DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

Heavy fighting is in progress near ly everywhere along the entrenched line in Belgium and France and in the Eastern zone virtually from the Baltic sea to the southern side of the Carpathian mountains. The news that has been permitted to filter through official channels is not suf- ficient to show what any of the con- tenders has gained or lost. The French, the Germans, the Russians and the Austrians all claim progress, but none assefts that their men have gained a decisive advantage. All of- ficial reports contirue to show heavy casualties and large captures of prisoners and of munitions of war.
 Both branches of the French Par liament have passed, unanimously the governments bill appropriating $1, 700 100000 to meet the expenses )of the next six months, including the cost of the war.
 King Albert of the Belgians, in an interview in which he thanked the American people for the aid they have given his stricken people, assert ed that he again some day would ride into Brussels at the head of the Belgian army. The king praised highly, his army and declared he was not claiming too much to say that the Belgians saved Dunkirk and Calais at the battle of the Yser

EXPLAIN DETAILS
 OF COTTON LOANS
MINIMUM LOAN IS $500
SMALL LOTS, HOWEVER, MAY BE ASSEMBLED ON TWENTY
 BALE LOAN.

Little Rock, Dec. 24.-"It would be a disgrace if the fund loses one cent on its business in Arkansas declares the Arkansas committee that has in charge the administration of the $1O0,000,000 loan to cotton growers Blanks are being circulated through out the state to be used by pros- pective borrowers. Moorhead Wright of Little Rock is general chairman of the Arkansas committee, and there are local committees at Fort Smith, Hope, Magnolia, Pine Bluff, Monti- cello, Helena,. Forrest City, Para gould, Walnut Ridge, Prescott, Con- way, Blytheville, Morrilton, Texar- kama, Camden, McGehee, Warren, Marianna, Jonesboro, Newport, Paris, Cotton Plant, and Piggott.
 The state cotton loan fund commit tee at Little Rock, or any of the local committees will furnish all explana- tions upon request.
 Bankers and cotton owners should carefully consider the seasons ahead spring, sumer, fall and winter and be sure that their community will not need the money after it is too late to apply. The minimum loan has been reduced to $500 on twenty bales, for the accommodation of the smaller borrower. Under the original plan no loan would be made on less than 100 bales, and this caused a great deal of dissatisfaction.
 "The creation of this fund is token of better business under standing and perhaps higher personal esteem between the cotton producer and those banks that have heretto- fore had closer relations with the spinner and the speculator. No one connected with the fund except the clerical force receives any compensa- ton. That is enough evidence of good will. Were so many business men ever connected with a big cotton movement before without pay?
 "The fund undertakes to stand by it's loans until February 1, 1916, through thick and thin. The loan upon a 500-pound bale of middling cotton has been fixed at $50. One extra bale is pledged with every four bales borrowed upon to guarantee the payment of the debt and the com pletion of the contract. Thus in bor- rowing $30 each on twenty bales, the borrower puts 25 bales in the ware house with a loan of $500. No deduc- tion is made from this loan except 90 cents per bale, which goes into a guarantee fund to pay the clerical and technical expenses of the fund, and to pay any losses that might arise through lawsuits or otherwise Interest will be payable quarterly at the rate of six per cent per annum All loans are made through local banks.
 Ut is matter of sincere regret to all that the small farmer cannot be dealt with direct. The protection of the little grower is just as impor- tant to the committee as the protec- tion of the larger farmer. There is no objection to the bankers assemb- ling different mems cotton to make one lot and one loan.'

 Obviously this girl was not thief. The brilliant idea struck him of sum- moning the jeweler from whom she claimed to have received the money. Also the failure to produce Loubeque argued heavily against the house detec tive's case.
