CITY ENTITLED
 TO WATER RATE Traffic Commissioner Tay- ldr Files Complaint With I. c. c.
SAVING IN PROSPECT
Should Federal Body Grant Petition of Pine Bluff Bureau, Rates to City Would Be 10 to 20
 Per Cent Lower.

A movement which has been under way iE Pine Bluff for some time, came to- a crux yesterday when Com missioner w. M. Taylor of the traffic Commerce Commission at Washing ton petition, asking for rail and water rate to Pine Bluff from al, points on twenty trunk line rail- roads, which cover virtually all northern, eastern and southeastern territory with which Pine Bluff has commercial connections.
 The petition recites that Pine Bluff is situated on a river of sufficient depth to allow of water transportation of freight, and that as matter of fact boats are now plying the river, bringing freight to and fro between Pine Bluff and the Missessippi. The petition further recites that although railroads named as defendants there- in have been asked to establish rail and water rates, they have refused or failed to do so.
 The commission is asked to put the rail and water rates into effect, with Memphis to be specified as the place where the railroads deliver the Pine Bluff freight to the steamboats which will then carry the freight to this city. Such rail and water rates, it is believed by Commissioner Tay- Tor, will be lower by 10 to 20 per cent, than the present all-rail rates.
 The defendants named in the peti- tion are as follows:
 Pine Bluff and Rosedaie Packet company; Memphis & Arkansas City Packet company; Louisville & Nash vile, Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis; Southern, St. Louis & San 1 Francisco, Mobile & Ohio, Illinois Central, Baltimore & Ohio Sou'hwest- ern, Baltimore & Ohio, Cleveland Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis; ,, Pennsylvania company, Pennsylvania the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis; the Erie; Cincinnati, Ham. 'ilton & Dayton, Michigan Central Pere Marquette, Grand Trunk Wab- ash; Chicago Northwestern and Chi cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.

Cut Off German Garrison in Ypres From Main Body
 of Prussians.
DENSE FOG PUTS
 STOP TO KILLING
Berlin Reports That Attacks in Direc- ton of Aprcs Are Proceeding Steadily, and That Russians
 Have Been Defeated.

Paris, Nov. 9.-The allies, on the offensive in the battle of Flanders. today firmly established their line on the east of Ypres, from the river Lys to point considerably north of Langhemarck, which is five miles north and northeast of Ypres. This line is from Menin. past Ypres on the east. to north of Langhemarck
 When it is considered the Germans now occupy Ypres and that great con- centrated forces of fresh troops have been driving at the French and Brit ish position in the environs Of the town in gigantic effort to win through on the march to Calais, the significance of this gain is easily to be realized. fM The allies have cut off the German garrison in Ypres from the main body operating towards it from the east, and they have forced back this main body, whose only hope was to main- tain the violent offense.
 | Meanwhile the British offense was driving hard on Ypres from the west. wfile from the south along the Menln road and along the plateau to Dras. traverse1 by the road from Ypres to Armentierres, the allies are still car irving the fighting to the invaders, de- spite the vic lent counter attacks Of the German army corps.
 I Slowly but surely, the allies are creeping forward and in like ratio the Fruss!ans are being pressed back foot by foot.
 Dense fogs, swept down from F1an- ders, where it delayed operations g day ago, now envelops the remainder of the battle front along the French left center and on the center. caus- ling dsfnvA cessation of hOstilities.
 The allies made rapid progress to- day along the greater part of the line from Dixmude to the river Lys.
 In Alsace the Germans have directed fresh attacks against the heights of Mt St. Marie, but they have suffered a decided check, according to official statement.

NEUTRAL VESSELS SAFE

Washington. Nov 9.-Goods iH neutral vessels bound for Norway Sweden and Denmark will no longer be molested by warships of Great Britain, when the government of the country to which the shipments arc consigned guarantees they will no be exported to Germany or Austria
 This announcement was made to- day by the State department.

Order Stipulates Nothing to Prevent Strike Vote
 Being Taken.
SHOULD PRESENT
 RAILROADS SIDE
St Louis Tribunal Holds Officers of Three Railroad Orders Proceeded Wrong in Taking Strike
 Vote.

St. Louis, Nov. 9.-Three railroad ] brotherhoods were restrained by the circuit court today from calling a strike on the Cotton Belt railroad. The injunction was directed against the officers of the Order of Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engi- neers.
 The court ruled, however that the injunction does not prevent the un- ions from taking a strike vote. The injunction was granted at the request of six union men who claimed the strike order was issued after some of the men who had voted in favor of strike had asked that their vote be changed.
 The difficulty between the railroad company and the engineers arose out of the discharge of a conductor on grounds of intoxication. Tue union leaders insisted he was not intoxicat- ed
 The railroad company invoked fed eral mediation, which was accepted by the unions.
 The court said that the union off cials in asking for the strike vote should have set forth both sides of the controversy with the company. This was not done, the court said, and the union officials presented to the men only the claims of the discharged con- ductOr.
 Men Here Silent. Local members of the orders ahect- ed by the St. Louis court injunction
 were silent last night as to the proba-
 ble next step to be taken in the Till man case. In the absence of the mem bers of the federated board, members
 of the organizations professed to be
 without information as to the future
 course. The federal .'"ard of media
 tion considered it improper for that
 body to hear the case while it was
 pending before the court, but wheth-
 CT the madiators will retain this attl-
 tude it problematical.
 Railroad men persist in the opinion /, that the Cotton Belt will grant their
 demands in the Tillman case rather than have the matter gope Into DJ
 the board of mediation.
