Pine Bluff is going over the top" tomorrow and Thursday in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive.

 At a meeting held last evening at the Chamber of Commerce of various Liberty loan workers it Was ascer- tained that the vity and county is more than million dollars short of the quota. After discussing the question pro and con this measure was unan- imously adopted.
 Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock a committee of twenty-five assigned to each ward of the city will start out to secure about one and one quarter million dollars. By nightfall this amount will be pledged. This fact may sound far fetched by the Liberty Loan workers of Pine Bluff and }eT- ferson county are desperate,
 This city's anu cOuntys patriotism is not doubted. However, the negli- gence and carelessness 0 persons are vitally interested in the war is ap- parent for the reason that the quota has not been attained in this section. Many states, towns, villages and coun- ties turnout the United tates have re- ported lover subscribed.
 These workers tomorrow intend that Pine Bluffs and Jefferson coun- tvs patriotic records shall stand on par with the remainder of the conn- try. They have made it their busi- ness to keep this record and this record is to be made in enc days time.
 Every salesman of the one hundred tomorrow will be armed with all the "dope." which consists of volunteer subscriptions and others made since the two opening days. Armed with

The Ups and Downs of Sunsan Anthony's
 Suffrage Movement

Washington, Oct. 1.-When the same resolution, the draft Susan B. Anthony first advanced forty years ago, was last before the senate March l9, 1914, it also was defeated, B vot- ing for it's adoption and 34 in op- position. Senators Gore, Johnson of South Dakota; McCumber of North Dakota, Page of Vermont Pittman of Nevada, and Vardaman of Misissip- pi, then voted a&ainst it, but today they supported it. " The vote today came just before b o'clock, after one of the most bitter and spectacular contests in the sen ate i'll years.
 Today charges and counter charges of responsibility for the results were hurled back and forth with partisan politics again an issue.
 In a last effort to win over Demo- crats opposing the measure, follow ing his address to the senate yester- day, President Wilson today sent per- sonal letters to Senators Overman, if North Carolina; Shield of Tennessee; Bennett, of South Carolina; Martin, of Kentucky, and it was reported 0 few others earnestly seeking their support.
 All efforts today to amend the re- solution were futile.
 A motion by Chairman Jones to table the amendment if Senator Will liams of Mississippi, designed to limit the fronchise to white women, was carried, 61 to 22.
 The proposal of Senator Frelinghau sen of New Jersey, to require Ameri- can citizenship of women voters also was rejected, 50 to 33, while an amendment by Senator Fletcher of Florida, designed to apply the reso- lution's prohibition against the ab- judgement of franchise because of sex to the federal government only, was lost, GA to IT.
 Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the National Woman's Party, issued this statement on the vote:
 "This defeat is a temporary de- feat.
 "The vote of the United States Sen ate today, we are convinced, will be reversed before this congress ends"
 Mrs. James w. Wadsworth, presi dent of the National Association op- posed to woman suffrage, issued a statement saying:
 "Our faith in the wisdom and in- tegrity of the United States senate is justified.
 "The principal of self preserva- tion,' the constitutional right of each state to settle this question for itself by popular vote, has triumphed over every consideration of political 'poli- cy.'" Chairman Jones announced he would not call up his motion for re-cinsid eration until he is certoin of a majori ty.
 "The fact that we needed only two votes shows that the country favors the resolution," he said. The race question again figured prominently in the closing discussion, Senator Williams, of Mississippi, SUD- porting his amendment to limit the resolutions franchise rights to white women, declaring that with the amendment, the resolution threatNhed white nomination in the south

fore being listed as available.
Difficulties which have been met

the result of lack of organization

furnishing information relative
thereto. The work is now organized

Greeks in Turkish Territory.

Professor Andreade of the Univer-
sity of Athens, who is Il specialist on
the extent of Greek citizenship beyond
the Greek frontiers-in Macedonia
and the other Balkans, IN Turkey,
Syria and Asia MinOr-pointed out the
great predominance of the Greeks in
the regions TO be evacuated by the
Turks if they are to leave Europe.
The whole vilayet, or province, of
Adrianople, extending from the Bal
kanS down to COnstantinOple, he de-
clared, is as much Greek as it is Turk
and with the Turks out it is practical
" all Greek. Even ConstantinOple,"
he said, ''is a Greek city-the largest
of Greek cities-with a population of
$4,000 Greeks. That gives an idea of
the extent of Greek citizenship in all
this section down to the straits, which
will have to be considered on the basis
of nationality and race, when the Turk
leaves Europe.
