WAR BOND BILL IS

House Committee FavOrs the $11,53S,945,460 Measure-Re- publicans Want Congressional Expenditures Committee.

Washington, Aug. 31.-Coincident with the voting of favorable report by the ways and means committee to- day on the $11,53S, ,945,46O war bond and certificate bill in virtually the form Secretary McAdoo wrote it, Re- publican leaders in the House an- nounced they would renew their fight for the creation of a congressional war expenditures committee.
 The proposed expenditures commit tee amendment, offered by Represen- tative Moore of Pennsylvania, was voted down along party lines in com mittee, but several Democrats eX- pressed their approval of it and Re- publicans were hopeful tonight that when it reaches the floor some Demo- cratic support will develop.

COTTON LOWER ON
 CONDITION REPORT
Close in New York Barely Stea- dy, IT to 37 Points Down Liverpool Was a Moderate Seller Here.

New York, Aug. 31.-A sharp break followed the publication of the gov .ernment's crop report in the cotton market this mroning, although the condition was almost exactly in line with average expectations. Decem- Der contracts sold off from 22.38c to 21.75c, but recovered part of the loss, closing at 21.95c The general list closed barely steady, at a net decline of IF to 37 points.
 The market was quiet, but pretty steady before the crop report was published. First prices were 5 to 10 points higher and the market worked some IT to 20 points above last nights closing figures before the end of the 22.38c and January at 22.34c. This was attributed to further covering for over the report and the approching holidays, but Liverpool was a moder- ate seller here and as soon as the government report was published of ferings became heavy. Immediate support was evidently lacking and within 15 or 20 minutes December sold off to 21.69c and January to PHO, or about 43 to 52 points under yes terday's close and 63 to 69 points be- low the high level of the morning. The break was then checked by cov- ering. October rallied to 22.24c and January to 22.11c, but met renewed liquidation around this level, with the tone nervous and unsettled in the late trading.
 Cotton futures closed basely steady.

CHILD LABOR LAW D
 HELD TO BE VALID
Federal Judge in North Carolina Makes the Ruling-COngress Cannot Regulate Labor With in State.

Greensboro, N. C., Aug. 31.-Judge James E. Boyd, in United States cir .,;t court here today, declared the Owen child labor law uncon- stitutional.
 1niunction proceedings which result od in Judge Boyd's ruling were broucht by Robert H. Dagenhart and b;s sons, Reuben and John, against bte Fidelity Manufacturing Company to nrevent the company from dismiss mo the two boys, minors, from the company's cotton mill at Charlotte.
 The law, which becomes effective Sept. 1, prohibits the employment of any child under II years of age in any factory, mill, workshop or cannery whose products are to be shipped in interstate commerce, and requires that the working day of children 14 to 15 years old shall not be longer than eight hours.
 Reuben Dagenhart is under Is and John Dagenhart under IA. The father contended he has a right to their wages until they are 21, and as the North Carolina law allows II hours a day. Reuben has right to work more than eight hours day, while John has a right to work in the mill, al- though under IA, because the state law permits it,

 SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
Opening of Campaign Tentative ly Set for Oct. 1-Plan of Pub licity Through Paid Advertis- ing Space Discussed.

Washington, Aug. 31.-The opening of the next liberty loan campaign has been set tentatively by the Treasury Department for Oct. l. Subscription books will close Nov. l unless the programme is altered.
 The amount, the interest rate, the denominations of the bonds and other details will be announced after Con- gress disposes of the pending bond bill. Indications are that the next of fering will approximate $3,000,000,0 ,000 Whether it will be advertised by the government through paid newspaper space is under consideration, but Sec retary McAdoo said tonight the cost of such an undertaking would exceed the appropriation now available for the purpose.
 Under the war revenue bill passed last April $7,0O0,0OO was made avail able for expenses of floating S5,000.- 100000 in bonds and S2,000,000,000 in short time certificates of indebtedness. It is reported that about half already has been disbursed in connection with the Notation of the S2,0OO,000,00O lib- erty bonds first offered and the cer- tificates of indebtedness put out in advance of the loan.

 Another provision designed to fore stall charges that the move is pGiti- cal would permit seven Democrats and six Republicans to compose the committee personnel. The committee would hold hearings and investise- tions at will and be given an a. IL tional appropriation of s10O,OOO.

LANDS FRAUDULENTLY
 OMITTED FROM SURVEYS

Little Rock, Sept. 1.-The U. S.. Land Office announces that the De- partment of the Interior on Aug. ? and Aug. 16, 1917, rendered decisions in which the title to certain lands comprising considerable areas within the so-called Golden Lake, Pemiscot Bayou and Swan Lake in Mississippi county, is vested in the government, on the ground that the lands were enormously or fraudulently omitted from the surveys at the dates of the original surveys of these townships. The original plats of the townships were filed in the U. s. Land Office in Little Rock, in the years 1925, 1883, 1884, 1845, 1S46 and 1S49. The De- partment has directed that the areas so omitted shall be disposed of under the public land laws.

According to report by the office OF
public roads, which takes notice of such
matters, there were S,512,s96 automobiles
and motor trucks and 25O,s2O motorcycles
registered in the United States in 1916.
This is an increase of 4S per cent over
tho registry Of cars and trucks for the
previous year. The gain was greatest
in the southern states, where it reached
Sc per cent. On the estimate OF the pres
ent population, there is now an automo-
bile for every 20 people in the United
States. On the basis of comfortable seat
ing capacity, this makes room for one
sixth of the inhabitants. Or. in other
words, If properly apportioned, every
sixth or seventh family would be found
supplied. The total license revenue de-
rived from this source for 1916 was $685.

All the olden rancor
Vanished with the years!
All the soaring anguish.
All the blood and tears!
Hands across the ocean
Clasped in friendship, yet
We have not forgotten;
Why should we forget?
Round the Cambridge camp fires
Lilt OF twilight airs;
Round the Cambridge camp fires
Sound of lifted prayers:
Then the seal of silence
On the soldiers set;
We have not forgotten;
Why should we forget?
In the starry midnight
March of men arrayed
With gun and mattock,
With the sword and spade!
on the heights behold them
In dawn,s dewy wet;
We have not forgotten;
Why should we forget?
Church bells clang and clamor,
Gallop Of Dragons,
Marching, counter marching,
Timed to martial tunes;
Then from frantic foemen
Ball and bayonet;
We have not forgotten:
Why should we forget?
