RECEIVER ASKED FOR
 KNIGHTS OF HONOR
Application Made Several Days AGO For Appointments Alleged that Liabilities Far Excee Assets
 of Organization

Little Rock, June 11-Col. George Thornburgh and J. H. Bilheimer jr., Supreme Representatives, leave this week for Buffalo, N. Y., to attend the niennial session of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Honor, one of the oldest fraternal orders in the country, which meets next Tuesday. Several days ago applacition was made in St. Louis for the appointment of a receiver for the organization, alleging that the lia- bilities far exceed the assets. No futh- er information has been received here, and it is hoped that arrangements vii be made to tide over the present em- barassment. There are about fifty loges in Arkansas, the largest ones be- ing in Little Rock> Forrest City, Rus sellville and Pine Bluff. Some of the most prominent men of Little Rock are members.

that the 'rideau de fer is the most ter rible thing ever devised by man.
 Behind the infantry lines there seems to be an endless row of seventy t1ves. These terrible little destroyers can whirl in any direction so when the order comes for the 'rideau de fer at any point literally hundreds of guns within q few seconds are converging their fire there, dropping metal cur tain through which no mortal enemy can advance.
 Tn this section the French dropped nearly q quarter of million shells in one day. Unlike the English shrapnel, which makes little impression against earthworks, the French use explosive shells almost entirely.
 AS I walked over this section after the curtain had been lifted was ab- solutely baffled for descriptive words. All the earth in that vicinity seemed battered out of shape. The dead need ed no burial there. Down under the wreck and ruin the dead all lie cover ed just where they fell

JITNEY BUS OWNERS NEED
 NOT BE ALARMED

Little Rock, June 11-When jitney bus operators read an item from At lanta, Ga, that "Jitney buses are held to be common carriers and subject to the jurisdiction of the State Railroad Commicion," they need have become alaramed in Arkansas. The city coun- cils will continue to be the highest power in this state for their regulat- ion, unless the business becomes suf- ficently large to merit Legislative at tention. The act creating the Arkansas Railroad Commission does not give that body jurisdiction over common car riers, as a class, but only specifically over railroads ond express companies.

EXHIBIT UP TO PRO-
 GRESSIVE CITIZENS
Commissioner Page Says Exhibits will Have to be Cared for by Indiv-
 idual as Legislature Did
 Not Make Provisions

NOt Make PROVISIONS
 Little Rock, June11-The mainte- nance of the various exhibits in the Department of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture depends upon the degree of interest the public takes in it." This is the announcement made by Commissioner Page, who says that Isince Gov. Hays vetoed the item of i$1 300 for the purpose, he has no means whatever for the payment of collection, expressage and freight of exhibits. He has recommended $500 the purpose, but the Legislature, in the exercise of extreme economy, re- duced it to $1,500, which was vetoed The item of postage was also vetoed, leaving the Commissioner no means of communicating with the people with reference to the furnishing of exhibits.
 Notwithstanding all this," says MT. Page, "I am anxious to maintain creditable exhibit, representative of the states possibilities and as this is growing season for crops, I am is suing this appeal to the people, to ask them to give me by prepaid express or parcel post such specimens of agricul- tural or horticultural products as they may have, as will fairly we'll represent what Arkansas can do. l think it is indeed unfortunate that adepartnlent of our state government is compelled to appeal to private citizens for sup | port and maintenance but I am sure if the people could hear the many words of praise for Arkansas from visitors from outside states who go through the exhibit hall, they would respond readily and generously.

 t0 Join War; Cash Terms

Macedonia. Bulgarian policy in this war plays about these ambitions.
 But, having been bitten once by the diplomacy of the powers, Bulgaria now regards all with an icy suspicion. She wants to be allowed to occupy the ter ritory she desires and do it before she needs to strike a blow, and in return she will go to war in a minute, for Bulgaria is not interested in the war as moral propositions; she is interest ed only in Bulgaria.
 But an occupation of the territory is out of the question as things stand. Servia cannot brook it until she has Bosnia and Herzegovina. Greece threw out her best statesman for daring to think of making concessions to Bull garia. The entente can only promise. Premier Radoslavoff demands cash down.
 The opposition, led by Malinoff and Guechkoff, is strongly in favor of ac- cepting the promises. It is not so much that the opposition places com plete reliance on the promises as that it entertains the fear all may be lost by delay.
 There are other guarantees besides occupation" said Malinoff recently Participation in the war is the best assurance of success after the war The tide must not be lost. The time has come, if not for action, for pre- pairing for action
 Watch ConstantinopIe.
 Only one thing is holding Bulgaria back-the slowness of the allies ad- vance in their attack on the Darda- nelles by land. This is enabling Rados- lavoff to stand firm in the bargaining and to insist on his cash down terms Forcing the strait by water the Bull garians believe to be out of the queS- ton, for England cannot sacrifice her whole Mediterranean fleet. Taking the strait by land may look easy enough on paper but Is proving quite the re- verse in practice.
 To Constantinople Bulgaria undoubt | edly holds the key. The Bulgariau> know this Their only fear is that the allies might forestal them by landinn an army on Bulgarian soil to march ou the Turkish capital but they are realiz ing on the fact that the allies to do SC would have to violate Bulgarian neu trality. Every one in Sofia is talkina l politics. The words Macedonia ana Thrace fall at every cafe table. Prom. iSes and rumors of promises fill the air The moment Constantinople shopld 1 fall or seem about to fall Bulgaria will be frightened into the fight.

Balkan Nation, on Whose Decision Await Roumania and Greece, Is
 Ready to Side With Allies, but Stands Ont For Guarantees Her Share In
 snois Shai Include Macedonia.
 All eyes in Europe are now turned ,non Bulgaria. That Balkan state holds not only the key to Constantinople, but tbe power to decide whether two other neoples as well as herself shall enter the war, making it a conflict of no few or than fourteen nations.
 It is the opinion of the diplomats that the effect of Bulgaria's intervention on tbe side of the allies would be felt much more quickly than that of Italy despite the far greater strength of the Italian forces. The reason is that her action would at once release Roumania, who would rush to support the left wing of the Russians and would con- plete the ring of steel forming round the central empires.
 Bulgaria nowhere touches the from tier of Austria. She lies to the south of Roumania and the east of Servia. Close to her border stands Bucharest, the capital of Roumania. This geo. graphical situation keeps Roumania out of the war because of the possi- bilty that Bulgaria might attack her from the rear
 Was Expected to Aid Kaiser.
 For long it was thought that if Bull garia intervened it would be on the side of the kaiser But that has been altered by the determined nature of the attack on the Dardanelles by the allies. The Bulgarians now feel sure that Constantinople must fall Bull garia has promised Roumania not to attack her should Roumania join in the fight But will she go further? Her decision cannot long be postponed, it Is believed
 BulSara'S position today merits un- doymding To know the forces that bear upon it's choice is to have the in comprchenSible Balkans" illuminated and a light thrown upon the war which is essential to an analysis of the motives hidden in the intricacies of iD- ternatonal politics.
 Bulgaria, it must be remembered has two amhitions-one to regain Mace donia, which it believes is ethnically Bulgarian the other. to move it's Turk ish boundary back to the Midia Enos line. The Macedonian ambition was responsible for the first Balkan war, which was fought. as far as Bulgaria was concerned. to free the Bulgarians Of Macedonia from Turkish rule.

 One of the most striking and inter- esting dispatches from the battle line in France was that published by the New York Times from its special cor respondent, Wythe Williams, who de- scribeS the trenches north of Arras, where some of the fiercest fighting of the war has recently been taking place.
 "On this trip writes MT. Williams, Il covered large stretch of territory that until few weeks ago-some places only few days ago-Germany had claimed as her own by right of conquest. 1 walked through miles of trenches that only last February I peered at through a periscope fear fully, because any instant the periscope was likely to be shattered by a hostile bullet.
 "The result of this long walk taught me many things.
