Some of the smaller counties will have an organi zation of, say, 25 men, and in the larger centers the organizations will be com posed of very many more men, organ; ized under strictly military auspices and the arms furnished by the Federal Government.

DtiHaa, Texas, Sept. 21. The Texas Farmers' Uniori, :in; session here, went on record today as favoring a minimum or 30 cents a, pound ror cotton during to war. . - Petrograd, Sept. 21. The resigna tion of General Alexieff as chief of the general staff has been followed by the appointment in -his placeof M. Tchere misoff, whose predilections are highly democratic. The appointment of M. Tcheremisoff is the signal for drastic reforms, but the Immediate .motive for a change in the incumbency of the post is not publicly known. One report is that General Alexieff resigned in order to free the hands of Premier Kerensky, with whom he con sented to take the post on the condi tion that the new cabinet would be a coalition one and which condition Pre mier Kerensky failed to bring about. Another explanation is that General Alexieff was not in agreement with the premier regarding the lattr's plans for a general reorganization, Kerensky having insisted on the dismissal of all higher officials guilty of even passive support of General Kornlloff. Premier Kerensky's policy will be executed by the new war minister Verkovsky, and the new chief of staff, M. Tcheremisoff. The latter was for a short time commander on the south west front, from which post he was dismissed as the result of the insist ence o fGeneral Korniloff. After that M. Tcheremisoff became popular in democratic circles owing to his dec laration that General Korniloff's plan to re-establish discipline by repression was inadequate. BOTH AUSTRIA AND GERMANY REPLY TO VATICAN PROPOSAL (Continued from Page One.) tween the belligerents for an under standing for simultaneous and reci procal reduction of armaments on land and sea and in the air, by which the high seas, which rightfully belong to all nations, will be opened equally to the use of all, is supported by Emperor Charles. The Reply in Part. The reply says: "Holy Father: With due veneration and deep emotion we take cognizance of the new representations Your High ness, in fulfillment of the holy office entrusted to you by Ood, make to us and the heads of the other belligerent states with the noble intention of leading the heavily tried nations to a unity that will restore peace to them. "With a cheerful heart we received this fresh gift of fatherly oare which you, Holy Father, always bestow on all peoples without distinction. . . . Soon after our accession to the throne it was vouchsafed to us in common with our allies to undertake a step which had been considered and prepared by our exalted predecessor, Francis Joseph, to pave the way for a lasting and honor able peace. "We gave expression to this desire in a speech from the throne delivered at the opening of the Austrian reichs rath, thereby showing that we are striving after a peace that shall free the future life of the nation from ran cor and a thirst for revenge and that shall secure them for generations to come from the employment of armed forces. ... Conclusion Arrived At. "Happy is the t thought that our de sires from the first were directed to ward the same object which Your Holi ness today characterizes as one we should strive for We have taken into close consideration the concrete and practical suggestions of Your Holiness and have come to the following con clusions: "With deed-rooted conviction we agree to the leading ieea of Your Holi ness that the future arrangement of the world must be based on the elim ination of . armed forces and on the moral force of right and on the rule of international justice and legality. "We, too, are imbued with the hope that a strengthening of the sense of right would morally regenerate human ity. We support therefore Your Holi ness view that the negotiations be tween the belligerents should and could lead to an understanding by which, with the creation of appropriate guarantees, armaments on land and sea and in the air might be reduced simul taneously, reciprocally and gradually to a fixed limit, and whereby the high seas, which rightly belong to all the nations of the earth, may be freed from dominion or paramountcy and be opened equally for the use of all. Prepared for Negotiations. "Fully conscious of the importance of the promotion of peace on the meth od proposed by Your Holiness, namely, to submit International disputes to com pulsory arbitration, we are also pre pared to enter Into negotiations re garding this proposal. "If, as we most heartily desire, agree ments should be arrived at between the belligerents which would realize this sublime ideal and thereby give security to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy for its unhampered future development, it can not then be difficult to find a satis factory solution of the other questions which still remain to be settled be tween the belligerents in a spirit of justice and of a reasonable considera tio nof the conditions for the existence of both parties. "If the nations of the earth were to enter, with a desire for peace, into ne gotiations with one another In the sense of Your Holiness' proposals, then peace coul dblossom forth from ahem. The nations could attain complete free-; dom of movement on the high seas, heavy material burdens could be taken from them and new sources of prosper ity opened to them. "Guided by a spirit of moderation and conciliation, we see in the proposals of Your Holiness a suitable basis for ini tiating negotiations with a view to pre paring a peace just to all and lasting. and we earnestly hope our present enemies may be animated by the same ideas. In this spirit we beg that the Almighty may bless the work of peace begun by Your Holiness." GEN.

Indian moun tain stronghold, accompanied only by an orderly, and induced the chief to return with him and surrender.

His Arrest Depends Upon Out come of Official Inquiry Tells Audience That America Had No Grievance Against Germany "You're Yellow," Shonts a Man In the Crowd.' St. Paul, Minn., Sept .21. Governor Burnquist announced tonight that if an official investigation of the alleged disloyal statements made by Senator LaFollette at the closing session of the Non -Partisan league high cost of liv ing conference here last night reveals his remarks were seditious, the Min nesota public safety commission, of which the Governor is chairman, will ask for the senator's arrest : Senator LaFollette told a large au dience that he was opposed to war, that he thought Germany had been rather rough with the "technical" rights of American citizens, but tht he did not think the exercise of these technical rights in traveling on bellig erent merchant men laden with muni tions, was worth going to war about. The delegates to the conference, mainly farmers, frequently interrupt ed his e-peech with applause. There were a few in the gathering, however, who did not approve of the senti ments expressed by the speaker. When the Senator sought to defend the sinking of the Lusitania, there came cries of "you're yellow." Instant ly there was confusion, but above the uproar, the Senator shouted: "Any man who says' that in an audience like this is yellow himself." "A passenger on a foreign ship car rying munitions is technically in for eign territory." a1d Senator LaFol lette, when he could make himself heard. "The citizen who enters such a ship takes his life in his own hands. I believe that the American munition makers encouraged Americans to ride on such ships to give them semblance of protection. I was not in favor of beginning this war. We had no griev ance. Ths German government had interfered with our rights to travel on the high seas' as passengers on mu nition ships of Great Britain. On these grievances, which were Insig nificant, considering the rights ad oon sequences ivolved, we want to war.
