ENGLISH PREMIER
 DECLARES PEACE
 MUST BE LASTING
Says War Must Not Be Con- cluded Until Entente Ac-
 complishes Desires.

Glasgow. June 29.-In discussing the question of peace today, Premier Lloyd George said that if the war should be concluded single hour be- fore the allied powers reached the end they set out to attain at the be- ginning of the war, it would be the greatest disaster that ever befell man kind
 ''In my judgment" said the pre- miner, "this war will come to an end when the allied powers have reached the end they set out to attain when they accepted the challenge thrown down by Germany to civilization. Then, this war ought to come to an end, but if it comes to an end single hour before, it will be the greatest disaster that ever befell mankind.
 "I hear people say that Germany is ready to give us a satisfactory peace. No doubt you can have peace now at a certain price, for no doubt Germany wants peace, but it is a peace which would give her economic and other control over the countries which she has invaded"

NEW GINNING LAW GOES INTO EFFECT
 SUNDAY MORNING
Applications For License Pouring Into Depart
 ment's Office.

Little Rock, June 29.-The provis- ions of the new warehouse, marketing and gin regulating law, enacted by the last general assembly for the licens- ing and regulation of gins becomes ef- fective Sunday, July l.
 The department is being swamped with applications for license, as there are over 2000 gins in the state. Each ginner shall hereafter be required to attach to each bale of cotton ginned by him metal tax tag, to be fur nished by the department at cost of two and a half cents each. Failure to secure such tagl hall be punished by a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $50.
 It is provided that on or before Au- gust 1, each ginner shall deposit with the state treasurer sum of money equivalent to two and one half cents for each bale of cotton ginned by him the preceding season, and request that an equal number of tags be sent him.
 The following provisions regarding the ginning of wet cotton are given by the department:
 Limited States government experts have proven by scientific investiga- tion that, by reason of the practice of ginning cotton while wet, the pro ducer often loses as much as one full grade on his cotton. We are aware that the conscientious ginner does not desire to gin cotton while wet. but for fear of losing a customer, he has to do it when called on. He knows that ton, it damages his gin and causes loss of time. In the act providing for the regulating of cotton ginning, the ginner is forbidden to gin cot ] ton while wet. Any ginner who will fully violates this provision of the law may have his license cancelled for the remainder of the season, and be sub- ject to prosecution
