BANKING MORE MONEY.

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-A statement just compiled by w. T. Maxwell, state bank commissioner, shows con siderable increase in the number of bank accounts in Arkansas. One year ago there were 345,057 deposi- tors in the state banks, of which there are 3s6; and for the cores bonding period of June 20, 1920 there were 389,38S depositors. This does not include the depositors in the S1 national banks. These depositors had in June 1919 total of $65, JOS, 912.81 on deposit, which had in- creased for the corresponding per iod this year to $73,755,646.33. Sta tistics compiled by the comptroller of the treasury. show that the S1 na- tional banks of the state carry all most half the volume of deposits as that carried by the state banks. 1t is evident therefore, that there is on deposit in all the banks of Arkan- sas, not less than $125, 100000.

TURK NATIONALS
 GIVING ORDERS TO
 BANDS OF CHETES
American Relief Workers Are Robbed by Commands
 of NatiOnalists
The Associated Press.

The ASSOclated freSS.
 Constantinople, Sept. Ropber bands of Chetes, who have for months made travel in Syria unsafe and have held up American relief workers twice within 10 days, are operating under the orders of Turk ish nationalists and of the Arab gov ernment, according to information re- ceived by Dr. R. A. Lambert, direc- tor of Near East Relief activities at Aleppo. Dr. Lambertsays he has re- ceived affidavits to support this charge. He believes it was one of these bands that last February rnur- dered two American Young Mems Christian Association secretaries near Aintab.
 The circumstances which lead to these conclusions are described by Near East Relief agents as follows:
 The first holdup of Americans oc- |curred in June when two motor trucks in charge of John o. Brian, relief worker, that were carrying 19 Ar menians was halted between Ajintab and Kills.
 Though Brian and all American property were not molested, the Ar menian men and all of their baggage were taken off before the trucks were allowed to proceed. Only ,Brian's repeated pleading saved the women from similar fate. The con voy continued it's way to Aleppo af- ter the men were removed. While relief officials were negotiating for release of the Armenians, the prs oners were hastily, set free by ord krs of the Arab authorities at AL eppo.
 Meeting the leader of the bandits in Aleppo later, Brian found him wearing the uniform of an officer of the army of Prince Teisal, who was elected king of Syria. The Chetes expressed to Brian feeling of firm | friendship for the Americans and the British but bitter hatred of the French and Armenians.
 | On making the same trip little more than a week later, Brian was again stopped, this time on Turkish territory, by Chetes under the com mand of young Turkish officer, who angrily refused to believe Brian's statement that he was an American and compelled him to walk for more than three hours to the headquarters | of the commander of the Turkish nationalist forces in that region.
 This officer apologized for the de lay that his men had caused Brian declaring it was necessary however because the French had used Amer ican flags on their ammunltlor trucks. Another officer that Briar talked to wanted to know why tho Americans did not drive the French out of the country. He said ths Turks let the French come in because of President Wilson's assurances ane complained that the president hat forgotten all about them.

Open Mongolia
 to Foreign Trade
The Associated Press.

The Associated Press.
 Urga, Mongolia, Sept. 11.-"Mon- golia, restored as an integral part of the Chinese republic, will soon be opened to foreign commerce with equal opportunities to all nations" said General Hsu-Shu,C Chen, com mander of China's frontier defense forces in Mongolia, to The Associated Press correspondent, en route to Si- Iberia through Urga.
 It was General Hsu-Shu-Chen's army of 10000 men marching 700 miles across the Gobi Desert in the winter of 1918-1919 which occupied Urga and put an end to the political power of the Buddhist priests whose lender, termed "the Living God,n then ruled Monoglia as an autono- nous state.
 "All Mongolian Russian treaties granting special privileges to Rus sians in Mongolia, have been abro- rated," continued Little Hsu," as he is familiarly called to distinguish him from President Hsu. "Kiachta, although Siberian city, is still gar risoned by Chinese troops because Kolchak's representatives asked the Chinese to protect them from the reds lid the date of withdrawal has not 1st been decided"
 General Hsu stated that China was not at all interested in the inter- Ill affairs of Russia and that Rus sians taking refuge in China were m treated alike regardless of their bolitical affiliations, subject only to Chinese law. He added that all Chi hese troops would eventually be with drawn from Russian territory but Tint substantial garrison would be aaintained on the Mongolian border.

Declares c. O.. F. Speakers Try to Belittle Patriotism

SA YS OLD PARTY
 WANTS NEW FLAG
Republican Chairman's Speech In- suit to Many Millions in U. s.
 Claims Demo Nominee

Bangor, Maine, September H. Charging that the republicans were trying to make it appear that demo- cSRts were not good Americans and ptesident, has made reply to as- Stars and Stripes, Franklin D. Roose welt; democratic candidate for vice. president, replied here tonight to as- sertions of Will H. Hays, republican national chairman, in his Augusta, Maine, speech last month.
 Referring to the text of Mir. Hays address, which was entitled Under Which Flag" MT. Roosevelt said the republican chairman had "offered 8 deliberate insult to many millions, probably the majority of our citi- xens, and he was guilty not only of bad taste but of poor political judg- nent."
 The overwhelming majority of vot- ers, he said, are in every way loyal and will resent any attempt by one group of leaders to take out an "ex- elusive patent" on our flag.
 "To claim that one party doctrine is the only American one is to infer that those who belong to another party faith are un-American. That sort of campaigning ought not to be excused even in the heat of an election"
 Mr. Roosevelt declared he would s6e the first to insist that republi- ems, rank and file, are just as sin cprely proud of our country and our far as democrats are" MT. Hays aaad his party differed," however, he aid, lin the big conception of the great purpose for which our, flag is the symbol"
 The same gentleman has used with inaccurate, but deliberate care lessness, the word 'internationalism. With evident design he has sought tb convey the impression that peo- rle who believe in the league of na- < tiOns are 'Internationalists in the S1nse used by certain radical groups who do not believe in nations at all or who seek super-government in place of true national governments For political purposes, he would reason that one who seeks interna- 4ional peace and international agree ments and international justice is 3 tpefeby an international red
 Cites Other Nations.
 aThe whole falsity of this posi-. tf6n is shown by asking the simple < d5aestion of whether the thirty seven n[tions who have already joined the $ f&aeue of nations have given up theil 6Wn sovereignty, their own constitu. { onal rights, their own flags? Even Swjtzerlandj most jealous of inde- GAndence and wary of alliances, has Voted by popular referendum to join fhe league.
 ALong before 1914, American states 1len advocated league of nations Some like President Taft, favored l. one that frankly called itself lea rue to enforce peace. Yet he was not called traitor or follower o1 ,internationalism.
 4We had seen the failure of the < Hague Tribunal to prevent wars. Wt X had seen, indeed, an increase in wars X and in the preparations for wars. The other nations were we'll aware that the American flag carried new message of hope, that it represented great people opposed to aggres sion and willing to change the ex isting conditions of mistrust and o1 competitive armament.

State House Notes
(By Special Ccrrespondent)


 The contest for the speakership of the 43rd General Assembly begins to assume as interesting proportions as did the gubernatorial contest in the recent primaries. New candidates are developing every few days. Already the avowed candidates for the office are Harvey Parnell of Chcot, Joe Joiner of Columbia, R. 5. Dickson of Lafayette, l.. c. Caudle of Sebastian and Tom A. Hill of Jefferson. Oth- CTS who are considered as possible entries are T. c. lobe of Hempstead Henry Thane of Desha, J. c. Brook field of Cross, Wilson Cardwell of Washington and R. K. Mason of Qua chita.
 Speaking of old members of next House, the Honorable J. M. Kelso better known as "Uncle Jake" one of the two representatives elect from Columbia county, deserves especial notice. It is not probable that there is any member of the House older in years and public experience than "Uncle Jack" He was S2 years old August 2, and has the distinction of having served in the House in 1908. 1S years ago. He insists that he is no older now than he was in that his toric session and that he can more than hold his own with the younger fellows of enc third his age. He is an ex-confederate veteran and was colonel in command of regimen during the civil war. He has been engaged in active practice of law a. Magnolia since 1860.
 Officials connected with the prohi- bition enforcement act agree that the kitchen still is one of the greatest menaces in the country today in the realization of the National Prohibit tion Amendment It is said that the condition is no worse in Arkansas than in any other state, but that it is serious enough here to warrant great concern on the part of the authori- ties. It is said that. in many locali- ities the local plumbers devote practically their entire time to the manufacture of private plants. in the kitchens and cellers of bibulous peo- pie, who imagine that they must have that which the law has pronounced unlawful. Five gallon can and the coil out of patent heater is enough to furnish the ordinary drinker with enough poison to kill a regiment There is also pernicious> propaganda benig circulated about the manufac- ture of intoxicants by the use of raisins and yeast. These simple de- vices are easily concealed and can be readily destroyed when officers ap- pear on the scene, and yet from these private plants is secured some of the vilest connections that ever passed under the guise of beverages.
 Monday, September 20, is to be Cotton Day, throughout the South On that day all farmers organiza- tions, commercial clubs and other civic organizations are to be asked to feature the importance of adopt ing decisive measures to insure a reasonable price for cotton and to bring about conditions more favor able to the marketing of the South's staple crop.
 This plan was agreed upon by the cotton conference held last week at Montgomery, Alabama attended by
