ARKANSAS GINNERS
 TO RAISE PRICES
Will Charge 20 Cents Per Hun dred and S2 for Bagging- John H. Page Delivered an Address on the Law.

r Fort Smith, July 20.-The Western Arkansas Ginners' Association, at a meeting here today, decided to call a state convention at Little Rock on August II and 15, for the purpose of perfecting a state organization for protection of ginners. The members of the Western Association decided to charge 20 cents a hundred pounds for ginning seed cotton and to charge $2 per bale for bagging this season, making the bale cast approximately S5.
 The meeting was called for the pur- pose of discussing the so-called ware house, marketing and gin law passed by the last legislature, providing many regulations for ginning of cot ton which ginners declare makes it necessary for an increase in the price for ginning.
 There was considerable discussion as to whether or not the association would violate the antitrust lows of its members agreed in writing on cer- tain charges,
 The storing of cotton seed for GUS toners, and buying of cotton seed on estimated weight, were condemned. The new gin law was approved for the most part, especially that section which prohibits the ginning of wet cotton. John H. Page, state commits toner of agriculture, addressed the meeting on the law.

RUSSIAN REGIMENT
 DESERTS TRENCHES
Retirement Without Orders For ces Others Back and Leads to Defeat,-Tries to Kill Keren- sky.

New York, July O-Disaffection among Russian troops has resulted in an important gain by the Germans and Austrians in the region of Zloch- off, east of Lemberg, the Galician cap- ital.
 Persistent German attacks at first were repulsed by the Russians. Later a Russian regiment, near the center of the line, left its trenches and re- tired, forcing the other units to fall back. This movement, Petrograd says gave the Germans opportunity for developing their movement.
 Some Russian troops are reported to have refused to obey their com manders under the influence of the extremists, who brought about the recent disorders in the Russian capi- tai.
 Prince Leopold led the Austro-- Ger man advance and his troops, Berlin says, occupied three zones of defense and captured "a few thousand prison- ers."
 Northwest of Halicz and Zlochoff, the Russians have repulsed German efforts. A Russian attack near No- vica, south of Kalusz, brought no inn portant gain.
 An attempt to assassinate AleXan- der Kerensky, the Russian minister of war, who encouraged the Russian sol diers to take the offensive on July 1. has failed. A shot fired at him in the town of Polotsk missed him.
 Another effort by the German crown prince to regain the California and Classmates Plateau, between Hur- tebise and Craonne on the Aisne front has been checked by the French.
 The Germans attacked repeatedly in mass formation, but every attempth was repulsed and the French held to their positions.
 Elsewhere in the front in France there have been only raids and artil- cry duels.

TO OFFER
 AVIATION FIELD TRACT

TeXarkana, July 20.-(Special.)- J. Efforts are being made by the Cham Der of Commerce to find suitable tract of land to offer the war depart ment for use as an aviation field, and Secretary Carpenter and others yes terday afternoon motored to the prai- rie near New Boston, Teras, to make a survey of that land and secure data concerning it.
 A field of $40 acres of level grown must be had. There can be no hill ocks or gulches in it. The narrowest part of such field is required to be a mile in width. Any timber on the site must be cut, and the entire field made level. Other requirements are that the field must be near railroad communications; there must be ample water supply, and the cost of the propery also is considtred.
 There is no such tract near Texark- ana, hence the investigation of pro- perty in other precincts,

AVIATION INSPECTION
 WAITING ON SENATE
ObstructiOnists Blocking Ap- propriatiOn Bill for Sites May Be Passed Next Week. Memphis is Favored.

Washington, July 20.-Maj. Foulois and Capt. E. Edgar of the aviation corps will leave Washington for Mem phis to inspect the site recommended for the aviation training school as soon as the Senate passes the S640,- 100000 appropriation bill for the dew elopment of this important branch of the army service.
 The bill now pending consideration in the Senate was passed by the House some days ago without roll call.
 Col. Salzman advised Senator Me Kellar today that the inspectors, as indicated, would leave here for Mem phis as soon as the Senate passed the aviation bill, which carried authori- zation for the purchase of sites for es- tablishing 22 aviation training schools
 Senator McKellar said today that the bill may be passed next Monday or Tuesday. If it is not voted on by the latter date Senator McKellar will circulate petition for a cloture rule to bring the issue to a vote.
 The Senate would have voted on the bill several days ago, but for the obstructive tactics of Senator LaFal- cite of Wisconsin and Senator Gronna of North Dakota, two of the twelve wilful senators" who embarrassed the president and the administration on the ship purchase bill last winter.
 LaFolette and Gronna threaten to make trouble for the aviation bill, just as they. with handful of other anti yerything senators, have labored to MaEe President Wilson's official path wav as difficult in this great crisis as possible.
 The country knows who these twelve wilful senators" are. For tunately, however, their power for harm is limited and the aviation bill, as the other bills to which they object cd and attempted to obstruct, will pass X vote on it may be postponed a few days, but the Senate will pass it by an overwhelming vote whenever there is a showdown,
 Senator McKellar is quite hopeful of final approval of the Memphis site, which has been strongly recommend ei.
