 More than 100 commercial leaders and directors from the sixteen states in the Mississippi valley agreed to- day that the greatest field for com mercial opportunity lies in Central America and along the western coast of South America, brought to the door of the Mississippi valley by the open ing of the Panama canal.

Germans and Allies Are Bringing Up Great Bodies
 Under Cover of Cannon.
ARMIENTIERRES TO
 BE BATTLE SCENE
French Algerian Troops Give Good Account of Themselves In Bloody Battle at Tracy .le-Val. Where
 They Save French.

Paris, Nov. 19.-Forces are gather- ing for decisive events in Flanders.
 The big guns are at it again, con- ducting terrific bombardment of the allies positions from the German line. The French and British guns are re- plying but with less vigor Under cover of the artillery activity, both armies are moving troops with great rapidity and in great numbers. The moement is southward. and 1t is be- lieved the next great effort of the Germans will be made to the south of Ypres, probably at Armientierres. Aerial scouts of both the Germans and the allies were active all day, accord ing to unofficial reports from the front
 TurcOs Fight Like Fiends. The midnight statement from Bor- deauX was barren of news from the front, but the afternoon statement re- lated remarkable story of the valor of the half-savage French Algerians l in repelling a furious attack by the Germans in the vicinity of Tracy-le- Val.
 The allies took possession of Tracy | IC-V dI StNCI dl uuyS d6o, anu tAC N1h mans on Tuesday returned to the at tack with the intention of recapturing 1.-the town. So terrific was the Initial onslaught, that it carried them up to and over the first line of entrench- ment. Carried on by the success or this effort, they advanced rapidly on the village. The Alegrians, who had been called from the reserve to sup port the first line of trenches. when | it was seen the French troops were about to be overwhelmed, passed the retiring French troops on the road. The latter were almost exhausted from the vigor of the fighting. The Algerians were fresh and their 0ffi- cers insisted that they be permitted to meet the second blow of the at- tackers.
 Battle on Carpet of Dead.
 As the French fell back, fighting all the way suddenly there was uncover !e do tthe view of the oncOming Ger mans a solid front of turbaned Tur- COS. They fell on the Germans with blood -curdling yells, and cut them with lead and steel. The fighting was terrific. The TurcOs went down into them and fought man to man, until the German front was broken and shattered. The dead were scattered thick, and many were tramped upon by foot. The cross road which was the center of the conflict was mass of tangled, lunging. gouging warriors. swaying back and forth in desperate
 battle.
 The Algerians regained every foot
 of ground that had been lost. says the communication, the Germans be- ing forced to retreat.
 Il According to unofficial dispatches, the Germans have been forced to quit Lille and the British are said to be in the town. There is no official con- firmation of this success, nor of the
 report that the allies have occupied II DOuain.

Land Owning Aristocracy Without Patriotism and
 Responsible for Trouble.
PEACE IS IMPOSSIBLE
Presidents Personal Representative Declares Permanent Peace Can. not Exist Under Present
  Conditions.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-John Lind, former governor of Minnesota and President Wilson's personal repre- sentative to Mexico, declared in an address before the Industrial club of Chicago here tonight that permanent peace is impossible in Mexico, on the basis of continuance of presen; social and economic conditions.
 Y viii say further" he said, "that I am not satisfied that even if Huerta had been recognized and of fered the opportunity to borrow all the money Europe would lend, he could not have established peace. He obtained in various ways and used upwards of two million pesos during his trief career. Notwithstanding he was unable to make any substan- tial headway against the constitution alists, though they were carrying on their operations practically without funds. "There is a class of Mexicans at whose door the charge of lack oi patriotism may truthfully be laid the land-owning aristocracy. They divide their time between European resorts and the jockey club in Mexico City and bull fighting.
 "They evince no more interest in the welfare of the Mexican people than the average share holder ill Mexican mine. It was this class vho wrecked the Madero administrator and formed and financed the revo'u- tion which ended in his assassina- ltion.
 MT. Lind defended President Will sor's policy in Mexico:
 Europe condemned his idealisn as we'll as his diplomacy. Europe ls now reaping the fruit of it's diplom- acy; we of ours. Which do you ore fer?"

MANN MOTOR CAR co. SECURES
 AGENCY FOR DODGE BROS,

Official announcement is made by Dodge Brothers, Detroit of the se;w ton of the Mann Motor Car company to handle the forthcoming Dodge Brothers car in Pine Bluff and vicin- ity.
 The rivalry on the part of dealers to represent this new car has been intense, not only in Pine Bluff, but throughout the country-as high as thirty-one applications having been received from dealers in some of the larger cities. It is therefore a dis tinct compliment to the Mann Motor company that they have been suc- cessful in securing this most coveted agency.
 Dodge Brothers are widely known in the automobile industry as tho largest manufacturers of parts in the world. It is stated on good authority that they have supplied the vital parts to over 5O0.0GC of the 1.250, 900 cars now in use in t.is country. Because of their trmendous manu- featuring facilities, their high finan- cial standing, and their wide experi- CACG HI tnC VI P0l I0s v is generally conceded that the car they will market this fall will set a new standard in automobile values. Their car has been called the "Car of Mystery" because of the fact that no word has been given out as to price. dimensions or equipment. In spite of this fact. thu reputation of Dodge Brothers is such that the best dealers throughout the country are taking on the lines, because" as M-. Mann says, "it is inconceivabre that 8 concern of the character of Dodge Brothers should manufacture a car that would not play very large part in establishing automobile values for the future"
 The Mann Motor Car company while less than two years old. has become the leading automobile firm of Pine Bluff and Southeast Arkan- sas. and we bespeak for them even greater success with this new agency.
 Dodge Brothers are fortunate n Securing such representative dealers in Pine Bluff.
 | The success of the new car in thu hands of the Mann Motor company il assured.

If Firing on Tennessee's g Boat Was Hostile Act,
 Turkey Must Answer.
DELAY PUNISHMENT
Determined to Avoid Becoming In. yOlved in European War, United States Will Patiently
 Ride Time.

Washington, Nov. 19.-On the "in- tent" of the Turks at Smyrna in firing on the launch of the cruiser Tennes- see depends the outcome of the epf- sode.
 Not word came today from Am bassador Morgenthau at Constantin- ople nor from Captain Decker of the Tennessee, which is now at ChiOs in the Aegean sea.
 The state and navy department do not even know if their messages to the ambassador and the ship were re- ceived, although the bureau which handled them was instructed to re- peat them over every known method of communication.
 Acting Secretary of State Lansing tonight said the state department wants Ambassador Morgenthau ,o find out if the firing on the launch was a hostile act, local or national, or if it was intended as a signal vo keep away from mine field. If it is said to be considered hostile act it can be stated authoritatively tha! this government will ask for an apol- ogy unless it comes at once without
 
 request
 Officials of the state department emphasized again today the determin- ation of this government to avoid be. coming involed in the European war They indicated their intention to gt almost any length to avoid complica- tions with Turkey at this time. This is interpreted to mean that ir the event of an open rupture thit government would take no aggressive action. It's course would probably be to get all Americans out of Turk ish territory quickly. The belief is that when that is accomplished tho United States will withdraw it's ships and allow the matter to hang fire un til after the close of the European war. Then it will present it's bill fol indemnity and. if it is necessary tt use force to obtain satisfaction, vii do it at that time, when it will b. possible to evade having part in thu worlds war.
