DEPARTMENT IN SUSPENSE.

The marine offices expected to hear
that the Goeben and the smaller vessel,
Breslau, had been sunk. But in the
morning came the message: Battle
ships still facing us.
II began to get on the nerves OF the
navy department. Why didn't the Eng
lish blow up the Goeben and Breslau
and be through with it?
Five days went by and the suspense
became almost intolerable. Two or
three times each day the Goeben would
say:
"Battleships still facing US.
1t was like hearing a voice from en-
tombed men. 1t was, almost certain
that the crews of the two German boats
would be destroyed as soon as the Eng
lish ships opened fire on them.
Finally came a day when moth ns
VAS heard from the Goeben.
THE English have cut loose at last.
said the navy men in Berlin. Germans
mourned as dead the SeafiShters on the
two ships.
Then two days later. the naval Off
GERS were electrified to receive a mes
sage from the Goeben sent from point
so miles distant from the place where
the bsttleships had been facing" her.
How 1t Happened.
We escaped" said the Goeben.
The decorum of the war offices went
10 pieces for a few moments. Staid old
navy men cheered like college boys.
And this is how the Goeben got away:
At sundown the engines of the two
German boats were started and they
made as IL to move further inshore.
'rteir lights were put out for short
time and were then relighted.' In the
meantime. however, they had been
changed so that the red light took the
place of the green and vice versa To
the English lookouts it must have ap-
reared as II the German ships were
tes6ed inshore. Instead, they were
Loaded for sea. Slowly. the Germans
approached the English line. BY mid
night they were ready for the final eff

fooled the English completely. The

| equipment the report continued, and
the recommendation was made that
State or Federal supervision Of mate
ria's be provided for.
The report discusses the chemical
composition of rails and deals with the
relative qualities Of soft and hard
steel. The maximum of accidents oc-
ours when the rails have been from
three to four years in the track, the
report declared and IF defects in the
steel were fewer, the number OF failures
should be less, and If loads we're lower
and trains run at lower speed, there
would also be a smaller number of fall
ures.'
Steel Cars Proved Safer.
On the subject of steel cars. the COM
mttee declares: There can be no
doubt that steel cars are better and
safer than those Of wooden construc-
ton. Experience in collisions and de-
railments in which direct comparisons
rave been made, furnishes aounoant
proof on this question.
A statement procured from the Pull
man Company for four years from l9lo
TO 1914 inclusive, shows seventy-three
persons were killed in wooden Pullman
cars while only six were killed IN an

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

l
 Although only meager reports are : at hand from any of the scenes of hostilities, it seems probable that the most serious contest is that proceed ing in the western strip of Poland, with it's northern and southern bound aries, respectively, the Vistula and
 Warta rivers, and it's western front, the border of Posen. Petrograd ad- mits big reverse in this region. Particularly quiet" is the descrip- tion of the operations in the western zone given by the French war office, although the usual artillery duels and attacks by infantry at various places were in progress. Tracy-le-Val, a short distance to the northeast of Paris and at the crook of the elbow of the western battle front, was the scene of the principal infantry at tacks. Here the French reported they held back German attempt to cap- ture the town, inflicting heavy casual ties.
 A battle has taken place off Sebas- tOpOl, III C1c Dldck sea, between huS- sian and Turkish warships. AS to it's result the report are contradictory Petrograd claims that the former German cruiser Goeben, which now flies the Turkish flag, was struck by Russian shells, that explosions occur red on board her and that she quit the encounter and disappeared in the fog. Constantinople, through Berlin, says one Russian battleship was badly damaged and that the others fled to- ward Sebastopol.
 Owing to the flooded country on the northern line in Belgium, the bel ligerents frequently resort to the use of flat-bottomed boats in their opera tions.
 Turkey has not yet replied to the request of the United States govern ment for information as to why the launch of the American cruiser Ten nessee was fired upon by Turkish land forces at Smyrna.

At The Theatres
SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"

The Arkansas Gazette had the fol- lowing to say of the Shepherd of the Hills," which appeared at the Kemp ner Saturday, matinee and night:
 Harold Bell Wright's Shepherd of the Hills in a dEamatized form was the attraction at the Kempner yester- day afternoon and last night, and at regular prices better production of it was given than was probably ex- pected. It is beautiful pastoral with a message of the virtue of forgiveness and expiation, not in the nature of a preachnent, but in the guise of enter tainment. The company was adequate to the requirements of play so sim pie. One beauty of the presentation is that there is no overdrawing of the rural characters. They are the people of the Ozarks as they exist Jess Nelson is the req lstar of the cast, although not nominally so. His por- trayal of the role of 'Preachin' Bill is an exceedingly clever bit of charac- ter work. James L. Harrington has the same role as in last years cast, that of Dad, the shepherd, and he played it with effect. Miss Allie Els more, cast for the part of Sammy, is ill at Poplar Bluff, but the role was very prettily played by Miss Ella Will son, her understudy, who made an ex- cellent impression. Miss Helen Alex andra as Aunt Hollie made a lovable old mat-on, and Frank Wilson as Old Matt was success. Earl Mcdonald as Young Matt found favor with the audience and the production was gen orally enjoyed"
 "The Shepherd of the Hills" will be the attraction at the Grand to- night Seats will be on sale at Gree sons tonight until o'clock. Prices, 25, 50, and 75 cents. First four rows $1.00.

SELLS 720 ACRES
 FOR ONLY S2,I00

Seven hundred and twenty acres of improved Faulkner county land, lying mainly in Cadron bottom, brought on- ly S2,100 when sold at public auction by J. H. Hartje, as commissioner of chancery court, this afternoon. While none of the land is in cultivation, it is said to be one of the most fertile bodies of unimproved land in the county, and portions of it are heavily timbered
 The property was sold under de- cree of foreclosure in chancery court, in the case of Edmund P. Nelson, trustee for the Missouri State Life Insurance Company, against John w. Hammons and others. Attorney Win go of Stuttgart, representing the plaintiffs, was the successful bidder. The judgment, interest and costs against the land amounted to about $3,900, $3,000 loan having been made with the property as security several years ago.

 ON ROADS FAVORED
OFFICIALS VISIT GEORGIA
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS SEE FINE ROADS BUILT BY
 PRISONERS.

Little Rock. Nov. 2O.-Commission- CTS Highfill and Kilgore of the Arkan- sas Highway Commission and Engi- neer Hugh R. Carter have returned from Atlanta, Ga., where they attend ed the national good roads meeting, and came back full of ideas regarding the use of state convicts on the roads of Arkansas.
 The commissioners and the engi- neer were the guests of Georgia off, cials for automobile drives over miles of the roads about Atlanta, all of which were built by state convicts un- der special law Most of the roads were macadam, while considerable portion of those recently built are of concrete. Where rock is not availa- ble, the roads have been graded and kept surfaced, and are as good for light travel as are the permanent ones.
 The State Highway Commission will now work on some sort of law that will permit the use of Arkansas convicts on the roads, but there are so many laws at present which inter- fere, that it will take from now until the legislative session to work out something that will stand the test. It is the desire of Commissioner w. B. Owen to work out law which will permit the use of both state and coun- ty convicts, and to work them in all counties so that there will be bikes in all directions, but this is a stupend- ous undertaking, for many of the counties now have no funds to build permanent roads, and the state has nothing with which to assist them. Tn many counties there is no rock, and they are also without funds, so if they are assisted it will be at the ex- pense of other sections of Arkansas.
 It is the desire of Commissioner Owen to work out plan that will permit permanent highway to be constructed across the state in all di- rections, touching as many counties as possible, for he believes the object lesson will arouse all sections of the counties, and make it easy to secure good roads legislation in the future
