EXPECT SHEPPARD
 VOLUNTEERS WILL
 EXCEED ALL HOPES
Many More Than 250,0O0 Called For Are Ea-
 rolled in Drive.

Washington Feb. 21.-Preliminary estimates of the results of the cam paign to enroll 250,000 snip workers show that the number sought will be much exceeded and that thousands, of union men have joined without re- strictiOn against working with unor- ganized workers.
 The fact that no restrictions have been imposed by the men in their willingness to work, makes officials of the department of labor confident that employees vii meet ell fair de mands. Thousands of union men have signified their readiness to report at the ship yards when needed, to work side by side with all others who may be qualified, whether union members or not. The only thing asked and that has already been granted by the shipping board, is that union organ izers be given full liberty to enroll new men in the union if they desire to join. It is expected that adequate housing facilities will be provided un- der the governments program.
 Wages have not proved stumbling block to enrolment of ship builders. The building trades council of New York, in pledging it's 120,000 members to ship yard services if needed, said the metropolitan scale should be giv- en instead of the ship yard scale, but the change was not made 6 condition of work.
 The iron trades reported readiness to work at any wage necessary to bringing victory in the war.
 Owing to slackening of most cras, ses of building, men enrolled have been largely experienced workers capable of drawing the highest wages for the fastest and most thorough work. ...

WIDESPREAD ARMY
 CLOTHING GRAFT
 CHARGED BY ]. s.
Federal Grand Jury Indicts Eleven Men on Alleged
 Profiteering.

New York, Feb. 21-An alleged countrywide plot involving illegal pro- fiteering in army clothes at expense of the government was disclosed here today with the indictment by the fed eral grand jury of eleven emn, one a clerk in the quartermaster's depart ment of the army, on charges of fraud.
 Investigation which will extend to other cities. federal authorities here believe, will show the government has suffered to the extent of $5,00000O but at the same time it was stated the indictments today would serve to terminate further conspiring and save the government from millions more in losses.
 Eight of the defendants are manu- facturers of army uniforms.
 Profiteering is made possible, it was explained, by methods in which the cloth is cut. From material which the government estimated would pro- vide dozen uniforms, the manufac- ,eurers would cut ten or less, and the excess cloth, known to the trade as Clippings" would be re-sold.
 Some of the defendants, Lieutenant George B. Barnitz, fthe New York police force said, represented to the government that their clippings amounted to three per cent, whereas, actually they amounted to eight per cent.
 Owing to the alleged activity of a civilian clerk in the army in conec- tion with the purported plot it was easy for concealment to be effected So bold were some of the defendants, according to Investigators that bolts of stolen cloth were displayed openly in windows in the jobbing district. Clippings" were sold to manufac- turers in Chicago. St. Louis and Green vile, Ills., and large quantities of the cloth have been recovered at those places, it was announced. The manufacturers purchased innocently and will not be prosecuted. Clothing houses in other western cities also have obtained cloth not knowing it was stolen, the Investigators said, and this has not yet been recovered.

R. R. BILL 10 bt FOLLOWED BY Us.
 0WNfRSHIP.- P.-LEWIS
Senator Believes Control of Utilities Issue of Next
 Campaign.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Senator Lewis of Illinois in the senate today, declar- ed the administration railroad bill is a forerunner of government control over various public utilities and predic- ted that the question would be great domestic issue in the next presidential campaign.
 "Let us not deceive ourselves as to the meaning of this measure" Senator Lewis declared "This is the begin ming of the government taking the railroads as government agency The roads will never be permitted to return to the former state of personal control for private benefit. At the same time this country takes over the railroads it will take the telegraph and telephone privileges and then the products for fuel, particularly the lands of coal and oil, and put these under government direction.
 "All agencies of this nature in this republic, necessary to the public well fare of man, will be taken by the gov ernment as a necessary protection of the republic"
 The railroads Senator Lewis de- clared, confessed their inability to meet the situation and by surrender ing to the government admitted that the one power capable to carry on the work under the existing conditions was the government itself.
 The government now conducts the roads and directs them as the proof of it's power and ability to do so," he as serted. Private ownership of rail- roads failed us for the purpose of sending supplies to ships or for trans portation of soldiers for foreign ser vice. What would be the calamity under private ownership if enemies were at our gates and in possession of our country?
 "Let us announce that the United States is government and shall as .sume governmental responsibilities in protecting all public agencies of hu- man welfare from being a monopoly of private pillage."
 If this is done, Senator Lewis said any Bolsheviki uprising in the United States will be avoided.

Protest Against Fixing of
 Cotton Seed Prices at $71.OO Per Ton.

Resolutions protesting against the food administrators orders fixing a price of $71 per ton for cotton seed, permitting the oil mills to increase the price of their products, limiting the profit of ginners on seed to $2 per ton, and declaring Git is unfair and unjust to take from the farmers $11 to $14 on each ton of seed, which means at least $20,O00,000 loss to us this sea son, and no one benefited 5y this re- duction in price save the cotton cil miljs," have been sent to Hamp Will hams, state food administrator? Sen ators Robinson and Kirby, Congres ss- nan Taylor and every other member of the Arkansas delegation in congress by the Jefefrson-Lncoln Cotton Grow ton association. - To the members of congress and the food administration was sent also copies of the following resolution: "Be it resolved by the Jefferson and Lincoln Cotton Growers association, that we do hereby protest against any attempt on the part of the government to fix prices on cotton, and the secre- tary hereof is ordered to notify our Representatives of the action of the association, so that we may be fairly represented in presenting the cost of production in the event of any at tempt to fix prices."
 Senator Robinson and Congressman Wmgc have written Secretary George Graham of the local association that they will oppose efforts if action is disapproved by the associations. 1 The resolutions were adoDtcd at a joint meeting recently of committees representing the Scott's Growers and the Jefferson-Lincoln associations, and Secretary Graham has sent cop ! ies to the Southeast Arkansas assccia- 1 tion, which is expected to take similar action.

MAURICE SEES
 NO SIGNS OF
 HUN OFFENSIVE
E r t i S h Directors State ment Says No Indication
 of German Drive Soon.

London, Feb. 21.-Maj. Gen. F. B.. Maurice. chief director of military op- erations at the British war office, said yesterday there had been no develop ments on the western front during the last fortnight to indicate that the eGr- man offensive was near. One of the most satisfactory features of the work of the two weeks in the west had been the continued British successes in the air, which had great importance as the preliminary to any battle. General Maurice added taht the British air pre- dominance hampered the enemy trem- endously in gaining information which was required by him before the com- ,mencement of any important battle. With regard to Palestine General Maurice said the developments of the past week offred a promising field for further development.
 General Allenby," he added, "has advanced in the direction of Jericho, and now stands on the last main ridge overlooking the valley of the River Jordan" |{.
 Since January r. General Maurice said, the Germans have carried out five raids on England, of which two were abortive. During the same per- iod the British carried out 13 raids in- to Germany, all of which had definite results.
 Discussing efforts of the Germans to have the Geneva convention arrange a discontinuance of the use of poison ous gas, General Maurice asserted that the entente would be glad to give up this gas if it were possible to get any guarantee that Germany would be bound by any agreement to do like wise.
