 IN LABOR SURVEY
Several Thousand Men Give Data on Selves to
 Government.

The manpower of Pine Bluff regis tered yesterday upon request of the department of labor thru local fed eral agents and the Chamber of Com- merce.
 Practically every man between the ages of IS and 45 answered the call and went to the various schools and gave the desired information.
 Business men and bankers as well as tradesmen, skilled workmen and laborers told Uncle Sam what they are doing and whether they were willing to enter some kind of war work.
 At the request Of Secretary E. B. Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce, Supt. Junius Jordan of the school en. listed nearly all the public school teachers in the city as registrars and from to 9 p. m. they filled out the blanks at the schools.
 The "questionairres" will be turned over to the local federal labor agents and those men who expressed a will ingness to enter the employ of wal plant may be called soon.
 Not a few men called uD various officials and asked if it was the reg istration under the new draft law, changing the ages from IS to 45, but yesterdays registration had no con- nection with military service.

With the American Army on the Vesle, Aug. 15.--(By The Associated Press.)-The sustained pressure by the French and the Americans on the line between Soissons and Rheims ap- peared today to be having the expect ed result.
 Information from behind the Ger. man front, obtained by observers showed the withdrawal of one or two enemy divisions. In addition the coun- the actions of the Germans have been notably reduced of late.
 Moreover, the enemy's reply to the American guns, which have never ceased their punishment, has been appreciably less prompt, and the fall ing off in the enemy's aerial activi- ties has been especially noticeable.

 COTTON EXCHANGE
Is Characterised as Legal Gambling House Under
 U. s. Supervision"

Boston, August b. Cotton buyers and mill owners urged the necessity for government control of the New York cotton exchange and the elimin- ation of speculation of a purely gam bling nature at a hearing held here today by the bureau of markets of the department of agriculture Speakers declared that the correct labelling of cotton bales would be of greatest help to both mill men and growers.
 William F. Garcelon, speaking for the ArkWright club, an association of cotton manufacturers, Charles N. Brush, secretary of the New England Cotton Buyers association and others discussed delays in transportation.
 Mills sometimes obliged to wait six months or more for cotton from points where the deliveries should be made in six weeks.
 The New York exchange was called "a legalized gambling house, conduct ed under government supervision" by George H. Waring, secretary of the Fall River Cotton Buyers association.
 There is no excuse for cotton jumping from six to ten cents within a few weeks" he added.

 The fighting on the Somme- -Oise battle front still continues of a minor character compared with that of the early part of the week, when the Germans reinforced their line and stopped the eastward sweep of the allied forces.
 Nevertheless, the British and French again have been able to gain ground on two important sectors the British short distance northwest of Rove, where they took the villages of Damery and Parvillers, and the French on the southern wing of the battle front, where they have captur- ed two farms in the process of clear ing the hilly and wooded district around Lassigny of the enemy. German Retreat Continues. North of the Somme between Albert and Arras the Germans are continu- ing to fall back, and the British aTc keeping in close contact with them. Thus far the Germans have definite. ly given up the towns of Beaumont Hamel, Serre, Bucuoy and PuisieuX- Au-Mont, and at several points have crossed the Ancre river, with the Brit ish followed closely on their trail. No official explanation has yet been advanced of the retrograde movement of the Germans over this front, but it is not all unlikely that the operations on the Somme front and the haNassing' tactics the British have recently employed make the en
 emy desirious of establishing him self on new groun eastward, with the Ancre barrier between him and his foes.
