England is about to declare cotton
a contraband of war. The wonder is
that she did not take that attitude be-
fore. If cotton is used in great ouan.
Iities in the manufacture of war ex-
ploSlveS, it would be as naturally
placed upon the contraband list as
copper steel, or even rifles. For Eng
iand to seize cotton shipped to he;'
enemy does not mean that she will
conhScate the cotton; she will have
70 pay for it. True we NAV not get
as much as Germany would pay. But
were Germany the one Selling CO.
ton, not England, we would fare no
letter. And Germany's attitude is
one that would indicate little, if any
consideration. We are willing that
England should place cotton on the
contraband list. That Will, we firm
~ believe, hasten the end of the war.
We may just as well get ready to
nod the bulk of the incoming crop
IN this country for some months. IF
that can be done, cotton Will bring
4 good price.

Jonesvllle citizens are a bit so,
over the fact that the highway which
we hope to have come to Union will
pass through Union to Glenn Springs,
thus leaving Jonesville out. In ius-
tice to Union it must be said that
the pull for this road this time came
from Glenn Springs-Union merely
fell In line, as we understand it. Bu.
then. the matter may be remedied
If Jonesv!lle will raise five hundred
dollars, Supervisor Jeter says he will
use all diligence to do as much for
the Jonesville road as for the road to
Glenn Springs. And that will be get
ting two roads instead of one. 1t is
safe to say that ten times as much
traffic goes over the .JonesviIle road
to one over the Glenn Springs road.
We sincerely hope both roads may be
improved. Personally we use the
JonesviIle road perhaps fifty times to
where we use the Glenn Springs road
one time.

PUBLIC UTILITY COM
 MITEE TO INSPECT LINE

Little Rock, Sept. 8.-The Public Utilities committee of the City Coun- cil will make a trip of inspection the latter part of this week, to the Red River crossing of the mains supply ing Little Rock and intermediate points with natural gas from the Cad do fields. The committee will be ac- companied by an engineer. Gas is now being supplied through tempo rary mains, and the question now confronting the city is whether there is chance of a recurrence of the trouble next winter, when great dis comfort and inconvenience would be caused by a break in the mains. There are thousands of homes in Lit tie Rock that are dependent upon nat ural gas for domestic use. Supt. H. L. Snyder, of the gas company, who has been on the scene since the break occurred, still has a force of about 200 men at work strengthening the lines.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
 IN JUDICIAL TANGLE

Little Rock, Sept. 8.-There have been no developments in the judi cial tangle discovered a few weeks ago, when it was announced that all the circuit judges would have to run for reelection at the next primaries, in March, three years in advance of the general election. If this should be held to be the proper construction of the Consolidated election law, it will also apply to one member of the Su- preme Court, Associate Justice w. F. Kirby. Judge Kirby has not yet an- nounced what view he takes of the law, and it is probable that a great many will depend upon his decision. Should he decide that it is necessary for him to enter the race at this time, that would be taken as an indication of the probable view that would be en- ertained by the Supreme Court should the question reach that tribunal; and should he decide that it is not neces- sary to make the race, that will also be considered equally decisive, and ohers would probably follow his lead.

tant towns and railroad bridges were under strong guard of United States troops. It was reported to the Amer ican authorities that two of the known bandit leaders-Anicito Pizano and Luis de la Rosa-have been seen in the market place at Matamoras this week and probably still are in that city.
 General Nafarrate was asked through the Mexican consuls here to arrest these two and turn them over to the Texas officers. Americans arriving in Matamoras today by au- tomobile from Victoria, about 200 miles, south of Matamoras, reported no signs of trouble or unrest in the territory they passed through.

CONFERENCE ON
 PEACE WILL MEET
So Far Carranza Has Ignored United States. Issues Denial of His Troops Mixed in Bor- der Raids along Boundary.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Secretary Lansing and the Latin-American dip lomats will meet next week to con- sider replies to their appeal to the Mexican factions for peace confer ence and to formulate the next step in their plan. MT. Lansing said today the meeting had not been definitely arranged but that it would be held before September II because the Ar genuine ambassador leaves on that date for his home.
 AS to what the next move is to be nothing has been disclosed. General Carranza has not replied to the ap- peal, although he has indicated that he will decline the offer of assistance made by the Pan-American conferees. Generals Villa and Zapata have agreed to the proposed peace conference.
 Gneral Carranza may reply before the conference meets again and there are some officials who believe that he Will dl lIdSl lCetNt Illt way OpOli lOi further negotiations. Officials are convinced, however, that Carranza will make tremendous effort within the next few weeks to drive Villa from his strongholds at Torreon and Chi huahua and thus establish complete supremacy of his government. Gen eral Obregon and other commanders have been unusually active within the last ten days
 A statement of military operations issued tonight describes the capture of Icamole and other cities from the Villa forces. Again today Carranza issued statements disclaiming any participation by his forces in border raids and asserting that orders have been given for cooperation with the United States forces to avoid hostili- ties.

Concerning possible danger from the wide extent of the plot an officer said today that while the organizers of the uprising seem to have evolved a plan worthy of Von Moltke, they lack intelligence and are unable to exc cute it.
 He pointed to the attempts to cut wires saying that although he ban dits repeatedly tried to cut wires at a point where all the lines running out of the valley were within reach Of one man, they seldom have severed them all, apparently through technical ignorance. He said that they had shown inability even to burn railroad bridges, Their attempts usually dam aged only a small part of the trestles.

GEAR NOW LEADS
 HIS OWN ARMY
From All Reports the Russians Are Holding Their Own and are Strengthening New Posi- tiOns.-Interest in Riga.

London, Sept. 7-The news that Emperor Nicholas has placed himself at the head of his army which he an- nounced in a telegram to Raymond Poincare, president of France, and the visit paid by the French commander in chief, General Joffre, to the Italian army, foreshadows, it is believed in military circles here, stirring events on both the eastern and western fronts in which the armies of all the allies will cooperate.
 It is declared the Russians are all ready nearly, if not quite, holding their own against the Austrians and Germans, whose advance has been stopped at most places.
 Riga remains the danger point, but the Russians continue to occupy the town after the Germans have advanc- ed to the Dvina, southeast of Riga, leads military writers to the conclu- sion that the Russians feel reason ably sure of their ability to defend the river and in time to push suffi- ciently far westward to relieve the pressure on their forces on the shores of the Gulf of Riga.
 Westward of Dvinsk and Wilma the Russian offensive has now held the Germans for more than a week, and to the military observers those two towns seem fairly safe, unless the invaders bring up endorsements. Russians have taken up new positions across the river Stchara and it's num- erous tributaries, and are protecting the net work of railways which run eastward and northward to the inter for of the country.
 To the southeast of the Pripet marshes a great battle is in pro- gress, the army of Prince Leopold of Bavaria and the troops of the Russian center being engaged. Amid the Pripet marshes the German Field Marshal Mackensen is working hard for decisive result. He reports that he has taken two Russian posi- tions.
 Still another battle is being fought for the triangle of Notifications fur ther south, of which Rovno and Dub no remain in the hands of the Rus sians. The Austrians and Russians are facing each other across the Se- reth river in Galacia, where the fight ing is continuous. The stands of the Russians suggests the supply of Rus sian ammunition is ample.
 For the thirteenth successive day the allies have bombarded German po- activity by air raids, sapping and mining operations and bomb throw ng. In this fighting the Germans are also taking part, and success rests first with one side and then with the
