.DRAFTED MEN ARE
 HEROIC IN BATTLE.
Old-Time Regular Gains Respect for Rockies on French Battle Field How "Old Jack" Was Lead to
 See by New Light.

With American Army in France. Oct. 4.-There's no denying that for a while lover here" there was some prejudice against drafted men. but all that nonsense has been knocked in the head by the magnificent way the National Army boys have behaved in battle,
 One or two instances show the great change in sentiment toward the draft men that now prevails in out fits that were made up largely of reg ulars or volunteers.
 There's "old" Jack Smith, for in- stance; IA years in the regular serv- Ice and only 32 years old now. Served in the Philippines and Mexico. and came over here early in the game. One day l heard Old Jack roasting the new draft army.
 "A lot of white-livered sissies." he sneered. 'Too nice to sign up of their own accord, but had to wait to be pulled in by the government. We'll have many good laugh when we see em under fire.".
 Not long ago Old Jack went for ward, from one shell-hole to another, toward a little French village, out of which the Huns were pouring terri 1 fic machine gune fire. It was night and the enemy guns were splitting streams of fire. Suddenly a German 77 shell exploded a few yards away, and Old Jack went down in a heap. He came to face downward in a she'll hole, with blood oozing from hole in his side. He was half dead for a drink of water. Feebly he called for help.
 But the outfit had pressed on in the darkness, and Old Jack was all alone in the shell-hole. Then he became sore and began to swear.
 "Why in hell don't they come out and get mel" Leave me here to die like a dog 2"
 Then came the realization that he was going to die. Genuine terror seized him. He had never counted on death. He had always had the firm conviction that, no matter how many others around him "went west" no damned German bullet would ever get me-"
 He lay there grooming. All at once a couple of doughboys drew near and lifted him out of the shell-hole. The boys got out their first aid kits and gave him what attention they could, and started to carry him back, under heavy shell fire.
 After what seemed to Old Jack an all-night trip they got him to the sta- tion. Under the stimulus of a shot in the arm, Old Jack revived sufficient ly to look around. He saw the two boys who had carried him back thru that terrible barrage. He stuck out his hand to them.
 You know I'd do as much for you any time," he said. But, say, why in hell were you fellows coming back this way when you found me? Why weren't you going forward toward that town?v
 And then he saw for himself. One of the boys had been shot thru the hand, the other in the shoulder. They had been sent back to have their in- l juries dressed
 Old Jack told this story himself.
 And what do you know about it 2" | he said. "Both of those guys were ! draftiesl I'll never say another word [ against a draftie, so help me Godl" I

OF COTTON
 PRICE UNLIKELY
Report Direct From Washington Indi. dicates That No Such Action Will Take Place Unless Unusual

Special to The star.

Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Oct. 3.-When the az. ricultural commissioners of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina reached Washington last week to pro- test against the proposed fixing of cotton prices, they were told it was too late-that it was already done.
 They were told that the prices were already fixed, and that it was only a question of working out some of the details before it was an- nounced.
 But the commissioners did not des- pair. They sought conference with Congressman from the South, and then with the President, who referred them to Barney Baruch, chairman of the War Industries Board, as his per- sonal representative.
 For three hours the committee dis cussed the matter with him and he finally agreed that the fixing of a price for cotton would be deferred for the time being.
 He said further that no price would be fixed unless some extraordinary condition should arise, such as an ex- treme fuctuation of the price either way.
 The following telegram was receiv- ed by Commissioner Page yesterday from Senator W. F. Kirby:
 "It appears that there is no pur- pose on the part of the government now to further interfere with the price or usual marketing conditions of cotton. The producers should have the benefit of the information in mak- ing sales"

TANKS OVERRUN MACHINE CUNNERS
Troops Wade Thru Murderous Fire and Capture Hun Positions-Fierce Struggles Mark Advance of Amer
 ican Troops-Fritz Fears Steel

With the American Army in the St. Quentin Sector, Oct. 2.-Ameri- can regiments fighting on the Hin denburg line along this sector of the front have seen some of the hardest fighting of the war. It was furious ly desperate struggle into which they plunged. They fought day and night in groups and single-handed in and out of shell holes. They showed gal lantry, self-sacrifice and devotion to duty unsurpassed by any other troops.
 From the instant they leaped from their trenches they ran into snipers and hordes of machine guns. German infantrymen, spurred on by their off, cers, stood up before them offering hand-to-hand combat.
 A Terrific Struggle.
 Some of the stories of the men who fought tell of the terrific nature of the struggle. One Brooklyn regiment took and retook a position known as the "knoll' three times. The battle swung back and forth with the men so close to each other that rife bull lets were just as effective as any, thing else.
 On the first assault the Americans rushed forward and suddenly met masses of machine guns, which were camoufiaged and held their fire until the Americans were close upon them. The Americans went right on and were on top of the guns before they began firing. The Germans did not continue their murderous work long. A dash, leap, a flash of a bayonet and a stab of flame from rifle and one nest after another was silenced and the Americans plunged on.
 British Relieve Surrounded Tanks.
 London, Oct. Describing the rescue of a contingent of Americans who for two days had been cut off from their comrades in an advanced position between Cambrai and St. Quentin, the Mails correspondent says it was one of the most dramatic incidents of the war.
 The Americans rushed forward with too high courage on Sunday, the correspondent writes, and became completely and very deeply encircled. There they remained until Tuesday, when British unit forced it's way across the canal and released them.
 The American stand and the relief of the beleaguered party probably will become incidents famous in the annals of the war.
 The Americans had no food nor ammunition except what they carried in, but they hung on against repeated attempts to rush and capture them and left great ring of German dead about their isolated position.
