DIRECTORS DRAW |. PAY AND DEPART FOR THEIR HOMES
None of Men Who Refused to Fight Refused to Ac- cept Back Pay When
 Given Liberty
By Associated Press

Leavenworth, Kan, January '-4he release of 113 conscientious objeetors honorably discharged from the serv- ice by war department orders was pe- gun today at the disciplinary barracKs at Fort Leavenworth. Two, however, refused to leave, saying it was agalnst their religious scruples.
 The two men who refused to accept their liberties declared that such would not be for the glory of God. h. structions have been asked for rom Washington on their cases.
 The men were discharged in groups of 10 and were given their mileage, the same as that given to discharged
 combatants, to the point of their in- duction into the service. They also re- ceived suit of civilian clothes. From the point of induction the men are free to go wherever they desire. It was said some of the men had be- tween s4OO and $500 awaiting them in the form of back pay and allotments. Their homes are in all parts of the country. As the men drew up before the desk where the payments were made it was noted that none refused his share of the money.
 l The first few to sign their discharge papers scratched out the line bearing
 the caption Signature of soldier, and substituted .''child of God" Officers | thereafter insisted the Signature or l soldier" line stand.
 Few of the men needed the suits pro- vided upon orders from the war depart
 ment, as none of them wore the uni l form of the United States after being | drafted into the army. They preferred 1 today to wear home the suits they used
 while in the disciplinary barracks here.

Navy Retaining All
 Sailors Who Will 1. Remain in Service
By Associated Press

Paris, January 27.-American naval authorities here are doing everything pos- sible to avoid adding to the number or in the United States by re- taining in the service every able bodied sailor who can be induced to remain. Instructions have been given to dis charge no man who does not desire to leave and who has no prospect of em- ployment.
 Apprehension is expressed in naval circles that there will be a real shortaee of sailors for the navy on this slde or the Atlantic owing to the expectation that large number will be required to man the German merchant ships which the United States is to take over under the terms of the armistice. Thls IS the explanation given for the sudden change in orders to a number of men who were about to start for the United States, put are being held in French ports

HEFL|N ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION OF
 COTTON EXCHANGE
South Robbed of Millions by Unjust Speculation, De clares Representative
 From Alabama
Bv Associated Press


 Washington, January 27-Representa- tive Heflin of Alabama announced in the House today he had asked the depart ment of justice to investigate the New York cotton exchange. which he charged had violated the cotton futures act in driving down the price of cotton from 2 cents to 24 cents a pound.
 '.The south has been robbed of millions of dollars by this unjust speculation, MT. Heflin declared. At a time when the world demand for cotton is greater than ever before. the price has been forced down and down. No one is being benefited but the gamblers themselves. The spinners cannot obtain cotton at the present prices and the growers refuse to sell"
 NIT. Heflin said governors of southern states had appealed to planters to hold their cotton until the price goes back to 30 cents pound and that at the close of the present session of Congress rep resentatives from the south expected to E, through their states to urge that cot ton acreage be decreased.
 "The demand for cotton next year will be just as great as it is at present" he stated, "but so long as the price is ar bitrarily controlled by an exchange which defeats the laws of supply and demand, there is no reason why the crops should not be decreased"
 MT. Heflin said the New York exchange should be abolished and it's activities taken over by the New Orleans exchange, or some other exchange located in the cotton belt.

By Associated Press

Prospect of Dividing Prussia
 Overshadows the Elections
By Assnniated Prnss

. Berlin, Saturday, January 25.-Over- shadowing the issue of the Prussian state elections which are to be held next Sunday has suddenly, almost overnight, come the question of the division of Prussia into several states.
 The Vossische Zeitung recently report ed that the proposed national constitu- ton contemplated dividing Prussia into eight states
 The next day the official news agency issued a statement inspired by the gov ernment. declaring the newspapers state ment was without foundation. The pub lication the same day of the memorial accompanying the proposed constitution demonstrated, however, that while the denial was correct it was disingenuous, inasmuch as paragraph XI of the con stitution permits the formation of new states within the empire, without re- gard to former state boundaries.
 The conservatives, clerieals and nation al-liberals have seized on this paragraph as a campaign issue against the social ists and German democrats. The demo- crats however, declared Thursday that they were opposed to dividing up Prussia. Today it was announced that Hugo Preuss, minister of the interior, who is ar authority on the constitution and also democratic candidate for the assembly in Berlin probably would not accept the mandate if elected
 This leaves the socialists isolated as de
 lenders of the eventual division of Prus- sa and may concevably affect the re suit of the elections
