Little Rock, Sept. S.-Miss Alma Futrall, superintendent of Lee coun- ty. and T. L. Haynes, superintend- ent of Conway county, yesterday re- ported every teacher of those coun- ties enrolled in the Arkansas Edu- cational Association, This brings the total number of 100 per cent counties to 12, according to James J. Harrison. Director of the Forward Education Movement.
 Miss Futrall, sister of President J. c. Futrall of the State University is the second woman superintendent to enroll every teacher Miss Lillie Bryant of Prairie county having reached the goal ten days ago.
 Every indication points to the enrolment of every teacher in the state," said MT. Harrison. While such an achievement would attract national attention, it's chief signifi- canoes is in reflecting the attitude of the teachers toward the task of lifting Arkansas from 46th posi- tion in educational rank.

THE MONROE
 DOCTRINE IS
 DISCUSSED
Matter Is Brought Into Cs- neva Assembly by Bolivia No Decision is Reach. ed. s s sx.A

Geneva, Sept s.-The Monroe Doc Urine and the competency of the League of Nations in American qucs- tions, and in cases where one party to treaty asks investigation to se- cure revision, where the principal subjects of discussion in and out of the Assembly of the league yester- day. The discussions were provoked by the demand of Bolivia that the Assembly put on tho agsnda the proposed revision of the treaty of 1904 between Chile and Bolivia whereby the latter teded to Chile the provinces of Taca and Africa. The debate began at tho morning session of the Assembly despite ef- forts to keep the subject off the floor by the league leaders, who feared that a serious situation might be created by such debate. A can vass of the principal delegations shows that large majority of the Assembly is against precedent that the league may interfere to revise treaties, particularly treaties of peace.
 At the same time there is 2 strong feeling that it is dangerous Tor the prestige of the league not to be able to consider questions such as raised by Bolivia in which there are fea- lures of tho case that in the opinion of some of the delegates would seem to justify arbitration. Beside, most of the delegates arc disclincd to welcome at, this time question in which the Monroe Doctrine is in- voked ill manner, which virtually calls for an interpretation of the leagues competency in matters sup- posed to be covered by. that doc urine.
 Augustni Edwards, representing Chile, argued that Taca-Arica was purely an American affair and that the Monroe Doctrine applied in no sense to European states nor could the League of Nations Interfere in such manner.
 Senor Armayo. for HoMvia, in- formed tho Associated Press that the chancellory of the United States had been consulted regarding Boliviais application to the league before 1t was submitted and had. decided that mediation by the league was not in- with tho Monroe Doctrine.
 Arthur J. Balfour of Great Brit ain, Lord Robert Cecil, who repro. sents South Africa and President Van Karnebeek failed to keep tho debate off the floor; they succeeded only in securing the consent of the Bolivian and Chilean aeleGates to let the matter rest after the presents tion of their cases until tho delega- tions should be able to study the documents. The question will come up again unless Bolivia withdraws its request
 The situation in which an issue unsatisfactory to either adversary will put the league has revived speculation as to the proposed modi- fications of the covenant with pro- vision to regional leagues with laison between them. This plan, proposed by MT. Beech of the Czecho-S -SlOvakia, will come up at an early date.

SPOT COTTON IS
 STILL GOOD PRICE

Little Rock, Sept. S.-Contrary ton follows futures, local cotton maintained fairly equal price here yesterday. despite the break in the futures market. Local cotton men titude that the break was only to be expected after the rapid advance.
 They expect q nervous market for a few days and believe that the price may even go lower in the process of washing out" but that within the next week or 10 days there will be a level, steady, work able market
 Trade in spot cotton before the break yesterday was heavy. 1,040 bales being sold in Little Rock alone. It is estimated that the selling in other Arkansas markets would raise the figure three or four times. Yes terday morning good cotton brought 20 cents or better, some selling as high as 22 cents.
 Sales, as well as price, fell off after the break. Buyers were timid, and those who had cotton to sell were not eager to sell at the lower price of IS to 19 cents. However, reports that spot cotton owners were holding on to their cotton at all events do not appear to be entirely true. Cotton buyers said yesterday afternoon that some dealers were even more anxious to sell after the break than before.

WHY AUSTRIANS LOST
Italian Officer in Disguise Learns
 Hour of Great Offensive.

St. Louis. Sept S.-During the stay in St. Louis Saturday of Gen Pietra Badoglio, the Italian war hero, the following story was related by Capt. Carlos Huntington, the generals aid and interpreter:
 Tn June, 1918, the Austrians made their second great attempt to cross the river Piate This at tempt was frustrated when, much to their surprise. one hour before their attack was to begin we opened with terrific bombardment on their lines. To this day l suppose the Austrian high command does not know how we timed that bar rage so well. The war is over and now it is no harm to tell.
 "A month earlier an Italian off cer whose home was behind the Austrian lines was dressed in peasant clothing and taken by airplane to a point in the Austrians' rear. He had some carrier pigeons. He made HIS way ,to HIS oWh iolue anu louHu an Austrian division commander quartered there. He was pressed into service as a servant for the Austrians, serving their meals and cleaning their rooms, which, is say, happened to be in his own home
 While dusting the generals room one day he saw general order for attack, which was to be started in fortnight It gave the exact hour. He copied the order, put it on one of his pigeons and when the Aus trians started were ready for them in fact, just a little ahead. That was the turning point on the front. We stopped them then and four months later we beat them"
