COTTON BREAKS Sl0 PER BALE
 AT NEW YORK
Peace News Reacts On Cot- ton Market-Trader
 Puzzled.
The Limit of 20 Points Is Invoked In First Day
 Trading of Peace.

New Orleans, Nov. 12-After an advance of 25 to Fl points on the first call today, cotton fell ten dollars a bale and remained at the lowest for full half session, closing at the bottom. Before the noon hour the war rule limiting fluctuations to 200 points in any one session began to De invoked Lowest prices were 129 to 172 points under the final quotations of last week.
 Overnight buying orders were in evidence on the opening but when they were filled the market had no support Selling for short account in- creased greatly by the middle of the morning.
 The fluctuations of the session marked the efforts of the trade to adjust itself to peace conditions. Af- ter the first flush of bullish enthu- siasm over the coming of peace was gone the bearish view prevailed.
 Spot cotton refused to follow the decline in contracts, local quotations being unchanged at 30.3S for middling.
 New York, Nov. 12.-The first day of trading since the signing of the armjstice was marked by very scv- ere break in the cotton market. For the first time since the rule was pass cd by the board of managers placing limit of 200 points on daily fluctua- tions. The market remained weak, however, and the close was at the low est, showing net decline of 134 to 175 points.
 The market opcucd firm at an ad- vance of 21 to 60 points on covering and scattered buying which was evil dently inspired by enthusiasm over the peace news. Offerings immediately increased with Wall Street and the south sellers and the decline was ac- companied by rumors that foreign governments had withdrawn their buying orders. These rumors were not confirmed, but they evidently added to the nervousness of senti- ment, while there were very few buy CTS around the ring and it did not re- quire large offerings to dcprcss prices.
 There were conflicting reports from Washington regarding the prob- able action of price fixing committees which are now considering the sche- dule of goods prices to take effect l November 16, some claiming that there would be no change while others seemed to be looking for a decline. 1 Notwithstanding the southern selling here, local spot brokers said they heard of no weakness among interior holders, who still anticipated grad ual improvement in the export move ment.

 Little Rock, Nov. g. Theatre sup pers and afternoon teas, or any other repast, for that matter,' which con- stitutes fourth meal.' is condemn ed by the United States Food Admin istration as "unpatriotic and contrary to the principles of conservation and labor" The extra meal is declared to be "as unnecessary as fifth wheel on cart" Neither is it necessary for health and most decidedly is 1t not necessary for social purposes at this time. state officials.
 "Discontinue afternoon teas and theater suppcrs is tho request that comes from Washington. "The con- sumption of sandwiches. cakes and sugar which usually accompany these meals. especially afternoon teas, makes an unnecessary wastcr of food stuffs."
 The food administration recognizes the fact that there will often be le- gitimate occasions for banquets, club lunches, church suppers or similar functions. In such sases the request is made, the hours when these are held be so regulated to take the place of one of the three regular meals at home. In other words, make the ban auct luncheon or church supper, if such must be held, serve as an intel ljgcnt lesson in strict food conserva- tiOn.
 Many organizations in Arkansas, church, fraternal- and social, have passed resolutions to refrain from the extra meal feature until after the war" said State Food Administrator Hamp Williams, "and tho fact that Mir. Hoover has renewed the appeal to discontinue tho extra meal should impress upon every one that greater conservation of food than ever before is being demanded of tho people ot United States. "1n France and England no meals arc served after o'clock at night. In both those countries public eating places are closed for a definite period during tho afternoon. We have been spared tho hardships the French and English have had to suffer, and we ought to be willing to comply with
 the request to do without the extra
 meal. Furthermore, the three we eat in our homes should be planned i'll

ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE

Army regulations require that
soldier who is absent from his COM
mand without leave for ten days shall
be dropped from the rolls and declaI,
ed a deserter. Penalties for desertion
in war times are severe. The death
penalty even, may be imposed. Even
if the soldier is not tried and convict
ed of desertion he will have deducted
fro mhis pay the $50 reward which
the government pays for the arrest OF
any deserter.
There is a sort of feeling among
some soldiers that absence without
leave from the army is about like
playing hockey from school. Nothing
could be more mistaken. In the first
place our American soldiers are men,
not mischievous boys; men embarked
in the very serious undertaking Of
getting ready to fight for their coun-
try and to free the world from the
scourge of German militarism; men
upon whose training, efficiency and
discipline the honor and safety of the
United States will depend.
For men in such position and with
such stern duty and high privilege be-
fore them to adopt the mental atti-
tude of the school boy playing hockey
to go swimming. means not only a
lowering of their own efficiency and
standing as soldiers. but also a SER
ious setback to the training of their
fellows who are earnestly trying their
best to get ready to whip the kaiser
For their friends an drelatiYes, who
have nothing to lose, to encourage
them in such dangerous and demor-
alizing act is, if anything, even more
deplorable. Friends and relatives
should be very particular not to urge
soldiers to come hcme on account of
sickness or family trouble without
first obtaining proper leave.

SPRING A SURPRISE

One ballot for the bishops was
taken. The result will be announced
later.
The bishops sprung a surprise when
they announced they would veto the
conference action granting laity
rights to women, changing the word
ing of the ritual and holding it should
be submitted to the annual confer
ences before it becomes law. The con.
ference by an overwhelming vote
ratified its previous action. The ques-
tions now go to the annual confer
ences.
