FOR MORE LIBERAL
 HANDLING VICE QUESTION

Little Rock, Aug. 27.-There are some good intentioned citizens who have contended for a more liberal handling of the vice question on ac- count of the quartering of a great army just outside the city limits. They have even contended that the segregated district should be reopened under police regulation. But such a policy, bitterly opposed by the pres ent city administration, is as strongly condemned by the government itself. The suppression of the social evil in cities adjacent to cantonment camps is one of the big problems the War Department has to contend with A personal representative of the secre- tary of war, with police power, has been assigned to Little Rock, and is cooperating with the police in the sup pression of vice Gov. Brough has also appointed a state commission, of which A. B. Poe of Little Rock is chairman, to work with him. Sup pression and not regulation" is the motto that has been adopted by the government, and city councils wher- ever cantonments are located are be- ing asked to pass stringent laws that will curb the evil as much as possible.

DRAFT ARMY WILL BE
 MOVING IN 10 DAYS
Five Per Cent of Quota Must Report by September 3 - Check Will Be Kept on Them to Prevent Escapes.

Washington, Aug. 26.-America' first mobilization of her citizen man. hood for war will begin within 10 days.
 War Department officials today de- tailed at length each step of the vast process which will bring 687 ,000 men to the colors before it is complete.
 The first move will be made early this week. Each of the approximate ly 4,500 local boards will notify five per cent of their quota to present themselves on Monday, Sept. 8, or Tuesday, Sept. 1, for military service.
 The men thus called will be selected from among the quota called in the first draft because of their special qualifications through previous mill tary service or their ability to cook In accordance with instructions, they will present themselves at the office of the local board of their district. There they will be given instructions when and where to appear for entrainment to the mobilization camp to which the men from their locality are assigned. In addition, they will be handed rail road tickets and meal tickets. They will travel in day coaches, as the mo- bilization camps are so located that there will be few long hauls, except in the west and southwest.
 Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder, who has worked out every detail in con- nection with the raising of a draft army from the first day it was pro- posed, is now engaged in preparing train schedules for the various quotas as they are ordered to camp. He will complete these schedules this week and will wire them to the local boards.
 All the boards will have to do is to instruct the men what train to take and give them their tickets. A repre- sentative of the board will be at the station to see that the men ordered out report and are entrained. If man fails to show up military guard will be sent after him and he will be arrested as a deserter.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Charm Declines Bring Loss of a5I to 271 Points for Period Early in Week Peace Talk Was Steadying Influence.

New Orleans, Aug. 26.-Sharp de- elnes took place in the cotton market ,os+ week and the weakness persisted ,n+;l the close, which was practically o+ the lowest and 251 to 271 points down from the closing level of the nrovious week. Heavy selling for both accounts appeared on each ses- sion of the past week, the highest nyices being made on Monday, each dav witnessing a steady widening of the losses.
 The lack of a spot demand in the interior. the apparent eagerness of farmers to realize prevailing prices for their cotton, the favorable wealth or conditions over the greater part of the belt and the generally improved tone of crop accounts were largely re- sponsible for the selling. There was much letting go of long cotton, es- pecially toward the weekend.
 Early in the week peace talk was steadying influence, but later it was offset by the unfavorable opinion held regarding the situation in Russia.
 This week the market will be chief ly concerned with the state of affairs in the spot markets of the belt and with private estimates of the condi- ton figures to be published by the De- partment of Agriculture Friday which will carry the crop down to the 25th. The trade deems it foregone conclu- sion that this report will be favorable. If expectations are met 1t will mean that for the first time this season the condition of the crop is higher than the condition of the corresponding date a year ago.
 Lower spot markets would natur- ally work against values in the con- tract market. Bullish traders, how ever, predict that the decline cannot go much farther without meeting holding movement on the part of farmers.
 The market will close Friday night for the usual triple Labor Day holi- days

his speech, speaking of the dangers from the extreme left, he declared
 "All attempts with armed force against the peoples power will be crushed with blood and iron."
 Still more applause greeted him when, limiting at counter revolution ary conspiracy, he exclaimed;
 Let them be warned who think the time has come when, relying on the bayonet, they can overthrow our revo- lution."
 The audience arose and cheered this expression for five minutes.

KERENyKY PROMISES AN IRON HAND TO STOP
 ANY COUNTER REVOLT
Russian Premier Opens Great Conference at MOscOw-COn- servatives Warned Not to At tempt Military Uprising.

Moscow, Aug. 26.-Russia is pass ing through a period of mortal dan ger, Premier Kerensky today told the state council which assembled in Mos COW to consider the present situation of the country and plans for a new national government. He declared that any attempt to take advantage of the conference for an attack on the national power, as embodied in the provisional government would be re- pressed pitilessly "by blood and iron."
 The council, which promises import ant results in the national life of Russia opened at 3 o'clock this after noon in the Grand Opera with that solemnity and old Russian pomp es- pecially characteristic of Moscow. The theater district was crowded with sightseers and interspersed among the members of the council were to be seen characteristic Russian types, in cluding Tartars in peaked caps, white robed Mullahs from the Volga, Geor- gians robed in cloth of gold cassoks and dignitaries of the Greek orthodox church, who had arrived for the ecu mencal church congress, which begins Tuesday.
 Notwithstanding the one-day strike proclaimed by the Bolsheviki in pro- test against the council as a counter revolutionary expedition, the city is quiet. A few incipient attempts by the Bolsheviki street corner orators to organize demonstrations were sum- marily suppressed by the crowds and no serious incident occurred.
 Precautions were taken against dis orders of all descriptions and the coun- cil threatens to show a rigor in this respect unknown even in ante-revo- lutionary days. The building in which the council is meeting is surrounded by a close chain of soldiers, with off, cers every few yards, the soldiers be- ing picked men from regiments of the signal corps, or cadets training with fixed bayonets. Members and invited guests being admitted have their tickets examined by nine different military posts.
 Premier Kerensky and other minis ters of the provisional government oc- cupied the stage and were faced by Gems. Alexieff and Brussilof, former commanders-in-chief.
 The proceedings began with Ker- ensky's speech, lasting an hour and half, pronounced in nervous, impress sive voice, which aroused tremendous applause, mainly from that part of the theater occupied by the democratic organizations and members of the cabinet, but the Duma men and the Moscow industrial deputies also at times participated. Premier Kerens- ky spoke resolutely, emphasizing the role he had played in recent events and his determination to guilds events in the future. The premier was greet ed with wild applause when, early in
