will reach an understanding as to the
admission of delegates.
The Czecho- Slovak republic already
has been recognized by these nations
Siberia, Finland and Ukraine, Esthonia
and numerous other fragments of Rus
sia are seeking recognition.
There will be applications also from
numerous small states, some existing
before the war and others resulting
from the collapse of Austria and Tur-
key.
In this category are the Zionists Of
Palestine, Arabs, Armenians, Georgi.
ans and small governments in N[esopO-
tamia to which the British and French
governments already have promised
recognition or protection.
1t Is expected that the leading pow
ers will reach preliminary agreement
regarding the disposition to be made
Of these claimants, but this will be sub
ject to the approval of the general con-
ference when it is assembled.

Lake Erie railroad has brought suit
against Louis Kleitz, formerly an en-

seeks to recover $3O,5S5.41 damages as
a result of a wreck alleged to have
been due to the engineman's negli-
gence. This is the first time in the
legal history of the United States that
a railroad has sued an employee for
damages on the ground named in the
KleitZ case. KleitZ was engineman Of
a train running between Pittsburgh
and Youngstown, which on December

two men. The railroad company al
leges Kleitz ran past an automatic
block, which signaled him to proceed
with caution and with his engine under
full control. Kleitz is said to own
property worth much more than the
amount involved in the suit.

WOMEN ARE FACTOR
 IN COMING ELECTION
NEW VOTERS WILL SUPPORT MEN AND MEASURES THAT STAND FOR PROGRESS AND PURITY.

Little Rock, May 20-There are two big drives on this week-one is the great Red Cross drive for the raising of a second fund to carry on the work of an organization that has we'll been called the symbol of Gods mercy.
 The other drive is the final week s campaign for the candidates for var ious offices, whose fate will be placed in the hands of the sovereign voters next Tuesday, the 18th.
 "A campaign that opened with very little interest and great indifference has developed into some rather sen- sational phases at the very last Personalities have not been wholly absent and in some instances viru- lent abuse and billingsgate have characterized the campaigns of cer. tain candidates.

women will exercise the right oi suffrage-whcn a man or woman goes to the polls to vote he or she must take his or her poll tax re- ceipt to exhibit to the judges. The law ,rovides for only three classes of people who may vote:
 Those who exhibit poll tax re- ceipts.
 Those who have become of age since the last time for the assess ment of taxes.
 Those whose names appear on the printed list of those having paid their poll taxes.
 The time for the payment of poll taxes does not expire until July 1, therefore printed lists of those who are qualified for this election will not be available.
 Therefore, those wLo desire to vote should not forget their poll tax re- ceipts.
 While there is some uncertaii.t- as to the woman vote, now L factor for the first time in state election. it can be uncertain in only individual cases.
 There can be no doubt as to how they will vote on the broad ques- tions of public policy--and for that reason, the willy candidate has been cozening the new voter with all the arts and blandishments they must

One feature of this campaign has appealed to the readers of the news papers-advertising space has been more freely used by the candidates than usual. This has been particu- larly true in Pulaski county, where there is an average of four candi- dates for each office. It has been necessary for them to get newspaper publicity in order to keep before the people. The candidates have been working very hard. The fact that all Pulaski county officials have been put on a salary basis does not seem to have deterred them from running-in fact, there are more candidates out this time than usual, and there are only two county offic- ials unopposed.
 The approaching primary is the first that is to be held under the Brundidge primary law, for the state, and the results will be watched with interest. There are several radical changes that may be a little confusing at first. but the people will soon adjust themselves to the requirements of the law probably by the time the Legisla- ture and Co., stitutional Convention finish revisinr it.

Cotton Restrictions Are
Removed as Committee
OF War Board Quits

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-All gov
crnment regulation affecting raw
cotton ended Friday with the disso-
luton of the cotton distribution
committee of the war industries
board.
While there was no announcement
either by Chairman Charles J.
Brand. of the committee. or by
Chairman Baruch, of the war indus
tries board, as to the considerations
which led to the decision to abolish
the committee, it was understood that
officials no longer regarded it as nee
essary TO control distribution now
that the world markets have been
reoDcned with the ending of the war
The committee appointed by PTesi-
dent Wilson to investigate the gener-
al cotton situation was dissolved sew
eral weeks ago after it had reported
TO the president that there was nc
necessity for fixing a price for the
various grades of raw cotton.
1t also was announced that maxi
mum prices in cotton fabrics fixed by
the war industries board will be al
lowed to expire December 81, and
will not be renewed.
Another action by the government
today affecting cotton was the allo-
cation by the shipping board of two
ships of 1900 tons for the cotton@
carrying trade. The Kirkle. of 9.4oC
tons, was ordered to Galveston to
load cotton for England. and the
Challenger. II 500 tons. was sent tC
New Orleans to load also for Eng
