FEDERAL RESERVE
 BOARD OPTIMISTIC
w. p. G. HARDING SAYS PLACING COTTON ON coNTRABAND LIST
 NOT DESPERATE SITUATION.

Birmingham.-W. P. G. Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, told the Alabama Merchants As soeiation here that the plae- ing of cotton on the contraband list by the allies did not create desperate situation, but rather one calling for in telligent leadership. He urged South ern bankers to make concessions to finance the crop, and predicted there would be international competition for the American crop despite the fact that It was eontraband. MT Harding handled, for the resere board, the ar. engagements for the $100,000, GOO cot. ton loan fund. He explained to the Alabama merchants. however, that he was not speaking for the federal board, but was giving his personal views
 Germany" said MT Harding, ''is as anxious to have cotton as the al lies are to prevent her. It is not in- conceivable that there may be evi- dences before very long of internation- al competition for possession of the South's great staple It is at least a possibility that cotton will be pur- chased in large quantities for foreign account and stored in Southern ware houses, to be shipped out as needed and as opportunities for shipment arise.
 No one has ever accused the Ger mans of lacking in far sightedness. They are already looking forward to what will happen when peace is re- stored, and that they will make a su- preme effort to recover their lost trade with other nations can not be doubted. It is reasonable to believe that they would look with compla- cency upon the absolute control of the cotton market by the mills of Eng land and America permitting them to secure their supplies of cotton at very low prices and defer their own purchases until after peace is made and take the chances of securing then their own stocks at much higher prices? It is not reasonable to believe that they will arrange to buy cotton as the spinners of other nations buy it, and can they not easily arrange to have their cotton purchases stored in this country for their account until they can transport it to their own shores?"

Francis J. Kiefer. supervisor of the Ozark national forest at Harrison, has just been authorized by the district forester al Washington to start imme- diate construction of nine miles of road in that portion Of the Ozark for est lying in Pope County The road to be improved is to be joined through Dover to the 26-mile macadam high way from Russelville through Dover. Scottsville and Hector. to be built by an improvement district for which a S100,0o0 contract has already been let.
 The nine-mile stretch which the forest service is now to build Is a link in the highway planned from Rus sellville to Harrison and will extend from near Owen Ford en Big Piney creek to the I NJ. Newton place on the head of Moeeasin creek From there. as funds become available from year to year. the road will be extend ed to the crest of Freeman mountain. upon which road now extends north ward into Newton county, leading to Jasper. the county seat.
 The work of the forest service will be to reduce the grade of the present road from Is per cent and 20 per cent to an average of ' per cent, provide ditches and eulverts. and make a smooth firm earth surface. The work will be an example in the proper con struction of good earth road.
 The funds with which the eonstruc- tion will be accompanied are derived from national forest revenues. coming mainly from the sale Of mature tim Der that is removed to improve the stand by making room for the younger trees in which 10 develop.
 The settlers are leading staunch support to the work of the forest serv- ice and will donate services literally in the construction and lend every possible aid in the good road move ment

FULL PREPARATION
 FOR ARABIC'S LOSS
GERMANY'S INTENTION IS COM MUNICATED FORMALLY TO
 STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington.-Th United States re- ceived further assurances from Ger many of it's determination to yield to the demands of the government re- garding the protection O. American lives at sea
 Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, having received lengthy instructions from Berlin, telephoned the State Department and asked for an appointment with Secretary Lans- ing. Promptly at the hour set he ap- peared at the department.
 The ambassador informed the secre- tary of state that Germany would give full satisfaction" to the Urited States for the loss of American lives on the White Star liner Arabic. The Ger man government, he said, would go further than a mere disayowel as soon as it is definitely established that the vessel was sunk without warning. Sec retary Lansing informed the ambassa- dor that the United States considered it had conclusive proof that no warn ing was given, and the ambassador in dicated in return that the German gov ernment desired only to receive re- port of the incident from it's own sources.
 The question of the disavowal of the sinking of the Lusitania and an offer of reparation for the loss of American lives was not taken up, for
 
 the reason that the United States has informed Germany it desires the is sues in the two cases to be consid- cred separately.
 The two governments, therefore, have come to an understanding on that point. This government inform ed Germany it would insist on dealing with the Arabic first, Germany, there fore, will withhold it's final reply on the LuIsitania case, which will close the controversy until after the Arabic case has been settled.
 After the conference the ambassa- dor indicated his belief that the nego- tiations in the Arabic case would be followed by negotiations over the Lu- sitania. In support of this statement he cited the recent declaration in Der lin that a submarine policy satisfac- tory to the United States shortly would be made

WINTER MAY LIMIT
 TEUTONS' ADVANCE
WITH OPENING OF AUTUMN AT TENTIoN IS DIRECTED TO
 EQulNoxlAL STORMS.
PRESS ON TOWARD GR0DN0
To the East of Prussian Frontier Der in Reports an Advance of Teutons and the Capture
 Of Lipsk.

London.-While reports from the Eastern war theater embracing the region from Courland to southeastern Galieia indicate that the Germans and Austrians are still pressing the Rus sians hard or tenaeiously following them in retreat, military observers here hope that the approaching fall will limit the Teuton's advance.
 Both Berlin and Vienna emphasize tie statement that Field Marshal von Hindenburgs forces along the Dvina river in Courlaud have renewed their activities which were brought to sudden halt recently with the success of the Russians in holding Riga as a menace to von Hindenburg' rear. In southwestern Russia in the Brest-Lit- ovsk region, the Austrians and Ger mans are chiefly concerned in driving Grand Duke Nicholas armies further into the Pripet marshes evidently with the purpose of repeating the Mazurian lake region of East Prussia
 To the northwest in the sector lying only a short distance to the east of the East Prussian frontier, Berlin reports an advance of Teutons and the cap. ture of the town of Lipsk, lying just to the west of the fortress of Grodno, upon which the aims of the Germans now are evidently eentered.
 With the opening of the autumn months military observers are direct ing attention to the fact that the Rus. sian equinoxial storms are due to be. gin about September 21. They assert that they are the danger limit to mili tary operations in the Eastern fields It is recalled by some of these ob- servers that the autumnal equinox marked the turning point in the Ma poleonic campaign. The first warning was a light snowfall, preceding the equinox, but soon afterward heavy SHOWS fell and with them came disas ter to Napoleon.

WATER BUSHES INTO

BREAK IN LEVEE NEAR DIES ARC HAS SHIFTED SCENE OF
 FLOOD DISTRESS.
ASSISTANCE IS NOW NEEDED
Cotton Plant Has Cared For All Who Have Come, But If Conditions Do Not improve, Help Will
 Be Required.
Cot ton Plant

1btedH I itHt.
 With Cache River still rising and the crest of the flood estimated to be two days distant, Cotton Plant Is pro pairing to issue call for assistance if conditions continue to become worse.
 Between 200 and 300 persons are marooned on Surrounded Hill. an ele- yated tract two or three miles square, but farmers who live thereon have ample supplies and are in no danger
 Small towns near Cotton Plant are taking care of refugees from. the low. lands. but the task of feeding and car ing for the flood sufferers is becoming more of a problem daily
 It is estimated that Cache River will rise at least two or three feet be- fore the crest is reached. If the ex- pected rise develops thousands of acres of land now untouched will be flooded.
 The crest of the flood has reached Georgetown. 15 miles west Of Cotton Plant and water in the bottoms ad- jacent to White River is at stand still
 Gum Flat, which has not been under water for more than 12 years, is now covered to such an extent that travel is almost impossible. The water has risen foot in the last 24 hours. Be ginning at point about half mile west of Cotton Plant, there is solid sheet of water extending to Cache River
 Reports from Georgetown and Cow Mound indicate there Is need of sup plies in those two places. and it k probable that in one or two days Cot ton Plant will need money for the refugees who are at this place. Most of those affected by the flood were small farmers and timber workers who were absolutely without money. AS 1t appears at present mat several weeks must elapse before they can re. turn to work, and as the farmers were totally ruined as far as this years crop is concerned. money will be needed to provide for them until ar engagements can be made to give them employment.
