WASHINGTON. 1>, C , Oct. 2.—De-
terioration during September over al-
most the entire cotton belt caused a
Iosh of 4S2.000 bales in the prospec-
tive production of cotton, and leaves
the 1917 crop at 12,017,000 equivalent
500-pound bates. The department of
agriculture In its final condition re-
port of the season today 'announced a
decline of 7.9 points in cotton's condi-
tion during the month, caused princi-
pally by boll worms and weevils. Cool
weather, drouth, shedding, wilt, blight,
lack of potash in fertiliser, and in the
extreme eastern belt, storm damage
also caused loss ]>amago from the re-
cent West Indian hurricane was small,
the affected area being comparatively
until I and the crop there largely
licked.
Picking of cotton is general and is
ieing pushed except in the northern
•art of the belt, the department of
.griculture reported.
"There is complaint," it says, "of a
carcity of pickers in many sections,
'his is attributed to a migration of
legro farm hands during the winter
,nd spring, the volunteering and
.election of men for military duty,
rantonment work and the heavy de-
nands for labor in the sawmills, cot-
,on in factories and kindred industries
hroughout the South. With favorable
weather at prevailing prices fur the
staple, no cotton will go to waste m
the field this year.
"Jri northern and eastern Texas.
Oklahoma and Arkansas, boll worms
caused serious damage." the report
says.
"In the entire weevil-infected area,
now embracing all or portions of the
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ala-
bama, Florida and Georgia, great
damage resulted from weevil activity.
K,litis fell over much of the drouth
stricken section of Texas and plant
growth was stimulated but a matured
top crop in that section is extremely
doubtful. Much of the crop along the
northern border of cotton production
will require a late frost to reach full
maturity."

Washington, I>. C„ Oct. 2.—Re-
vival of the full grade of general Is
planned by the war department to
provide suitable rank for Major
General John J. Pershing, com-
manding the American expedition-
My forces in France. It was learned
tonight that Secretary linker al-
ready lias submitted the dciuirt-
ment's program which Includes a
provision for title of general to lie
held by the officer serving as chief
of staff nad the making of several
lieuteuant generals to command
corps under Genera! Pershing, to
the senate military committee and
that legislation carrying tt into ef-
fect is to be pressed for prompt pas-
sage when congress reconvenes in
December. Hut four American
.•rmy officers have borne the title
of general — Washington, Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan—and only a
few have been lieutenant-general.
Since General Sheridan in tNKX,
rank of general lias been extinct.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The third
contingent of national army men will
begin moving tomorrow to ttie sixteen
cantonments where approximately one
half of the 687,000 selected men al-
ready have been mobilized. Quotas
now ready to leave home vary greatly,
tanging from 17 to 40 per cent of the
full state quotas, with a general aver-
age of between 20 and 25 per cent.
Modification of previous njuota plans
were necessary because of the condi-
tion^ at the cantu|nment>s and the
availability of equipment. Some can-
tonments are much further advanced
than others and can accommodate a
larger percentage of men.
Definite figures are lacking as to the
number of men to be transferred to
the national guard, avaiation service,
medical corps or other branches of the
army that will have to be filled up to
war strength. It is certain, however,
that the men remaining at the camps
will not be sufficient to fill the sixteen
national divisions to full strength.
Regarding Second ( till.
Secretary liaker indicated today
that no decision had been reached as
to when a second call will be made.
There are many deficiencies to be
filled up in the first draft, physical ex-
amination of the selected men by army
doctors at the camps having resulted
in many rejections. There appears to
be some evidence of undue leniency by
the civilian doctors probably due
largely to the desire of local boards
to make a good showing in prompt
filling of their quotas.
Decision of the war department on
the suggestion that the remaining
7,000,000 registered men be examined
Immediately and classified for service
in order that they may have knowl-
edge of when to expect a call and ar-
range their affairs accordingly a wait::
action by congress on the war defic-
iency bill. Funds to carry out the pro-
ject are contained in that measure.
■Secretary itak'T s a i(1 today that of
some thirty-five governors who had
been asked if they believed it wise
and expedient to proceed with the ex-
amination of all registered men. only
two had opposed the plan. Those two
did so on the ground thta it would
make too great a demand on the
time of the examination hoards, vtrt-
ully all the members of whom are
serving without pay. The department,
the secretary said, had not reached a
decision as to the wisdom of the plan
and he indicated that none was to be
examined until congress had acted and
shown Its will in the matter.

That extreme nervousness over ap-
proaching events pervades the Ger-
man front in Flanders is indicated by
the infantry attacks the forces of
Crown l'rince ltupprecht of Bavaria
daily are throwing against Field Mar-
shal liaig's army on the \ pres salient
The attacks are being centered upon
the apex of Haig's salient in the line
which is pointing dangerously toward
the Ostend-I.ille railway, the ultimate
gaining of which by the Knglish,
Scotch and Australian contingents
would work sad havoc to the replen-
ishing with supplies of the German
line to the south from the naval bases
at Ostcnd and Zeebrttgge.
Prisoners Gratified
In storming waves of great strength
the Germans have made valiant ef-
forts to wrest from the British po-
sitions captured from them In the re-
cent offensives, but everywhere ex-
cept at two small points they met with
decisive repulse under the hurricane
of fire which swept against them from
guns of all calibre, strewing the
ground with the dead or wounded.
Numerous prisoners also have been
taken by the British and to n man
they have evinced gratification that
they are safe from inferno of bursting
shells which the British without cessa-
tion are pouring in upon German hold-
ings.
The hi1? guns of the Germans have
not been idle during the fight but their
strength is in no wise comparable to
that of the great array of cannon that
Haig has set up for warding off at-
tack* and for screening his infantry-
men as they surge forward on t>e.', ex-
ploits.
Ilaig Still Silent.

that the British commander-in-chief
lias the sltualton worked out to a
point where he is prepared to turn
loose his Infantry for another smash
across No Man's land for further Ger-
man held territory, but doubtless from
the great German activity the time is
not fur off.
Meanwhile the French and the Ger-
mans are engaged in violent artillery

BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 2. Mrs.
Henry O. Havenmeyer of New York,
a member of the advisory board of
the National Women's party, in an
address before a meeting of 150 suf-
fragists here today, appealed to the
suffragists not to lift a finger in the
aid of the liberty loan. She declared
she would not work for it, although
she had served on the committee of
women which toured the country for
the first liberty loan.
"I have not the nerve to ask for
money," she said, "for a battle for
democracy when we who demand true
democracy are thrown Into Jails for
doing so."
The suffragists present greeted
her with applause and most of them
declared they were ready to follow
her advice.
Mrs. Havemeyer said she had been
asked by Frank A. Vanderlip, presi-
dent of the National City bank of
New Y'ork, to take an active part In
the women's work for the liberty loan
but told him she was ineligible be-
cause of the government's attitude
on the suffrage question.
Mrs. Abbey Scott Baker of Wash-
ington, an official of the National Wo-
men's party, urged the women to
boycott the loan. She said she hail
three sons in the service of the gov-
ernment, but that made no differ-
ence.

was reported In a Herman official

found within the p.ritisli lines mid
ltrltisli airmen have already dropped
messages behind the Herman front,
giving notification of bis death.
\ osse was killed Sept. 23, while en-
gaged In a spectacular conduit with
a British airman. He died fighting
determinedly and magnificently. It
is a peculiar coincidence that the fa-
mous French airman, Captain tiuy-
liemer, lost his life about the same
time in battle over the enemy terri-
tory and was not reported missing un-
til the Germans found and identified
his body.
Thrilling Air Duel.
The opponent of V'osse is one of the
most brilliant, British aviators who for
the purposes of this narrative may be
referred to as Brown that not being
his real name. Here is the story:
"A number of British planes were
patrolling on the 23rd, flying at a
height of several thousand feet when
one of them was attacked by a Her-
man red nosed Albatross and a Tri-
plane It appeared later that Vosse
was the pilot of the trlplane. Two
other planes rushed up and engaged
these two with a third enemy scout,
who appeared on the scene. About
eleven other enemy airplanes were'
waiting (it a distance lo Join In the
fray, but did not attack, as some ten
British planes were circling about,
keeping them off.
"The third enemy scout, who had
Joined In the combat, vanished, but
the Albatross and the trlplane fought
In wonderful form. Brown singled
out the trlplane arid a hard fight en-
sued. Brown got In a number of good
bursts from hla machine gun and sev-
eral times had to change drums on
the gun. so furiosuly was he firing.
"For a long time the two palnes
circled, dived and maneuvered for po-
sitions and so close were they at times
that only a few inches separated their
wings. Eventually Brown got a lit-
tle above Vosse and made for the
triplane, the British airman working
iiis machine gun steadily all the time.
Vosse passed Brown's right wing by
inches and dived. The British air-
man wheeled into position and ob-
served the German gliding westward
with his engine shut off. He dived
again and got a good shot at his op-
ponent; then followed this with a
heavy burst from his gun and Vosse
did a slight right hand turn and con-
tinued to go down until he disap-
peared.
"This ended the adventure so fur
as Brown was concerned. He flew
away, not knowing who his opponent
had been or what had become of him.
later the shattered machine was
found and the body identified.
With ideal weather the Bell County
Fair continued to show yesterday an
increasing hold on the interest of the
people of this section. Close estimates
made by some in best position to
judge, who upheld the management in
arriving at an approximate idea of the
number of aUtomtbiles on the grounds
at 2,000, or .several hundred more than
the day before although they said
that the estimate in the Telegram yes-
terday morning of the number of cars
on the grounds Monday had been con-
siderably below the number actually
on the grounds that day. While the
previous announcement had shown a
great opening day attendance they
said that it had in fact been conserva-
tlce as to the number of cars there.
Anyway, the officers after checking up
from every angle of available Infor-
mation, were very certain that the
crowd ye.-lerday was larger than on
the day before. The number of paid
admissions was practically the same as
on Monday and the indications were
that there had been an increased num-
ber of season tickets used. The man-

in seeing where the blue and red rib-
