WILSON STANDS BY NAVY PROGRAM
President Does Not Sub scribe to Plan for Increas-
 ed Appropriations.

Washington, Nov. 10.-President Wilson let it be known to callers to- day that he will not ask congress for any increase in naval appropriations.
 The administrations program calls for two battleships, eight submarines and six gunboats.
 The navy board composed of experts will recommend four battleships, fif- teen submarines and from fourteen to sixteen gunboats.
 The presidents attitude for small naval program, it was predicted here tonight by his enemies, will precipi- tate the bitterest fight congress has ever known upon the upbuilding of the navy.
 The executive, legislative and judi ciary bill providing mainly for sala- ries, aggregating $37,O00.O000 in this years bill and the District of Co1um bia measure for which this year car ried $12,OOO, ,OO0, will be ready for the house to take up when congress con- venes, according to Representative Johnson of South Carolina.
 The two bills will carry less appro- priations than they did in the past ses- sion, Mr. Johnson said. The pension appropriation billl. az gregating more than $170, 0,00O,000, also will be ready. Representative Hay ot Virginia has given notice he will be ready with the army appropriation bill soon after the house meets.

RAISE Sl957 FOR
 CHARITY IN DAY
Workers in Behalf of Poor Receive Encouragement
 From All Visited.

That there are many good Samarl- tans in Pine Bluff was demonstrated yesterday when the committees work ing to secure $3,000 for relief work by the Associated Charities during the next twelve months secured subscrip- tions amounting to $1,957.30 Of this amount, $187 was in cash. The re- mainder is represented by pledges of monthly contributions, the goood peo- pie instructing their banks to pay the sums pledged monthly. This method was followed last year, and so faithful were the contributors that out of about $2,30O pledged only $6 was not collected, according to Miss Julla Houston, secretary of the Charities.
 Dr. James Thomas, chairman of the organizations finance committee, and the other prominent men who volun- teered to help in raising the charity fund, were deeply gratified by the reception accorded them and by the generous response to their appeal on behalf of the city's poor. Dr. Thomas says all are giving to the good cause, and that he feels sure when the com mittees have visited all on their routes the s3,OO0 will have been pledged. Owing to the fact that many persons were not seen yesterday, the canvass will be continued until Saturday.
 How the Workers Pared. The different committees, their routes and the amounts secured fol- low:

NORTH CAROLINA BLOWN UP, SAYS
 SMYRNA REPORT
Washington Does Not Credit Rumor of Destruction of
 Cruiser.

Washington, Nov. 1G.-Owing to alarming reports that the United States armored cruiser North Caro- lima had been blown up in the port of Smyrna, the navy department is mak- ing efforts to ascertain her where abouts.
 None of the officials credited the re- port that the North Carolina had sui fered injury, especially in view of dispatches today from Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantinople, con- taining the assurances of the Turkish government of perfect safety to all -combatants in the Turkish Go- miniOn.
 The North Carolina was last heard of Nov at Beirut. On Nov. it was reported she had landed marines at Beirut, and the navy department sent a cable message on November to ascertain if that were a fact. No an swer to that inquiry has been received at the department and this has caused considerable surprise among officials The department, however, will no. ex- press itself except on facts.

RETIRE FROM BELGIUM.
Germans Moving Headquarters and
 Big Guns Eastward

London, Nov. 10.-The German re- retirement from Belgium is becoming general. The German army head quarters have been transferred to Alsot, fifteen miles west of Brussels, and forty miles east of the fighting line at Dixmude.
 Circumstances lead to the belief here that the withdrawal ;' troops from Raigium is not altogether for the purpose of reinforcing the Aus tro-German line in the eastern field. The removal of headquarters to the rear indicates to military experts that the German fighting line will also be transferred to the eastward.
 Great numbers of big guns are being withdrawn and transported to Germany.
 A dispatch to the Central News from Amsterdam says:
 "Train load after trainload of Ger man artillery are leaving the Lys valley in the direction of Ghent.
 "The dense fogs which have coy- cred the Flanders field for several days have at last lifted. according to dispatch from Flushing, and furi- ous fighting has been resumed in the

Substituting Reserves for Veterans Sent Against
 Russians.
BELGIAN TRICK
 PROVES BOOMERANG
Flooded Fields Forced Germans Ont, But Prevent Allies From Advance ing-German Cruiser Emden
 Is Destroyed.

Paris, Nov. 10.-The Gerr ans have re-opened their local attack with great violence on the left ing of tho allies, all along the front from Noyon 10 Dixmude. according to the official statement issued by the war office at Bordeaux tonight.
 What they failed to accomplish with seasoned troops, they are now attempting with young and old men. Most of the veterans have been with drawn to the eastern frohtieT accord ing to dispatches from London, but the newly arrived reserves are giving a good account of themselves. If anything. their couras' is iust as reckless and they are just as con- temptuous of death and just as dis dainful of the effects ot the allies fire as were the tried troops who lived among tine flying lead and shell, walking and sleeping during the hundred odd days they have been glv- ing the French, British and BelgianE desp rate battle in Frarce.
 Tlh invaders gre making al great ef- fort to cover the retirement of the troops ordered withdrawn or they are making supreme and 1esoerate eff fort tc drive through Yores. If the former, the allies are ready to pounce' upon the enemy as soos as he has tired of his attempt 10 cover the movement in his rear. If the latter, the Germans have their work cut out | for them.
 With the western situat tion critical fy threatening the kaiser, the Ger mans must either push through to the coast or retire to more easily supplied line nearer their base in the opinion of military experts hera. If they delay much longer the troops l they need to withstand Russia's att tacks on tine east cannot be spared from the western line because every man will be needed to maintain the line from Noyon to the sea.
 | Attempts to drive through at three seperate points were repulsed by the allies late yesterday, according to of ficial rports issued this afternoon.
 At DixchOOte, at Ypres, and at Armentierzes the advantages swayed as the offensive was taken by one side and then the other. The day ended with the allies positions con- siderably advanced. The fighting was much more violent than on the pre-. vious days, the line clashing in close contact, with the bayonet ill use
 frequently. :
