England to Regard Russian U-Boats As Hostile Craft
By Associated Press

London, October 1O.-AlI Russian submarines encountered on the high seas will be attacked on sight by British naval forces, &C., cording to q note sent by Earl Cur xon, British foreign secretary, to NJ. Tchitcherin, the Russian bolshe- vikf foreign minister, on October 7, which is published along with other correspondence recently ex- changed between Great Britain and soviet Russia.
 Earl Curzon points out that he previously sent n communication regarding n sumarine launched in the black sea, in which he said that in view of repeated declara- lions of leading members of the soviet government that that gov ernment considered itself in state of war with Great Britain and in view of the impossibiiity in these circumstances of waiting to ascertain whether the intentions Of the submarines controlled by the soviet government were hostile or not, there was no alternative but to issue orders to British ships to attack the submarine should 1t be encountered on the high seas.
 Upon hearing rumors that sub marines of the bOlShevik fleet had put to sea in the Battic, Earl Cur zon sent his note or October 2.

GOVERNORS AROUSED

Warning, which continue to be re- ceived by gin operators and business men, ordering them to close their es- tablishments have been brought off cially to the attention of authorities and the governors of several states have received appeals for protection.
 The Morgan county branch of the American Cotton Association, at a meeting yesterday in Albany, voted a reward of s200 for the conviction of any person guilty of such acts in Nor gan county.
 The night riders also have been ac- tive in Georgia and the receipt by gin operators at Toccoa of warnings that their plants would be destroyed if they di6 not close down for sixty days has resulted in the posting of armed guards about their premises with instructions to shoot to kill if an attempt is made to carry out the threat. The American Cotton Oil Company and the city counz cii of Ellayille jointly have offered D reward of 1900 for the arrest and con viction of persons who attempted Fri day night to fire the Ellaville gin operated by the corporation.
 GINS POSTED Tn Jasper county four gins and stores at Farrar and two gins at Broughtor have been posted the night riders threatening to destroy them if they dc not close until cotton reaches forty cents.
 Activities of the night riders ars widespread, warnings having been re- ceived also in Texas, Arkansas ant South Carolina. Several gins in Texa; have been destroyed after their owners had ignored warnings to close dowr and gins in Anderson county, Sout' Carolina, are operating with armed guards about the plants
 Authorities Investigating the situa- ton believe the threates and fires are the result of activities of local unor- ganized bands only, notwithstanding that warnings received in widespread localities bear the signature of "Ths Black 75," and '"The Citizens of Every Where'

FARMERS THREATENED

Atlanta, October 10-Farmers in northern Alabama, where several gin- Eeries and mercantile establishments have been fired recently have been warned that if they attempt to pick their cotton while the staple is selling for less than forty cents a pound it will be destroyed in the fields.
 This new development in the at tempts of night riders to keep cotton off the market while it is bringing less than what many planters term the cost of production, has been reported to Conrad w. Austin. Alabama law en- forcement officer, by State Fire Mar sbal William J. Williams, who is in vestigating fires in the Haneeville sec

 The first is regarded by the repub- Hcan managers as the most potential of all. So every statesman and orator sent out by the republican managers harps on the iniquities of the Wilson admin istration. Governor Cox has ignored most of the issues raised by the re- publicans. though every address deliv- cred by him makes courageous de- fense of the motives of MT. Wilson, a venture that never fails to provoke a genuine tribute to the democratic Pres

CHAFF IS SIFTED

The leaders of both parties agree that
 the chaff has been sifted from the cam
 paign and that the decision will be in
 fluenced by the popular view of the League of Nations issue. since that has survived the democratic test.
 Hate agains hope" is the way In- diana democrats describe it. "A rain
 bow against substance" is the repub-
 lican retort. Republicans assert that Harding has "solidified the party by his renunciation of the league project.
 The democratic confidence is that he
 has made the break we have been hoping for"
 That the rival managers attach the
 greatest importance to the border
 states" is manifest from the attention
 paid to them. Both candidates will de-
 vote lot of their time in trying to win
 the twelve electrol votes of Tennessee,
 the thirteen in Kentucky. fifteen in In-
 diana, eighteen in Missouri, twenty-four in Ohio and twenty-nine in Illinois Democratic hope of carrying Illinois is prompted by the factional row among the republicans. This has assumed the jaspect of a dog fight" and will un- doubtedly help democratic chances-the state ticket rather more than Governor Cox. The Thompson and Lowden fac 1 tions, while determined to exterminate each other have agreed Harding l electors.
 SITUATION IN ILLINOIS l Republican managers predict that Harding will carry the state by at least | 200. 900. The democrats express con. | fidence that J. Ham Lewis will defeat both Small, the Thompson republican candidate, and Harlan, independent. ! With one day left, the registration ir Illinois is S00.000, when a million war ! al fol iro Nff ici int ot ac by the democratic leaders to mean that

 1 Not since the days of Bryan have 1 such great crowds turned out to heal presidential candidates in Indiana as those that welcomed Cox yesterday. Tn only a few states is either party so well organized. Thomas Taggart demo- { cratic leader. and candidate for the Sen ate against Watson, the arch apostle of reactionism. told me last night that Indiana will be close and I think we will get it."
 WORKING IN INDIANA Both parties are working like Tro- jans and unquestionably spending a great deal of money, even for an In- diana campaign. The republican lead CTS admit that they are carrying a heavy burden in Watson. Each party has checked up the other pretty close | ly and both agree that the plurality for Harding or Cox will be ''around | 0,O00.'
 The socialist and farmer-labor party is conducting very active campaigns and worrying the leaders of the two major parties. In the Gary district, which is norminally republican, the farmer labor party has nominated To- cal candidates. but is not making a serious effort to procure votes for it's presidential ticket. The friendly re- gard for Governor Cox in labor cir cles seems to insure him large per- centage of the farmcr-iabor vote. On the other hand, socialist organiza- . tions in industrial centers in the state are not averse to trading local votes for ballots for Debs. which the repub- licans assert will injure the chances

TENNESSEE COMPLICATION

The republicans have marked Ten nessee for their own this time. The basis for their confidence that they will break into the solid south is predi- cated on the theory that the nineteenth amendment is likely to help them. They are confident that they will not only hold the two districts represented by the republicans, but defeat Congress- man Moon in the Chattanooga district. They also assert that Ali Taylor. can didate for governor. will defeat Gov ernor Roberts, because of the latter's espousal of the nineteenth amendment and the antagonism of labor due to ad- ministrative ventures.
 An impartial view of the Tennessee situation is that while the republicans have a chance of electing their state ticket and picking up republican con gressman, Governor Cox will carry the state by from 15.000 to 30. 900.

RARE PROBLEM IN CAMPAIGN

RARE PROBLEM IN CAMPAIGN
 The race problem in Indiana, as in Kentucky and Tennessee, is proving a source of anxiety to the democratic leaders. The republican leaders frank ly hope the negro vote will control the decision in not only Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, but in Tennessee. In Kentucky the republicans are making an intensive effort to lineup every eolored voter man and woman.
 At Louisville, which is republican most of the polling pfaces, even in the more exclusive residential districts have been established in barber shops operated by colored men, a circum- stance that is proving most offensive to white voters indexed as democrats
 Louisville itself shows an increase of 5000 in the republican vote. On the other hand the registration in fifty-one other Kentucky towns shows a democratic majority of 4,000 in the aggregate The white women are claimed to be overwhelmingly for Cox
 There is reason to accept as correct the statement of the democratic mana gers, that the Hert machine is spend ing a great deal of money in getting out the co1ored vote" Hert himself is confident that he will carry the state for Harding by at least 25, 900, or 15,000 less than the majority for Morrow last year. The. democratic leaders express confidence that "the white woman vote will give us Kentucky by at least 20.O00.
