Beware Of Tainted News.
Second-Ninety-fve per cent
OF the news we are receiving
from Europe comes from Lon
don, and England is naturally
anxious to get us into the war.
Therefore we must be on our
guard and refuse to accept
every foreign dispatch at its
face value.
In this connection the follow
ing interview with Col. Fred
erlck Hale, United States sena-
tor elect from Maine, who re-
turned from Europe the other
day, is interesting:
"The allies want us in the
war;" said Colonel Hale.
Lloyd George wants us in the
war; Premier BRAND wants us
in the war.

George before | left England. l
also talked with BRAND in
France and other prominent Of
ficials. Without exception
they were elated at the step
which sent Count Won Bern
storff back to Germany and
believe the next move will
carry the United States into
war on the side of the allies.
:"They declare the spectacle
of the American troops fighting
the German armies in France
would have a tremendous
moral effect. 1t is felt that the
United States could help most
by conveying steamships and
by allowing use of her great
credit"
Big Dailies for War.
Third-The majority of the
big daily papers in this country
were for war long before the
president severed diplomatic
cation with Germany. fNToW
they are attempting to silence
the advocates of peace by
branding them as "Pro-Ger-
mans" and, at the same time,
endeavoring to make the peo-
pie believe that President Will
son has changed front and is
for war.
These papers did not sup
port the president in the last
campaign and they are not au-
thorized to speak for him now.
Wilson is just as earnestly in
favor of peace today as he was
last October, and he never loses
an opportunity in his public ut
terances to make that clear.
Extra Session of Congress.
We will probably have an
extra session of Congress and
it may be called at an early
date. The controversy over
the armed ship issue lead to a
filibuster in the senate, which
resulted in the defeat of a num-
ber of the appropriation bills.
Of course, the Departments
can not operate without money
and it will be necessary for
Congress to come to the rescue
at once.
In addition to that at a time
like this Congress should be in
session. The president has pa
tiently and courageously borne
his burdens, and now, when
the crisis is most acute, Con.
gress should not evade its re.
sponsibilities.

COTTON AWAY UP;
 THEN FALLS 0FF
Reports of Another Cold Wave In Belt, Establishes New Rec ord, But Heavy Selling Causes a Decline.

New York, Oct. 15.-Reports of another cold wave in the belt were followed by an advance, which carried most active months into high ground Tor the season in the cotton market today. December contracts sold at l27.27, or F points above the previous best level, and 67 points above the closing prices of last Thursday. Re- actions followed under heavy realiz- ing with that delivery selling off to 26.63 and closing at 26.6S. The gen. eral list closed steady, net 15 points higher to 15 points lower.
 b The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 40 to 72 points. The advance to 27.00 for January and 27.05 for March brought in a great deal of real Iizing, however, while there was also some Southern selling. Offerings were pretty we'll absorbed on a scale down, owing to a good demand from trade interests and fresh buying for long account. January declined to 26,26c, and March to 26.17, or about 64 to SS points from the early high level. The early talk around the ring was extremely bullish, and re- fleet a very general disposition to scale down crop estimates. Figures mentioned in that connection ranged from about 12 1-2 to 12 3-4 million bales, including linters.

HEAVY SHR|NKAGE
 MARKET QUOTATIONS
Due to Efforts of Holders of Se- curities to Dispose of Them for the Purpose of Re-invest- ing in Liberty Bonds.

Little Rock, Oct. 16.-State Bank Commissioner Davis yesterday re- ceived message from Comptroller of the Currency Williams, in which he says:
 Owing to the efforts of holders of securities throughout the country, but especially in the East, to dispose of them for the purpose of re-investing their proceeds in Liberty Bonds, and also because of other special reasons operating at this time, there has been a heavy shrinkage in the market quo- tations of many high grade invest ment securities which have been forced down to prices far below their intrinsic worth and below figures to which naturally they may be expected to return upon the restoration of nor maj conditions. This depression tenn porarily has created a degree of un- easiness which Is not justified by basic conditions"
 The comptroller has issued state ment reviewing the causes leading up to these conditions and concluding as follows: "The comptroller of the currency has instructed National Bank examiners that they need not at this time require national banks holding high grade bonds of unquestioned in- trinsic value and merit to charge such investments down to present abnor- maj figures. But an intelligent and conservative discretion will be exer- cised as to the price at which national banks can safely and reasonably be permitted to carry such high class securities and as to what proportion of the depreciation should be charged off in any six months period"

0FACERs ON GUARD
 VIOLATE CENSORSHIP
o,,. Rack to This Country IaSle Ssws of Arrival in France rermer nsr Officer Requested Pub I;city Be Given News.

u.s,ington. Oct. 15.-Aroused by .,,;cation, in some parts of the coun- try, of private cablegrams announcing m %n,na .,,ival ",i of American troops in France a.. .ss war and navy departments today .n0k steps to prevent a repetition or wv wv ;,o;dents which may result in the ,ourt-martial of the officers who sent the messages
 h me case, a former national .ord officer wired his governor of the ..;ro, of the states troops, but so far ., 1. known here newspapers in that lo,ality observed the governments vountary censorship request and did not print the cable.
 In the other case, however, a form sr national guard officer telegraphed tbs governor of his state of the ar ,;vsl of his regiment with a request that it be given fullest publicity. The governors office gave out the cable rram and many papers in that state nrrted the news. This morning other newspapers published the dispatch and added the number and designation of the regiment, all in violation of the voluntary censorship.
 The war department has most urg- ently requested that nothing whatever be printed about arrivals of rtoops abroad, promising at the same time to report promptly any casualty. Friends who know troops have sailed and hear nothing further may assume they have arrived safely.
 Steps probably will he taken to pre- vent the sending of similar messages from the other side, and to prevent their delivery, if necessary, should they get through by mistake. All troops abroad now are under the fed Hal government and no longer are under state control. By reason of this fact the government can exercise what the war department regards as necessary censorship over news of their movements.
