INSIST COTTON
 NOT C0NIRABAND

Washington, July 21.- Should Great Britain notify the United States formally that she will hold cotton to be absolute contraband of war. a new and grave commercial issue Will be created.
 The United States will reply that shipments of cotton cargoes to neu- tral ports are to be regarded as in tended for those ports. and it can- not be assumed that they are intend ed for Germany.
 The United States does not con- slider cotton contraband of war. Last fall the United states was informed that Great Britain did not intend to place cotton on the absolute contra band list, and officials, therefore have become deeply interested in the recent statement in England by Lord Crew that it might become necessary to place cotton on that list.

 iD New Jersey Town.

Bayonne, N. J., July 21.--Arson, murder and rioting in the oil district today completely stopped the opera tion of the Constable Hook plant and the Tidewater Oil company, sub sidiaries of the Sta3sard oil company and threatened the valuable proper ties with toial destruction.
 A 19-year-old boy was shot through the head and instantly killed by q policeman, when an effort was made to drive the unfuriated men of the Constable Hook plant away from the gatss of the Tidewater company.
 Before then two-score other per- sons received wounds from bullets and bricks during the rioting, which continued throughout the day
 Just b. fore midnight, an attack was made upon pumping station. One of the main feed pipes, through which crude oil is pumped to tho several plants in the vicinity, was severed and the oil ignited. The con- Migration was declared to be peril ously near number of naptha tanks.
 A horse ridden by Police Inspector Caddis was shot from under him and the officer was so painfully wounded as to nece ssitate his removal to hospital.
 Mayor Garvin of Bayonne sent a telegraphic request to Governor Fiel- der, urging that a regiment of na- tional guards be sent to the scene. The request was temporarily rerused, because Sheriff Eugene Kinkhead ad- vised delay.
 The strikers are in complete con- trol of a district of several miles. When Mayor Garvin visited the dis trict on an inspection tour today. several bullets penetrated the hood of his automobile.
 Shortly after nightfall, fires were started under number of tank cars along the railroad tracks which separate the two plants. It Is con- sidered certain the men will attempt to explode the great oil reservoir if the leaders give the word.
 During the day the office of the Tidewaer plant was destroyed by fire.

Outer Notifications Already Being Bon4barded by
 Heavy Guns.
MORALE OF RUSSIANS
 IS REPORTED BROKEN
Enormous Numbers of Prisoners and Vast Quantities of War Munitions Are Being Taken by Avalanche of
 Germans and AuStrianS.

London, July 21.-Germanys heavy guns are bombarding the outer forti- fications of Warsaw
 Every man in Lublin is following on the heels of the retreating Russian army.
 The railway to Scholm is being de- stroyed by shells, while German in- fantr, is within eight miles of the track.
 Great stores of war material which the Russians were trying to save, is Warsaw, and their removal is held up by the bombardment of that part of the still-remair1ing lines of the railroads from the Polish capital.
 The number of prisoners taken by the Germanic allies has increased to more than SO,0CO, in the last three days. >
 Huge stores of war material and large numbers of guns have been added to the booty.
 The morale of the Russian army is broken, Berlin reports.
 Further successes at every point are recorded by the German troops. In the very shadow of their fortresses at Ivangorod and Novo Keorkiazsk the Russian front has been broken and the Russian defenses are being battered by German artillery. Little is being heard from Petro- grad. Already some reports cirs',lat- ed there with the inspiration of the general staff, admit that the situation so far as Warsaw is concerned, is hopeless.
 While still retreating in Poland and Kovono districts, the Russians further south have come to their last stand at the Ziskola. Forces are be- ing concentrated in the vicinity o1 Lublin and the important railroad line which is already under fire.

ARKANSAS BANKS TOTAL RESERVES
 ABOVE NEED Nearly 400 Institutions Make Reports of Fine
 Condition.
COMMISSIONER SAYS
 POLICY SUCCESSFUL
Immense Reduction in Overdrafts Cause of Satisfaction Among Off. cials and Bankers Generally-NpW
 Bank Is Chartered,

Little Rock, July 21.-The 397 banks reporting to the state bank commissioner are carrying $5,2o6,9O2 more reserve than is required by law The total reserve is 28.3 per cent, whereas only 15 per cent is required.
 Another interesting item in the report for June B is tn grat rduc- tion in overdrafts, which amount to only $107, 7,392.67, compared with $140,- 79S at the last report, and $2,159,62S on the first report March 1, 1914
 The aggregate capital stock of the 397 banks is $13,741 ,S92.50, and the aggregate resources are $62, ,463.F. Deposits amount to $39,357 .3S9.2O.
 "The immense reduction of over drafts is encouraging" said John M. Davis, state bank commissioner, to- day. "lt has been the policy of this department to urge the elimination of the overdraft, the presence of which in any banking institution can be con sidered anything but an asset. The reduction of overdrafts since iuaug- uration of the plans of the depart ment has ben steady. Between May 1 and June B there was a reduction of $33,4O5, bringing the total reduc- tion since the departments first call on April 4, 1914, to $2,052, ,235." '.
 Aggregate resources of banks and trust companies of the state operat- ing under the departments supervi- sion aggregated $62,625, ,463.47 on June 23, according to the compiled state ments taken from the reports of the 397 institutions doing business.
 Another phase of the condition of Arkansas banks is shown in the amount of reserve money being car ried. The law specifics that state banks shall carry a reserve amount of cash amounting to '15 per cent of their aggregate deposits. The state ments submitted in answer to the last call of the state bank department shows the average reserve carried by Arkans IS banks to be 28.3 per cent of their aggregate deposits, or $5,- 286,9O2 in excess of the amount re- quired by law.
 The Bank of Mountain View was chartered with capital stock of $20,- 900. the officers being H. s. Mabay president, J. w. Webb vice president, w. H. Miller secretary, G. D. Lan- caster cashier.
