100 Years Ago Today

THE numerous instances in which
both the Americans and the
British applied the torch TO
towns and villages they captured dur
ing the war OF 1872 caused much bit
ter feeling among the people Of both
nations. An incident which occurred
100 years ago today is worth recording
as exceptional to the practice OF the
times. A party Of Americans under
Col Isaac ". Stone attacked the
British and drove them from the vii
lage OF st. David. on the Canadian
frontier. and afterward set fire TO the
town. Col Stone denied that he had
given orders TO burn the place, but the
Commanding general OF the army held
that the senior officer was responsible
for the act. and as II was against the
orders Of the American government
he directed Col. Stone TO retire from
the army

BRITISH REPORTS
 0N NAVAL FIGHT
Two British Vessels De. stroyed by Germans Off
 Chilean Coast.

London. Nov. 6.-The admiralty to- night issued the following details Of the naval battle off the Chilean coast on Sunday:
 "The Goodhope, Monmouth and Glasgow encountered the Schorn- hurst. Gnesieau, Leipsic and Dresden both squadrons steaming south. Ine German squadron declined action until sunset, when the light was ad- vantageous to it's position. The ac- ton lasted an hour, and early in the fight the Goodhope and Monmouth took fire.

RUSSIANS TAKE
 5000 PRISONERS
Recapture Jaraslow, and Feel Confident of Success
 full March on Cracow.

Petrograd, Nov. 6-Todays news of the recapture by the Russians of the town of .JaraslOw, with 5000 Austrian prisoners, is taken'here to forecast an immediate successful march on Cra- COW, and a successful invasion further to the north Of the German province of Silesia.
 All along the 300-mile battle front the Russians have scored repeated successes in the last week, the fall of 1, Jaraslow being the one event needed to make the triumph complete all the way from the Persian border south through Poland and into Galicia. Nothing can now oppose the Rus sian advance on Cracow, except the interference of German troops, whom they have already beaten once, and Austrians whom they are now driy- | ing before them for the second time. The march on Cracow was neces- sarily interrupted when the Germans, sweeping into the north, appeared for a time to be menacing Warsaw and lvangorOd. That this check was only temporary has been apparent ever since the kaisers troops were forced 1 to withdraw from their attempt on these towns, but not until today was I it known how completely the Rus sians had succeeded in their move to- wards the Silesian border.
 Late announcements by the war of- l flee state that the only check to an uninterrupted Russian advance into Silesia is the presence of the Ger mans in Wirbelin, town in Russian Poland. Confidence is expressed that this single barrier will be swept away without much trouble, in which case the Russians will occupy at least the eastern portion of Silesia and gain a foothoId in German territory from which they may not be dislodg- ed except by terrific efforts.
 Already the Germans are known to
 be preparing for the most import ant battle. in the eastern campaign; { which will be fought between the | Warthe river. where it runs north | and south, and the Silesian border. i The Germans are weakened here by
 having sent 100000 soldiers to the western theatre of war in France and Belgium, and if the battle, soon to be waged, starts to go against them mili- Itary experts believe they will evacl- ate France and Belgium in order 1o rush in men enough to keep the czar out of Siiesia.

CROWDS THR0NG FAIR QUARTERS Visitors Anxious to Pur- chase Some of the At-
 tractive Exhibits.
EXHIBIT ENDS TODAY
Prizes Donated by Pine Bluff Mer. chants and Business Men tO Re Awarded This Evening to
 the Girls.

So great was the attendance yes terday that there was crowd al- most continually in the exhibition room on the ground floor of the Citizens Bank building, in Pine street of the first display of the products of the Jefferson County Canning and Poultry clubs, and Miss Mary Fort ne", government agent in charge of the work in this county, was kept busy explaining things to the callers, getting them to register, and looking after details generally.
 Much of Miss Fortnuer's time is taken up explaining to visitors that the articles and objects on display are not for sale, as rule, there being just a few things in the en- fire room which can be purchased, and these being all labeled to that effect. Apparently, most of the visi- tors feel, when they see all the good things to eat, that they would like to open one of the cans or jars and have little feast right on the spot.
 Highly Praise Display
 Universal praise has been extended the display by those who have seen it, and general surprise has been ex- pressed over the unexpected variety and quantity of stuff thus preserved by the girls of Jefferson county. Fruits and vegetables in almost every style. preserved, jellied or just plain "canned' are in the collection, and in addition there are all sorts Of relishes, pickles, and things of that kind. Tomatoes, turnips, corn and things of that kind are also shown in the raw product, as examples of the quality of stuff raised by the girls.
 All the prizes donated by Pine Bluff merchants and business men have not yet been sent to the dis play rooms, but already one of the big show windows is crowded with prizes. These cover a wide range of articles. In the window is $o bill. sent to the exhibit by the Merch- ants & Planters Bank, and ten big silver dollars sent in by the Cham- Der of Commerce. Accompanying this latter remittance was letter from Secretary Bloom, in which he con- yeyed to Miss Fortner and the club girls the congratulations of the Chamber of Commerce on the great success achieved already in the work,

Fort Smith, Nov. 6.-Two troops o1 United States cavalry which arrived today from Fort Sheridan, Ills, are tonight patrolling the Prairie Creek coal district at Hartford Everything io ouiet. No disorders are reported. The soldiers are in camp in the vil- lage of Prairie Creek the. heart of the mining district.
 final act of violence before the arrival of the troops occurred this morning, when several buildings at Hartford, few miles east of Prairie Creek, were burned, it is said, by miners sympathizers.. The loss is estimated at $50,O00. There was little excitement today at the sitting of the United States courts, when Judge Youmans delive"- ed his charge to the grand jury which is to investigate outrages in the min ing district. A hundred or more witnesses were summoned to appear before the grand jury. Deputy marsh als are still busy summoning wi+- nesses. Twenty witnesses from the Hartford district were examined and were dismissed, but no report was made by the grand jury.
 D. H. Hill, special assistant to the attorney general, said tonight that no indictments will be returned un- til some time week after next. At the conclusion of the day tomorrow the grand jury will adjourn for one week, and will meet Monday, Nov. 15.
 Beginning next Monday the federal court officials will be engaged ill holding court in Texarkana, Ark, for one week.
 The miners and residents of Hart ford valley insist there is no strike in this territory. The trouble origl- mated, they claim, when the Bache- Denman Coal company abrogated it's contract with the Miners union and attempted to operate it's mine No. on an open shop basis. It is the gen. eral opinion throughout this section that there will not be clash of any Kind between the miners and the soldiers unless non-union men are brought in to operate mine No. 4.
 Probe Early Trouble.
 The court instructed tlle jurors to start their investigation from May 9 on which date the judge granted all injunction against the strikers and their sympathizers.

Paris, Nov. 6.-The midnight com munication issued by the war office reads as follows:
 "In the north the battle continues violently. Our offensive, according to the latest news, was proceeding in the region to the east and south of Ypres. <l
 "In the region of Arras and from Arras as far as the Disc, several at tacks of tho Germans have been re- pulsed.
 "In the region of the Aisne, we have recaptured to the northeast of Vailly, the village of Soupir, which was lost the other day
 "In the region of the Argonne, the enemy continues to attack violently Mouse, and to the east of Verdun, we Mouse, and to the cost of Verdun, we have taken several trenches" Earlier in the day the war office is- sued this statement:
 There was no perceptible modifi- cation during the day anywhere along the front The fighting continued be- tween Dixmude and the Lys with the same characteristics as previously and without any marked advance or retirement at any point. There was violent cannonading to the north of Arras and also directed upon Arras without result for the enemy.
 "The German effort in Belgium and in the north of France continues. The Germans seem to have undertaken changes in the position of their forces which are operating in this region and are reinforcing their reserve corps with active troops with the idea of undertaking new offensive move ment, or at least to mitigate the bloody checks which have been inflict- ed upon them.
 Between the Somme and the Oise and between the Disc and the Mouse there have been minor actions. We

Turks Defeat Russians.

Berlin, via London, Nov. 6.-An of- ficial Constantinople communication states that the Russians have been completely driven from the region of Kara ,Kalissa at Dooham. The Turk ish reserves annhilated Cossack de- tachment, which attempted to cross the flooded river near Ordulis, and they themselves crossed the frontier in to Bau, Caucausus.
 Kara Kalissa is in the Turkish province of ErZerum, about fifteen miles from the Russian frontier. It is about sixty miles from Mt. Ararat. upon which, according to tradition, Noah's Ark landed after the flood.
 No details of the sinking of the cruiser York are available. It is stated that the sinking was due 10 the cruiser touching German mine while passing through narrow channel in a mine field. The con- duct of the crew was exemplary.

Head of Mohammedan Faith Issues Dangerous Proc
 lamation.
ENGLAND DISCOUNTS
 IMPORTANT ACTION
Nizam of Hydcrabad Has Already Called Upon His Followers in Indian States to Remain L0yal-Af.
 ghanS Reported Active.

London Nov. 6.-Advices from Ger man sources by wireless say that the Shcik-ul-Islam, head of the 220000,- 900 MChammedans in the world has proclaimed a holy war or Islam against the enemies of Turkey.
 The significance of this action be- comes evident when it is recalled that more than 10O,OOO,00O or nearly half the total number in the world, are now under English rule.
 These men, according to the procla- nation said to have been issued by Sheik-ul-Islam must either fight the enemies of Turkey Or be disloyal to the head of their faith.
 The effects of this proclamation have already been anticipated in Egypt, where martial law has been declared No serious demonstra- tions of the Mohammedan population is feared in India. It is stated that the great majority of the followers of Islam there are loyal to Great Brlt- ain. This statement is borne out by the proclamation issued by the Nizam of Hydaabad who is perhaps the most important Moslem potentate in India, calling upon all Moslems in that country to remain loyal to Great Britain.
 The importance which the British government attaches to the matter IS shown by the fact that the official press bureau publishes the Nizam's proclamation in full. Nevertheless 1 it cannot be denied that there is great uneasiness in many quarters over the possibilities of the situation. There can be no doubt that Germany is resorting to every artifice to stir up sedition in the British colonies.
 Already there are reports that the Mohammedans of Afghanistan are marching upon India. A message from Cohstantinople, via Berlin, says that the9 Amur of Afghanistan has sent out 175,000 men with 135 guns. While the number of men is an obvi- ous exaggeration, it is recalled that England has already fought two cost ly wars with the Afghanistans and that she has never subdued them. They remain to this day independent. Fighting between the Turks and Russians is now going on within the shadow of Mt Ararat
