PREPAREDNESS" N
 ACCEPTED AS MOTTO
,,;utant General England Dr. Au, ;Srs All Company Command srs Designate Recruiting Off, cor for Organizations.

rttle Rock. March 24.-Warfare is
 :. holieved to be imminent, but pre- ". sodress is the accepted motto of the Military through all branches of the service.
 This is even extending to the Ar t.nsas National Guard, as an order has just been issued by Adjutant- General Lloyd England, that all com- o.rv commanders immediately desig- note recruiting officer for their res naetive organization, in order that all units be recruited up to their maxi mum strength, with the least possible delay"
 rt is also directed that Recruiting officers will accept no one unless they are of the prescribed standard physi- ,aIy and mentally, of good moral character. a citizen of the United States, or who have declared their in- tention to do so, and who can read and write the English language"
 The authorized strength of the Guard is 65 men to the company, mak- ing the total strength of the two regi- ments a little more than 1900 men and officers. But several companies are considerably short, and it is the desire to recruit these to the full strength, of 65 each. The war strength is 150 each.
 Gen. England also issued an order as follows: Tn order that there may be an available list of officers of the National Guard of this state who de- sire to take a course in aviation, and who upon completion thereof desire to join the proposed Aviation Section of the National Guard of this state, the Adjutant General requests that applications for this course be sub mitted to this office with the least de- lay practicable"

WILL HOLD CONFER-
 ENCE LABOR LEADERS
Consider Stricter Enforcement Labor Laws - Tendency Among Merchants to Obey Law-lntended for Benefit.

Little Rock, March 24.-State La Dor Commissioner Clary announces tbat he will hold a conference with leaders of labor and industry and others interested, early in April. to consider a stricter enforcement of the labor laws. He says that the ten dency among the merchants is to obey the law, which is intended, not for any class, but for mutual benefit He has received the following letter from a Hot Springs merchant, show ing the attitude of the trade towards the law, and has given him the per mission requested, as a matter of jus tice:
 "Is it permissible for a saleslady to work more than nine hours day under the following conditions? She is in charge of our millinery depart ment and receives a straight salary, and works now nine hours per day, same as all the other salesladies. But in addition we give her part of the charge which is made on a trimmed hat, she doing the trimming during the nine hours. The few weeks pre- ceding Easter constitute as much of an emergency as ripe fruit does to a canning industry. If we have the hats trimmed right now we make the sale and the young lady participates in the profit on each hat sold. So to restrict her hours lessens her income. She is anxious to put in more time, but I have been afraid to allow it, as want to comply strictly with the law, even though it should work a hardship on the very ones it was de- signed to protect-the working girl"
 MT. Clary has written that under the circumstances it will be no viola ton of the law to do the work desig mated

An editorial in the April Woman's Home Companion reminds us of the real reason why France got out of Mexico after the Civil War--a reason that has considerable significance to- day:
 When the Civil War was over we found France in possession of Mex ico," We read. Our Government inti- mated to the French Government that its presence there was undesirable, and the French withdrew. Why? Be cause the righteousness of our protest made Napoleon ashamed of himself? Not at all. It was because at that moment we had a million trained men ready to fight, We did not have to fight. That victory was won without the firing of single gun or the loss of a single drop of biood-because we were prepared for victory"

COTTON MARKET ON
 THE DECLINE AGAIN
Reports of Rain and Mexican Trouble Hurt Prices on Wall Street Yesterday-ClOse Was 6-11 Off.

New York, March 23.-Reports of rains in the Southwest and unsettled condition in Mexico caused scattering liquidation in the cotton here today. After selling at 12.03c early, July con tracts rallied to l2.10c and broke to 11.9Sc in the late trading and closed at l2.O2c, with the general list closing steady at a net loss of 6 to II points.
 The market opened barely steady, at decline of 5 to 10 points. Prices eased off another point or two on some positions right after the call, but offerings were checked somewhat by the steadiness of the near months. Offerings seemed to increase on ral- lies of 5 or 6 points from the lowest, however, and the market became more unsettled during the afternoon, with May contracts selling off to 1l.S6c, October to I2.09c and December to l2.24c. or about 10 to 15 points under last nights closing figures. There were rallies of or points in the late trading on covering.
 The talk around the ring suggested that rather a less optimistic view of immediate peace prospects might have contributed somewhat to the selling movements and reports with refer ence to the situation in Mexico also tended to unsettle sentiment. In a general way, however, traders were inclined to ascribe the greater part of the selling to liquidation of recent purchases made on the peace rumors and Southwestern drouth complaints.
 Cotton closed steady.

The preliminary estimates OF the
United States Geological Survey and
the Bureau OF the Mint for 1915 indi-
cate an output of 67,4s5,6O0 fine oun.
ces of silver, valued at $344l7,bo6.
Although next to the record output OF
1914 in quantity, according to II. ID.
McCackey, of the survey, the value,
based on the low average price OF
s05I per fine ounce for 1915 - the
lowest In the history of the industry
was considerably below the values
for 1914 and many previous years,
when production was smaller but
prices ruled higher.
Increases in the mine production OF
silver were especially notable in Mon
tana, Utah and Arizona, and were con
siderable in Idaho, Alaska. New Mex
leo and Texas; but large decreases
were reported from Colorado ana
from Nevada, following similar de
creases In 1914 Preliminary totals
based on ore marketed as distinguish
ed from ore smelted indicate re
cord output of nearly 74,000,000 oun
ces of silver from all domestic mines
for 1915: but some of this was pro

HEAVY PRODUCTION Of SILVER IN 1915
ACCORDING TO GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

smelters and refneries until 1916
Record Output in Nevada
Final figures will probably show
that in mine output of silver Mon
tana passed Nevada and took first
place in 1915 with record output,
the early figures indicating an increse
over the production for 1914 OF more
than 100000 ounces. due chiefly to
increased copper and zinc-lead min
ing at Butte.
Nevada silver mines showed a de-
crease of about $4,000 ounces, fol
lowing similar large decrease in
1914, due mainly to the low prices OF
silver. The Tonopah silver-gold mines
were the largest producers again In
1915. and the Nevada Wonder and
Nevada Hills mines, in Churchill
county, end the mines of the Roches
ter district, in Humboldt county, were
also active. Operations in the Rand
district in Mineral county, and at the
old camp of Belmont. in Nye county
were also of interest.

Idaho increased about 100000 ounces
in 1915. The output OF Idaho Is de

ditions of 1914 for silver producers in
to the early part of 1915. Not until
the last months of 1915, when Lon
don stocks became lower and demands
for coinage increased among the allies,
as well as for supplies for India and
China, did the market improve. An
upward trend, however, is finally in
dictated at the close of the year. The
production of copper, lead, and zinc
ores that yield large quantities of
silver has for some months been at
the maximum. and an increasing out
put of silver from siliceous ores is
now encouraged The Canadian out
put will increase, but the Mexican
production, cut to low figures during
the recent revolution, can not resume
its normally high position for some
months after peace is restored in
Mexico.
Official average prices for fine sill
yer in New York in 1915, rejecting
conditions above outlined, were alb
normally low The monthly prices
averaged 49.6 cents per fine ounce

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF THE WAR


Conditions in Mongolia, south of the
Trans-Siberian railway, are much the
same as in that part of Manchuria
through which the railway actually
runs Russians have practically all
the trade in Mongolia, especially the
northern part. and it is in effect a
Russian dependency rather than a
Chinese territory.
The Kutuktu, the head of the Bud
dhists in Mongolia, who is resident at
Urga and who is the most powerful
leader in Central Asia, negotiated an
agreement last June by which China's
nominal control of outer Mongolia was
to be recognized but he has recently
refused to carry out the terms Of the
agreement. Although Russia, as well
as China, was party to the agree
ment 1t Is charged by some Chinese
officials that the Kutuktu has been in
fluenced in some way by the Russians
who desired to create friction. The
Monaghan people, themselves, have
frequently endeavored to get Russia
to recognize them as an independent
state and defend them against China
and Japan. Chinese officials are en-
deavoring to pursuade the Kutuktu
to carry out his agreement, but il Is
reported that Chen-lo, the Chinese dip
