CRACOW ABANDONED
TO THE RUSSIAN ARMY

LONDON, Sept. 22.-(Special) THE
correspondent of the Post at Petro-
grad sends the following version of the
military situation at Cracow:
The populace is already fleeing from
Cracow from which place a part of
the unique university library has also
been removed for safety.
THE Polish voluntary bands,
which have been enrolled for the de-
fense of Cracow, have declined u
oppose the Russians on the grounds
that they prefer that the tide of war
should break upon some other part
of Austria, rather than around Cra-
COW. This seems to show that Cra-
COW may be delivered up to the Rus
sians."

VILLA STARTING
A rough HOUSE
down IN MEXICO
MORE TROUBLE is FEARED
Bandit Chief Would Ignore
CaFraDza

WASHINGTON, Sept %. - Al
though yesterdays official reports in
dicated that the friction between Gen
erals Obregon and Villa was of an in
significant character, there was a pes
simistic one in the advices FROM Mex
leo which reached here today.
The local troubles in Sonora have
given rise to the fear among some
observers that Villa may attempt to
quell the disturbances there indepen-
dent of Carranza's orders. As yet,
however, nothing of a definite ma
ture has reached officials on which 4
judgment of the trend of future
events can be based. Everything de-
pends, they believe on the outcome of
the national convention on October l.
1t already is realized both here and n
Mexico that the Carranza and Villa
factions will contest for political COZ
troll of the assembly.
1t is doubtful whether the admin
istration question which must be al
justed at Vera Cruz before the Amer
lean troops can withdraw will be set
tied until early in October, by which
time it is believed Carranza will ha e
temporarily retired at first chief in
favor of Fernando Iglesias Calderou,
who would he designated provisional
president.
The state department today asked
the Carranza government to guaraa-
tee the safety of the priests and nuns
gathered at Vera Cruz seeking
means to leave the country. Consul
Canada reported that about 200 are
destitute.

TWO HUNDRED WARsHIPS
OF BRITAIN IN LINE

NEW YORK, Sept. 22-Two hundred
British warships lie in battle line OFF
the German naval base of Heligoland,
so close together that at times they
appear to touch each other, accord
ing to Captain Skelly, of the British
oil tank steamer San Lorenzo, which
reached New York today from Lon
don. For six weeks the San Lorenzo
was with the British feet, her OF
ficers said, as a supply ship. She
took them $4,000 tons of fuel oil.
From a distance she saw the engage
ment with the German cruisers be-
hind Heligoland.
Captain Shelley said a story was
current among the British sailors
that the British admiral, Sir John r.
Jellicoe, was aboard the submarine
which sank the German cruiser Hela
recently.
Outside the Ambrose channel
lightship at the entrance to New
York harbor, Captain Skelley said
there are two British cruisers and a
Cunard line steamer, converted into
an auxiliary cruiser.

SECRETARY MADOO WILL PROTECT

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Gov-

Carolina today discussed cotton con-
ditions in that state with Secretary
McAdoo. 1t was understood they com
planned of inability to get money
from banks, despite the deposit ol
federal funds, and the issuance Of
emergency currency.
Secretary McAdoo reiterated his in
tention to inquire into the interest
rates charged and credits extended by
banks, with view to remedying any
evils discovered.
A warning to national banks which
have received government funds t.
aid crop moving or which have re-
ceived emergency currency, not 10
charge excessive interest rates or to
refuse legitimate credits, was given
by Secretary McAdoo in a formal
statement dealing with the present
situation in the cotton growing states.

STAPLE
Still BRINGING
TOPMOST PRICES

Cotton would bring nine cents in
Americus very readily if farmers here
were disposed to sell at that figure, bur
they have agreed to hold for ten cents
and are adhering to that agreement.
Hundreds of bales piled up at their
homes, to say nothing of the 10000
bales stored in Americas warehouses,
bear abundant testimony to the fact
that there will be nothing doing until
the price advances to ten cents, and
many will not sell at that price.
In the local market some sales are
being made every day at prices near
the nine cents notch, but sales are
few and far between. There is
greater demand here for fine cotton
than can be supplied, the cotton men
say.
Americus merchants characteristic
enterprise and liberality, are paying
ten cents for cotton in trade, or in the
settlement of accounts. Nothing could
be fairer than this proposition, and
every farmer taking advantage of this
ten cents offer of Americus merchants
is getting So to $3.50 more for his cot
ton than he would otherwise. II he
owes a store account, his warehouse
receipt is as good as a $50 gold certi~
fcate at the store.
The fields here are still white with
cotton and pickers are in demand, as
farmers are anxious to gather the crop
before it is further damaged by wind
and rain.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-(Special. pa
ris says the allies are making progress
between Rheims and the Argonne. Ber-
lin, on the other hand, declares the
German counter attacks about Rheims
have resulted in their capture of the
strong hill positions at Craonne, IS
miles northwest of Rheims and the
occupation of the village of Betheny,
three miles north of the French city.
Berlin claims also a successful at
tack on the line of forts south of Ver-
dun defended by eight French army
corps, as a result of which German
troops have crossed the border in the
direction of Lorraine.
Engendered, perhaps, by the dearrh
of official news, many rumors are cur
rent in London These attract inter-
est and in the minds OF some people
are important from the fact that orig
mating simultaneously at widely dis
tant points, they seem more or less t
confirm each other. The unsubstaI-
tiated report rom Antwerp that Gen.
Won Kluck, the commander of thc
German right wing, has removed his
headquarters back to Mons is the lac-
est of these rumors.
One thing seems certain, the long
drawn out conflict is wearing down tho
impetuous aggression that hitherto has
characterized the fighting, and except
about Rheims no great effort is being
made to carry frontal attack. Ul-
less one side of the other executes ar

Grand Hike of Austrians.

PARIS, Sept. 22.-CSpecial.) From
Petrograd come stories of the contin-
ued fight of the broken Austrian ar
mics in Galicia, while at the same
time Vienna declares that these armies
are re-organiing for offensive action.
1t would seem clear, however, that on
ly Przemysl is today standing out
against the total occupation of Galicla
by Russia.
Petrograd reports further that the
populace already is fleeing from Cra-
COW, from which city portion of tn =
unique library already has been r.
moved for safety. Reports received
in the Russian capital are to the eff
feet that Austrian Polish volunteers
are declining to serve against the Rus
SLAMS. These give the Russians hope
that Cracow may be delivered to them
without a struggle. The Russians
claim further victories against the
Austrian forces attempting to reach
Cracow, and they predict that there is
no chance of the Austrians resuming
the offensive before next spring.
That the Austrian army was not Sc
badly demoralized and disorganized
as at first reported is indicated by
the admission from Petrograd of the
determined nature of the four days
assault which preceded the re-capture
of Lemberg.

Complaints have been made to

that some of the national banks
which are the benefciaries of gov
ernment deposits, and which are
charging excessive rates of interest

vestigation be made Immediately.
"If I discover depositary banks are
refusing to extend legitimate credits,
or charging excessive rates OF inter-

currency issued to them, 1 shall not
hesitate to withdraw government
funds from such banks and to refuse

munity." T2 5u
This applies not only to national
banks in the cotton states, but in all
sections of the country. 1t must be
remembered that the issuance of this
so-called emergency currency rests
by law solely within the discretion Of
