C0TT0N SEED MEN
 FAIL I'D CONFER
Misunderstanding Prevents Conference
 With Food Administrator-Wili r. Meet Next Friday.

The committee recently appointed by the Jefefrson Lincoln County Cot ton Growers association to confer with State Food Administrator Hamp Will liams, in regard to the marketing of cotton seed, returned from ilttles Rock yesterday. Owing to a misundelstnd- ing, Mir. Williams did not confer with the committee, being in Hot Springs at the time, but date was set for a meeting of the committee in the city next Friday, at which time Mr. Williams will be present. .
 The planters who compose this com mittee are Judge II. D. Palmer, J. w. Crockett, l.. w. Clement and J. w. Ferguson and they will meet in con junction with representatives of thc Scotts Cotton Growers association.
 Planters in this vicinity have large quantity of cotton seed on hand which they are unable to market, due to the fact that the government rules anc regulations prevent the purchase of more than a certain amount of this commodity by the oil mills. The rules also prevent the planters from having over a certain amount of seed on hanc for given length of time, and while q number of planters have on hand : large quantity of cotton seed they state that they cannot dispose of il and therefore cannot be guilty ot violating the rules set down by the government.
 Efforts will be made at the con ference with Wr. Williams to secure special concessions from the govern ment, which will allow the oil mills t purchase more seed or will permit tn planters to store the seed for longe time.

 Dead Where Skull with Bullet Hole Was Found

jury the bodies were merely buried with the ancient Indian rites, the half converted savages not quite belieAg the new faith It is thought that about the bodies were placed in cups and cans bits of food to tide the passer over into the next world, weapons for defense, while it is probable that the horse owned by the decedent was killed and the saddle buried with the body so that he might have a mount when once the river of death was crossed.
 One theory advanced was that a band of visiting Papago Indians had come infected with smallpox and had died by the wholesale, their terror stricken hosts, the Pimas, hurrying the dead, goods and all. into the inches along the wall of the wash, doing the act with little ceremony and in great hurry because of the fear of the dis ease.
 Another and more romantic theory is that some band of Indians had there (Contnued on Page TwO)

AMERICANS DRIVE
 DOWN ENEMY PLANE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, July 31.-(By the Associated Press .)-Aerial activity was greatly increased today owing to the fact that the weather after several weeks of storms, cleared. American aviators undertook reconnaissance missions, chiefly, but the pursuit machines also were up. Two American flyers at tackled two German scouts over Mont- sec. on the Woevre and drove one enemy plane down.
 The Germans put over heavy bar rage in the Woevre sector this morning. It lasted more than half an hour, and it is probable they sent infantry across behind the barrage. But their fire was entirely wasted as the positions had been evacuated.
 The destruction of a German balloon on July 29 has been verified and an- other was brought down yesterday.

PR0SPECTSFOR. PEACE SUBJECT
 OF HIS LETTER
Lord Lansdowne, Says Eng
 land Will Fight to Bitter
 End Rather Than Accept
 Peace Without Honor
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, July 31.-Another letter upon peace prospects, written by the Marquis of Lansdowne. was read at a conference of his supporters today.
 Lord Lansdowne is the only British statesman of first rank who is listed in his own country and abroad as pacifist. and it is thought his words will be given the greatest publicity in the countries of the central powers, where it is insisted they represent powerful portion of British thought
 Does not Create Stir
 The Lansdowne letter has been apa- thetically received in political circles The general parliamentarian opinion is said to be well summarized in the comment of one member of the house of commons:
 "The letter is simply an elongation of Lansdowne's previous announce ment, but it is an elongation leading nowhere
 In his letter. Lord Lansdowne said: We are about to commence the fifth year of the great struggle for liberty and next week we shall reaffirm a sol | emn resolve not to desist from the ef- fort until peace with honor is in sight.
 Meanwhile, with every month that passes the toll which the war is claim ing becomes heavier and heavier. The civilized world is being drained of it's | resources, is spending it's energies in purely destructive efforts, each of which involves the further domination of it's reserves of power, and the fur ther mutilation of the machinery of production
 Says Desire for Peace Is Widespread Lord LansdOwne referred to the | estimates placing the casualties of the belligerents at 30,000 900, of which r. | 900 900 have been killed and 5000. 900 made prisoners or numbered among the missing, and to the declined birth rate which according to the registrar general in a recent paper is costing the belligerents 12,50O,000 potential lives, of which 650,000 have been lost 10 Eng. land and Wales
 Sooner than accept a dishonorable peace,' he says, we are all ready to fight on to the bitter end"
 After referring to the loss of life he said the desire for peace was wide spread among the enemy nations.
 Upon no other assumption is it pos sible to explain the language of those Austrians and Germans who are in q position to speak their minds freely or the constant feelers launched by the governments of the central powers.
 Far From End as Ever
 But we are apparently as far as ever from the end. The tide of car mage and destruction continues to flow and carries all before it. From time tt time ray 6f reasonableness illumine: the gloom, only to be followed by a re. lapse into recriminations and contro versies in which each side. instead O searching for points of agreement, i apparently content with dialectic sue ceSses.
 What is it that stands in the way l. is with no desire to embarrass th' government that l ask the question

 Indian Witnesses Testify
 At yesterdays inquest a number of Indians young men who were prevailed upon to come there by J. K. Mccarthy of Florence and Charles Nafziger dep uty sheriff. testified. They expressed the belief that the bodies were those of Papagoes who had come to the reser- vation to help in harvesting-come in large numbers, many of whom had died. They did not know whether there had been any plague or not, but were quite sure the bodies were those of Papagos.
 One find made yesterday was inn portant. A package of cigarette papers was discovered at the main cave bear ing manufacturers date of 1903. It would thus seem that the bodies had teen placed there since that year or not over II years ago.
