 That the allies have been able to make good the advantage thus gain ed is indicated by the official state mont issued at midnight which says there is no new development, permit ting the assumption that the allies l were able to dig themselves in at their advanced position and thorough ly strengthen their hold.
 Nine distinct artillery duels were fought tt widely separate points along the battle front, in all of which the French guns proved victorious. Tn four of the engagements, the Ger man batteries opposing the French were destroyed completely or silenc- | ed

Four Men Dismissed by Gov ernor Hays, Say They

HAYS IS CHOOSING
 FOUR NEW MEMBERS
Expected That E. NJ. McCOrkle and Conrad Elsken Will Sit With Gen. Thomas Green on New
 Charities Board.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.~Four mem- bers of the state board Of charities who last night were mailed notifica- tlons by Governor Hays to conside: themselves removed from office un- less their resignations were forth coming, immediately, declare they in- tend to "sit tight" and contest efforts of Governor Hays to oust them. The four are s. M. Shane, Paragould, , Judge R. c. Love. Mountain Home: E. C. Parsons, Batesville; and Dr. w. c. Dunaway. Little Rock. None has re- ceived the communication with the exception of Dr. Dunaway. The de- mands were msilel to taa hcm2s. Gt the four members. Each declared there would be no resignations filed so far as they knew, other than those cf Conrad Elsken Of Suniaco and E. M. McCorkle of Philadelphia, receiv- ed by Governor Hays yesterday morn ing.
 Governor Not Perturbed.
 That Governor Hays will make no appointments to the board until sometime next week, was the 1tate- ment emanating from his office to- day.
 I will appoint a pew board within a few days. but the appointments vii! not be made public until next week. said Governor Hays.
 So far Governor Hays has declined to accept resignations from MT. Ell sken and MT. McCorkle. The two members were in accord with Cover nor Hays" views on the state asylum and charit. board situations, and il would not be surprising to see them in the personnel of the new board.
 'T am confident I have the power under existing conditions, to demand the removal of the eou, board mem bers," said Governor Hays today.
 However, the board members be- lieve otherwise. When Governor K O. Pindall tooh office a similar situation arose. Gov ernor Pindall removed tn. state char ity board and appointed ar ent1re:N new one. There were no ground; other than political friendship foi Governor Pindall's action, however, l was said. l..
 The case was taken into court bl the removed board. and the suprem' court ruled the governor could not re move the board without legal cause The old board was reinstat"d.
 However, in the present case, GOV ornor Hays believes there is suff1c1 ent legal cause for removal or LII four board members. .o
 After learning of thu ordef 10 their resigna+ions. the four memoe' began preparing a stat 7":"nt, sepa , rate from that in answer to 'h charges made by Dr. J. L. Greene

 TASTE OF WINTER First Real Snow Storm of
 Season Occurs Yesterday, ! Helping Grain Growers. SNOW FALL GENERAL Reports Show Tennessee and Missis. sippi, as We'll as States in South. west, Experiencing Shaw and Sleet.
SNOW FALL GENERAL.

Pine Bluff yesterday had it's first real snowfall of the winter season. It was heavy fall, lasting a consid- erable period of time, and although at the beginning, the snow melted as fast as it reached the ground within an hour everything was cover ed with a frosting, making the city appear "Spotless Town" Then it rained, was very sloppy, and the snow disappeared.
 It showed little while yesterday forenoon, just as it has showed very slightly twice within the past week, but it amounted to nothing. It was noticeable, and that was about all. Along about 3 o'clock in the after noon, however, it showed sure-enough and by o'clock everything was coat ed, excepting only such things and | places as were protected
 Farmers Delighted.
 1 It being Saturday, there were il the city a number of farmers of this section who have planted oats and other grain on land that heretofore has been put in cotton. These men looked upon the fall of snow es fav orable to those crops.
 '"This snow is far better than SC much rain," said one of them, "in tha it gets the moisture to the groune without doing any harm at all, and with the greatest of benefit. The snow lights gently upon the ground, and II inc course of time it melts, allowins inc water to enter the soil. There is no washing of the top soil and the ! seed is not interfered with at all This sort of weather just no" Is "ha' ia needed to aid the grain crops to
 greatest extent"
 A pecx2i%ity of the snowfall yes terday afternoon was that 1t came from the south-the sunny south O which poets have sung for severa generations past. A strong souti breeze was blowing when it began U snow. and continued quarter hour rntil it shifted and came from tn' worth There was only sligh J change in temperature. however.
