MARKET MAKES 4
 SHARP RECOVERY
Repeats Course of Previous Ses- sion, Scoring Big Gains Again on Reports of Crop DeteriOra- tiOn and War News.

New York, Aug. 9.-There was a further sharp recovery in the cotton market here today, owing to the con- tinued reports of crop deterioration in Texas and encouraging war news. October contracts sold up to 29.3Oc making an advance of a cent a pound from the closing price yesterday. while active months generally sold back to within 10 or 20 points of Tuesdays high record. The close was steady and showed net advance of IS to S9 points on the general list. The market opened steady at an ad- vance of "A to 83 points on reports from the Southwest that recent show CTS in Texas had been inadequate and that rains now probably would be too late to help the crop much in some sections.
 There was considerable realizing. but otherwise offerings were very light and the market worked up easily after the publication of the dry west ern belt forecast. Offerings were we'll absorbed and the market was very firm during the middle of the after noon on the continued good war news. More genreal showers were reported in the Oklahoma district, but the de- tailed reports showed only light pre- cipitation. The late buying was also promoted by the larger exports for the day. Liverpool was a fair buyer during the morning and there was little buying attributed to Southern mill interests.

MAKING PLANS FOR THE
 NEXT REGISTRATION

Little Rock, Aug 10.-The attorney generals office is already making pre- liminary plans for the next registra- ton, which is expected some time in September.
 The governor acting through the attorney general will have supervision of the work of the local boards, who will be called upon to direct and supervise the registration in their re spective jurisdictions.
 The actual registration will be ac- complished in the usual voting pre- cincts. The service of volunteer registrars is being requested. All persons who volunteer their services are expected to serve free of charge. A registration board of not more than five men, three registrars and two clerks, will be appointed in each town ship of the state.
 Attorney Gen. Lloyd England says that he is thoroughly convinced that there can be found in every township of the state patriotic men who will serve efficiently and without charge and who are men above reproach

ALLIES CAPTURE 17,O00 MEN, 200
 ID 300 CANNON
And British Are Reported to Have Taken ROSiereS-Fall of Chaulnes Would Menace Ger mans Greatly.

London, Aug. 9.-An official con- munique issued this evening says that 1000 prisoners and between 200 and 300 guns have been captured on the Somme-Ancre front
 An unconfirmed report reaching London says the British troops are now in Rosieres, the junction point of the north and south railroad line, mid way between Montdidier and Albert.
 Most of the prisoners and guns cap tured by the British were taken in the narrow triangle between the Rove and Peronne roads. British tanks ad- vanced with great rapidity up these roads. They were followed promptly by infantry and thousands of Ger mans within the triangle found them selves we'll behind the British line when the attack reached them. so they laid down their arms.
 The most of the captured guns were also gathered up in this triangle. which contained some of the best German gun positions in the whole front facing Amiens.
 Chaulnes junction, which is most important from the point of view of transport, is now the objective upon which the eyes of the allies are fixed. It is already under constant artillery fire and it's fall would be embarrass- ing to the Germans over wide area.
 There was very heavy fighting to- day around Simplify on the north bank of the Somme, where the Germans wer trying to hold up the British ad- vance by striking a determined blow at the advancing troops. The British did not succeed in holding all the ground they had gained in this dis trict, but meanwhile the advance con- tinues further southward and the sit uation around Chaulnes is becoming more dubious for the Germans.
 Canadian troops have captured War villers, about , l-2 miles south of Rosieres while the French have taken Arvillers, to the southwest of War villers and seven miles from Rove. The Germans reeaptured Chapilly, north of the Somme, by a strong counter attack today. The Canadians have taken the town of Beaufort. ? 1-2 miles southwest of Rosieres. The Australians are fighting further north along the Somme
 Small parties of Germans are re- ported to be still in Rosieres. three and one-half miles west of Chaulnes, but the British are all around them and their life as fighting men prob ably will be short.
