 CAUSES PROTESTS
Creditors of Bank of Pine Bluff Object to $2,500 Fee
 and Other Items.

That the expense of liquidating the affairs of the Bank of Pinne Bluff, as shown by the statement and proposed expenditures of the state banking commissioner, is excessive is the De- lief of several creditors of the defunct institution who yesterday filed inter vention in the matter, praying that Chancellor J. M. Elliott will reject several items in the general expense account and refuse to authorize the payment to Special Deputy Commis- sioner R. p. Pugh of $2.5O0 as par tial payment' for services rendered in the matter.
 The creditors intervening and op- posing the approval of the expendl- lures are Harry B. Curtis, as guard ian for Herbert E. Trulock; C. M. Ferguson & son, Waterloo Drainage district and J. w. Crawford. They are represented by Attorneys Danaher x Danaher and Powell X Alexander.
 As to the proposed fee of $25O0 to the special deputy examiner, the in- teryenors set forth that he has been in charge of the bank only since July 8. and that to allow this sum in par tial payment" of services would be allowing a compensation in excess oi 1 $500 a month. The protestants de- clare this excessive, pointing out thai the salary of the state banking com missioner is only $3,O00. They also alleged that the special deputy com missioner is not devoting his entire time to the affairs of the Bank o1 I Pine Bluff, and that to allow this expense an dothers in the list would be to put the cost above that of thu operation of the bank when it wal
 doing business.

 The correspondent wh| sends tas story says it com's from an antho2l- tatRo source, but that the censor n ! net permitted its publication in GrAot Pi tain.
 The facts in the case. says the CT respondent, became known at the tour: martial of Admiral 1rowbrla$' for allowing the German warships 10 Jude him.

Washington, Dec. This govern ment, as shown by official dispatches given out today, is dealing with Zapa- la as the new de facto power at the national capital of Mexico.

 The state department officials, however. still regard the situation in Mexico City from an optimistic point Of view. One of the official state ments given out said the Zapata lea' CTS were redressing wrongs done by their followers in the early days of their occupation of the city.
 General Angeles has arrived at Mexico City, where he awaits General Villa. The latter has published l general order guaranteeing p3ace and that wrong will be punished by death."

French Make Gains in Rather Warm Engage
 ment" Reports Paris.
GERMANS DRIVEN
 FROM THE TRENCHES
EniIaiing Fire oi French R0uts kafS- CTS TrcGps After Alternate Gains and Losses Had Been Made
 and Suiitred.

Paris, Dec. 1.-The battle of the coal fields. as the furious engagement De- ing fought to the north of Arras mas come to be known. centered today on the banks of the canal stretching rom Bcthune to Lens. Here the Germans and French were at grips i'll terrlhe encounter during most of the day. The fighting was most vigorous, and heavy losses were sustained by both sides. The official statement, in which the result of the days battle was an- nounced, says it was rather warm engagement" After alternate sue cesses and rcverscs, in which first one army and then the other occupied the disputed advantageous positions on the canal banks, the French, by | flanking movement. were able to pour an enfilading fire into the German trenches, routing them and carrying by storm the chateau of Bermelles and the parks surrounding it, posi- tion fo great advantage which the Germans had held stubbornly for sew cral days.
 German Offensive More Determined.
 The Germans held the embankments along the canal in strong force when lIlt Ddlllt OptItu DuA bS 'I''i ''co'+ they had been forced back to positions above the deserted mine workings
 Strong endorsements have been sent up by General .Ioifre to meet the greatly increased strength of the in-
 vaders. Heavy cannon are being mounted in the rear of the French pO- sitions in order to break the German offensive, which is growing more de- termned as the fighting in this region progresses The German plan evidently is to attempt to hack through at this point in Passe de Calais, where they are now about 25 miles from Bo- logne, and about 9 miles from Ca lais.
 The first infantry activity in two days was shown by the Germans in the fighting in Belgium, when today they tried sortie to the south of
 Dixschoote in an effort to recover some of the Territory occupied by the allies during yesterday and Sunday. The attempt met with failure, despite the strnegth of the force sent to the attack.
 French Gain In ArgOnne.
 Fighting continues stubbornly in the
 Argonne region, where tonight the re-
 port from French corps com-
 mander states that his troops have
 made an advance in the woods of La Guerrie, which has been disputed ter ritory for several days.
 Bombawdment of Rheims is inces- sant. Unofficial estimates of the dam age brought here place the figures at $70,0000 000
 - Intermittent artillery fire was the
 only fighting along the Aisne, but here , as in the Woevre region, where the firing is desultory. there has been no - important change in the general sftua- r ton. Ys
 9 French popular imagination has 3 been stirred by the announced visit of D King George to the front Newspapers . commenting upon the royal visit point Il to the fact that this is the first time e British monarch has been present '' win his army in the field in I'll years,
