Roll of Honor in the Nations
Archives For Bond Purchasers

WASHINGTON, D. ca roll of
honor of the 100000 who buy lib
erty bonds is to be presented in the
nations archieves. Secretary Nc
Adoo today instructed the prepare
ton of the long roll. The names will
be inscribed on the parchment, but
not the amount, so the man who buys
only $50 bond will be on an equal
footing with all others in the genera
tons to come.

Inmates that there are in the United
States not less than 20,000,000 men,

In the years to come the fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters of those
subscribers, their children and their
grandchildren can point with patri-
otto pride to the names of their rel
atives or ancestors who have had a
part in this great national service.
The roll of honor will be alphabet
ically arranged and listed by states
and subdivisions of states so that

GAINING
GROUND in THE NORTH
SOCIALISTS PROFESS TO BE
PLEASED AT GOVERNMENT
CONTROL DURING WAR.

NEW YORK.-The growth of So
cialism is attracting wide attention.
In this city the possible size of the
vote that will be cast next month for
Morris Hillquit, socialist candidate
for mayor, is a consideration which
neither the Fusionists nor the Tam
many leaders are sighting in their
calculations.
The recent ratification meeting in
Madison Square Garden, attended by
more than 10000 persons, came as
a surprise to those who have not been
following the trend of international
politics closely.
The Socialists themselves are find
ing much material for congratulation
in the evidently increasing notice
being taken of their cause.
They point to the speech of Food
Controller Hoover before the conven-
ton of business men in Atlantic City
recently as an indication that what
they call the capitalistic class recog-
nizes the onward sweep of socialism
and is beginning to realize the neces-
sity Of taking steps to offset it.

A BATTLE ROYAL OF
The BULLS AND BEARS
COTTON SITUATION CREATES
AVERY INTERESTING ANGLE
FOR THE PUBLIC.

For three or four weeks there has
been a very interesting battle in Daw-
son between the bulls" and the
''bears" in the cotton market. And
the battle has gone on with varying
results as to each side. Jut now,
however, the bulls" seem to be in
the ascendancy, and are holding off
and the local exchange is daily void
of transactions, as no cotton is be-
ing offered.
There is an evidence of caution
being shown by each side in the fight
as there are many conditions enter
ing into the situation which make it
hard to fathom.
The bulls" watch very closely the
situation as regards the Egyptian cot
ton. This commodity has been barred
from the United States for some
time but there is a constant threat
that the embargo on it will be remov-
ed, which would result, of course,
in big slump in prices.
1t is said that tremendous pressure
is being brought to bear on the gov
ment to remove the embargo on the
Egyptian article.
The embargo was placed on the
cotton at a time when the United

FORMER PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
IS BLIND IN HIS LEFT EYE
Disclosure Has Just Been Made That
Sight Was Put Out in a Boxing
Match With Friend.

STAMFORD, Conn.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who is finishing
fortnight's training at rest camp
here, today received a delegation of
newspaper men, and stated that his
stay at the camp was simply for re-
Taxation.
He refused to talk about the war
or New York mayoralty politics.
Col. Roosevelt in telling of his box
ing exploits of former times, made
the disclosure that since he retired
from the white house, he has not had
the sight of his left eyes as the re-
suit Of a blow received in friendly
boxing match in the white house
gymnasium.
Il don't think many persons know
this" he said, "but the fact is l was
having a lively bout one day with
husky young captain of artillery
when he crossed me with hard right
swing and landed on my elft eye. The
punch broke some of the blood YES
sells of the eye and l haven't seen
from it since"

States was not a party to the war,
and this fact is being urged now as
a reason why it should be removed.
So far nothing has been done about
it, but the probability hangs like a
threat over the situation as some
thing that is likely to happen at al
most any moment. With something
like half million bales of Egyptian
cotton that could be turned loose,
the situation would change instantly
if the embargo should be removed by
the government.
The bulls" however, declare that
such a contingency is not so immi-
nent and that they will never wive
up until it does happen. If the en-
barge is not removed, they declare
cotton will go to 81 per pound.

Six of the escapes have been cap

 The proposal to create a joint com mittee of congress on expenditures of the war. written into the bill in the senate, and objected to by President Wilson as signifying a lack of conf dence in him, was the feature which started the trouble.

 Administration leaders, despairing oi sending the bill to conference under e unanimous consent agreement. are pre- pared to bring in a special rule tomor- row under which they expect to force a conference. and in addition to fn- struct the conferees to disa gree to all senate amendments.
 Taking the administration managers by surprise, MT. Mann served notice when the bill came up today that inc would not give unanimous consent for the bill to go to conference unless a separate vote were permitted on the war committee proposal. A nasty can- vass of those present convinced the administration men that they could not be certain of a majority against the proposal and adjournment was taken.

He is con- vinced that unless the situation is handled with hrmness, there must be an inevitable disaster.
 MT. Henderson said during the course of an interview today that it was nothing less than a misfortune that the continuance of the coalition government had proved impossible.

 As to the tax sources to be tapped to meet the new estimates, the com mittee for the present is entirely at sea. MT. McAdoo's announcement came without warning and more than enc committeeman expressed himself as completely staggered by the size Of the forthcoming estimate. The first deposition was to turn to new taxes on war excess profits and incomes.
 Many Sources of Revenue.
 There are many great sources of people like ours,' said Chairman Sim mons, but he would not predict what the committee would do.

Tt is with no disrespect that say it. he de- clared "but I believe that the whole idea of a dean being at the head of cathedral and the bishop having no right whatever in his see, is an un- catholic thing. In some cathedrals bishop cannot even preach without the leave of the dean and chauter. There are excellent men among them but the money spent yearly is more needed for the bishops of the new dioceses which are required"

MASTER LISTS ARE MAILED re
 THE LOCAL BOARDS
NATIONAL ARMY
Assembly is Now Out of the Hands of the Federal Government-The Final List Shows Only Few Errors in the Unofficial Report Furnished News papers on Day of Drawing-There Was Only One Duplicate Number Founds

Washington, July 24-With the master lists of Fridays conscription drawing in the mail for distribution to the local boards, the task of assembl- ing the national army of a half mill ion had passed out of the hands of the federal government tonight and in to those of the civilian authorities who will notify the men drawn and pass on exemptions.
 AS soon as the lists are received each board will summon for physical examination double the number of men in the district quota. If more are needed the authorities will keep on calling until the quota is filled.
 Only a Few Errors.
 The final list shows only a few er- TOTS in the unofficial report of the drawing already transmitted through out the country by the press. Includ- ing all the adjustments found neces- sary in correcting the official list to make up for numbers that were read upside down, or were misread, and also all errors in transcription in the rush of the drawing and the haste to get the figures to the wires, there are less than two score variations between the lists compiled by The Associated Press and the master sheet.
 The surprise of the official record is the fact that the missing number in capsule as No. 10,o04, was located as Serial No. 5,794. It was placed last
 in the master sheet and becomes Lia- bility No 10.500. No. 2.7S0, drawn as No. 10,498, was found to be duplicated and was stricken out. The other vari- ations, many of which already have been corrected, are as follows:
