn, which is expected to result in the placing Of thousands of bales of cotton where they will not affect the markt for some mcnths to come
 Judge C. M Philpot, chairman: E. $. Bloom secretary, and A. D. Foster, Jo Niohol, J. ,F' Boyce and N. F Blcom, members of the executive committee, spent an nour discussing the details of the proposition yes terday morning. Dave Franklin help ed with suggestions, and the commit tee decide dthat:
 Tt shall be the policy of the club to buy cotton only from people who absolutely must have relief at once, and that only such part Of a mans crop as is necessary to relieve his distress shall be purchased"
 This action was taken to protect the farmers, the purpose being to aid all who are in nee:s of assistance and let the burden be shared equal ly. Many farmers can sell One or two bales at 10 cents per pound and hold the remainder This he is ad- vised to do. He will benefit. If the committee bought three and four bales from one, others might not benefit from the plan.
